My husband told me about this deal and I got hooked. Went to every supermarket I could find. Left with 100+ unentered.

Actually, there were no original T&Cs. They originally only had a link to the generic AA T&Cs, then posted the contents of post #337 earlier this week. Here's who has what:
- I have a screenshot from Google's cache of the home page before they posted the Emmi T&Cs.
- I think I can still get the cache version of the original form from google (and there's the one tarheel99 posted the link for).
- Landing Gear has the Emmi T&C's from before they pulled this garbage.
- rrgg has email about the offer being unlimited.
- I have a screenshot from Google's cache of the home page before they posted the Emmi T&Cs.
- I think I can still get the cache version of the original form from google (and there's the one tarheel99 posted the link for).
- Landing Gear has the Emmi T&C's from before they pulled this garbage.
- rrgg has email about the offer being unlimited.
As martian stated, due to the fact that I will have wasted lots of money on this, this is the one time when I will fully support a lawsuit (if necessary). EmmiUSA has deceived so many people in so many ways. Please count me in any any group legal action.

About 15 minutes ago I got my son to help me open all the unopened cheese boxes that I spent about 3 hours finding at various Albertson's around town. We opened about 40--all while my family making sarcastic comments about me being a lunatic, and me retorting that I just may sell them on ebay and make $300 in a day, blah blah blah...
Then I turned on my computer for the first time today in order to enter the new codes and couldn't figure out why this thread had gone to so many pages from when I checked it at midnight last night. <sigh>
At this point, I do NOT plan to tell anyone around here about this fiasco!

I left a message on Emmi's voice mail demanding either a refund of my money or my miles. I know the likelihood of a reply is quite slim so my next plan of action is to send letters to both Emmi and AA. I was horrified about this earlier, but I'm feeling a little calmer now and feel strongly we will all eventually see our miles. To make matters worse, I had also sold some on ebay - of course the buyers are now saying they never got a chance to enter the codes - quite a disaster to say the least. Shouldn't have pushed my luck with eBay I guess (my husband says it serves me right for choosing $ over miles : ).

Ouch! Hang onto your certificates and store receipts, watch this space for developments, and donate any cheese you don't want to consume or give as gifts to a qualified charity (food pantry, homeless shelter, soup kitchen) and get a receipt from the charity so you can take it off on your 2006 federal tax return.

It looks here aren't very many of us in this situation here. So, we are all going to expend quite a bit of effort sending emails to the media, and pressuring this company.
I still think we should come up with a good form letter to send out to all these contacts. Could someone a bit more eloquent than me draft an initial one, and then we can discuss how best to edit it?

I added the new contacts:
Could we get someone who posted on the first page of this thread to add all of these contacts to their post.

No miles have posted to my AA account. Makes me wonder if they even had the miles to give away!

It looks here aren't very many of us in this situation here. So, we are all going to expend quite a bit of effort sending emails to the media, and pressuring this company.
I still think we should come up with a good form letter to send out to all these contacts. Could someone a bit more eloquent than me draft an initial one, and then we can discuss how best to edit it?

Just sit down at your computer and write to Emmi. Tell them how much cheese you purchased, how many coupons you got and how many miles you are supposed to get. Ask them to give you the miles.
