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

You're on a roll - literally and figuratively! Congrats!!

I've played both early morning time slots for the past 10 days and I've won nothing but sacks under the ol' eyes from lack of sleep!!!!!
Thanks. No matter what time I go to bed, I always wake up between midnight and 2AM. One of the "perks" of being a, shall we say, senior citizen. And I'm retired, so I can sleep in after that. Just talked to a cousin in Florida who wants me to play for her now...
Actually looking forward to Feb.26, when the madness is over.

Good perks it seems. Hey if I knew you were such a good luck charm I would have asked that you play for me as well! LOL Wink

It's pretty straightforward.
  1. Start the self-checkout transaction by scanning the back of the card you're purchasing.
  2. The POS terminal will prompt you to enter the value you wish to load onto the card; enter the amount.
  3. Press the "Pay Now" button (or whatever it's labeled) when you're ready to complete the transaction.
  4. Choose gift card as payment type.
  5. Use the hand-held scanner to scan the bar code on your paper gift card.
  6. Enter the access code for the gift card when prompted.
  7. The amount due will decrease by the value of the card you just scanned.
  8. Repeat steps 4-6 as necessary.
  9. Once your amount due hits $0, you're done, and the receipt will print.
There was a time when the terminal would prompt for an employee to login enter the access code, but a recent POS software update has eliminated that need. I presume the software update has gone to all stores, but YMMV.

ETA, I don't even bother printing the e-gift cards. Instead, I just bring up the eGCs in the photo gallery on my smart phone after I've browsed each eGC and snapped a screenshot in advance.
If using a physical Target GC to pay for stuff, does the access code need to be entered too? Or, is the access code only required for electronic GCs?

The plastic cards have a card and access number. So I would assume you need it to buy something. Just as you needed it to buy the plastic card with the e-gift cards.

The cashier inputs the access on the plastic card also. I think the reasoning is that people were taking photos of the gift card numbers of the gift cards that were on the rack and waited for someone to purchase and load them. Then they would use up all of the card balance before the real purchaser got to use them. By having the access code under the scratch off on the back, the cards are useless unless the thief also scratches the access code. Never buy a plastic card that has been tampered with.

online you can only use 4 gift cards----in store you can use a whole stack of paper to purchase a plastic card (or whatever else you would like to buy).

Sure seems like there a lot of people stressing over how to best use their $5 Target gift cards. Good grief. Just sounds like way too much of a pain in the rear to me. If I am not able to trade my gift cards for Amazon, then I will just purchase stuff online for store pickup. I don't need the aggravation.

No stress to me. I easily put them on a plastic card. Family uses their pharmacy for prescriptions, so will use gift cards for pharmacy as well as other purchases in store.

I am eyeing up the iPhone X at Target. Can I use 214 of the $5.00 gift cards at the self checkout? Ha ha

Can't wait for the Target app update that adds gift cards to the "Wallet".

Noticed I was able to put more than five gift cards on my Walmart account. I have my Savings Catcher card and put nine used cards on my account and it looks like I can still add more.
