Now that you are sufficiently aggravated. May I add that you should just redeem your points for whatever you can as quick as you can and forget MCR. These people are in ATL. What is the thought process of people in ATL that manage loyalty programs?
It's southern fishing with a crooked twist. 1. Lure them in. 2. Get them hooked. 3. Play with them for awhile. (because it amuses you) 4. Take their life away. 5. Enjoy your bounty of profit. Stupid, stupid fish, always wanting a free meal! :) |

No you should not take a whole bunch of friends caps and enter them into one account. What about the ghetto thief that goes into sams and takes the numbers off of case packs and never buys the product. Shouldn't be able to do that either. People should not go to the ball field and pick up all of the caps on the ground and enter them either. People should not go in the trash and get the caps out of there. This is just wrong. Only enter what you buy and drink yourself. PS:BS |

Interesting moral judgments, especially as picking up caps from a field would have the benefit of cleaning up trash from a field. I don't participate in the MCR program anymore (I did a couple years ago in a limited fashion), but I don't recall there ever being a directive about the "spirit" of the program. If you get into the business of telling people what they should value and how they should value them, then you go down the road of telling people that they shouldn't collect leaves because the "spirit" of trees is to let them fall onto the ground and decompose... and if someone wanted to sell their leaf collection - wow - now they are really violating the "spirit" of nature.

FOR THE FT'er WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND:

Shouldn't be able to do that either. (I don't like theives no matter what they take) People should not go to the ball field and pick up all of the caps on the ground and enter them either. (My family has done this every year since MCR began until last year, not worth it anymore) People should not go in the trash and get the caps out of there. (As long as they don't strow the trash, I don't care) This is just wrong. Only enter what you buy and drink yourself. (sure and you will never get anything of any value because the program will end before you get to the dangling carrot or it will move farther away) PS:BS (I guess one FT'er has never heard the expression "BS", duh ) |

"Starting on February 16th, there's something refreshingly new at My Coke Rewards. The 10 code entries-per-day limit is gone. Now you can enter your codes when you want — up to 120 points per week.* And with the new Weekly Points Tracking Tool it's easy to see how many points you've already entered and how many more points you can still earn for the week." What a joke. Another one of those "refreshing enhancements".:td: |

The upside is that for people who are medium-level redeemers (ones who didn't do 10 codes per day, every day, but do redeem dozens per week) can submit much more efficiently now. If you use Windows Vista and use the MCR Sidebar Gadget ( http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDeta...d432&bt=1&pl=1 ) to skip the website interface, it takes very little time to nail your 120 points per week.

I received the program enhancement email today. It is worded in such a way that they are relying on the supposition that most people can't multiply and divide. How a potential 700 points or more per week going down to 120 points is an enhancement suggests the promoters need to relearn elementary math.

Where did this message come from?

For those interested, here is MCR's explanation on 120 points per week.
More than 97% of our members enter fewer than 120 points per week. For these members, the new weekly points limit gives them more flexibility to enter the codes in a single visit if that works best for them. Less than 3% of our members enter more than 120 points per week, yet these members take over 30% of our rewards. Many of these members enter way more points than any household could possibly buy and drink, so it's clear that they are getting codes from other means. We want to reward the people who are buying our products, so we had to fix this inequity. Keep in mind that 120 points is the same as 40 2-liter bottles or 12 12-packs every week. That's a lot of product for even our most loyal families, and if someone is buying that much of our product, we need to ensure that we have rewards available to reward them. possibly a canned "scripted message" when you called Coke MCR customer service ? |

Interesting Points from the Official (still posted) MCR website
From the official RULES:
1. It's STILL POSTED that 10 codes per MCR account per day is ALLOWED. :confused: 2. Program ends midnight NOVEMBER 30, 2009 not Decvember 31, 2009 3. Redemptions must be made before midnight December 31, 2009 |

Yup, though doing that requires cutting and pasting into the URL. Easier for me to just use the gadget. Both methods far better than using the flash site, however!

Yea! Priority Club is back!
I think I'm going to stay out of the discussion about how we should or should not collect points. I'm just going to bask in the glow of being able to redeem for Priority Club points again.
