Good time to go over to your grandparent's house for a cuppa.

Fax sent through either a physical fax machine or email-to-fax service are accepted. May take up to 20 minutes to arrive.

How to Enter:

Send in a fax containing the word “Kiwi” to +64-9-281-4506 to claim your free Kiwiburger voucher. Only the first 5,000 unique faxes sent in will receive, via a fax reply, the voucher QR code to redeem a free Kiwiburger. Only one fax number per entrant shall be eligible for the promotion. Overseas fax numbers not accepted, including online fax generators that may use an overseas fax number.

Note that, as we are dealing with older technology, fax replies containing the voucher QR code may take a few minutes to be sent. 

Redemption:

Redeem your free Kiwiburger via the McDonald’s app by 13 February 2024. 

Download the McDonald’s app, then scan the QR code contained in our fax response with your phone camera, or enter via the ‘Redeem a code’ option in the ‘More’ menu of your app. You will find your free Kiwiburger in the ‘Deals’ section of your McDonald’s app. Limit 1 voucher per fax number. Not redeemable via McDelivery®.

    any free online fax service that can receive back faxes? otherwise looks like the lawyers have won this game

      Confirmed working with 2Talk voip and a free fax line added to numbers under cloud pbx. It didn't appear to deduct any credit either?

    I recall buying one in 1996 and it came with a cardboard surround. When it was removed the shredded lettuce fell out. Looking at the photo in McDonald's app it appears the structural integrity has been improved.

    Just got my voucher. Here are the steps folks using the 2talk Fax to Email service.

    1) Create an account with 2talk - 2Talk
    2) Select 2Talk Go Free as your plan under 2Talk Voice.
    3) Enter your details and under payment options choose Direct credit and Get it Now.
    4) You will receive an activation email where you need to ring into a Toll Free number and activate your account using the provided code.
    5) This will prompt a new email stating your account is active and to reset your PW.
    6) Login to 2Talk Under Manage Numbers. Select Country = NZ, Region = 028, Type = Fax, Plan = 2Talk 028 Number. Select Add number.
    7) Under Manage Numbers, select your new 028 Fax number. This will open a new window.
    8) Under Fax Settings —> Faxmail sending options, enter your email address on the allowed list. By default you will receive fax to the email you signed up with but this can be changed under Faxmail delivery options.
    9) Create a PDF containing the word 'Kiwi' and send an email to [email protected] with the PDF attached. You will receive a send confirmation from 2talk.
    10) Wait intensifies….
    11) Profit.

    *** Please ignore if you have already received this fax message previously ***

        I think it will.. 2Talk/Vocus are very unlikely to remove something that has been around for as long as I can remember, least for a few folks trying to score a burger.

          Yeah this isn't a public service. 2talk make money off people calling or faxing 028 numbers, it's similar to calling a mobile number. It's how they can keep the service as a nominally free one, so I doubt they will get rid of it over this.

          • bigcheese on 10/12/2023 - 08:31

            @Nil Einne: I thought the same but it does look like the 028 option is gone now when setting up a new number.
            I checked after Wagner made this comment and sure enough no ability to select 028
            It was definitely there before

    • nachos on 06/12/2023 - 23:39

      awesome thanks for the detailed instructions, im stuck at step 9, how do i send the email? how does it know what my fax number is?

        You just send the email to [email protected]. They will automatically append your A party Fax number you created in step 6.

        Eventually I got an email saying:

        We will need to confirm some account details before we can activate your account. Please call +64 28 899 1234 to speak with one of our operators.

        So I think they have seen many registrations today and have set the process to manual now.

    • troy5609 on 07/12/2023 - 15:38

      Do you know if it cost any money to send these fax? Will we get a bill after the end of billing cycle?

      • bigcheese on 07/12/2023 - 15:50
        +1

        There is no way to bill you as you do not enter any payment details.
        It doesn't cost you anything to send or receive the fax.

        • Nil Einne on 07/12/2023 - 22:12

          For further clarity, 2talk is a prepaid service. If something is charged you need to add money to your account beforehand https://support.2talk.co.nz/how-to-pay-2talk

          2talk gives you 10 free national minutes a month on their free lines. https://www.2talk.co.nz/pricing Sending the fax probably takes less than one minute so you should be able to send 9 more, or call NZ geographical number for 9 minutes, over the next month.

          Receiving faxes/calls should always be free for you the recipient with a 028 number. It's how 2talk makes money on this, the interchange rates are similar or the same for 028 non-geographical numbers as they are for mobile numbers so they're receiving fees from the other party's provider. (If it's 2talk to 2talk they just keep it free for all.)

          If you try to send too many faxes or make too many calls, or try to send a fax to or call a mobile number or international number, it should fail if you didn't add credit.

      2Talk may have deleted 028 from the regions dropdown menu now! I'm a bit late to this offer, but that's what it seems like to me. I take it there's no other company in NZ who run a free fax-to-email service like that?

      • NeverLucky on 10/12/2023 - 08:18

          • Nil Einne on 10/12/2023 - 11:04

            @Tmurder91: Also showing for me on my account which is very old. It's possible they ran out 028 numbers and needed to get more. I find this unlikely for various reasons but hard to say how wide this has actually gone, except less than 5000.

            Could also be a 2talk glitch, I've found their website can glitch at times although for me the problem is generally that you select New Zealand and the region thing doesn't show.

            Edit: Actually I think it shows States and the drop down list doesn't work, but either way the point is more doesn't work rather than just not showing 028.

            Anyway whatever happened a bit weird. One thing is we don't really know how long it was gone for, it came back quickly from the first report especially since it was overnight on a Saturday but maybe just no one tried it for a while that bothered to report here. We'll see what happens going forward, since it's come back and I'm assuming the number of new customers has reduced, seems to be even less likely they'll just get rid of it.

    • nzmax on 08/12/2023 - 02:20

      Not really. It was a very easy process. The only issue is the burger is pretty tiny. How can it be worth over $10. It would say it is a $5 burger max, as smaller than a Big Mac, and probably not as nice. But it is still quite a nice burger, reminds me more of a small Burger King burger TBH.

      • Drcspy on 11/12/2023 - 07:12

        That's interesting because in the TV advert it shows a woman holding one and it looks reasonably sizeable. Deceptive advertising as usual.

        The original Kiwi Burger at Mc'd's some years ago was a really good burger.

      Yes they do seem unique. You have to load it manually into your account via the app.

    • Stoic on 08/12/2023 - 08:36

      The QR codes don't work anyway. Well I tried on my Android phone and my partner on their iOS and both had to manually enter the code.

      • Nil Einne on 10/12/2023 - 11:31

        Sorta lol that they bothered to include a QR code on their fax but didn't implement it properly.

        Mind you and I don't know if this is because their app is somewhat international or what but they include a link to confirm login rather than having to enter the number but it never works for me on several different Android device. I click on it and it opens the app and kills my login session so I then need to relogin. And this doesn't happen if I do the exact same process but enter the code so it isn't just that it's losing it when switching away from the app.

  • nzmax on 08/12/2023 - 02:23

    Just to note that if you do have a phone line and a printer/scanner, that device may have a built in fax, even if it is brand new. My brother printer/scanner did and it worked. Good to get a fax message after many years. We used to get heaps of fax spam.

      • Discount Code on 11/12/2023 - 18:13

        I tried on my iPhone and it worked with a different account. Perhaps I've been banned? It was my first time redeeming this promo although I do have dual apps on my phone so idk. I redeemed the hell out of the Fifa promo.

        I guess maybe contact them? I'm using a xiaomi phone.

        • NeverLucky on 11/12/2023 - 20:07

          Since you have dual apps, did you redeem any on the other copy of the app?

            +1

            @NeverLucky: Well technically, I have a second space (basically running two instances of the operating system). So even though it's the same imei number from the phone, they can't talk to each other.

            I did order multiple things when doing the Fifa promotion, but not this Kiwi Burger promotion.

            • 2cheap on 12/12/2023 - 09:55

              @Latex Fist: I also have a Xiaomi. The second space has a different IEMI IIRC. No issues for me redeeming on 2 accounts, one in each space. The app is smart though, if you were to uninstall the app, reinstall in either half of the phone, it knows that IEMI has used a voucher even if it was signed into a different account.

                @2cheap: It's using Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID from the android API to decide if it's a new device or not. Second user/space has a new number.

                On other phones with multiuser capability you get the option to allow second user to view/send calls/SMS, this makes the IMEI visible to the second user. (Xiaomi has this setting disabled and can't turn it on)

                    @jinxnz: You mean youve made a second user account but the McDonald's app is detectjng it as the same device? Or are you getting security check failed error? Unfortunately all I can think of is ensuring access to SMS etc is disabled in the multiuser settings.
