Have you noticed how fast food chains lure us with “one-off” promotions? Install the app — get a free burger, and then… the discounts disappear and you have to pay the full amount. Sound familiar? That's because marketers are counting on you trying it, getting hooked, and coming back even without bonuses. But what if we told you that you can cheat the rules of the game and catch a freebie more often than once in your life? Let's figure out how it works with the help of the virtual number sales service GrizzliSMS
Why are fast food restaurant promotions so generous (but only at first glance)
When a chain offers “dessert for 1 ruble” or “free cheeseburger for installing the app”, this is not a gesture of goodwill. This is how they solve three problems:
- Attract newcomers — 8 out of 10 users who download the app make a repeat order.
- Compete — you are more likely to choose them than KFC if you already have a coupon at hand.
- Collect data — your purchases, preferences, location.
But there is a nuance: all the most profitable promotions are one-time. Did you get a free burger? That's the end of the “party” for your account. Clever? Of course! But this system also has loopholes.
How networks track you (and why it can be bypassed)
When you register in the application, you are “linked” to a phone number. If you try to create a second account with the same number, the system will suspect something is wrong. But there is a solution: virtual numbers. These are temporary SIM cards in digital format that:
- Cost from 1 ruble;
- Work for 10-20 minutes - enough to receive SMS;
- Do not require contracts or passport data.
With them, you become “invisible”: for the system, every time you log in, “ as the first one.
Step-by-step instructions: how to get a meal for the price of one (or even free)
Let's say you've already used the “Free Twister for your first order” promotion. Here's how to repeat the success:
- Clone the app (for Android):
- Go to “Settings” ”Applications” ”Clone” ” select “Tasty and that's it”.
- On iOS, use third-party programs like App Cloner
- Buy a virtual number:
- Go to a site like Grizzli SMS
- In the search, enter McDonalds, Burger King, KFC → pay for the number (≈5-15 rubles).
- Re-register in the application:
- Enter the purchased number → wait for an SMS with the code on the service website.
- Activate your account → receive bonuses as a new user.
Important: use different emails for each account.
When it works (and when it doesn't)
This method does not guarantee 100% success: networks sometimes block suspicious numbers. But in 8 out of 10 cases, the scheme works. Tested on:
- Promotions “Nuggets for 39 rubles”;
- Promo “Coffee + pie = 99 rubles”;
- Free desserts for a review.
Life hack: don't overuse it. Create a new account once every 2-3 weeks — so the risk of getting blacklisted is lower.
Is this legal? Will they block me?
Networks formally prohibit multiple accounts, but:
- In the worst case, they will delete the account. But even then, you will have time to catch the promotion.
The main thing is not to sell "extra" coupons on social networks. This is already fraud.
How much can you save?
Let's calculate using the Moscow menu as an example:
- Free cheeseburger - 159 rubles. → saving 159 rubles.
- Coffee for 1 ruble instead of 149 rubles → saving 148 rubles.
- Nuggets for 39 rubles instead of 189 rubles → saving 150 rubles.
Total for one cycle: up to 457 rubles. And if you repeat once a month — 5,484 rubles per year.
P.S. Freebies love silence
