Mcdonald's Monopoly playatmcd, McDonald's Monopoly McDonald's Monopoly 2009 - won Free Parking Shell Gas Card, but never got it Oxford, North Carolina

I don't know that I'd call it a rip off per se, since this is a game, but a large reputable company promising prizes and not delivering has got to be close.

In the 2008 McDonald's Monopoly game, I was thrilled to have landed on Free Parking to win a Shell Gas Card. I carefully followed the instructions they gave me, filled the forms, scanned my game piece for my records, and sent the forms and game piece in exactly as specified.

We called sometime in March I think to see if they'd sent it or what happened. They said they sent it, so there's basically nothing they can do. I guess they think we're lying.

I wonder if these things come in an envelope that says "free gas card" or "MCDonald's Monopoly" or something or if an employee swiped it.

I guess one can't expect too much from a chain won't even give you an extra pack of sauce without charging you.

All these people quoted on the bag that say they've won? Total garbage. I don't believe McDonald's even gives out prizes.
