This is the new MCR contests/giveaways thread. There are going to be a few new rules starting with this iteration of the thread. Nothing too drastic, I hope, and I hope that this helps to alleviate some of the concerns that have been expressed by quite a few users. We're not etched in stone here, and we can adapt as necessary, but I think this will be a good start.
First and foremost, as you can see this thread is now in the Lounge. Click here to stick this thread to the top. To unstick it, simply click on the 'Thread Tools' link in the upper right of this thread, and select the option to unstick the thread.
Now, on to the rules:

First and foremost, as you can see this thread is now in the Lounge. Click here to stick this thread to the top. To unstick it, simply click on the 'Thread Tools' link in the upper right of this thread, and select the option to unstick the thread.
Now, on to the rules:
1). While off topic posts will be allowed, please try to keep conversations related to the MCR program. This is the Lounge, and there are plenty of places for all kinds of off topic posts.Rules are subject to change with or without notice, on a whim, or with discussion.
2). The Barter Thread is still in Deal Talk. For trading MCR codes with any other codes (either MCR or TYS or otherwise), please confine trades to the appropriate thread. This is not so much to keep this thread clean as to provide a place where feedback of users who have traded and bartering info/partners can be found more easily. That kind of info can easily be lost in this fast paced thread, especially once an iteration or two have gone by.
3). The strictly on-topic MCR Discussion Thread will remain in Deal Talk for the time being.
4). Due to server loading issues, once the thread reaches 10,000 posts it will be restarted with this OP and the thread Wiki. A link to the new thread will be in the last post of this thread so that you can still visit it for archival purposes.
5). In an effort to cut down on what has been identified as the most irritating of contests, for the time being there will be a moratorium on the "guess" type contests. Contests that involve some kind of skill or researching are fine, but contests that are purely speculative in nature will not be allowed for the time being. A couple examples include "Guess what I had for lunch today," or "Guess the year make and model of my first car."
6). Have fun. Seriously. If this thread wasn't fun, it wouldn't be so popular. So have fun.

My Coke Rewards (MCR) FAQ:
- How can I contact them?
Trading Etiquette 101
- Why do people trade caps for flaps?
Big List of Smilies (looks like people use it a lot in the thread)
why trade caps for flaps and vice versa?
Some people can only enter in a few codes a day (some even less), so it makes sense for them to trade away their flaps so that they'll maximize their... umm... pointage (15 points in caps is better than a single 10-point flap).
For the other people, who have caps to spare and can enter in 10 caps a day every day, it makes sense to them to, again, maximize their pointage, by entering in 10-point flaps instead of 3-point caps.
If the trade ratio isn't too one-sided, both parties benefit greatly from trading this way.

Little known fact (only verified for 15-digit codes): MCR Code consists of 3 groups of 5 symbols (obvious.) Name these groups A (Top Group), B (Center Group) and C (Bottom Group.) These groups can be entered ABC (which is what people usually do,) or CBA. The other four combinations (ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB) do not work and will come up as invalid.- Is there a faster way to enter codes?
Try the Yahoo! MCR Code Widget. Find the widget download by clicking on the "take a tour" link on the MCR homepage and then in the lower left corner look for "Quick Entry Widget" or try this link...Yahoo!

Trading Etiquette 101
- Why do people trade caps for flaps?
Maximum of 10 codes can be entered per day staring at noon EST. Those with an abundance of caps (worth 3 points) trade for flaps (worth 10 points) so they can get 100 points a day as opposed to 30.
(Trade at your own risk. Please PM them if you'd like to trade)

Coke Phase II Songs from cnct_agl]
A "sad song" for VG
oops they did it again
Coke is so "bad to the bone"
and the songs began again with "Chain Gang" by the Nylons
One last song to round out my fatigue inspired Coke songs based on: "I'd like to buy the World a Coke"
Coke, "I ain't missing you"
The Coke song insanity continued today with "Home"
and "we are the champions"
last night's insanity ended with a little "desire"
if you think that's crazy, check out "crazy"
and don't miss "satisfaction" - after all, mick and "Coke" do kinda go together
plus the sleep deprived hit that started it all "wishing and hoping"

I just found out that I won!..Had a tornado come through Sunday and tear up the town so I had no internet connection. Going through my emails just now and came upon this!!
We're happy to let you know you're a winner in the Coca-Cola® 2014 FIFA World Cup™! You've won a trip for two (2) to the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, which has an approximate retail value of $30,786. Congratulations!
1. How are your home, family, and friends?
2. MCR generally allows five or so days to file the winner's form. Do you have enough time left?

Today was the last day to claim the prize. I claimed it earlier today. This one only had 2 days to claim it in.

Oh, augustina, thank goodness you're okay and your house is intact. The people around here were literally terrified for weeks after that until tornado season finally seemed over. People started becoming proactive, and Dallas and the surrounding counties here in North Texas started a program in 2013 through FEMA to get storm shelters installed here. Determined not to ever have to hunker down again in my stoooooopid bathtub, we had a storm shelter installed through that FEMA program last year. It's 10-12 inches of solid concrete on the sides and 2 feet on top and goes 8 feet underground. It's got a bed and small bar table and chairs and stocked with all the necessities. like a Hobbit hole. So I named it Middle Earth, and if there's ever another one of those things even remotely headed in my direction, just call me Bilbo.
Congratulations again on your big win! That is so awesome for you! I bet you are just a bundle of emotions right about now. Let us know if there's anything you need.
Also, an update on the 1st trade: the 1st user has sent me replacement codes which I was going to test after maxing out on double points this week. Which I can't do now. I am beyond angry at this 2nd user especially because of what they did after learning of my 1st trade that went bad and knowing they had screwed me over too. Sorry for venting here, but I felt people here should know.
EDIT: The 2nd user who screwed me over posts here a lot and is a trader with multiple positive recommendations.

Dang Chase so sorry for ya. I do not understand why it is so hard for someone to write a T on a cap and write trade across a flap. This is what I do and hold them until the person i traded with comes back and tells me they all worked. I want to make sure i have them incase i mistyped them up. This is just horrible for you. Wish I had some extras to throw your way.

One or two flaps is one thing. But we are talking about 20+ flap codes here (I got locked out after 20 so I can't check the other ones yet). This trade happened months ago, and I checked the flaps multiple times after the trade several weeks after so I don't think this was an accident. And I haven't named anyone so I haven't stoned anyone yet. I just felt some people could learn or take something away from my experience here on SD.

Let in be known I'm the trader that this guy is trashing and anyone who knows me knows I would never ever do this I think this guy has issues with how he is keeping track of the points he entered and the only reason I didn't answer his numerous texts this morning is because I'm at the casino because today is my freaking birthday , let it be known that I do 100's of trades and I would never ruin my reputation by using the codes I sent in a trade and to
Make matters worse when this guy posted about the 15 codes he had a problem with another user in a trade a couple days ago I PM him 15 codes . I'm letting everyone know he is talking about me and he is wrong

1) Wait until you hear from trader #2. If s/he is a good trader and values his/her reputation, s/he will want to make it right. I think there are two things that could have resulted in the flaps being redeemed (not by you)...first, if trader #2 is disorganized, s/he could have inadvertently redeemed the codes or traded them to someone else, not realizing s/he had traded them to you...second, after sending you the codes, trader #2 could have put the flaps in the recycle bin. Then Jimmy (or someone like Jimmy) comes along on his harvesting route, and thinks he hit the jackpot when he finds 20 Diet Coke flaps in the recycle bin. Both of these scenarios are the result of trader #2 not managing his/her flap inventory well, but neither one is nefarious.
2) If you are trading for codes that you do not plan on using for a while, let the other trader know and ask him/her to either label (e.g., traded to Chase75 in Feb. 2014) and set aside the codes -or- to destroy the codes, preferably in a high intensity fire. Request that the codes not simply be thrown away or placed in the recycle bin, because they might be found/redeemed by someone else. This has always worked for me.

I also think it's weird that he said he checked the flaps I sent him and they where valid and now they are not how exactly did he check
Them without entering them he is now sending me messages saying If I don't make it right
He is going to go public well chase75 my name is gizmo28244 I traded with chase75 and I did not screw him over he is just wrong . And like I said to
Make his post even worse he is complaining about 20 codes and earlier when he complained about another user I sent
Him 15 because I felt sorry for him nice how he never mentioned that
