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

So you were able to get other gift cards with the Target eGift Cards from Coke this week ?
My Target ecards were from the other Coke promotion but yes I use ecards at the self check out. I learned the hard way NOT to involve store personnel.

when did you last buy plastic gift cards with the Target ecards?
I bought a Chili's gift card last week. So far I have bought 2 Chili's, 1 Olive Garden and one Trac Phone minutes card. The Trac Phone charged me 4.95 fee and a .40 activation fee. Like I have said before, go through the self check out line and don't get help from a manager or they will tell you Target doesn't let you use ecards to purchase plastic cards.

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.
Looks like the code they give is only valid for five minutes, then gives a new one.
Not sure about using the full $5, but they do have their 4 for $4 meals which will probably leaves $0.60 or so left.

Have you tried purchasing a gift card after last Wednesday? It appears a mid-week POS system software update disabled the ability to purchase gift cards with Target gift cards, even at self checkout.

You can read up on the problems that some of us experienced in the chat thread starting around this post.

I have Amazon Prime for 2 day free shipping on most items, but the biggest thing that would keep me from buying from Target even if they had free shipping on everything is that they have nowhere near the variety items for sale that Amazon has. I can go on Amazon and buy a complete exhaust system and Target has one brand of wiper blades.
I've shopped at Target for decades since my first pair of glasses long ago, they're everywhere here. And I don't expect to find everything there. I only started using Amazon lately because of the Coke gift cards we got. Whatever you're comfortable with, but I'll never turn down Target or Amazon gift cards. Staples are always good at Target.

I'll go and try tomorrow and let you know. What a shame if they did disable it !!!! My husband really enjoyed the free restaurant cards.

When I tried using my Target giftcards to buy a larger Target giftcard it prompted an employee to come to the self checkout line. They entered their code and tried to help me at self checkout but the system would not let the transaction go through. I also tried to purchase a Netflix card at self checkout and got all the same prompts and block from the system itself.

The employees who were really no help were the customer service, who were clueless. But the egiftcards did work to purchase regular items at self checkout.

Quite frankly Target policy or their employee training is all over the place. Just weeks ago I purschased a gift card of Netflix with a plastic Target giftcard. One employee told me that has never been allowed. Then I went to the electronics section where they have all the giftcards and the employee said sure, tried to use the 5 Coke egiftcards and it wouldn't work and said it works all the time with a plastic Target card or the Target app. So like I said they're all over the place.

This was similar to Gamestop around the holidays a few years ago where some stores swore they couldn't use Giftcards to purchase Giftcards and others simply rung up the purchase. This is yet another reason why Amazon is taking over.

Wish the prizes were better, or easier to redeem. I won't be bothering with them.

"Visa gift card only redeemable at Toys R' Us"
HA!!!!! Excellent!!! Well, I'll just see how many Target giftcards I can convert to cash this weekend in California.
So it occurred to me that Coke writes off the cost of prizes, whether they are redeemed or not. In that case, it is in their best interest to fix it so as few prizes as possible can be redeemed. And you need a smartphone to redeem these 2 prizes. Class action lawsuit? LOL. Never happening.

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.
While mobile ordering isn't national, mobile pay is which is all you need to redeem your promotional $5. Most cashiers don't know how to do it, but a manager will!
