-~~* My Coke Rewards *~~- Outdated Information & Chat Thread - Keep On Topic Posts Limited!

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:
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.

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. Smilie

My Coke Rewards (MCR) FAQ:

- How can I contact them?
Phone: 1-866-776-6610
email address: [email protected]
Ask Hank feature on the MCR site -- several are reporting errors when trying to use this function: If you receive an error, edit your email, and remove all question marks, quotation marks, semicolons, colons, and symbols, basically anything that is not a letter, number, period, or comma. (I didn't say it makes sense, but strangely, I have had much success after doing this.)
- When does the promotion end?
Per http://www.mycokerewards.com/MCRRules.do:

Codes may be entered beginning at 12:00 a.m. ET on January 1, 2014 until 11:59 p.m. ET on November 30, 2014 (the "Collection Period"), and participants will be able to redeem points at any time during the Redemption Period as set forth in Section G below.

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! MCR Code Entry Widget
MCR for MCR trades: Users who trade their caps for your flaps (usually 5:1 rate)

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"

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.

I've been waiting since right before Christmas for the Movie/TV sections of Reward Digital to use my BoJ credit I won(and was so nicely given by a certain SD member) but it's still showing "Movies are not available at the moment - Please be patient. We're very sorry for the inconvenience.. Hopefully it will be available again. IDK what the deal is with that but I'm not spending it on books or music. lol Frown

Quote from mdyoung :
I think more stores have gone to the buy one or two 12-packs and get one free type sales, because the Savings Catcher doesn't match those.
In my area, we didn't have any decent sales in January last year either. IT wasn't until March that I was able to use most of mine. I think the January thing is because of Pepsi and the Superbowl. They (Pepsi) spent a lot of money for that deal, so they want to maximize their investment by really pushing their product the whole playoffs. Meanwhile, Coke figures it isn't worth going up against them this month since Pepsi can use all the NFL and Superbowl logos and Coke can't. So they just sit back and wait. Once March Madness rolls around, there will be some more Coke deals. Last year I used something like 12 coupons in the last week of March when the store near me that allows overages with coupons had them for 5 for $12, giving me $2.59 extra on each.

Keep in mind that we were also able to match with CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, etc. last year. So it makes the lack of sales to use for Savings Catcher seem even worse compared to last year.

I'd love it if the stores near me did B1G1 sales. Screw Savings Catcher at that point. I'd go for the extra 12 packs. I missed out on last week's Family Dollar because they were always out of Coke. But it isn't as if other stores are doing those because of Savings Catcher. Other stores couldn't care less what Walmart does.

I think someone said in last year's thread that there was some other site that took those digital rewards coupons and they had movies. I have no idea what it was so you'd have to go back and go through all the posts from about December 10th or so on to find it, but I definitely remember being relieved that there was still some site I could use them on.

I think the issue with the one site is they got bought in early December and the new company either isn't planning on licensing movies and TV shows, or hasn't worked out a deal yet.

Viggle is the parent company of this program. It is transitioning to a new company sometime next month. So hopefully then we will see what they do.

It used to cost 2500 Viggle Points for a song. Now its something like 25,000. They keep saying to wait for the merger with Perks but I'm not hopeful, even though I'm sitting on a handful of these things.

EEK! OMG I just saw that. That is crazy. Yeah I am not expecting much from this merger to perks either. If one song costs that much I doubt one will get a lot of perk points.

So I was able to fleece my local store for basically full value of the coupon which included deposit and tax for about 10 transactions and now I'm a bad person because I was informed I have to pay tax plus deposit. So my question is who currently is paying for tax and deposit over the advertised amount? ?

So I was able to fleece my local store for basically full value of the coupon which included deposit and tax for about 10 transactions and now I'm a bad person because I was informed I have to pay tax plus deposit. So my question is who currently is paying for tax and deposit over the advertised amount? ?

I think pretty much EVERYBODY is paying bottle deposit usually. That is absolutely not supposed to be taken off because you get that back. You're not fleecing the local store. They get back the full amount that they write on the coupon. IT is Coke that is getting screwed. Coke has nothing to do with that deposit, so they sure as hell don't want to be reimbursing the store for it. Again...chances are VERY low that the store will get in trouble, especially if their regular price for 12 packs is more than $4.99. But stores are not supposed to do it. It is technically fraud on their part.


Ironically, I actually just got the deposit paid for with my coupons at CVS of all places! I definitely wasn't supposed to but the cashier didn't know how to do it and when I said something, he didn't care. I didn't get the full $4.99 off (but I didn't get anything else to apply it to anyway) but he did ring the coupon up for $4.27 instead of $3.67 to take off the bottle deposit.

$1.20 is not a huge amount extra, but combined with the $5 off $15 coupon I had that I used to buy 4 Dr. Peppers for $9.33 the other day, I got the extra $1.20 with these, and I only had to use 4 of my Coke coupons to get the $10 Extra Bucks back this week. And now I have enough Cokes to tide me over until I can get a decent Savings Catcher deal, hopefully.

Some states charge a deposit (fee) or a redemption value (fee). In California, after that "fee", you have to pay the tax on the total purchase which includes those "fees". When you redeem your containers, you get your deposit (fees) or redemption values (fees) returned to you. You do not get the taxes you paid on those container "fees" back. That's just how it works with taxes. That's the price we pay for living in this great country! I guess you make up for those taxes with all of the great swag you receive from the MCR catalog which you don't have to pay taxes on in most cases.
