It wasn't the same as I previously posted, no. It is however a similar alpha numerical 11 digit code. The only 11 digit code that could be found on the bags.

well I still have my little white sticker.
that is all I should need to enter right?
cuz I dont have the bag anymore

^is the black printed code the same as the white sticker codes?

Some have the white sticker, some don't. If you got your sticker you are all set. The sack I got with the white sticker didn't have the black code near the expiration date.

Random thought - what if you have to mail in the code from the bag if you are a winner?

Good thought but at the same time, it wouldn't be hard to forge a sticker.

What if a free code won from a post card? There wouldn't be anything to mail back to Frito-Lay for those winners.

This will run the same way as the Fright Rider giveaway.

If they mail you a code back - or, perhaps, they'll have that code tied to your mailing address in their data base.

I dunno. Just trying to figure out how this crazy plan will work.

My local Target must of gotten them in cuz they were not there on Sunday and today the entire shelf was empty with the exception of the one I got. also my my sis found some at their target so i at least have two chances.

Site is live

The rules do specify one play per game code, which seems like an issue if the same code seems to be on batches of bags

page now loads

So if the same code is on batches of bags, then I wonder if any number of people could use the same code one time?

still no bags in Chicago and IN.

Shhhhh, it's a secret.

Found bags at Wal-Mart today and picked up a couple because my kids take them for lunch. All bags had the exact same 11 digit code on the front printed below the use by date.

I found bags today at Walmart in Connecticut. All had the same code.

Sure...after I use the code, then you can have it.

If they do it like they did the fright rider one then the codes received via post card mailings won't be tied to the address used to receive the codes. I had extra codes after i won my 4 and gave them to a friend of mine to use for his son, but before i did I called the help number to verify that the codes would still be valid if used for his shipping address and they told me there would be no issue because the codes emailed out are not tied to the address that was on the postcard.

Went on the site, still said "Server Happy"

I found a ton at my store went through 40 bags and found 4 different number sets 10 for each number. Bought of each just in case. I want only 1 but if I win 2 I'll trade if for the fright rider I'm going to completely miss.

Did I read the rules incorrectly, or did it state that you can only attempt once per 24 hours...Ouch...IIRC when the site was working earlier it was gathering contact info first, before letting you try a code...And if that's the case then the code's probably don't matter so much on how much they are used, and just allow Frito-Lay a means of tracking down which regions are getting winners, more-or-less.

I also noted that the mail-ins are still stating one per 3x5 received, but they are e-mailing the codes, which contradicts the idea of codes being used repetitively, since people requesting multiple codes would get multiple codes...Unless they just send one code and tell the person to get bent for any further codes.

Could anyone PM me any extra codes you have? Our area never got the Fright Rider bags and we really want Quickdraw Rattle Shake.

With the FR promo if you entered a code that was already used you get an error message. These will be one time use codes.

I don't think that's likely. These codes aren't unique like the Fright Rider codes.

I know, but after talking to the service rep the other day, apparently they are supposed to be. They were surprised the codes were on the outside and they were surprised to hear they weren't unique. I told them I have 2 bags with the same code and there were 5 other bags in the same store still with the same code. Take it for what it's worth...

I would say everyone's best bet is to mail in 3x5 cards...only way to guarantee unique codes.

It's less likely that the bags were intended to be unique and they made that many mistakes and more likely that the person you spoke with just didn't know the details of how the codes had been distributed.

Follow the on-screen instructions to input your date of birth, email address, zip code and Game Code and then properly submit an
online play to determine if you have won a prize.

Limit one (1) Play per Game Code. All participants must have a valid email address.

Limit one (1) Play per day person/email address. A “day” is defined as a twenty-four hour time period beginning at 12:00:00 AM CT and ending at the following 11:59:59 PM CT.

The website is finally up! As expected, the message says Coming Soon as of now.

For those of you mailing in for codes, DOB is required as per the official rules. I think it was omitted the first time the address was posted in this thread. Interesting because it says one play per game code...say if you lose playing a code one day and try entering using the same game code the next day (even if the system even accepts it), you may be disqualified from a prize even if you get a winner prompt...just mentioning it as that's how the official rules may be interpreted. This whole code on the outside of the bag thing is a fiasco. I'm mailing in for codes to be on the safe side.

Also, there is a limit of 4 prizes per person/mailing address and one play per day...at least that limits those trying to hoard or scalp these figures

DOB was not asked to be included on the mail in requests according to the rules on the back of the bags. I hope this doesn't screw things up for early mailers.

5664 is such a weird number for the total number of figures being given away. It's like the accountant went to the PR team and said "Yeahhhh I'm gonna need you to keep this whole 'giveaway thing' under $73,576. Yeah that'd be great.".

Actually, it's 5664 b/c they are giving away 1 every 15 minutes for 59 days (11/3-12/31).

FYI: I just got emails from Frito-Lay including the codes that I requested for this promotion. I did not include my DOB on the post cards but most importantly this nullifies the information given by a Frito-Lay rep that the PO Box isn't in service yet. All codes that I received are different as well.

I really crave chips now

I got emails from Frito Lay with codes for the Rattle Shake promotion this afternoon also, so I guess that the PO box is in service before 11/3/13.

Found Rattle Shake bags in Roseville, CA. Walmart AND Target both had them (off the 65 Freeway.). No stickers, just the codes near the Due/Expiration date.

I found bags of fright rider with codes like that but they didnt work and only the inside code worked.

Found them in gastonia, nc

Kind of sort of related to this topic, but I don't think it warranted another. (although hey maybe someone else saw them)

Walmart has ANOTHER Frito-Lay promo bag, seems to be entirely different from the Rattle Shake one..maybe Walmart is getting both?



The pack features some Swap Force guys on it, and the back claims that there's a few deals inside; $10 off SF Starter Pack AND you get a $5 Walmart Giftcard when you purchase the pack at Walmart with the coupon (so you get essentially $15 off.

Pretty cool I guess, but this just further complicates people trying to find the Rattle Shake bags....like me lol

^ That is old....I bought that months b4 I got Swap Force.

I found all 8 bags of mine at Wal-Mart in the California valley modesto area. And talked to fritolay about the codes on the outside of the bag and they said all the classics are the same and all the flavor mix are all the same too. I guess its your email it goes by and it starts on Sunday the 3rd

And one more thing I found Halloween fright rider bag at toys r us here they had 6 bags left as of today at 530pm Pacific time

Yeah, when I found the Rattle Shake bags back on 10/13, these bags were right next to them. It was very confusing at first ( I\it was there after the Midnite sale).

Not a bad deal if you passed on getting the 2 free skylanders from TRU on release day. I for one am set with the Starter sets.

I found a single Rattle Shake bag at my local Kroger this afternoon. Are you guys sure that code under the best by date is the game code? It's totally different from the way they've done the codes on the last two promos I've seen (Giants sidekicks and Halloween Fright Rider).

Wondering if DST is going to affect what time the rattle shake promo will start?

On many bags the code is at the bottom ---printed on bag--next o the use by date. I spoke to csr today to verify.

Seriously planning to stay up and try this the minute the site goes live!? LOL

I am!

I think you should've just posted this in the actual promo thread instead of making a new one
