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

No, I didn't get a free code. If I did, I would try it on different offers until it worked on one. Enter a sweepstakes or something. Make sure you aren't copy/pasting a space. Also try typing it (not copy/paste). I recall that helping some issue recently.
Quote from pamfenway :
I don't know where you got that idea. I never got any free code last month.
My guess is you did. It was emailed and has been mentioned right on the front of the Rewards page for over a month.

Quote from mdyoung :
All this over one code. OTHB77R7NBHL PM me and I'll give you the missing letters/numbers.
All what exactly? Asking for some help? I guess since I don't have 15 accounts and don't post about what I won I should know better than to post here. Believe me I learned my lesson.

Quote from mdyoung :
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Well then, thanks for the non help.

I wasn't directing that at you specifically, but not like you won something and couldn't figure out have to redeem it. It's one code, and I offered to give you one.

I am curious if anyone else is having problems with the Captchas over the last few days. For three days I have been unable to participate in many of the AMOE contests because I get the following:

I have the issue from two computers, a tablet and smartphone at home as well as two different computers at my work. I have tried four different browsers, incognito tabs and purging all temp files/cookies from the different browsers. Occasionally I would have issues like this at home, but my office would be fine so not sure what I have done to offend the contest gods.
I've seen that when using Tor Browser, I assumed that it was because too many people using the same IP address to access the Captchas. If you are using a shared internet connection, that may be the problem. If you can, you might want to change your IP address and clear out your cookies/temp files again before trying again.

Not everyone gets the same offers and rewards, there are plenty of invitation only offers as well as location based offers.

Quote from Ihateec :
Disney has this, but there was no way I was taking lids off recycling bins to scrounge around to get caps. I've been to minor league ball parks who only sell coke, and people leave their bottles all over the place in the seats. After a game I have no problem picking em up & taking the caps off but I draw the line at removing pail lids in a public place laugh out loud
The trick is you get the annual pass then go specifically to get the caps. Bring a large backpack or something. Disney is definitely a nice place due to how many people go there but the annual pass is too expensive. I know there are some parks that have cheap annual passes which makes it worthwhile. It is more of just a little side hustle if you want a few extra grand per year and are willing to work for it. For disney specifically, there are also the little shopping districts (no ticket required) but I have found those to be less lucrative. Most people there are just buying fountain drinks at the restaurants and most of the little vending booths don't sell bottle coke.

Also the interesting thing is some of these places are actually mapped on street view so you can literally map out the entire park's recycling bins then move from bin to bin most efficiently.

I appreciate the thoughts, but I wasn't looking for troubleshooting. I am more curious to see if the Captchas may be getting more stringently monitored rather than looking for someone to try and solve the issue for me. I am aware of the likely causes/solutions for this issue, but it is odd to see it occurring on a sizable number of different computers on a variety of ISPs so was looking to see if others were seeing a similar issue lately.

Since I must not have been clear in my original post, I will restate what I have done. I have used multiple ISPs - home, work, cellular - which should have addressed the shared IP issue. In fact my office computer is a direct IP to the Internet unlike most homes or offices that use NAT technology to share a connection. I have used five different desktop/tablet browsers & three smartphone browsers with no change. I cleared the temp files and cookies in each browser on each device. I also tried Incognito tabs in a couple browsers with no change. I rarely try Captchas at work so it is a surprise to see the system blocked with this error there. It is also very odd that the block occurs with the very first Captcha as opposed to happening after cycling through a few.

So hopefully this clears up what I have done and am looking for. Are there others that are seeing Captcha blocking in the past few days?

Hoping not to jinx myself, I have actually found the Captchas easier to use lately. About 70% of the time, I don't even have to pick from the pictures to get it to move along.

Having said that, I should also clarify that I only play for up to 10 accounts spanning two different households. I expect that means I'm playing a lot less than you are.

You have WAY more accounts than me. Grin I only have two household accounts as I have to work a bit to find enough time and codes for two accounts even in the new program. I try to maximize what I get from these two accounts, but have never created any more than them. Prior to the past few days the Captchas had been working much easier for me as well. I have access to a number of computers at work so for the past few days I have used a different systems for all of the Captcha contests - even a couple non-Coke ones. Very odd...

I have to agree that the time I spend at an amusement park is much better used enjoying it then worrying about digging through the trash.
We all have our limits. I remember a poster here who went to I think it was Daytona or Indy years ago, and he said it was Coke caps everywhere like manna from heaven, just lying there waiting to be picked up.

I haven't done stadium pickup lately, but you have to be fast before the ushers say "You have to go now" and chase you out.

I admit though, I probably wouldn't spend money to go to Disney or even burn a Coke-won Cedar Fair ticket just to nab caps, but picking up a few here or there, nothing wrong with that.

I went to my state fair a few years ago and got a couple hundred caps by lifting those huge bottle-shaped tops off recycling containers to nab caps. Only a few of them were already cleaned out by other MCR fans. But I also looked the part by wearing light sunglasses, floppy hat, and a neon yellow running shirt, to look the part of maintenance. But I was going solo that year. Also, it's dark looking inside those things, and sunglasses can't be too dark. Those bottle-shaped recycling tops are also not easy to take off from the tubs!
