Mello Yello Nation Win Tix, Catch Flicks - Text To Win - ends 7/31/13

FYI: Tried USED caps from previous Sprite text games and got the message: This cap has previously been used.

Quote from anythingu : Have you gotten the email from them after you entered the code on the website? I won yesterday and still waiting.

Yes. I received both "big news" emails from eprize within a couple of minutes after redeeming the winning codes they sent me via text.

FYI, you must redeem your winning codes within 30 days after receipt, but your e-Movie Cash codes do not expire until 9/30/13.

Used black caps entered as Coke Zero work - I won twice so far on 4 entries. My feeling is that this game is not widely known yet, so its easier to win now. Redeemed one so far. Got the email right away, so if you're not seeing it, check your spam folder.
Nice!! Now I have movie tix from Kellogg's, Stouffers, Lean Cuisine, and Mello Yellow.

I won this morning with a used MCR cap, and lost with an unused cap!

It's nice to see the used caps being available for texting too.

Be sure to give thumbs up to this thread.

p.s., It's only one movie ticket per win,

I wish I could figure a way to print just the ticket and not the 2/3rds of the page of Mello Yello advertisting!

Any ideas?

Find it odd you just win one ticket instead of a pair---but we have a long time to win our limit of 5.

Hit print screen and paste it into paint. Crop all of the stuff you don't want printed, then print it. They really only need the number on the certificate, as they enter it into their system like a credit card.

Although it has been a while, I have used Hollywood movie cash on fandango.com. They are essentially Mastercards. All you have to do is type the number in to the payment as a Mastercard number with no spaces, and leave the M at the front of the cert number out as well. There is also an Address, ZIP, expiration, and 3 digit security code on the certificate. That way, you don't even have to print anything out. Just keep it under $12 and you are good to go. Print your tickets at the theater with your fandango confirmation.

Is it still being delivered as a PDF? If so, you can make resize the window and scroll the page so that only the ticket information is showing, and then go to the Print menu and choose "Current View" under the Print Range. Turn off Page Scaling and uncheck "Auto Rotate and Center". It still centers it for me wasting a whole page of paper but at least I don't waste ink.

As oilman1 said, you can use it on Fandango to buy tickets (even though it says in the FAQ that you can't). Unfortunately you can't buy gift cards from Fandango with them anymore (thereby extending the expiration date) because Fandango's made $15 the minimum amount for gift cards. It also eliminates most 3D movies and night movies that go over $11 (before including the service charge) since Fandango won't let you use more than one payment method.

I have tried used black caps, new green caps and new silver caps. None worked for me. Aren't Mello Yello caps green?

I have used green caps (sprite) and black caps. Some have worked and some haven't, not sure why. I have won 3 tickets so far.

Both black and green caps should work as long as the codes have not already been redeemed for points by texting. Once you text the code the cap is usually done.

Thanks one and all; everyone please rep these members for saving you ink!

I won again this morning, and I just used fldude's way to print the bottom portion. As it turns out, my black in was fading too! I'm lucky I got it all out.

I didn't find Page Scaling and Auto Rotate and Center, but it came out fine anyway.

Thanks. Won 2x tonight.

This morning I received a "Sorry we are unable to validate your code right now"

So I tried the code later, and it said I had already entered the max # of codes today.

I did receive MCR points for it, on the first try, because the "max # of codes" message said I already had received MCR for it.

I hate when that happens.
