Purchase Eligible Item (from US$2.63/~A$4), Get Diablo IV Early Access Beta Code @ KFC USA (Chrome Browser/App & VPN Required)

650

Edit: A Redditor has found this before me which I did not know. Credit

There's a promotion going on in KFC USA that gives out beta codes to whoever orders eligible items over email. This method only works with Chrome browser as other browsers don't have Google Pay option at check out. Works on mobile as well, credit @crunchynuts for the information.

This is for those who are interested/eager to play in the 3 day early access beta (Saturday, March 18th at 3AM AEDT - Tuesday, March 21st at 6AM AEDT) but don't wanna fork out a full purchase. For those who can wait an extra week for the open beta (no purchase required, which will be open to everyone) starts on Saturday March 25th at 3AM AEDT - Tuesday, March 28th at 6AM AEDT you can just wait :).

  • VPN to USA
  • Open Chrome browser/app (make sure you're signed into your Gmail account) and go to https://www.kfc.com/menu/sandwiches/chicken-little
  • Add to cart and select Quick Pickup
  • Search for the Delaware store(it's a bit cheaper than Alabama) or Alabama store > (I choose KFC 1326 Highland Avenue) and continue
  • Cart should be $2.63 USD tax included
  • For the name, type in Pass it on (in hopes to give the burger to a random customer in Alabama ;D)
  • Enter a random US phone number, and type in your email address
  • Select GPAY and pay with your Australian bank card
  • You will receive an email confirming your order once confirmed
  • Wait for the email containing your early access beta code
  • Enter the code at https://diablo4.blizzard.com/en-us/beta-code and select your preferred platform
  • Viola, you're in.

Hope to see y'all in the Sanctuary (pray for the servers ladies & gents).

There's a helpful countdown timer for beta periods + early download for us non Americans.

  • Does ordering off amazon still work and you can just cancel the order and you’re not even charged

    • I guess that's another way but I'm not sure if that code is limited to consoles only.

      • When you put the code into battle net you choose your platform

        • Ah that's good to know. Random act of kindness won't harm anyone.

    • +3

      How do you get the pre-order code from Amazon?

      Checked with Amazon -> Codes sent to all orders before 23:59:59 Thursday the 16th of March

  • Does it matter which store you pick?

    I picked some random AL store and it came up as $2.74, once I pay will I still get a code?

    • Yea, as long as it's the same item. I chose the store KFC 1326 Highland Avenue. It ended up as 2.63

      • strange that store got me $3.19

        • oh wait no you're right, I just dont know how to use US's map lol

  • $4 to play for 3 days? I'll end up buying the game in 4 months when reviews have come out unfortunately dont have time this weekend to play, unless we get something special for beta testing? ;o

      You get some cosmetics if you reached level 20 in beta (any of the betas).

      • Initial Casualty title for reaching Kyovashad with one character
      • Early Voyager title for reaching level 20 on one character
      • Beta wolf pack cosmetic item for reaching level 20 on one character
      • is beta only 3 days?

        • Yes, there's 2 different betas that will be going on. Early access beta (3 days) and the open beta (another 3 days) which is one week apart from one another. So that'll be 6 days all together.

      • +2

        Interesting will definitely look into this since apparently the progress carries between betas!

    • After all blizzards latest releases, NEVER pre purchase

      I want to try b4 I buy as well so ima give this a shot for $4

    The fat just got fatter.

      You'll be pleased to know Australia isn't far behind :/

    I love the idea that some random KFC in Alabama is getting dozens of burger orders to give away!

    • +1

      FYI right now it's 5:30am in Alabama. Are the KFCs even open, and if so, who are they giving the burgers to at 5:30am?

      • -2

        Seen people lining up at KFC in shopping centres at 9am often. Can't fathom it.

        Maccas breaky, fine, but KFC?

  • How to use GPAY? I only see "Enter CC info"

    e: Yes using chrome

    • Have you signed into you gmail account in Chrome?

      You should see GPAY option on top of CC details.

      • Same here, also using chrome and disabled ad blockers

        • Had to turn off ublock and save cookies, working now

  • +9

    Why would you pay money to be in a beta for a developer that has a bad recent history of making predatory games?

    I get the hope it's a good game but your money really is spent better elsewhere until reviews can at least verify its not a micro transaction grindy mess.

    • I get what you're saying. If you're not interested in paying for early access, you can just wait a week extra for the open beta which will be free for everyone. :)

    • exactly, do not whatever you do, pre purchase.

      if u need a fix to test that waters, I think $4 is a perfect way to do it

    • -2

      why does it bother you so much?

      go to reddit if u wanna complain

  • +3

    Is this a beta or a demo? Because they should be paying us to beta test their game, not the other way around

    • +1

      It's pretty much a demo until the first act of the game which caps your level to 25 if I remember correctly. There will be some open world stuff as well such as a world boss in the beta.

  • +8

    Someone should find an address for a homeless shelter and everyone from OZ community can send food there from this deal?

  • Got my code, thank you!

    • How long did it take after you ordered?

  • +4

    I don't care about the game, but I am all in for random chaos at some KFC in the US

  • +4

    Have to say, seeing a deal for KFC Alabama is the last thing I expected to see on OZB today.

    • +2

      If you can find a cheaper store, let us know or update the deal for me thanks. :D

      • If you can find a cheaper priced item we'll beat it by 10%

    • Same as pre ordering.

      • Thanks, I read the original post again, and realised I'm a dummy

  • Hmm every store I select is closed until 4am. What time is it over there? Won't let me place order

    • +1

      Choose the next day and any time.

      • Any idea if you choose next day, when you receive the code?
        Do you receive it right after paying, or only the time at which the order is scheduled for pickup?

        • You will receive an automated email that includes the code after you pay for the item. It might take up to a few hours depending on traffick but most users get it within 30 minutes.

  • which VPN should i use?

    • I used UrbanVPN (free vpn).

    • I already have Mullvad so installed that on phone, entered acct #, set to USA and done

  • Use the name Alabama Man

  • no GPAY option, only credit card? that fine?

    • +1

      Try turning off ad-blocks and accept cookies.

  • +4

    Used this contact details to pass it on - homeless shelter https://missionforhope.us/mission-for-hope-contact

  • +1

    Nice one, took about 10 minutes to get my code. Hopefully someone in Alabama gets to enjoy a nice 'sandwich'.

    • Did you schedule the order? as all shops closed

      • Yep, picked mid-day tomorrow.

  • will order get cancelled if no pick up?

    • McDonald's App here doesn't make your order until you arrive and select that you are there in the app. Hopefully KFC does the same and doesn't bin 100 chicken sandwiches.

  • FYI this works on mobile as well using Chrome

    • Thanks for letting me know, updated the information.

  • FYI - Ordered on mobile
    Scheduled pickup
    Received code within 10 mins via email after the confirmation of the order (burger)

  • Get to setting the location but then it throws this at me.

    APPLICATION ERROR: A CLIENT-SIDE EXCEPTION HAS OCCURRED (SEE THE BROWSER CONSOLE FOR MORE INFORMATION).

    Tried on my phone aswell, using surfshark and tried a few different USA server locations.

    Fixed it, had to choose a different kfc in alabama , must be overloaded.

  • +1

    Be sure to select a US location with no sales tax, as every state is different! Definitely don't pick a spot in New York or California…

    Might be cheaper to "order" from no sales tax states like Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon.

  • I wonder when KFC Alabama store receives a few dozen sandwiches order but no one picks up, their manager will be really scratching head couldn't figure out why. Maybe this will be the base of their new alien conspiracy theory.

    • Imagine how cool it'd be for the story to break and they give them to the homeless!

      • Lol. Although the much more likely story would be Diablo 4 Beta access causes thousands of chicken sandwiches to be thrown away in a small Alabama KFC. Then they interview a super southern person who tells a story that makes no sense.

  • Done, awaiting beta code :)

  • Got it

    Ordered at 8.20am sydney time
    Received code at 8.32am sydney time

  • Servers are gonna get absolutely smashed. Hope we can actually get a few days of actual play in.

  • At our local time we'll be fine.
    I'd be more worried if they schedule a maintenance once US/EU goes to sleep.

  • Credit to the post on reddit that this info was basically taken from.

  • Or you can pre order game . They dont take your money till 10 days before release and you can cancel during beta if you want

    • hrmm that sounds pretty good actually!

  • The fact they are giving away the closed beta via a $2.5 burger at KFC would tell me that the pre-purchase sales are going terribly

  • Done and done, 10 mins for code to come through after order confo.

  • Thanks, OP. I did this using a Delaware store for US$2.49 ($AU3.75 charged) and paid using my Amex with a 0 added to the end of my post code. Worked great.

  • Is this going to be subscription based?

    • No subscription at all. Buy once and thats it.

      • If you play the open beta, do you get the full game later on?

        • LOL that's priceless… Activision's pretty much fully assimilated Blizzard now.

        • +1

          Yes, if you buy it..

    • +1

      Oh, I didn't know that. I have put credit in the information. Thanks for letting me know.

  • an hour past since i ordered, still waiting for the email :(

    • did it end up coming through? mine came in quick but then another for a friend hasn't come in after about an hour too haha.

      • did your friend up getting his?

        • still nope, but I did see a post about how now people are seeing a page that states the key will be sent on the 16th (US) to maybe it's still coming.

  • Ordered from Delaware store came to $3.76 AUD through gpay received the code in 13 mins from order.

    Thanks OP!

  • Came in within about 10 minutes on the first order, did another with a different email address to get a friend access and it hasn't come through after about 40 minutes, so may possibly be 1 per person and they are matching it via the gpay email? just a heads up for anyone else I guess hah.

  • It worked. I am unable to actually find the beta but in the battle.net app

    • +1

      You will be able to download the beta early tomorrow.

  • anyone can help get a key. happy to beem/payid

  • Is the beta available yet to download?? As of now

    • +1

      Yes, you can download the beta as of now.

  • My brother lives in USA los angeles, can this deal be used in any KFC USA or only Delaware store(it's a bit cheaper than Alabama) or Alabama store. He can buy and send me the code right?

    • +1

      Any USA store and yes, he can send you the code.

  • Beta is available in your battlenet app to download now.

    ~83gigs in size but, so get downloading! seeyou saturday

    • It's 43gbs + 40gbs (optional hd texture pack)

      • hd textures defs isnt optional, its a must have!

        • You ain't wrong, but just letting people know in case they don't have a good PC.

  • +2

    Ordered @ 9.45am, will update post once code is received.
    Edit: received an email 50 minutes later saying "your code is coming" on 16th March. I guess that means tomorrow being that it's the 15th in the US right now. All looking good.

  • +1
