Er... I was able to register for Papa John's without providing ANY cell number. That field is listed as "optional."

Just wanted to pop in and say "THANKS!" to all who are posting links and codes.

I just got hooked on the MCR bug recently (can you belive I have been saving caps for someone else! I may have to turn in my FT badge. ) and have already redeemed a few PC rewards. Beautiful!

FYI, I signed up several Papa John email addresses and will soon see if I can get 60 points a day?

Thanks Again, Y'all!

23 Points Is A Scam

THIS IS A PHISHING ATTEMPT. If you look where the URL goes, they are trying to steal your information.

Don't reply to this one.

I just deleted the email. I did go to MCR to look at my information but not by clicking on an email.

legit emails from MCR will include links to:

link.p0.com

Perhaps someone with more knowledge of web-based advertising can explain what benefit MCR gets from using something other than their own domain. Especially considering that when I see a link to something other than the URL I expect, I do not click it.

Holy MCRs, Papa Johns just awarded me 250 points. We'll see if that email comes through.

But they are way devalued. 335 Points for 850 Miles and 1180 Points for 3000 Miles.
