Can't believe that I was lucky enough to discover this contest the day it started. If I keep earning max free tickets every day, I should have a fighting chance of being able to ACTUALLY claim 1+ of the limited prizes in the rewards store.
Unlike the setup/claiming of the rewards (non Instant Win prizes) in the Dorito's Batman Vs Superman contest, this contest eliminates the possibility of only the biggest cheaters & vultures being able to claim all of the free reward prizes in record time --because-- the promo codes (for bonus tickets) are located UNDER the label/packaging & therefore requires a purchase in order to obtain/gain the 50 tickets earned (from each product code).
I have a really strong feeling that when it comes time to redeem for prizes in the rewards store, this contest is going to be a second coming of everyone's favorite contest of all time: MIMC. Internet connections that are quickest on the gun will determine who gets to claim a prize (shortly after midnight) & who gets nothing more than a "All Gone" screen. <----Cue misguided & irrational raging at customer support.
Playing the activities, how many points can you get a day?
How many points do you get for each code?
