A couple of months ago, I got some Coke Reward points for ordering a pizza. The 20 ounces that came with the pizza also had reward points. I decided that I may as well enter the points and thus it began. I have been collecting points from grabbing sodas from coolers and vending machines here and there. I am now purposefully grabbing Coke products just to get the points. I think that I'll redeem mine for a magazine subscription.

Has anyone else fallen into one of these traps? It's like McD's monopoly game pieces all over again.

the cost outweighs the benefit. you've been had.

7/8/2008 7:55:20 PM

Oh, I know. I tell myself that the only reason I am still doing it is because I've been here at Duke Medical Center for two weeks and to get soda here, you have to buy the 20 oz. with the points.

i got tired of entering the codes so I said screw it

7/8/2008 7:58:48 PM

Nooope, I'm an unfit cokehead.

7/8/2008 7:58:56 PM

soda is bad for you

7/8/2008 8:00:41 PM

women always fall into these marketing traps

7/8/2008 8:03:38 PM

i never buy/drink soda, but i've collected over 2000 points. i get them from other people and sometimes i find them. there isn't a whole lot on there worth collecting for, pepsi points are better imo

7/8/2008 8:10:04 PM

I think I have like 400 points or so, but i already redeemed some to get a tshirt

I can't decide if I want to keep saving up my points or go ahead and get subscription to Parents magazine.

And yes, I am a sucker for this shit. I choose my alcohol at the ABC store according to what comes with it for free.

If you already use Coke products it's nice to get points. But I don't go out of my way to buy Coke products. If I get them though I'll enter codes.

If I were to get into it...I would raid recycling bins on a daily basis.

Fuck the codes

Bring back the simple shit where you looked under the cap

and it was either like "You win the prize !" or "Sorry, try again !"

funneling people to the website generates ad revenue

the days of the under the cap you win/you lose messages are over

7/8/2008 11:21:26 PM

I have over 250 points. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them.

7/8/2008 11:25:56 PM

So you'll be paying sometime like $300 for a magazing subscription. jk

7/8/2008 11:27:49 PM

so far i have gotten a backpack, 2 mag subscriptions, a plush coke bear, and a griddle (awesome)

im moving so im saving up for more mag subscriptions

7/8/2008 11:28:27 PM

I get the codes from my job. We use 12oz Dasani bottles, and I can easily go through 8 packs of the stuff per day. BANK

also, when i was a lot younger i used to do the sprite codes thing, eventually got enough cash saved up to buy one of those finger skate boards.

ThePeter exposed??

I had to come home sick one day from school in the 4th grade.

We stopped at a gas station on the way home where I was able to get a Sprite to settle my stomach.

Under the cap is said that I had won a basketball.

I still have it, in all it's green and black-ness.

It's a pretty good ball and it is, indeed, a lot more fun when it says you win stuff under the cap itself.
