None for me either. It's been more than the week that was promised.

1. Per the website, "You will receive an email within three to five business days of signing up that will have your My Coke Rewards 60 points code." That being said more than 5 business days have passed since I signed up and I have yet to receive the email with the code that they promised. To the best of my knowledge nobody anywhere has received any of the 60 MCR point codes from this promo as yet.

2. Since it is a code that you will enter I'm guessing that you would be able to enter more than one per MCR account, much like those of us that took advantage of the MCR promo with Best Buy Reward Zone earlier this year were able to enter multiple 250 point codes into the same MCR account.

3. Through the years several other FT'ers have commented on my user name. In truth I've always despised the NY Yankees, I've actually been a Cincinnati Reds fan since 1970 so hopefully you can rest easy...

I feel relieved on all fronts. :)

Just the email this evening with the code and quickly deposited the 60 points in my MCR account. Worked perfectly!

Opted in on Monday and received the SWA bonus code this evening. Depositing it took my MCR account over 160, briefly. :D

That's odd, I signed up the very first day this was offered (last Tuesday, June 1) and have yet to receive my MCR code.

I signed up Monday evening, and got the code Friday evening.

2K PC's are now OOS--have been since yesterday PM.

Still waiting for my code...

It would help if I checked the right e-mail account.

Did not get the code.

I got seven 500 point PC codes during the 50 point deal a couple of weeks ago. I deposited six of them to my PC account on Monday 6/13. All six showed up as transactions immediately, but my balance only incremented once, for 500 points. I know it can take a few hours for these things to fully post, but I wasn't expecting 3 days.

Is this within the normal range or should I call?

2000 PCs have been replenished!

Here's my little math on how much MCR points were worth to me based on the last PCR promo.

I typically value a stay at $200/night (Crowne Plaza, etc.). The stay requires 25,000 PCR points and since I have their CC it costs me 22,500 instead. Each $200 qualified paid stay at CP purchased with my PCR CC brings 1000 points for the CC use and 2000 points for the total dollar amount. Given that there are various promos always floating around I can speculate that that one night stay would bring on average 10,000 PCR points. So, by paying for a stay with points rather then dollars I rid myself of potential 10K in additional PCR, therefore I can say that a stay on points actually costs me 32,500 points in spent and otherwise missed points. So, how much is one 500 PCR voucher worth to me then? it's $200 divided by 65 vouchers that makes it roughly $3 a voucher. Each voucher was obtained for 50 MCR points and that makes one MCR point worth 6¢. So the 3 point cap is worth 18¢ and a code from the 12 pack - 60¢.

This math does not take into the account night bought on F&F. Those would not incur any bonuses other then a bonus for using a CC for payment, but would reduce the cost of a night by 30%. So, on F&F the room would be $140 and otherwise going by the previous calculations take 23,500 points. That would be 47 vouchers at - surprise, surprise! - the same $3 per voucher. As you can see, PCR really figured it out. No matter how you pay for your room the points worth is exactly the same.

Once again, this is only pertained to me and your evaluations might vary.


I'm far from smart enough to do the math on this, but I've always used MCR points for free 20 oz bottle certificates, as I have a serious Diet Coke addiction.
By my calculation, 630 points would equate to 21 free 20 oz bottles (30 points per freee bottle), with an additional 63 points from the free bottle caps, or another 2 free bottles. These bottle usually cost about $1.50 each, but, frankly, I can get 2 liter bottles on sale for around $1.00, so I rarely if ever buy the 20 oz bottles; I only get them with free certificates. Given that, I would value the free 20 oz certificates at around $1 each (note: they sell for less on eBay)
Based on the math above, it appears that I should DEFINITELY be moving MCR points to PCR, instead of getting the free 20 oz. bottles:
Doing my "math for dummies" calculation, 630 MCR = 2000 PCR; I have found free rooms where I want to stat at 15,000 PCR, but let's be conservative and say 20,000 PCR. By my math, that would be 23 free bottles x 4 or $92 in "value" and means I'm paying less than $100 for a great room in an international resort.
Did I do that correctly?
Hell, based upon those numbers, I should shift all MCR to PC, and BUY the free certificates on eBay for less than $1 each!

There are often better redemption values (especially on Wednesday deals) but I still prefer to use the majority of my MCR points for PC redemptions and don't really worry on how much each point is worth to me.

I'm not sure on your math. How can you get a night in an international property for under $100? If I am reading it correctly, your basing it against how much your dollar can buy. Since you can "buy" pc points using the cash and points trick at 10,000 for $60 it makes them .006 each.

you can get a really nice hotel for 20,00PC that is valued at more than $120, but this is how much 20,000 costs out of pocket if you were to buy the points from PC.

23 bottles for 630MCR X 4, = 92 bottles (your value of $92)
630MCR for 2000PC x 4 = 8,000PC (points and cash value of $48)

now I am not sure why you stopped there, because you wanted 20,000 not 8,000 for a night, 20,000 PC = 6300MCR

23 bottles x 10 = 230 free bottles (your estimation of $230)
630MCR for 2,000 x 10 =20,000 ($120 value points and cash)

Still since sometime the value isn't in the cost, but the experience...
at the end of the free bottle redemption may be the better use, but I will remember the hotel stay much more than the free cokes.
