Inspired by recent posts, I went looking into what makes these app deep links tick.
I found out.

Here are some goodies:

21 Pieces Original Recipe Chicken $21 Expired
9 Pieces Original Recipe Chicken $9.95 Expired
30 Nuggets $10 Expired
3 Nuggets Go Bucket $2.50 Expired
Ultimate Box $10 Expired
10 Original Recipe Tenders $10
Original Recipe Twister $5
1 Original Recipe Tender Go Bucket $2.50
Regular Chips $1
2 for 1 Zinger Burgers $5.95 credit to Rrocky Dear mod: still working at some stores, not only for me
Fill Up Box $4.95 credit to Rrocky

Links tested to work on both iOS and Android.
These links shouldn't expire when they pull a promotion (unless they remove it from the menu).

Troubleshooting

If the links open in your browser (not the app) and you just get a 404 Not Found error,

iOS:
Long press the link and tap 'Open in "KFC"'. If this option isn't present, see if there's an app update available in the App Store.
Or try this solution from tinysoldier

Android:
click the Red KFC icon in the url box to get redirected to the KFC app
For color os / oppo users… heres how to adjust your app settings in order to use the links to take you directly to the app.

Nerdy write-up:

The Android-only links that have been posted before were Google AdWords links that look like this

https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjIypPa24jvAhVFDCs…

that redirect to something like this

intent://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-31783?action=customizeItem&userSelectsSite=false&gclid=(removed)&gref=(removed)#Intent;scheme=https;package=com.kfcaus.ordering;S.market_referrer=gref%3D(removed);end

which is a shame because the intent:// URL scheme isn't recognised by iOS.

On iOS, KFC uses branch to manage promotional app deep links, with links distributed that look like this

https://kfcau.app.link/mkBC1Q1A4db

that on mobile, if the app is installed, will redirect to something like this

https://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-31519?action=custo…

These links also work on Android.

The easiest way to pull the menu from KFC's servers is to MITM the app. It's found at

https://nolo-api-ssa.ncrsaas.com/v1/Menus/(storenumber)/10000?includeInvisible=False

You can generate your own deep links by using the item's five digit MenuItemId from the raw menu I've dumped here.
I dumped this just now and eyeballing it there's some new menu items that I haven't seen before (originally started working on this last week) including a whole FOMO WOW menu.

    Australia's chickens are living in fear thanks to you. I hear they're looking for you for revenge.
    But fear not! You can build a fort made of KFC boxes and buckets and hide away. Certainly wouldn't be able to run once you've eaten 33 nuggets, 30 pieces and 10 tenders ☺️☺️

          Not sure why mine wouldn’t specifically with the 10 tenders. I was looking forward to eating 5 and pretending to put 5 into the fridge for later only to actually eat 10 at once then wheelbarrow my stomach around for the rest of the day!

                1. Clear cart
                2. Force close app
                3. Open app (make sure you're logged in)
                4. Find the free delivery Tower promo and add the Tower item to cart
                5. Go back to Ozbargain and click the hack link and add to cart

      • Ceevee on 09/03/2021 - 16:09

        It works in iOS for me using Safari. Links open the KFC app (I needed to be logged in first). Some people are having issues with the links not opening the app and are getting the Error 404 message.

        Suggest maybe clearing Safari/browser history, deleting the KFC app then re-installing and restarting the phone. Deep links in iOS should provide the option to open in-app if the app supports it.

      1. Have the KFC app installed and be logged into an account.
      2. Select your location for pickup.
      3. Press the link in the OP and force the app to load (via either Brandogs way above, or by holding down the URL and pressing open with external app) and it will load the offer in your cart.
    • Skinnerr on 09/03/2021 - 15:29
