sticky gone????

why was the sticky removed from this thread

I realize the mcr program blows and has for a while but they make enough changes to the shell of a program that would warrant keeping this a sticky

Unbelievable! I was a day away from redeeming 2 awards under the 30 day rule when they changed to 60 days. Now once again, days before I can redeem, I am no longer eligible since I already claimed this reward.

It's not that I expected much from this program but I did expect them to honor their advertised redemptions.

+1 DebBrown! MCR is unreliable & these surprise rules changes = messing with us! Most members don't read FT nor other online boards about MCR & just end up exclaiming "What the ...!"

You probably haven't pay too much attention to the changes in SPAM Forum. Not only were there threads asking for poll on stickies (now expired & removed) but also the new threads:

Suggestion for Mods

500 PC points they want...

But for the A-o's non-registered FT-lurkers I ain't spilling the
beans how the D****-guy and OTHERS are doing the "work-around"
'cause I'm not the snitch and not the Coke MCR or PC point police, either.

It's now become a selfish "free-for-all" -- first come-first served battle to
see who can "screw-Coke" and everyone else -- bigtime by taking all the
goodies before anyone else -- so, if anybody dare to snooze you'll lose
chances to get ANYthing that's left at all.

I'm sure that they'll ALL get caught up with soon enough as Coke
& PC managers backtrack the codes to their original ISP's & MCR accounts
-- and they will LOSE their point-accumulations because of fraudulent
breach of the rules.

And then there'll be nothing "travel" related except perhaps "sweepstake
entry" opportunities, which is like trying to win the sucky lottery ....

False alarm, BB! I just checked & the 2K PCs which were restocked May 1, are still available.

BB, that's only part of the problem IMHO. Many people incl. me had built up an acct. to (near) 630 thru March/ early April only to have the 2K PCs run out Mon. April 13! So now they have restocked & 1000s of members are expected to pounce, because like April 13, today is also Monday--start of a new week !

BTW, I had only enough codes to reach 613 last night. I was lucky that a bonus of 20 points had just posted to put me at 633!

Well I guess I'm maxed out at one PC. Maybe I'll be lucky enough one day to acquire a Roast Set
