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

It says I'm not eligible, too, and I should be. I have not been entering it, though. Looks like it ends March 16.
Huh. Thanks.

So the timberpups are the only NBA team Sprite's doing a Coke promo for? I mean, any other NBA teams doing anything with Sprite?

:mindblown: !

I checked all the rules, I'm eligible, baby!

Yes they do. Have your email handy for the cashier to see the email with the access code that pops up when you hit "get access code" . Each access code gets a separate email sent to your email for the cashier.
Thank you!! What a pain! I wonder why they do that. Yes, really makes it hard if you're in line and have a lot of GC....that's exactly why I asked. I'd rep you but I need to spread the love!

Yes, but only good for use at two stores, Speedway and I think Quickmart? So if you don't have one near don't waste your three codes.
That is correct.

For this offer there are only 2 retail locations participating, Speedway [speedway.com]and QuikTrip [quiktrip.com].

When the mystery offer was still showing in the list, it showed me as completed. However, I have not received a Target card today. Anyone else?

Quote from McReggie :
There could if there weren't a lot of people playing and there was always a backlog of teams to give out. Like the holiday IW game where if people made a new account, they always got the Share a Coke "win" on the first try. And always got the AMC drink coupon on the second. And just about always got the AMC ticket/drink coupon on the third. And that within the first 1015 tries, they got all 5, or however many it was, of the mostly useless prizes. It wasn't that they happened to click Enter right when those prizes' winning times came up. It is that when those came up, no account that needed those prizes clicked the get them yet. So the first one that needed it, got it.

Don't overestimate how many people are still bothering with Coke Rewards after MCR died. Especially with people not knowing about Sip n Scan workarounds. And since everybody could only get each seed one time, the same thing could have happened. If we all randomly got seeds that were fairly evenly distributed, it is no that out of the question that any time we clicked on Enter, that one of the seeds we needed was waiting for us in the backlog.
That's still a big difference from in 16 tries, you "randomly" get all 16 different seeds and not get one duplicate instead. If it was truly random, the odds would astronomical of so many people getting 16 different seeds in their first 16 attempts, yet many of us did. Even if there was a backlog of seeds, you would get the next seed in queue, not the next seed in queue that you don't have yet, unless it wasn't truly random. Like StormRichards said in this thread, "Coke's definition of random is different than the rest of the world's"

I asked a cashier about that when they started asking for access number and she said that "corporate had said people would take pics of the target gc's in store and they would randomly try them online to see if they had value and would use them so to make it safer they ask for access number".

Yup. The best part is the MCR thread was faster then coke sending me an email telling me to claim my offer.

I guess that makes sense, but I wonder how they avoid that problem at other stores. Hmm...

Yeah the second one I asked at another location said because of scams,

By the way has anyone combined their gc's into just one gc in store? I have a few from Microsoft rewards and then from coke that would make it easier just to have all in one.

I don't know if they're all the same, but I have Target gift cards that I had mailed to me, where the card number and access number were exposed, they never had to be scratched off.

I haven't done it but I've had cashiers suggest if I had more it sure would be nice of me to put them all on one card. LOL I love the fact that I have been able to purchase restaurant gift cards with these ecards. The self check out at Walmart always declined my purchasing restaurant cards with their ecards.
