Sorry BUT, TrojanHorse is right. If you get and enter points, you get to pull the prizes. The codes are out there to be entered!

Please explain how my ability to obtain and enter points is cheating the system. Whether I purchase the various products or someone else does and gives me their points. SOMEONE PAID FOR THE POINTS! Where in the rules does it say only points you personally paid for can be entered by you. Sound almost like a rationed communist fair-share plan (P.S. - it didn't work).

Don't want to cheat the system - only have access to what I'm entitled to based on the rules. Restrictictions should be in-line with restriction of entries per day. Prizes should be likewise available. If I wasn't buying the product, they would make less of a profit and in-turn have less prizes. Whether you want to believe it or not, we keep the program up and running. Its the demand that supports the program; NOT, the lets be fair and equally share.

They don't restrict how much coke you buy - DO THEY????

And what's wrong with paying someone who is not working to stand in line for you?? That individual gets to make money, you get a chance to go to work and earn an income and the store is restricting the number of tickets or items each person can purchase. In the end, everyone wins! Sounds more like you are the one complaining that YOU didn't get one!

Those that are resourceful get rewarded. Those who wait for their fair share of everything to be delivered will continue to wait for their fair share!!

Delta listed as an MCR partner again
 

This might not be an indicator of anything....or perhaps it might...

Delta's logo used to be at the bottom of the MCR home page as an MCR Partner. This was during the time that SkyMiles awards were available at MCR. IIRC, some time after the awards completely went away, so did the Delta logo at the bottom of the screen.

I just noticed that the logo is back, even though (at this time) there is only a Delta sweepstakes for which you can redeem MCR points.

If Delta is getting a featured ad spot as a partner in the program, might there be some new Delta awards about to appear?

Inquiring minds...

RED ALERT! I just got an e-mail from MCR that the reward of 2000 PC is close to OUT OF STOCK! :( Get one now while they last!

BTW,Oh-so-thank-U, cellphone! ^ I've just ordered my coupon. Coca-Cola Zero, Baby!

My Coke Rewards is giving away a Free 20 Oz of Coke Zero. This is a new offer for today, July 5. Thanks Slickdeals.

1. Log on to your account
2. Once signed in, search for "Taste Of Victory"
3. Redeem the item for 0 points

I hope so...

Thank you, this worked.

You know what, I check every day for stuff that I'm searching. I've never had a problem getting what I want (IF) I had enough points. I really don't care about the e-bayers, the vending machine guys etc.. how are they any different from the ones who find a ton of them at work, find them after a public event etc.. as long as they can only enter ten codes a day, then its fair. I could care less about those selling them on Ebay or whereever they are selling them. I only care about my points. If someone gets the codes from EBAY, think its worth it to pay for them.. so be it. Coke still got paid for the product.

I honestly don't worry about those place holders in lines whether it be for tickets to an event, electronics etc... sounds like you are the type to be the chronic complainer b/c you are not quick enough. I suppose you will complain as well when I check for J/F award tickets 330 days out for tough to get routes for say myself and family b/c I beat you to the punch or you didn't have enough miles just yet. What about all those that have their miles from credit cards... isn't that not fair to BIS mileage earners.. you arguement about this entire MCR restriction has the stench of the complainer you wish to paint others :rolleyes:

Lets just say regarding the cheating > I intend to get the items I want with the codes I've input using whatever the (mcr) system is willing to give me. If mcr can't (or more likely isn't willing) put in a system that controls it exactly they way they want too, then so be it. I'll take what they (mcr) gives me.


ditto on that.. got some more of those at the buzzer

Thanks for the free 20 ounce, I like free things!:p

I'm sad to hear that the 2,000 PC points stock is running out. That's the last thing I'm earning points for right now, since I have one more to go before I've used all of my PC point redemptions. If that's gone I'm hoping it's either restocked or there's something else interesting...

Some people feel differently, and open multiple accounts because even though it's against the T&Cs, it's not enforced very well.

And presumably Coke feels that they will get higher demand by limiting the rewards in the manner in which they do, because it will increase demand by the majority of people - who enter points relatively slowly - when they feel that they have a reasonable shot at getting something "good." If they felt that they would get greater demand by not limiting rewards, I'm sure they would. They're in the best position to know how well their marketing works or doesn't work, because they have all the real numbers.

I don't stand in line because I generally don't care about being first (and I don't really go to many concerts anymore), so no, I'm not complaining about that.

Of course, it must be that just because I disagree with something, I must be on the losing end of it. Right. There's obviously no possible way that I could hold an opinion about whether something is OK or not if I'm not simply whining, right? :rolleyes: GMAB.

You suppose a lot of things, but that doesn't make you correct.

I have no problems with people getting their awards 330 days out. But then, I also don't have a problem with the airline limiting their release of award seats. It's their program, and I operate within it. If at any time I become dissatisfied with the program and its limitations/restrictions, I'll stop participating in it.

Which airline did you say you work for? :D

How its enforced has nothing to do with my entitlements. If I were cheating the system, I would pay a due price for breaking the rules. And for my final comment on this subject - Who made you the MCR police. Regardless of what you say, sounds like a whole bunch of whinning on your part. All I want is what I'm due per the rules, not your or someone else's interpretation of the rules.

Nobody. This is a public internet forum and I am expressing my opinions. You are free to disagree (as you have), and you are free to comment (as you have). As am I.

Besides which, my original comment had nothing to do with moralistic issues whatsoever. It was a reply to TrojanHorse expressing my opinion that the limits are not "a joke." I didn't bring up the issue of cheating, as it was brought up in reply to my response.

And regardless of what you say, complaining about the prize limitations sounds like a bunch of whining on your part. Satisfied?

The rules are very explicit: "limit one Account per person, 5 Accounts per household, and 10 Accounts per physical address." Anyone who opens multiple accounts in their own name is therefore violating the rules. If the accounts are opened in the names of other household members, well, that should be just fine, according to the explicitly-stated limitations in the rules (whose interpretation is clear).


(I should not that all of this "who made you the <X> police" comments are ludicrous. Just because one is not in a specific position of power doesn't mean that one can't hold an opinion about things and/or that one cannot express those opinions. If you saw someone report a crime being committed, would you scold them for doing so because they're not the police? Please. Those kinds of "who made you the <X> police" comments are generally made by people who think that they are entitled to do anything they want, whether or not it breaks rules or laws, as long as they don't get caught by people in positions of power.)

This could get ugly really quickly, so I suggest we stop and get back to MCR.

I wish the MCR Police would arrest those crappy prizes and get some GOOD ones on there! (I'm whining about the prizes too :D)

I've been maintaining my own account and also one my greyhound rescue group is collecting codes for as a "fundraiser" for raffle prizes. I was wondering what the T&C's were for having more than one account. Thanks.

Thanks Bestbet!
Worked for me. Now I hope they mail the coupon.
