That still works. Instant prizes will have a tiny QR code on them and you can still take them to the counter and let the person behind scan it. At least here in the UK.
I might try; assuming there is anyone at the counter to actually scan a QR code. I did some very basic research (US) and while you can still get pieces for free, it seemed to me that you need the app in order to do anything with them. Which seemed potentially illegal, but I guess since the app is free they can still say "no purchase necessary." I mean, a phone to run the app on isn't free...
