I just checked, and the miles from my first two SkyMiles redemptions have posted to my DL account. It would appear that DL has worked out the kinks with the codes.
Like others, I don't believe that Coke is out of DL awards because there were no emails warning of low levels, as was the case in 2006. I think Coke pulled them off because it was being inundated with complaints about the codes not working. Now that the codes are working, I am hopeful that the awards will be back soon.
As I noted above, I don't think this is an instance where they ran out of them, I think that they were pulled temporarily because of the problems we were having. After all, none of us received an e-mail that the rewards were running low and moreover, DL is a major sponsor of the site and the program.
Doesn't look too good for their awards to be gone after less than a day, esp. since many were having trouble redeem them.
I expect for them to return, but you better jump on them, as they likely will go fast since everything else offered is dreck!
They're back, and they're working. I just cashed in 800 points for 8 - 500 mile certificates. I was going to wait to cash in 1000 points for a single 5000 mile award, but I don't trust these guys at all.

I've been tring to collect these points for 6 weeks now and I have just 47. I've even sunk to the level of trash-picking from the office trash cans after people leave. How in the world do you guys get up to 800 or 1000 points?

1) picking from the office recycling bin
2) if you go to sporting events where bottled coke is sold
i went to the Hall of Fame game in Canton last august and got about 800 caps,
the security guards were looking at me like i was crazy,
3) we have a neighborhood recycling area, i have gotten at least 200 points from the 12 pack containers that folks throw in the mixed paper recycling bin
i dont think i have actually bought a coke product in 4 months

Whereas the previous codes were sent to me rather rapidly but could not be redeemed, now I have not received a code that presumably can be redeemend.
Has anyone redeemed Coke points today for the DL award code and actually received the code via e-mail today??
Thanks!

Site is down again- 1:55 in the East.
I got an e-mail back after I wrote about codes I can't submit. It asked for the code, what size and bracnd, and where I bought it. Theya re going to check the codes with the bottler. This code was very clearly written so i know I entered it right.
