I'm wondering if their random # generator is messed up?


Someone is probably stealing the codes/certs.

Weird - for Powerade and Fanta products, I received double points today at 10am CST. For box codes and red coke caps, I got the normal 3 points. So, wondering if they occasionally have these "specials".

Took a chance and entered a few codes based on subdawg's posting.

Entered a box code for Minute Maid Lemonaid and got (double) 20 points, then tried one for Diet Coke and got (the standard) 10 points. Looks like it could be Minute Maid and Fanta products getting the double sweetness bonus today.

Gracias Subdawg.

I got 20 points for a fridge pack of Nestea instead of the standard 10 points. So I tried two caps from Nestea bottles. Each was worth 6 instead of 3.

I also had a couple of caps from PowerAid. Those also received 6 each.

This time I didn't receive an email from coke about the double. I think back in February Coke alerted us to the upcoming double day.

Go get 'em before they're out of stock, too !
So just to clarify, I can redeem DL miles multiple times within a year?

I have 723 MCR right now so can I redeem 335 MCR X 2 Now and then redeem more MCR points for DL miles later this month? or is there a cap on how many I can redeem?


thank you for all your help.

Correct - the only limit is how long DL miles awards stay on MCR. Supply is not unlimited. Everything ends.

Double for Dasani Also

I had 3 Dasani 24-16.9oz packs. They all three posted at 20 points instead of the usual 10.

I also tried Coke, Coke Zero and Diet Coke, 3 and 10 pointers. All posted at the "regular" rate.

So, along with several earlier posts, it looks like "non-coke" items have the best chance of getting double points today!

I think the Dasani 24 packs always give 20pts. I redeemed two of them last week and I got 20pts for each.

Thank you much. Just redeemed 2 of the 850 DL miles. It says it takes 24 to 48 hours to register.

Can't explain Powerade or Fanta, but in the lower left corner of the MCR home page today, before logging in, is a graphic:
"Get double points from Minute Maid & Nestea codes July 16-27."

I have about 12 blue powerade caps and 1 black one that when I enter the code I get a message that says that the code is not good at this time, try re-entering without the spaces etc...I don't remember the exact message as I've entered my limit today and can't recreate it today. I have re-entered the codes ( I never spaced them in the first place) and still get the same message. Anyone else get this error message?

I got that msg when I tried to enter used codes, promotion codes to be exact in the past.

Not a used code, took the caps off the bottles myself.

Incorrect.

From the MCR website

Dasani 24 pack 500mL (16.9oz) = 10 points (this is what I received 20 yesterday).

There is a 20 points Dasani, but it is 12 pack of 12 oz bottles (obviously a more profitable package for Coke).
