Coca Cola Compliment - Efficiency At Its Best - My Coke Rewards Program - My Coke Rewards program
Compliment
I have been participating in Coke's "My Coke Rewards" program for more than a year now. Basically, all I do is enter codes from Coke products at their Web site. You earn points for each code. When you have enough points, you can redeem them for various products -- everything from Coke products to Gift Cards to magazine subscriptions to a wide range of miscellaneous stuff.
Since I already drink Coke, I already have the codes, and it just takes a minute or two once or twice a week to enter them. Coke asks nothing else of me.
Every now and then, in addition to accumulating points, you can randomly Win prizes, like Coke products, extra points, and even cash. For doing nothing but entering codes, one night I won two $50 certificates I could use at a wide variety of stores, from Meijers to Kmart to Walmart to Barnes & Noble. (I used them at two stores, without a hitch.)
A couple of weeks before Christmas, I decided to redeem some of my points for a cool little item. This was the first time I redeemed any points. All I did was click on the item I wanted, and that was it. (The Web site already had my name and address from when I registered.)
They sent me an email showing what I had ordered and when it should arrive. They kept the shipment's status current on the Web site. Then one day, there it was -- my prize for participating in the program. I was especially pleased, and even a little surprised, that it arrived in time for Christmas.
Since then, I have ordered two more items on two separate occasions. When I have the points, I click on what I want, then *poof* it arrives.
What intrigues me the most is how efficient they are. There's no tricky Web sites to maneuver where they try to get me to buy other stuff or sign up for questionable deals. I just click on something and it is sent straight to me.
I think it's nice to see something work exactly as you wish it would work. Bravo to Coke -- the Greatest Soft Drink of All Time!

My wife collects the points. She has gotten all kinds of stuff over the years. Her only complaint is that the codes are sometimes difficult to read on the cartons/bottles. But she loves it.

I agree about the codes being hard to read sometimes, especially from the bottom of cases of Coke from Costco. But in the end, they somehow get entered.

Awww...I want that Teddy Bear!!!! Great to know the points are worth it. Mr. Mike passed on some points to me and I drink about a 2 liter of Coke everyday...I guess I should start redeeming those points again...thanks!

I have been using My Coke Rewards for years as well...and I've been happy. Whenever a problem arises, they do respond to complaints efficiently. Once I sent away for several AMC Theaters "Silver Tickets" (which included movie admission and a large soft drink)...but never received them. MCR put my points back in my account. They are also good at letting you know if and when there are delays in processing an order. MCR is very well run.

My brother used to do Pepsi points back in the day. We still have a lounge chair he earned with his points in the garage.

How many caps does it take to get anything? I have about a thousand empties out in my shed.

I used to collect the codes, but all I ever redeemed them for was a magazine subscription or two. Now I give them away daily at free-coke-rewards-codes.com :)

Two complaints: First, they stopped giving away really good prizes like they had offered in the beginning of the program.
Then, 1,000 coke reward points were canceled. I'm not one to always look in my Coke Rewards program but the had sent a message to me telling me (basically) to use my points or lose them. I get the message too late and
was really bummed to see all the points that I had accumulated were gone.
I still play but just not as excited as I once was with the Cole Rewards program.
