thought the week began at 12:01 p.m. on Mondays

Nope, TH! A few years ago when the limit was 10 codes daily, their day ran from noon to noon. But when they changed to 120 points per week, the weeks have started & ended at Sun. midnight (Mon. 0000 --Sun. 2359.) All EST/ EDT, whichever is in season.

Can one person get 500 as well as 1000 PCR points?

Thanks

There are no 1000 PCR vouchers on MCR. Have you meant 2000 points?

Yup, you are right, that's when this stuff was fresh. This isn't nearly as fun now.

+10 :D ^

Dang!! Yes Foxberg, I meant 500 and 2000 pointers, donno why that 1000 was stuck in my head.

so can 1 get both?

Question: HAVE ANYONE NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH MCR SYSTEM ???
 

Hello Gang

Has any of you folk noticed the latest problems with positing your coke product cap or packagin MCR codes into the system and having it give the "oops" wrong code dialog box although you entered the code correctly
ie, what looks like a "U" is actually a "V" etc, and what looks like an "8" is actually a "B," and what looks like an "O" is actually a "0".... ????

Don't you just hate those darn "dot" print codes?

I think Coke Marketing folk are doing it deliberately to cut down on giving out rewards by making everyone frustrated so you give it up as many already have done.

Or could it be batches of packaging codes not being entered into the MCR database?

Comments, thoughts, anyone?

Or how about redeeeming 250 MCR points for the "Blockbuster Night" coupon and then after going to the blockbuster store to redeem it having the clerk tell you that the barcode on the coupon "has already been used" -- then
having Coke e-Prize people replace it because of a "computer system glitch" then the same thing happens AGAIN when you go to redeem it ....
HAS THAT HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE ?

Coke MCR people did replace the 250 MCR points fairly quick to my account after I emailed them, but having to contact them is a real big pain.

Comments, anyone?

No problems at all. Dot prints are just fine. I'll take as many as you could give me. :D

To poll or not to poll ...
 

Perhaps the franchised "coke bottling plant" in the vicinity near where you reside is printing better than blurs and or actually has somebody enter the package codes into the MCR database etc

Nonetheless I think if we took a poll of of associates who we work with, or family, friends and or neighbors and posed the questions (1) do they drink coke products and if so, do they participate in the MCR program, I'm sure the
response would be that they don't bother about the MCR codes as they feel "it's a waste of time."

That's fine, by me. Just save the coke package and cap codes for me, thank you so much. :D Their 'loss,' is my gain. ^

i have my share of problems with some cap codes as being unreadable but they are few enough that i just consider it a cost of doing business; almost like a bad debt from issuing a line of credit, every so often, someone is going to go bad on you and in this case, its that random cap where you can't figure out the code. its not worth my time complaining to coke as I have a ton of caps as it is

program stinks
 

I was on a consumer panel created by coke just after the program started, it was meant to give them feedback and help improve the program. They banned me for telling them things they didnt want to hear. This program has gone downhill and is a waste of time. when it first started points were worth something a $25 gift cert was 250 points, then 500, then 1000, now if they have any its around 2000. best buy gift cards and subway gift cards were the hot items to start with, and never returned. All the coke merch is overpriced, hell its free advertising for them, why charge a million points for a coke t-shirt....at least they have come down on price of coke merch since the start, but thats about the only thing that has come down. I have gotten some decent items over the years but have spent at least 24 hours inputing codes if you add it all up. Now with limited input (120 a week) they decide to offer big point prizes, how retarded. They must want people with megapoints in their acct to cash in, then maybe they will shoot this mangy dog of a program at the end of the year and put it out of its misery.

Our charity group has gotten several Ipods - we do OK :)
But, if you're in it for travel or items an adult (with good taste) would like then not so good.....

btw: mange is treatable, might be rabies you're thinking of

50 bonus points for opening new accounts are back. How nice... :D

Maybe for you but definitely not a waste of time for us. Since June 27 we have redeemed 7200 MCR points, when it's all said and done there will be close to $1K in our pockets from the items we received with our redemptions. When I see a Coke cap on the ground I see 30 cents cold hard cash - minimum.
