Do you need to get a code from Kroger? The link looks like you just enter 3-12 pack codes and you get the points.

Speaking of Kroger, if anyone shops there ask to be put on their coupon snail mail list. A lot of times there is a coupone for $2 off $10 in purchases from the soft drink dept and a coupon for 2-20 oz coke purchases. They were in the coupon pack I got last week. GREAT deal since they let me combine that coupon with the 2-free 20-oz coke coupons I had and I bought four 12-packs of coke zero and using free coupons and they allowed that coupon to be used. The really nice thing was the 12 packs were on sale and they gave me the full $4.99 on each of the free 12 pack coupon so I got a nice discount off my grocery bill for buyign coke products that trip:)

Pepsi has launched a rewards program similar to MyCokeRewards... more information here.

I don't know. I was thinking it would be something like enter Kroger, get zero points (like ROO) then input three. I stopped by a couple of Krogers, but apparently had grown two heads en route. BTW, those were Toledo, OH Kroger stores. My only concern was "participating stores" and says to see store displays. I only have two 12 pack codes available to me now, so can't try it until I take my free 12 pack coupons in to stock up.

If you live in the south side of Toledo, the Kroger at Glendale and Reynolds normally gives you the entire $4.99 off per 12-pack coupon even when the coke products are on Sale:)

Coke zero bracket challenge
 

Starts today, but only using MCR codes to get picks.

Looking over the rules, the free entries(5 per day) will not open up until April 1st and run for 10 days so not enough to get every team picked. Yes, the click 'here' is not active. Now, if someone knew the javascript popup code to request one :)

Stumbled upon this while entering this week's caps. It did allow assignment of teams for me, best seeding of my 5 daily assignments is #13. I like how this is different from the SuperBowl promotion, no raffle pools. Rules state there are only 1.25 million assignments and the distribution has 1 assignment for each #1 seed.

I am curious to see if my random assignments will be duplicates like landing on Boardwalk every other roll in McMonopoly. Your team wins the second round game, free 20 ounce. Also 4 game points, not MCR points, allows redemption of additional 20 ounce coupons or you can save your game points for logoed gear.

Enter 3 12-pack codes, after 3rd one, 10 point bonus posts.

I entered 3 and got 0. in between each code I picked my seed for the bracket game, but since there is no way to get back to MCR from the bracket game screen, I used the back button....this obviously screwed them up, because after 3 codes I got 0 bonus. I guess you have to do all 3 on the same screen and hope they give you 3 seed picks for your cokezero 12 pack codes.

You won't be able to guarantee that you'll get every team no matter what you do because all of the entries are randomly selected. This isn't like picking the squares for the Super Bowl contest. Based on my experience so far, you should expect to see a lot of double digit seeds and not very many top seeds -- prizes are only awarded if your team gets to the Sweet Sixteen (you get nothing if your team gets knocked out in rounds 1 or 2).

It is a little goofy on how it works but I assumed it would keep track and not assign you the same seed/bracket more than once. You do get a 20oz coupon if your teams wins in the second round.

If they are stating the trip for 2 to the championship is worth $100,000 you will be paying Uncle Sam a pretty hefty tax.

I think you've mixed up the value of two different prizes related to the game pieces, due to Coke's poorly worded prize listing. If you look at Rule 9B in the official rules, the prize offerings are clearer:

"Championship Game Grand (one prize only): A check for $100,000. ARV: $100,000.

Championship Game First Prizes (up to 9, depending which team wins the Championship Game of the Tournament, see details in Section 8, above): A trip for 2 to Dallas, TX for the 2014 NCAA® Final Four®....ARV: $7,500."

Parts of this game feature some of the most confusing rules I think I've ever seen in a major contest.

bob12403, thanks for the clarification. I agree those rules are a tad superfluous.

I received my coupon Friday morning for the coke zero promo (it is also good on coke and diet coke).

Instead of being printed on the stiff cardboard this was a standard size coupon printed on glossy paper. I like this a lot better than the stiff cardboard since it is easier to carry in my wallet (I like carrying the 20 oz in my wallet when travelling so I can use them at expensive convenience stores if I want a coke zero). I hope MCR starts printing all future coke coupons on this style of paper.

I was in Vegas this weekend and something really funny was I tried using it at the coca cola store on the strip and they denied it:) The coke store won't even take their own coupons:) I was told to use it at the Walgreens or seven-eleven a block away:)

Nah, I'd contend they are necessary, but they should not obfuscate the meaning. :D

This is pretty lame so far
 

I got 10 more entries today (2 accounts) and several of them were duplicates -- for teams seeded 15 and 16, which have virtually no chance of winning one game, let alone two. From what I can tell, the best value of this contest is that you can get 1 free Coke Zero 20 ounce coupon for every 4 black caps that you enter (in addition to the 3 points that you get for entering the code, and on top of the double points that you get for typing in "roo").
