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

Yep. Tried that. No good. I got this message again:

Wendy's needs to stop encouraging that try hard person running their Twitter account and fix this glaring flaw in their app. If the limit is $100 per account then we should all be able to add additional $5 credits. I'm not going to make 5 accounts to use all my credits.

It isn't Wendy's that is doing it. IT is just that this is what many of us had feared. The reward was not simply a gift card. IT is similar to the free Coke or Big Gulp It isn't worth anything until it gets put on a phone, and it is designed to only allow one. It is more like a coupon than a gift card. If you had real gift cards, I'm sure it would allow you to enter more than one.

This is another example of Coke giving up trying to prevent multiple account abuse and instead, just designing their rewards to take advantage of it. By doing this, Coke, or whoever was sponsoring the Wendy's giveaway, just saved $5 per every multiple account someone has. It is $5 that they don't have to give away now. It is actually smart, if a little lazy. There are other ways to prevent multiple accounts, but this is not only easier to Coke, but it works out much more in their favor.

Workaround for me. Make 2 wendy's accounts laugh out loud

Edit: I called customer service. Not sure if they are right or not but she told me 1 per an account even if you have multiple.
And customer service told me that the online ordering is in test. Said was told would go national but no date info.

A lousy five bucks and cant spend it. The double %*YT%$. Coke and friends did well.

So you try and put one on your account and hope that one day Wendy's will let it go national and then MAYBE you can use it.... sigh oh coke, coke, coke, coke.


This was a let down I must say...

And we thought the Burger King e-gift card from a few years back was hard to use because the cashiers didn't know how to process them. At least once you trained the cashiers, you didn't need a smartphone to redeem.

I hate not getting paid to train the cashiers ... Panda Express cashier girl asked me how to ring something up the other day ... I looked at her like she had lost her mind and I called the manager over ... the idea that they don't know how to ring something up from their limited menu board is crazy

Do you have to respond to the txt message with your zip code to get the big gulp?
nope. It just sends you a link and then you click it and it redirects you to a page that has the coupon. Once you hit tap to redeem you have 15 minutes to use it.

Did you get a coupon for a Powerade Lime Green Big Gulp? That seemed oddly specific.

My favorite is that stores hire cashiers (40+ years old, not just the 17 year olds) and they have never seen or used a coupon in their life! You hand them coupons and you get the deer in a headlight look, or if you buy multiples of one item and give them equal number of coupons, they read the "one coupon per item" and interpret it to mean one coupon per order....SMH

Uggghhhhh thankfully Coke started putting on their coupons 4 coupons per order, so at least it can be pointed out to them

Congratulations at last! Did they end up mailing it to you or did they send it via email?

It was emailed to me. Ridiculous how long it took for them to hit the send button!
