Welcome to the official SD Coca-Cola.com/offers / Formerly My Coke Rewards Discussion Thread, proud to talk rewards since 2006! (We often discuss Coke promotions, (texting games, sweepstakes, etc.), which use Coke/MCR/codes or membership info to signup.)

Site: https://us.coca-cola.com/offers

A toast to My Coke Rewards, the Greatest Rewards Program in History! Applause

Coca-Cola.com Offers FAQ, (Formerly My Coke Rewards [MCR]):

- How may I contact them?
  • Phone: 800-520-2653 to reach an agent directly
  • email address: [email protected]
  • Ask Chip, your virtual agent, (formerly Allysa and Hank) on the site footer under the CONTACT US link.
- When does the promotion end?

There is no specific end date for the program.

- Inactivity

Each particular Coke promotion may have its own activity clause.

- Participating Products:
Barq's, Coke, Coke Zero, Dasani, Diet Coke, Fanta, Fresca, Mellow Yellow, Minute Maid, Powerade & Powerade Zero, Fuze, Pibb, Sprite, Seagram's, Tab.

- Values:
Point values per code are no more, All codes are equal value, but check promotion. Check packaging for a MyCokeRewards Label! Not all Coke packages have the MCR logo, (i.e. 6-pack w/glass bottles).
However, in Coke's Give Program to schools, codes still have different values to school donations, see wiki below!

- List of Accepted MCR Letter & Number Code Characters & Character Substition

There are 25 total characters, (letters or numbers only), that are accepted in 14-character MCR codes, (out of 36 available, A-Z, and 1-0). Five of the characters may also be input as substitutions for other similar-looking characters. Either upper- or lower-case letters are accepted. The available characters are:

Letters: B F H J K L M N P R T V W X (No C D E G* I O* Q S* U* Y Z)
Numbers: 4 5 6 7 9 0 (No 1 2 3 8*)

* The five accepted substitute characters for similar-looking characters:
  • B = 8
  • V = U
  • 5 = S
  • 6 = G
  • 0 = O (Zero, '0', is the officially accepted character according to MCR error messages; letter 'O' is the substitute.)

- Where do you find all the codes?
Here are a few ways...
- drink soda
- participate/lurk on this board
- ask friends/family/neighbors/co-workers to save
- dumpster diving
- jumping out of cars upon seeing flaps on the side of the road
- referring a friend on the site
- ask Maids to save for those who travel
- ask recycling centers to save
- purchase on eBay
- sporting events, zoos, parks, etc
- make trades
- become buddies with vending machine stockers
- become the vending machine stocker

Quote from magwheels :
Questions on the tax thing/1099. Say I win the airline tickets or the Home Depot $3k gift card. Next year I get a 1099. Essentially, the dollar value is considered income and I would pay tax as if it is $3K more than my income? Suppose the cost of the airline tickets is $500 (not $1500). what happens then? Thanks for your help. I am new at sticking my toe in these larger prize pools.
You can report the lower amount and then if you get audited you can explain that the other $1,000 of the prize was forfeited. Send the copy of your airline ticket purchases as well as the official terms of conditions of the offer. I am sure there is something in the legal language that says if you don't use the excess balance of the voucher then the excess funds are deemed forfeited and you shall not receive cash or other form of benefits. If the voucher can be used multiple times then you must claim the full $1,500. Once you send the documentation explaining it they will most likely close out the audit.

I work in tax related job professionally.

Thanks so much! You answered my question last time too! I got it to work with the last promotion thanks to you, but couldn't find the explanation. I have a new computer since then and didn't have anything set up.

Thanks again!

Sorry about that, didnt realize there is a $5 trade limit unless you want $5 for them.

Yeah, but there is a $5.00 trade limit and I'm sure he/she wants more than $5.00 for those tickets.

My saved sipscan icon wasn't working for some reason. Guess I wore it out during Christmas. Found another one save and played to check it. Damn wasted acct because I won the pins. Now mind you I have lapel pins from Olympics going back decades so this wasn't a total lose. But now only 2 accts to play during the wee hours.

Hi, luvhockey Smilie

Congrats on the pins! Are we only limited to one prize per account? I read where we are limited to 3 entries per day (& 1 bonus), but didn't see where the prizes were limited. Got a Share-A-Coke code & I figure that's it then?

At the bottom of section 6 in the rules [coca-cola.com]:
Quote :
Terms and conditions of all prizes apply. No substitution, exchange, or transfer of prize by any winner. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any prize for one of equal or greater value. Winners are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with prize receipt and/or use. Total ARV of all prizes: $272,245. Limit: 1 prize per person.
I think that many of us that have won a prize keep trying in the hopes that this rule is not being enforced, but don't believe anyone has won twice.

Won on sister's account on 01/20. Too bad it is a walking billboard, otherwise it would make for a nice cap in the summer is it is white and vented.

**edited to add: it came from Skybridge Marketing Group

I'm not a hat person, but nice that they are shipping stuff while the Olympics are still going on. If they are shipping stuff now I wonder what the 8 to 10 weeks after it's over in the e-mail is all about? Does that just apply to the high end prizes?

Just checked my USPS account and it looks like what I won has been shipped too. Wanting see what the $30 blanket and mittens look like.
