Default An unusual request, re:Coke Products

OK, just thought I'd give it a shot.

I joined the mycokerewards, where you enter the codes found on the inside of caps on Coka-Cola products, in the hopes of eventually collecting enough to get free stuff... and am hoping for some help. Don't need the caps, just the code inside.

There are about a dozen or so different Coke products that have these codes. So far those I definitley know of are ANY Coke, and Vault and Sprite. If you see a small bottle stamped on top of the lid it has a code underneath. Codes are 12 or 15 number/letters long. They can also be found on the paper of some cases of drink as well.

If you'd like to give freely and help me out, simply PM me the code and what product the code came from.

Thanks so much!!!

BTW, is anybody else into this? How many points do you have? Have you redemmed them for anything? I have abouot 60, been collecting for a little over a month. Man, it's tough drinking that much soda...

If only you'd posted this alittle sooner..

I had found(amist all the junk in my purse), a random piece of paper with a cokerewards scratch off. I scratched it off and put it back in my purse to look at later.

A few days later I saw it in my purse again and decided to just throw it way. I knew I'd have to rack up ALOT of those points to just get a box of raisens. I dont drink alot of soda, so it was pretty useless to me.

Sorry! Would've gladly given ya that one.

I have been doing this since it started and have collected many goodies (cool keychain, Coca-Cola backpack, couple of Sephora gift cards). I currently have 1380 points but will be spending them shortly on another Sephora gift card. WOOT! My work buys cases and cases of coca-cola products every two weeks so I get them all for free.

I used to collect Kool-Aid points. After a couple of years I still don't think I had enough for anything good.

i've averaged about 200 points and haven't found much to buy. i usually spend about 40-60 points and then get back up to 200. i've used mine for mostly blockbuster rentals on the weekends. i was tempted to use it on the free month of BB online until i found a free coupon for a month. i did get a year subscription to House Beautiful. i'll probably renew my subscription with coke points next year

OMG

I have the red caps EVERYWHERE!!!

In the cars, at work, stashes of them here and there.

I can never remember to input them in, and you can only do 10 per day. I even made a spread sheet so I could just type them all once then cut/paste them in on the MCR site.

My husband thinks I'm nuts. I've got almost 400 point entered, and who knows how many else I've got stockpiled around.

How many points do you get with each code? Does it depend on the product?

I was iffy about all this until I saw someone up there say they got Sephora gift cards! I think I need to start drinking more Coke!!!

I used to do the Pepsi points when I was a kid. My dad and I got SOOOO much stuff from them! He used to send me around the back alley and have me go trash-diving to get the boxes of Pepsi and old 2 liters!

(Hey Nike! I bet if you're not currently drinking soda it would cost you less to just go to Sephora! )

LOL... you're probably right. I drink soda on occassion but it's usually just when I get a Coke from a restaurant... not usually a bottle from the store.

Thank you very much to the few, the proud, the donators

I am sure that with the labor-day holiday, there will
be plenty of Coke product drinkers out there..

Please, some more codes?

You folks are great

ha ha! me too. that was so fun when you're a kid. i got the stupid kool-aid mugs and other cheap crap- and i loved it.


okay, back to the subject. i drink whatever's on sale in cans- mostly Diet Dr.Pepper. Hubby drinks 2-liters like it's water.... but... again, Dr.Pepper products. sorry.

i was very sick all Friday, and i had a Powerade. Had I not been too sick to get on the forums, i woulda given it up. I'll keep you in mind though if i end up buying a diet coke out of the vending machine at work.
