    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I got a card just now. I win!
    Its a gold coloured card. Very shiny. Executive Gold Privilege Card it's called. 'This card entitles you to a FREE Medium Extra Value Meal' valid after 10.30am only.
    It has something rubbed out on it - under certain light I can make out "Northgate Retail Park, Heckmondwike" I guess that is where it was valid for. Rubbing the writing out badly does not make it valid everywhere does it?

    Will I have the guts to use it in a store?

    Glad you got one mate, but the fact that the writing is rubbed out on it (if obvious) will mean no-one will accept it.

    If the McD's is busy then they might not have time to check, but if someone was trying to get a free meal off me then I'd make sure I checked!

    Yeah, I want to see if you can get anything with it!
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    if it says 'Northgate Retail Park', it may be counterfeit, because the correct address for McDs in Heckmondwike is:

    Northgate Centre
    NORTH
    GB - HECKMONDWIKE WF16 9RL

    I can't see that they'd put the wrong address on their own cards, can you?
    I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.
  • I think "valid after 10.30am only at McDonalds Restaurant" (next line) Northgate Retail Park means that it is only valid at that restaurant.

    At least it came I suppose, worth a try.
