Only a few weeks ago I paid 500 points for a $25 visa card. The $50 WN card is 1425. That's not just inflation but a very fast increase. Since the prizes have been poor for the past year, I think people just take whatever comes along now at whatever price.

I still have coke caps; not enough to reach 1425 at input of 10 per day. Somebody can do that math, not me. But, if you already have a point balance that is close to 1000 or so and this award works for you, I have caps available (about a 1/2 shoebox full).

Fantastic. Something that is actually as good as cash.

Steep price? You gotta be kidding. We've had this discussion before on this thread.
You are getting something for nothing. I've been drinking coke for at least 30 years, and probably will for another 30 assuming I don't get knocked off early So getting $50 for free for drinking cokes that I would drink anyway is a great deal AFAIC. YMMV.

Bragging rights! My wife works in the special event industry. This weekend, she brought me three dozen of the upc codes from the 24-paks! Holy smokes, they are worth 25 points each.

I went to the SC UVA game in Charlottesville and just in our tailgate place alone; so between myself and my kids, we found 606 points in 25 pointers, 10 pointers and caps.. and that was just what was out in plain site.. the place was littered with coke codes

Please don't ever mention that game again! Probably more like a scrimage for your team.
THAT is just the sort of mentality that has caused DL to pressure Coke
into discontinung the redemption codes for DL Skymiles, and also reason
WHY coke has place restrictions and limits to the number of the same
reward one can get with their MCR points.
WHY would I want to BUY a $25 Subway card on eBay and pay seller
$22 and eBay fees?
I am not sure what kind of mentaility you are referring to - I thought that Sun Country Airlines went out of business.
Sun Country flies directly from MSP to about a dozen vacation hotspots & a few cities such as New York & Wash. DC. Last I heard, they gave free meals in Y & better service than NW. Worthwhile only if U live near MSP or like to go to Minnesota on vacation.
Gee, I've been to Vegas, New York, Wash. DC, Cancun, Cozumel...perhaps I should be tested for yo-yo-ism !
