Please elaborate on how buying a product and redeeming the codes in accordance with the rules is abuse. Especially after having been assured there were no limits and nothing to worry about.

Is it abuse to buy lots of Coke and redeem those codes for MyCokeRewards points and then convert to Delta miles or Hilton points? I thought that's what the Coca Cola Company wanted people to do. What's the difference? The only difference is that Emmi offered more miles per dollar and didn't use their own point currency to allow "price" adjustments. How is that the customers fault? How does that stop any other company from offering a well thought out, well executed promotion?
