Did anyone else get the survey today regarding how to make mycokerewards better? It was awfully cheap- not even a bonus points offer for filling it out! I did it anyway, and complained about most of the stuff that gets complained about here.

I kind of wondered if I got selected because I have a hispanic-sounding last name, because the survey invite was half in English and half in Spanish, unlike anything I've ever gotten from My Coke Rewards before.

No - I just got the standard "See how many points you have" email today, which is always inaccurate. But then again, I have a Greeky sounding last name....

Boy, just when you thought the rewards couldn't get any crappier. I haven't looked in awhile, I was desperate and getting the Budget certificates which coordinate well with mileage promos, but wow - bad stuff. Whats next - a bag of broken glass and a punch in the mouth? I mean, I love diet coke and practically live on the stuff so I'm still going to buy it but the rewards are just plain bad.

And for the record...I ordered the combo popcorn/snow cone maker like 4 months ago and its still on back-order. This is extremely lame.

Rant over.

Now that's out of the way, I agree completely. While I drink Coke anyway, I think it is about time to end this promo & put us out of our misery.

This thread has become so sad. Remember how excited we all were at the beginning? Now, we're kinda limping across the finish line, with a post every day or two, usually talking about how lousy the program is. I'm thinking of moving to Pepsi just out of spite and only recording caps that I find. Coke won't care, but my righteous indignation meter will get to go up a tick.

If I were to open a second MCR account using a different address/email, could I redeem for Priority Club points again? It's not limited by your Priority Club account number, right?

I personally like the way you think, but be prepared for the resident MCR police to berate you for thinking such a thing!

I'd also like to hear personal experiences on the matter. It's about the only thing that a customer can do to salvage what's left of this pathetic program.

Not that I would ever think of doing such a thing; however, a friend of a friends second cousins sister did this without a hitch.

Same here, except it's my friend's cousin's sister-in-law.

Geez, I guess I'm a little slow sometimes... I need to call my cousin's next door neighbor's brother-in-law right away and get them to sign up!

If U know the full name, address, & birthdate (or guess) of your friends' relatives & relatives' friends, U can sign them up using your own extra e-mail addresses.

I actually view the opening of multiple MCR acct.s to get PC points as civil disobedience, not dishonesty!

MCR finally put some theme park tickets up. Scored two tickets to Dollywood. Woohoo!

2000 PC points are back this morning. Of course, it is a limited time one per lifetime award.
