There are also day-passes to the CRC available, which seem like a particularly blatant ripoff (in relation to the number of miles you could get for the same number of Coke points).

My 20-oz. Diet Coke was worth 3 Coke points. I don't know if other sizes are worth different amounts, but I'd guess yes. At that rate, it's only 950 Cokes to a free domestic flight on Delta--a return, assuming the Cokes cost $1, of about 30%. Get drinking
I also like the HHonors redemption option.

30 coke points for 500 HHonors points.

Thanks for pointing this out. Surprised that DL didn't go with a Pepsi Rewards program.
