Deeply devalued (the Coke Rewards points, I mean), or greatly overvalued (the Delta miles)!
Coke Rewards points are worth about 10 cents, at least judging from what else you can redeem them for. At that rate, the "500 Delta miles for 100 CokeReward points" offer from April valued the miles at about 2 cents per mile. More than I'd pay, but some would consider 2 cents per mile about right.
The new offers value a mile at about 4 cents. Waayyy too high, IMHO. (Of course, if you have Coke Reward points just sitting there, I guess it might be worth it if there's nothing else you fancy.)
Actually, this is just market forces at work. Since the Delta miles "Sold out" quickly at 500 miles / 100 MCR points (Twice), that was clearly not a proper valuation. At the same time, the Priority Club points were clearly over priced at 500 PC / 250 MCR. After some time of dissapointing activity, the PC points were revalued at 500 / 125. Since they have not sold out, but people on this forum report redemptions, this valuation is probably close.
I value MRC at $0.05 and Skymiles at $0.01 so this valuation seems overpriced to me. However, many have commented that Skymiles are the only thing worth getting and they may be willing to trade for the one thing they want.
Bottom line: If they sell out quickly, they were underpriced. If they stay around at that price for months, they are correctly valued. If they end up reducing the price after a month or so, they were indeed overpriced.
I read about a 'refer a friend' offer that apparently is somewhere on the Mycokerewards site. Allegedly, you get 10 points and your 'friend' gets 50 points. Does anyone have any idea where or if this is accurate? I've searched on the MCR site, but not found anything that looks like a referral link/site. TIA

log in to your MCR account. right below where it says "my favorites" and "alerts" click on tell a friend.
you get 10 points once the friend earns 50 points. i did it and i think i also earned another 10 points when the friend hit 100 points.
Ditto Milemuncher Post #811!
The original DL ratio & PC ratio made no sense--were totally inconsistent with each other. I guessed it was because DL as a sponsor was subsidizing the sale of SkyMiles to MCR.
jmsfla2002, right on! 2travelfar, your friend must earn 50 points in his/her own acct., then U get 10 points referral bonus. But I never got a second bonus when my referred friends hit 100.

I installed it with no problems.

Kmart also currently has the 5 for $11, but no extra coupons.

Are you recieving points each time you enter your email address? I got the 10-pt email the first time I entered but not for any later entries. Do you get a 10-pt email each time you enter?

Since I received a followup email stating the correct point total and apologizing for the erroneous first email, I'm assuming that it was just a glitch:

I just went to a movie at a Regal Cinema. They had cups promoting Hairspray that had pink stickers on them that could be removed with 10 point MCR codes on them. I lingered after the movie and wlaked out with 42 of them. Just thought I would give a heads up.
But to get the free coke I believe you must purchase the pizza is at the regular menu price. Probably a better deal to forgo the coke or whatever and use one of PJ's regular special discounts which can save you a lot off their regular prices.
