Duck Donuts

July 01, 2023 11:20AM
Can you go over the $10 ordering requirement? It says make a purchase of $10 or less but then it says order a drink of choice and at least 1 donut. A drink and 2 donuts for me is totalling $11, so I am wondering if it I need to keep it at the one drink/donut limit? Thanks

I signed up for one. It just says make sure you get a donut. It did not require a drink. Maybe it's a different MSC? It used to require a drink a few years back.

Any hints on the MSC? None by me, but I am stopping at one in Mall of America in August. Thanks in advance.

You are required to order 1 drink and at least 1 donut. So why are you complaining that a drink and 2 (TWO) donuts is over $11.00 Order just one drink and just one donut. Several years ago, I ordered a very expensive donut sundae and a drink, and the total was $10.18. I had to pay the extra 18 cents. Last year, a single donut and a single drink were $4.95. I think that you could order 2 donuts and one drink, but you will only be reimbursed for $10.

"Small purchase that must include a donut of $10 or less"

There might be two different shops going on?

The way I read it is that the donut should not be more than $10??

Mine just got approved. They will cover$10. I bought a half dozen donuts for $11 and change.

I don't appreciate you using the word "complaining" which I'm not, so you don't need to be rude. One part of the guidelines states buy at least one donut $10 or less, whereas another part of the guidelines wants you to comment on a drink. I was just wondering if they would reimburse over $10 because it said the purchase must be $10 or less. My husband wanted to also try so I ended up just sharing my donut with him and getting a drink which was just ok.

Good to know! I figured they would only reimburse up to $10 but didn't want itmto be denied because I went over. Also good to know that a drink is not required.

You have an option to put N/A for the drink. We're doing another one of these tomorrow. Those are good donuts.

I was going to ask about a hint for the mystery shop company because everyone raves about these donuts and then I remembered that I don't like donuts. Honestly, what was I thinking.

I don't like donuts either except for apparently these. Even if you don't get the shop, go give them the $2 and try one of these things. My favorite is the chocolate frosting with coconut and raspberry drizzle.

What are your favorites, those of you who have had them?

@dafizisblue - I am certain @myst4au was not being rude. They obviously read your comment quickly and thought you were trying to get as close to $10.00, as possible, but it took you just over. So they were trying to be helpful by suggesting one of each item. They are by no means a rude person. Sometimes we say things with a smile, but in printed form it can seem quite different.
