Did you happen to ask if they sell the cheese wheels? I don't see them on the website. (For me, 3 cases of fondue comes out to $0.0199/mi w/shipping)

I spent considerable time looking for Emmi Fondue with promo stickers on them, but could only find the regular packages at the F.E. (Food Emporium) in TriBeCa (NYC), Bazzini's in TriBeCa, Trader Joe's in Westfield NJ, and Fairway in Brooklyn. The most expensive fondue was $12.99/ package at the F.E.

Went to Wegmans in northern Va this am. Found 4 different kinds of swiss knight fondue but none with stickers. Hopefully, with this many kinds they will have to restock soon.

Strack & Van Til in NW Indiana
I found the assorted cheese at the Strack & Van Til store in Indiana for $4.49. They have always had a large assortment of cheeses in their deli department. I know from past experience they will also special order cheeses on request. Maybe some of you having trouble finding the product can ask your store to place an order for you.
There was one code inside each package - no doubles - none missing. I have entered my codes onto the emmiusa.com webpage and will now wait for the miles to post.
Thanks to the OP for finding this! My holiday gifts for some will be baskets of cheese, crackers, and wine. Shopping done!
Edited to add: I e-mailed to find out if the 0's were zero's or Oh's and received this response. I also asked about how long it will take for the miles to appear in my account but that question was not answered.

Has anyone found cheese wheels with codes in NH, MA, or RI? Which store chain? (I already checked the ones listed at the Emmi site.) Thanks.

I happened to be in Saint John - and they did have a dozen or so left that I saw. I would think they would have them in Highland and Munster as well. The WiseWay is affiliated with Strack's as well so they may have them.

I found $4.99 wheels at the Albertson's in Fresno (Blackstone/Clinton location) - they had both non-sticker/non-certificate wheels (red/blue package) and wheels with the sticker and certificate (red and purple packaging), so be careful when selecting. No fondue packs.

I got a quote for $3.50 per cheese wheel (and they have the promo).
The pickup place is in Palo Alto, CA (south bay area). If anyone needs any, please let me know so that I can get the order in (payment okay at time of sale).
This is the best price I have seen on the west coast, and it isn't worth it to pay $1000 in shipping charges to ship the cheese over here from the east coast for similar cheese wheel price each.

Have you placed your order for cheese yet? If not, I would be interested in adding to your order. If you don't mind, I do have two questions though:
Q: What kind of quantities are you considering buying?
Q: May I pay upon delivery of the cheese wheels so that I can confirm that they have the promo stock on them? Considering I'm lactose intolerant, I really don't have a need for the cheese other than to donate it to a food bank
I live in SF and work in Milpitas so I pass around/through Palo Alto every weekday. Please feel free to call me and we can work things out.
Regards,

Suggestion
I just completed the submission of my first 50 codes and I'd like to make a suggestion for everyone here:
Whoever gets the miles credited first, please inform everyone else so we know whether or not the system is working and also whether or not we are being credited with the full amounts we input.
For my part, many thanks!

So, I take it that no one has seen any miles post yet from this? Surely it has been over 2 weeks now? Maybe I got my 0s and Os mixed up

By the way, I can also confirm that they have stopped producing this offer. The FT effect maybe?
