McDonald's virtual prize codes?

[wiltedniteflower]

The McDonald's where I work got a shipment of Neopets toys because we ran out of the ones we're supposed to have...so I got a few. The redeption page on neopets just says this

Enter your virtual prize code in the boxes below to claim your prize.

...but there aren't any boxes under that.

Is there any way I can still redeem the codes?

Wow that's great wish I could get a handful of them. Try this link

That's the page I tried before. Are the boxes showing up for anyone else?

[Chipper]

That's funny they are showing up for me.

[wiltedniteflower]

Hmm...I've changed my country from US to UK and Australia...still nothing

I only have one suggestion: check to make sure you don't have adblock turned on and the iamge blocked. I don't see it with adblock on, but I do when I disable it.

Or simply open up Internet Explorer if your using Firefox, or Firefox if your using Internet Explorer, and redeem all the codes. Usually if one browser can't see it, the other can. Atleast that happens to me.

Ah ok...I didn't know it was flash! It was the adblock, then. I turned it off and it showed up. Thanks.

Three of the codes had already been used!

How is that possible? D: Are they easy guessable? Odd.
.. There isn't a possibility of a closet-Neopian at your work hm? ;x

There was a sort of "glitch" where a whole hoard of codes were identical, except for only certain characters, of which you could switch out and get a whole new, and usable code.

I totally forget, but for example, if I had the code MCNMV-VMHJW-ZKMFR, I could switch the M's for W's and have a usable code: WCNWV-VWHJW-ZKWFR (It wasn't exactly like that, but something like that did occur.)

[wiltedniteflower]

It was probably just a glitch then. I don't think they would be that easy to guess/generate. They were sealed in their blue opaque plastic, and I got them fresh out of the box.

Did you have to buy a happy meal, or is it a perk for working there ?

[wiltedniteflower]

I didn't have to buy them, my manager told me to take a few if I want them since they're months old anyway. I'm sure it's not like that at every McDonald's though. I have tons of assorted happy meal toys around the house.
