Seems that Dominos may be in need of a “bailout” after this latest snafu.

Spoke to a Domino’s rep, who told me the free-pizza code was created internally for a promotion that was never actually green-lit. A customer happened to enter the code (Domino’s has been heavily advertising their “bailout” promotion), told the world, and here we are.
