I've used this "trick" for a while and thought i'd share it.
Visit the link, type in a random string of numbers and spam the continue button, which should then let you enter the survey and redeem a validation code with no previous purchase required. Useful if you want a bit extra and you can't find any old kfc receipts about.
ahh I guess im lucky, my local only asks for the code at the speaker
What is that pizza generator? Does that give you a freebie? EDIT: Oh don't worry, I found it with some googling.
no need to enter any numbers, just triple tap continue
Even better - the codes don’t mean anything. You can say a random code - and it works. Their system doesn’t verify it.
I'll give this a go tomorrow
This has been around for years… lets hope they never notice with big announcements like this
The code, will it only work in-store or can be online too?
I think drive thru and in store only, not working at the in store kiosk too
And the websites gone!
Still there for me
How Bizare, the website said "coming soon" when i went on there
Anyone know if this is able to be used in store at a kiosk? June 2024
Only works at the counter or drive thru. I've used the same code a few times now lol
The codes seem to work for now, but has anyone noticed KFC receipts now have a QR code instead of a URL, and it's a different site to the usual survey site. It generates a different format of code now.
Do you happen to have a pic of the QR code or a link to the new site?
The URL will change. So remember to keep the receipt, do a fake survey and generate a code.

I just did the survey entering a random receipt number and store location. At the end it asked if I wanted a free chips and drink and then asked for my email address.
The code looks ridiculous. It's going to take forever to enter into the terminal. It's something like B_3aRgHYTSJDPq6T
Imagine drive through. The code is Upper case B for Bravo, underscore, number 3, lower case A for Alpha, Uppercase R for Romeo…
"It will take about 3 minutes to tell us about your KFC experience. At the end of your survey, you will be given the opportunity to confirm your email address and be sent an offer code. You are eligible for one offer within any 30-day period."
Guess will need to use different email addresses if I have kfc more than once in 30 days.
@Stoic: Also, looks like just using https://survey.kfc.co.nz works and redirects to a fuller link.
Did the survey again and used the same email address and got an email saying I've already received one within the last 30 days.
@Stoic: Was having trouble doing the survey for real on the day I got the receipt, it kept saying 'We can't verify your transaction' after I put in the receipt number, time and location. Worked the next day though. Did you manage to put in random info, and get it working?
EDIT: Actually I just tried again with random info and got beyond that step. Looks like they took off that layer of verification as it was causing issues for everyone doing the survey. It was unnecessary anyway, since now they require the code to be written on the receipt in all circumstances, even drive-through (confirmed by kfc worker on reddit). They never give me a receipt when I do drive-through though. Guess everyone who wants to do the survey for real after drive-through will have to ask for one.
@curiousb: Oh so they're all asking for receipts now. Wonder if you could argue that there's no mention of needing a receipt in the email they send you with the verification code. All it says is Max 1 survey per receipt not that you need the receipt to claim.
@curiousb: I went in tonight cause hot and spicy. Found someone's left behind receipt laying around. It didn't have the QR code and just said to visit https://survey.kfc.co.nz.
I didn't need the receipt though. Just showed them the email/code on my phone and they got the manager over to look at it, enter something and said sweet.
@Stoic: Oh okay probably depends on the branch. I don't know if they would accept just the email on a phone during drive-through. The guy at my branch refused to do it without seeing a code written on a receipt, during drive-through. Might just be the branch though.
The newer receipts with the qr code also have a dedicated space to write the superlong survey code. I'm pretty sure that whoever designed this new system has seen this thread - so many layers added - they are really trying.
Looks like they might've caught on, tried at the drive thru today and was told they are now using new alphabetical codes and no longer accept the numerical ones.
Yeah, had the same experience. Someone on reddit said they worked at KFC and confirmed they've been told they have to cite the code on a receipt now, even during drive-through. Also, codes are super-long and alphanumeric now and you can only get emailed one per month to your main email address.
Damn :(
@curiousb: Keying in the whole survey code will take more time than taking multiple orders. Thus losing money. What were they thinking when they made the change?
@The Hound: I think it was natural for the workers taking orders through the drive-through intercom to just ignore the requirement to cite the receipt, because it is so much easier to do all the input at once, then they don't even have to talk to you when you get to the window. Makes their life much easier. The codes are so long and complicated now that nobody would dare try to read/hear them over the intercom.
It's silly though, they require a manager to approve every instance now, that would be enough to ensure codes are cited on a receipt without needing super long codes. Maybe they plan to take that manager requirement away later.
They can always reduce the code length in future though. They're probably just starting with everything they can think of, and will reduce a few unnecessary aspects later. Probably watching this thread to see what we are thinking, haha, damn, it's over
@The Hound: I used the new survey today, the person behind the counter just sighted the email quickly and put it through, they never typed the code in.
The KFC in this country is such crap compared to Australia and everything they get compared to here. Now one little token ‘survey code’ Addison. Is also gets difficult… So disappointing.
Went to KFC Christchurch Airport and they're still using the 5 number code and the receipt is the old talktokfc site.
Did you use it with or without a receipt?
They didn't ask for a receipt. I just showed them an old screenshot I had from doing the survey.
I haven't been back there since so no idea if they've upgraded their systems or not to the new survey code.
I always use the GitHub pizza generator, but last time I went they ask me for a receipt beside the code I gave them
