Coke Reward Points

[jeffrey]

Does anyone here collect coke reward points? If so, do you have a special way to collect them or get extra ones? What do you think is the best thing to spend the points on?

[hamchan]

I used to. I pretty much just used them on more Cokes!

I used to years ago when they ran this promotion. But, I don't drink soda pop anymore.

I do. It is pretty simple to get free points lots of places if you keep your eyes open. I get a lot at our synagogue anytime there is a party or event. I watch for empty 2L bottles and grab the caps. Sometimes I'll take them out of the recycling bin (they shouldn't be in there anyway). When we are at a friend's house party, I'll do the same (as long as they don't collect points too). At Disney World, they only sell Coke products so I'll always find caps there.

The best source is our next door neighbor. She drinks Powerade Zero by the case. I asked her a while ago to save the caps for me so every couple of weeks she brings over a bag full of them.

We earn some of our own points too. We always have a 12-pack of Diet Coke in the fridge and occasionally buy a 20oz bottle when we're out somewhere.

I use the points to get free Coke. I just ordered a coupon for a 12-pack a couple of days ago.

I also use them to buy 12 packs of coke. I only spend the points on 12 packs when it goes down to 30 points/pack. Considering a 12 pack is worth 10 points...its really only costing you 20 points.

I also like to wait till xmas time. They do their 12 days of xmas. They have a bunch of $25 gift cards for places most people shop...walmart, home depot, tj maxx, etc.

Also, MCR finally has an app so you can enter points if you are on the road and do not feel like carrying caps home with you.

Early on, they had a horrendous website. It took forever to load and forever to enter a code. The website is much better now but the app is the best. It takes just a few seconds to enter each code.

I do like when they run specials like double points for 12-packs. A few weeks ago they had double points for Powerade and I got to put in 40 codes for double points. And point specials on items are great too. I've taken advantage of those a few times too.

I was actually in on this before they capped the number of codes per day you could enter.

The golf course I worked at sold only coke products and was a goldmine for caps thrown in the trash bin on each tee (hundreds per day).

Got a lot of good merchandise back then, my job now doesn't have the access to the caps, or would it be worth it with the limit on codes entered per day.

[disneysteve]

would it be worth it with the limit on codes entered per day.

You can enter 120 points per week. So that's 40 caps from 20oz bottles or 12 codes from 12-packs. That's plenty for me most of the time but I could see it limiting folks who have access to large amounts of caps.

A lot of people have multiple accounts. You just need separate addy's when they mail stuff out.

I think its supposed to be one account per household...but my wife and I have our own accounts. She mails everything to our addy and I mail everything to my parents.

If you have tons of caps left over you could always try to sell them on ebay. Although im sure theres something in place that restricts those points being sold.

I've certainly done that for other purposes like mail-in promotions that were one per household. I would send one to my house, one to my office, one to my mom, etc.

I forgot about the coke rewards. I'll have to start paying attention.

In bottle return states the bottle return places are a gold mine. A lot of people put their cans back in the boxes and then leave the cardboard in the bins. I would always get the dewU points that way.

The coke rewards program has been going for quite a while. Nice to see they can stick with a rewards program instead of having it be so short it is pointless.

[disneysteve]

The coke rewards program has been going for quite a while.

True. It's been years. And as I said, they've improved their website, added texting, and added a smartphone app so they seem pretty committed to the plan.

[hamchan]

Ugh. I hated that website. Maybe I should start entering them again since they have an app. The newsstand stores in the airport only sell Coke products too. We wind up with a few a day in our recycle bin at work.

Coke Rewards

I gather caps from the in-laws. I usually build during the year, wait till late november/early december to redeem. They ususally run a promotion (or I hope they will again) where certain gift cards have a sale for about 500pts for $25 dollars. It seems the best value and make for good Xmas gifts.

I am also so glad they added a enter multiple codes area. So much faster. But I still dont understand why you have to enter what drink the code was from. You put it on the cap, shouldnt you know?
