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.)

The promotions continue:

Check the +one app for promos

Site: https://us.coca-cola.com/plusone

Scroll to the 2nd Wiki for Coke AMOE links!

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?- 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 Lemonade, Pibb, Sprite, Seagram's, Tab. (Powerade & Zero & Minute Maid Juices in the big black caps no longer have UTC codes.)

- 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

Ughh, the Coke Studio instant wins seem much fewer and far between this year. Or maybe I was just luckier last summer.

Anyone here won yet on a Summer Music Sweepstakes spin?

Didn't they do away with the 'unlink' thing? Noticed about a week or two ago that it took me right to the play after logging in. Is it just me?

Yes, won a $150 Coke code, Yeti Rambler 20 oz cup, a pair of wireless cans and $30 Coke code. All early on between 3 accounts. Haven't played much lately because to busy working on house. Had similar results in the Albertsons' game

Thanks for the update Jimmy. Very interesting that they "might" still have donations! I'd hate to find out cap codes would still be useable as I know someone that threw away 1500-1600 caps(guessing) 6 large zip bags full the day after they expired not being able to get them all in with me helping!

Maybe some new product code type scan in the works via mobile on https://us.coca-cola.com/plusone(?) not sip n scan since it has seemed to have phased out unless it makes a return with limited donations per day scanning it's I guess I'd call it QR.(?)
Thx for the info. I checked that out on my phone and scrolled to below it and there was a place to sign up for updates. In case others missed it as I had. I don't know if that is new or I just never saw it or paid attn to it before. I went ahead and signed up. Wave

Ty, we went to SB and tried the wifi Kevin had mentioned trying but with the same results. It let me log in asking for my ph # and pw and verify code then once there the icon top right was black still and the page was just content no entry areas nothing still. Idk what to make of it. That page is also supposed to show your sweeps entries and that isn't there either, I realized today. I was so focused on the 2 entry areas I forgot the sweeps count.Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I hope not but who knows. I have a couple of older phones that barely work for anything online like basic searches and Coke but I have cheaper but newer Samsung tablet that reads as mobile on their site and I won an iphone 12 last month on Twitter which works great.

I did an inquiry about a promo for Prime Day with Amazon the other day and to speak to customer service the would not use my land line as a call back anymore like in the past and made me go though an older linked phone I can not really use the web on, so I had to type the url on PC from the phone just to verify my account! Mad

I'm sorry retail store doctors offices and etc just because I have a cell on file i do not have that thing glued to my ear! laugh out loud

No wins here or next door. Plus the Summer promo I've been entering that one from the start hoping for an instant win and nothing but grand prize entries which imho after looking online the ARV is inflated by $400-500 from what I have can tell.

Lately it has been going right through most of the time for my family except if someone uses FF. FF seems to trigger the verify phone for some reason. Chrome and Edge on PC or tablet usually signs us right in. I thought great here goes the botters!

sodaKING's post and Dlucks, your reply caught my eye so I wanted to ask you all. re the "unlink" you all were talking about. What is that? It sounds like part of my problem.
At times I get the page to put in my email and pw and other times nothing it just stays on the page with the icon head upper right, but never changes to another page and stays dithered black. I only use Chrome or Safari typically, but when trying to get it to work over the past few days I tried FF once and my hubs Edge once on his pc. He still has no issue logging in BUT also does at times whether by pc or ph get the email/pw sign-in page and other times not. I've seen ppl mention unlink in prior coke sweeps and then above but didn't know what it's all about and why it may be affecting me? Thx for any insight. I am hoping I hear back with something more than a canned reply from Coke tomorrow. as that is when they said they would be getting back to me initially.Wave

Just one win. Chose ear buds. Was shocked I won. It has been bad. I miss those Cedar Fair and Nascar tickets from 2015-19 era. I guess the virus changed things.

UNLINK is unlinking your SMS number from the account. I have never seen what your describing before, that is a new issue as far as I know.

To unlink you have to text UNLINK to 2653 but to re-link you have to type LINK via your SMS phone.

Go to "My Account" phone number section under SMS put in your cell number which in my previous experience and after changing to a new phone carrier number recently you might need/want to be logged in at the same time on C0KE-com first to get it to link setup via SMS verify number, type in the cell number there and be on your phone at the same time to unlink/link unless using a phone number app that you can access your phone messages and C0KE-com at the same time..

Quote :
Page via clicking the SMS icon in My Account next to the phone number:


Phone Number (SMS) Communication
You can receive SMS text messages and phone calls from The Coca‑Cola Company by linking your mobile number to your Coca‑Cola account.

To manage your linked SMS number, simply text the following keywords to COKE (2653):
"UNLINK"

Removes your linked phone number and all subscriptions. You will no longer receive text messages or phone calls from us.
"LINK"

Triggers a text message with instructions for how to link your number to your Coca‑Cola account.

Thinking again about this issue I wonder if it could be an ISP issue since you are seeing this problem on multiple devices unless you are using your phone's internet sometimes to play instead of wifi. (?) If your using your phone internet not wifi on it and getting it on both with your ISP service too may be account problem. Or you may need to check for browser updates which you may do. I am baffled never encountered that issue via android and iphone, ipad\samsung android tablets or PC.

EEK!, That's complicated and I've never done or tried that. Ty for the info though. Wave
Well, I was to hear by today's end and I did not receive an email from Coke. Now I wonder if that short email reply the same day where the guy asked me to create another coke and email acct. was the extent of their reply. I will call again tomorrow. I tried to play Smartwater last night and it also would not let me in, no pg asking for an email and pw at all after numerous trys. Lat night I was entering my sp contests and all worked fine so I figured he has edge let me try that. It did ask for my email and pw then took me to a completely blank white page. That has happened a few times before since this fiasco started but I don't recall which browser or was any incognito that it happened on. It only was a couple but now that makes 3 blank white pages as part of the rest doing nothing just staying on the coke studio or Smartwater pg last night. I'm not worried about trying to win on the 2 sites BUT i do want to get my acct working for future sweeps. It is just asinine, therefore frustrating. Thank you all for your help, I appreciate it! nod Peace

I hear you on being frustrated with promos. I know it's OT, but last year I've had a similar experience with the Starbucks game. After exploring the situation I discovered a work around. Basically using a IPhone you went into settings and scrolled down to Safari, scrolled down to request desktop website and enabled it and then went to Advanced and then website data and cleared everything… guess what it worked! We lost a lot of game play days, but at least we got it to work right. So maybe you can find a workaround like that? Of course talking about mobile.

Lol, I don't know how you all come up with ways to try to fix these company snafus or whatever the heck it is they are doing. I will try that tip tomorrow, cuz my eyes glazed over 1/4 way into reading the steps.laugh out loud
Can't hurt to try anyway and I appreciate the help. hug to you all for the help Wave

I'm a nurse and so I like to try to figure out what's going on when ppl came to the ER. Sooo it bothers me not knowing the whys and it baffles me because it's not as if I had been cheating (wouldn't know how to anyway), so there's no reason for them to be blocking me or whatever the heck they are doing. The only slightly similar thing that happened was last year when on the 1st day I somehow won the Yeti red cooler 1st play. The rules said we were allowed to keep playing and win one only from each tier, I think there were 2 other tiers. Anyway, never again could I enter the sweepstake! I asked here on the boards if others had that issue and I asked Coke. Tuffy said she did also and then as time went on so did others. So none of us could play again after winning something. Coke told me they didn't know why and that was it no further we'll check into it nada, zip, nothing. But that was the only time I was blocked from entering but that was completely blocked no sign-in with my email and pw step ever.

Thanks again. I will try your tip tomorrow. worship you guys!

I remember several even recent(past couple of years) C0KE-com contests blocking me out after a win though the rules said 1 prize of each tier.

About 4 or so years back I won an instant prize $500 VISA on a CF Football C0KE contest and they had an exact type NFL one going too. I was still playing the NFL after the CF prize was won.

I won a drink one day, later on as you could supposedly win from another tier. I played another day on the NFL, no sorry you've exceeded your win limit when trying, playing in the evening at near the same time as the CF $500 win, I got a $500 VISA winning screen for that site too.nod

It pops up a $500 VISA win, I start to proceed with my win clicking my address confirm info and got a "Sorry You Lost" screen(took a screen shot of both the win and lose pages).

Called C0KE emailed HW and both said since I won the drink on it already "one prize per person" cheating me out of another BIG win when I even pointed out the rules about one of each type of prize, they said no one per person bending their own rules. Thankfully I had won a $500 through the CF already and if not I'd be getting kicked off the C0KE site! Mad

I think sometimes it is just bad programming and/or administrating and they defend it.Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I tried paying a ConEd residential electricity bill w/ the recently-sent $150 rewards card, and got a message from ConEd's payment processor that it was a "commercial card" that couldn't be used for residential payments, and to use the commercial payments link on the ConEd website. I haven't followed up. Anybody else get something similar?

Quote from magnest :
I tried paying a ConEd residential electricity bill w/ the recently-sent $150 rewards card, and got a message from ConEd's payment processor that it was a "commercial card" that couldn't be used for residential payments, and to use the commercial payments link on the ConEd website. I haven't followed up. Anybody else get something similar?
I tried to pay my Spectrum Internet bill with mine, and it was declined. I called the customer service number on the back of the card, and was informed that Visa gift cards can't be used for any "recurring" bills. He confirmed it couldn't be used for ANY utility bills, or subcriptions like Netflix.

So far I have only used it at RiteAid, and it wouldn't go through there until we chose "credit" instead of "debit". I was offered the option to get up tp $40 cash back. Thinking back, I should have taken it. These cards are a pain to use,

I was able to use my entire $150 card to pay my city water/sewage/garbage bill and end up with a credit. Each city has its own system, so who knows where else it will work but it's worth a try.

I've also had success using my city bill to drain cards when I get smaller denomination (e.g., $15) prepaid VISA or MC cards. I just select the total amount of the card, even if it's lower than my actual bill, select pay, and it goes through.
