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

There DOES sort of seem to be a workaround to the Wendy's limit. You would still only be able to use $5 at a time, but you can log into your Wendy's app with any e-mail. It doesn't have to be linked to your phone. So you can just redeem multiple rewards form Coke, add them to multiple e-mails, which should beat the expiration date of the code so the $5 will never expire, and then when you use one up, log out and log in with a new address. IT doesn't evne appear that you have to uninstall/reinstall the app to do this. You can just log out.

The 5 minute limit on the payment is obnoxious. It just forces people to use cell data since they don't have WiFi, at least in the two locations around me. There really isn't any good reason to have that code expire in such a short time. There is a WiFi hotspot just across the street from one..but I wouldn't be able to use it without turning cell data on, which I pay for. IT wouldn't be $5 worth of data, but it's the principle of the thing. Plus the fact that it expects me to give it my location, which they have absolutely no valid use for since it isn't like some stores that have curbside pickup of your order and they use your location to determine when you are close. You can deny giving it your location, but again, it is the principle of the thing. The want to track you. And my privacy is worth more than $5.

Did you get a coupon for a Powerade Lime Green Big Gulp? That seemed oddly specific.
Yes and I tried it on that flavor. Absolutely horrible taste. I ended up getting a coke instead and it worked. The cashiers don't care what you put in it.

Sorry if this has been addressed, but just an FYI Speedway text coupons that we are getting from the Bracket refresh game not only have to be claimed by 4/2, but also have to be redeemed. by 4/2 as well. I don't know 7-11 or QT, just getting Speedway.

If you are on WiFi within 5 minutes you can take a screen shot of the code and show them. I dont have a lot of data either but on I get Xfinity wifi a lot and this works for me.

Is the Coke product a bottle of soda or a fountain drink? I only want to redeem the Coke prize if I can get a cap, otherwise I'm ditching the rewards.

Now that we can't get plastic gift cards with the Target, does anyone know if the limit is still 9 at self checkout before the cashier has to come over if we are buying regular items? I have 6 from all the various ones and a friend is offering to sell me 6 more for $25. So would I be able to use 9 without dealing with anyone?
I have been purchasing plastic gift cards with the Target ecards. The catch is DON'T go through the cashier's line. It only works at the self check out. No cashier has had to come over and help us because we use more than 9 at one time.

Went to buy some Cokes today at Target, everything but regular coke was in stock. They did have six-pack bottles and minis. Would have went to Walmart for Savings Catcher, but I have the Target gift cards to spend.

Sucks about the Wendy's code. Plus only five minutes to use it? It'll probably take that long for the cashier to figure it out. But I see it refreshes in five minutes. App was confusing at first, but the first page has "Use mobile pay" option. Seems like you can also donate to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption if you have some credits left.

So one has five minutes to use it but it might refresh and if not take a screenshot of the code?

Also does one have to use the full $5. This really turned out to be a disappointing prize I must say.

Just for clarity - you don't have to make a mobile order to use the $5 loaded to a Wendy's account. Mobile pay is different than mobile ordering. I believe a few folks thought that they could only use the $5 Wendy's win on a mobile order, but in reality you can select mobile pay in the app and a code is given that the cashier enters for the payment. It is tough to know if the cashiers will know how to enter the code but at least you can generate a new 5 minute code if it takes them too long to figure it out.


Now the trick is do I have to add a second payment method to the Wendy's account if my transaction is more than $5? It would be a real hassle for everything to grind to a halt because I order $5.85 and cannot pay the 85 cents manually. Guess I will find out when I redeem!
