http://playatmcdca.promotions.com/monopolyca/ca/page.do?page=rules.html


Without Purchase: To request a Chance Piece without buying something at a participating McDonald's restaurant, persons in Canada may mail, postage prepaid, a self-addressed stamped envelope bearing sufficient postage and their return address (name, street address, city, Province, country, and postal code) legibly printed manually in ink thereon to: McDonald's 2005 Best Chance Monopoly Game, Game Piece Request, P.O. Box 70, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, E2L 3X1. DO NOT SEND ANY POTENTIAL WINNING GAME MATERIAL(S), COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS TO THIS ADDRESS. Participants may submit as many Chance Piece requests as they desire, but each request must be mailed in a separate outer envelope. Requests that are sent in business reply envelopes, are photocopied, are mechanically reproduced are not addressed manually in ink, or are not mailed separately in separate outer envelopes will NOT be honored. One (1) Chance Piece (consisting of two Game Stamps plus one Best Buy Piece) will be mailed in response to each request, while supplies last. Mail-in requests must be postmarked no later than November 8, 2005, and received no later than November 15, 2005. If the Game runs long in restaurants, these dates are subject to a corresponding extension.


Chance Pieces are not available at any McDonald's® in Wal-Mart® restaurants. Each Chance Piece offers participants either, in the case of Best Buy Bucks (each a "Best Buy Buck"), the opportunity to receive a $2 discount off a single purchase at any participating Best Buy retail store in Canada (or off a single online purchase at www.BestBuy.ca) or to win a Best Buy Gift Card (a "Gift Card"). A Best Buy Buck is subject to verification and the participant's compliance with these Official Rules. No more than one (1) Best Buy Buck can be used (for a $2 discount) in a single purchase at a Best Buy retail store or online. Other restrictions apply. See Rule 5 e) for Best Buy Bucks terms and conditions.

Send as many as you want, get back as many as you want.

Pros - Will get back more than you give
- Get 2 free game pieces as well, which may give you instant win/rare game peice (though I doubt it)
- Get 2 plays on www.playatmcd.ca (can win ps2, psp, ipod, etc.)
- Fun?

Cons - One best buy coupon redemption per purchase
- Submisions must be hand written (painful on the hand)
- Something may go wrong (mail lost)
- 1 dollar spent on stamps per submission (2 envelopes) -thanks to deals4j for info

Send 300, costing $300 + cost of envelope, out and you'll get $600 best buy bucks, 600 game peices, and 600 online game plays. You get the idea right?

thx

[Midevilshadow]

No prob. If you could use more than 1 best buy buck at a time, this would be a GREAT deal in my opinion... but sadly that's not the case.

Has anyone tried to use more than one before?

Also, does anyone know the current price of stamps?

[deals4j]

Also, does anyone know the current price of stamps?

50 cents each, so it'll be 1 dollar for each request.

[carabunny]

stupid question:

i never sent in anything to ask for game pieces or anything...

what do i say? do i just write "i'm requesting game pieces thank you have a nice day?" lol

[Esca]

I bought McDonald's today and the Best Buy tab was blank. I don't know if that was a printing error or not since it's the first time I've seen it. I did win a free small coffee though.

it also seemed blank to me, then you discover that you didn't peel it off enough, for drinks since it's cold, you end up only peeling off the blue best buy logo which is sticky, peel the whole thing and u'll see the 2 bucks (or a gift card if ur lucky?)

oops... sorry for the seperate posts, but if you joined at home, go buy stamps at stooples, that'll give you 20% (hence 20 cents) off.... i don't think i'll bother with all this mechanical work, but where might ppl who do this get cheap envelopes?

[eBuddy]

You don't have to write anything. A processing clerk will probably just check for your SASE then put a chance piece inside it.

anyone with the time mind starting a thread with best buy items which are really cheap? the second link isn't that useful to me... paying 2.99 for 1 song is way too expensive

the 50-pack memorex spindles are on SALE Oct 7-10 for 15.99

What's the minimum payment to get a bestbuy $2 coupon?

May I get a BB $2 coupon by pruchasing a large size drink?

[kaddy69]

In the USA, you can stack the best buy coupons. How come canada always get shafted? Just like those $750 off dell coupons!! :mad: :mad:

Its only on large fries I found out :< Bought a medium and not even a single sticker to play with.

large and medium drinks have 2 game stickers but no BB $2 off

[convoluted]

Can someone clarify this for me? How does one obtain a bestbuy coupon?

I went to a Walmart (which may be the reason) I keep getting board pieces but not anything about bestbuy?

I order with a medium drink and large fries (thus 4 tabs) and someone else I was with also did this and neither of us got a bestbuy coupon with the 8.

Are they specially marked?

Thanks

Yeah Walmart doesnt give it for obvious reasons you have to go to a seperate mcdonalds location.

Thanks :D I just saw a commercial actually that shows on the fries, there are best buy coupons underneath the game tickets.

Hm... what's this obvious reason you're talking about?

[crabby1997]

hi, just wondering, we can just use the best buy 2 bucks directly in store without filling in those forms and mailing it to best buy and wait for a reply right? can just some one just clarify for me? thanks :)

[Siefer999]

Hm... what's this obvious reason you're talking about?

i guess bb could be considered a secondary competitor to walmarts electronics dept. but i guess any company wouldnt want to advertise any competitor anyways, especially in their own store.

eg, your eating mcds in walmart and were about to buy a cd but you see a 2$ off coupon at bb, if bb is convenient for you, you go to bb cause its cheaper

I'm pretty sure only the large drink gives out the BB coupon.

Medium Fries - no tabs
Large Fries - 2 tabs

Medium Drink - 2 tabs
Large Drink - 2 tabs + BB coupon

Just remember to peel hard enough because it seems I only peeled the top portion of the BB coupon...

medium fries and drinks have mcdonald tabs
large fries have bb coupon as well
large drink (from what i recall) only has mcdonalds tabs

deli sandwich also has bb coupon

[Esca]

Do the McDeal come with medium fries and drink? Well I ordered that and I also biggie sized it which is how I got the sizes and tabs results.

[sPiKyAZN]

So if i get a McDeal and upsize it, i get the tabs on the drink and the best buy? How much does it cost to upsize?

59c?

[Big Brother]

If I use the codes to play roll the dice game, will it kill my $2 bestbuy coupon?

[yayawhoo2003]

To get ultimate stamps:

Chicken Selects (3 or 5 piece): 2stamps
Supersiz Fries: 2 Stamps
Large Drink: 2 Stamps

[WalnutCrunch]

Hm... what's this obvious reason you're talking about?

Probably because BB is a competitor of Walmart. It's in the fineprint posted by the OP.

So where do I have the best chance of getting a BB buck?

[jrnight]

Just goto a regular non-walmart McDonalds and you'll get the $2 BB coupon.

Btw, Anybody know what the winning pieces are? It would be nice to get a list going so you don't have the winning piece but not cash in because you only go to McD's once a month.

[eBuddy]

By mailing in the SASE. See the original post.

[eBuddy]

I think that the one-in-a-trillion :lol: pieces are the same as previous years:

Mediterranean Ave.
Vermont Ave.
Virginia Ave.
Tennessee Ave.
Kentucky Ave.
Ventnor Ave.
Pennsylvania Ave.
Boardwalk
Short Line.

In the highly unlikely chance that you get 1 of these rare pieces, then you should send in as many SASE or buy the McCancer items in order to complete the winning set. Do not be a bigger idiot than those idiots soliciting to pay you a tiny fraction of the prize value if you sell them the rare piece. :evil:

[lurker99]

Can the outer envelope address be mechanically produced and the SASE manually addressed or does both envelopes have to be manually addressed?
