i just used my McD's Best Buy bucks TWICE!! - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

yup. i for sure did.

i don't know if any of you have some left, but out of curiousity i entered them in my account (the long number they have on them) on the website and it gave me $4 dollars (that's how many i had) in digital dollars. but upon further inspection of them, i saw that the UPC's on them were all the same. so i used them in an order online and then 2 weeks later (today) took them to the store to see if they would accept them at the store as well.

well they did and now instead of having just $4 worth, i had $8.

i was curious because, like i said, the UPC's were the same and wondered if they entered the individual numbers they had on them as well, but the cashier just scanned one of them, duplicated it 3 more times, and treated it as a coupon.

so if any of you have any, use them online BEFORE you take them to the store and you'll get DOUBLE the amount you have !!!

DAMN!!!! What a fantastic idea. Shit, I jumped the gun and cashed mine in last week. I could've gone from $7 to $14.

Anyway, that was good work... something to keep in mind for next time.

I just brought mine into the store, and the lady just counted them and then subtracted them from the price. She didn't even bother to scan any of them.

Thats a great deal, but all I have is one left. And the last time I tried it, it took forever for the idiot to reduce the 2 dollars. I literally stood there 10 minutes while she tried to scan it and she couldnt so she got the manager and I figure its not worth going through that again.

I did that very same thing

Take that, Corporate America. You just got screwed out of six dollars. Suckers.
