If I can't provide good news, the least I can do is entertain.

I don't know that I'd even go that far. :D

Me too. I've never found the 70 point diamond, or been able to get the after 7 pm diamond. Suppose I shouldn't complain, though. Afterall, 35 points a day is still 35 points a day I wouldn't otherwise have.

This is how I feel. If I earn 35 points/day/account, I'm still up quite a bit.

Actually it says: Limit 5 Free $10.00 CVSCash cards per cardholder per week.

So it looks like you can get your second, third, forth and fifth card ^

If you call "one (1) 12 pack deal", as constituting your buying twelve (12 ) 12 packs and getting back a $10 cash back card, well then, yes, you are limited to 5 of such "deals" per card.

Remember, however, you can always sign up for a new card for a different member of your household and use it yourself.

Ok, I'm confused. Per your post earlier, NJUPINTHEAIR, I thought I was limited to 5 of the Coke deals.

I entered a couple Coke Zero 12-pack codes and got the double points but didn't see any place to enter a Nabisco UPC. Could you explain where it is or what I'm missing, please?

5 deals per card, if you mean you will get up to $50 in cash back cards, each worth $10.00 = 5 "deals".

If one limits this exercise to only Coke products in procuring a $10 cash back card (and not Nabisco or other products which also could contriubte to the $30 spend to obtain the $10 cash back card), then since each 12 pack costs $2.50, if one were to exclusively buy 12 packs to obtain this deal (a $10 cash back card), one would have to purchase a total of twelve 12 packs = $30.00

However, since one can only buy a maximuim of four (4) 12 packs per shopping trip/transaction/register recipt, you would need to make three separate cash register purchases of 4 12 packs to total $30.

I believe that if you were to make more than four (4) 12 pack purchases in any one transaction, the 5th and any other purchase in that transaction would not be discounted to $2.50, rather it would ring up at full price which in my area is $4.99.


So to maximize your savings, you are limited to purchasing at most 4 12 packs in any one register receipt transaction.

However, such a purchase would only come to $10 (4 X $2.50), and as I have noted above, you can also purchase as many as 8 2L bottles of Coke products, as well, in any one transaction. Those bottles have a sale price of $1,25 each, making the maximum purchase of such bottles in any one transaction at not so coincidentally, $10, as well. See the symmetry above to the number of 12 packs to be purchased in any one transaction?

Therefore, if one wanted to get the most Coke products in any one transaction one would buy 4 12 packs and 8 2L bottles, thus getting 2/3 of the way to obtaining one cash back card ($20/$30 spend).

One might wish to do the above for they may have a $4 off $20 CVS coupon, thus further discounting the final cost of your Coke products and therefore, making the out of pocket cost of your Coke products even less. QED.

In the end, you can obtain up to 5 $10 cash back cards, but you are still limited to a maximum of up to 8 2L bottles and a maximum of 4 12 packs per register receipt transaction in obtaining those cash back cards.

Counsellor --

There is also some sort of sweepstakes whereby you might win some prizes if you enter a Coke zero product, presumablly the Coke numbers for the points and certain Nabisco products. However, my enthusiasm for this potential double dip was dampened when I read that like other sweepstakes offerings, it would cost me 6 MCR points for the privilege of entering such sweepstakes!

Edit: But see Bob's post below!

For those of you with small children or grandchildren, MCR is offering 75 points if you purchase 5 Disney books for $12.95.

NJ, I think the contest you're referring to is the Gear Up For The Big Game instant win game. But you don't need to waste 6 MCR points to enter.

Here's what you do: go to the entry page for the instant win contest. Click on the link for "rules." Scroll down to item #5c, where it says "Click here to receive 1 free 'contest entry' which you may use to play the Instant Win Game." Click, enter the captcha code in the next popup screen, and it will confirm that you have earned one free entry. Do that four more times, then go to the game. When you try to enter, it will tell you how many free codes you have, and ask if you want to use your free code, or use 6 MCR points to enter. (Talk about a no-brainer.) Pick the free entry, and you're off to the races. You can earn and redeem five free codes per day, and the codes are good for five days. This applies to many, but not necessarily all, Coke instant win games.

Thanks Bob!

That's the one I was referring to and when I read it would require 6 MCR points, I stopped reading!

I don't blame you. Who wants to spend down an MCR balance to win nothing, when you can spend nothing to win nothing! :D

A Heads Up for those of you seeking to cash in on double points for the Coke Zero 12 packs.

The Cherry Coke Zero 12 packs also double.

The Sprite Zero 12 packs do not double.

Any tips for finding the diamonds? I just signed up, and it looks like I could wander around the map for hours without covering all the ground.
