No I get what you did, I did the exact same thing. Is MCR understanding that you actually GOT the award, not that you simply qualified to earn it?

I'm used to seeing warning from MCR about, "This award must be redeemed before you log-out of this session." So, I would redeem it immediately. I'd also consider that the demand for this would be high, and would want to redeem it ASAP.

I'm familiar with those types of rewards (enter a code and as an added bonus submit it for an entry in a sweepstakes, etc.), but that isn't what we are talking about in this case.

It just amazes me that we've gotten so beaten down as a consumer group by these programs, that we actually look for ways to blame the victims in these scams. Or at the very least, act like we wouldn't fall prey to their doublespeak because we are somehow superior to someone else.

I'm not sure I quite understand the distinction you are drawing, but at the moment, Coke is telling me to get lost (and if their employees don't completely understand the situation, they have more problems than just administering a program). However, Coke is taking a beating on their MCR facebook page, and it is acting like it might change its position.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't have waited, and wonder why people would wait. I would guess the T&Cs probably said something about while supplies last.

The Minute Maid promo appears to be similar. Last night, I redeemed 10 caps for a $10 Fandango reward and I received a notification (in the upper right hand corner by the user name), as follows: "Congratulations! A free Fandango movie ticket is now available in your Unclaimed Rewards. Navigate to the Unclaimed Rewards tab in your Full Profile to claim it soon, as supplies are limited."

Too bad they wised up on that as when they first announced it I tried small black caps from CZ and unlike last year, this year they did not.

This redeeming (but not claiming) and then the reward goes out of stock has definitely happened in the past with MCR. A number of times this exact problem has arisen. In some cases the item was re-stocked and re-claiming was possible. Unfortunately, the normal solution (by MCR reps) was to return the points spent for the redemption. While not a park ticket, I would certainly request the points be added to my account (at least 60pts for caps) if a ticket will not be made available again in the future.

If MCR is incapable of doing the right thing and provide everyone that already redeemed their MCR codes the ticket they earned, there is a very simple solution. Since they seem to have plenty of Cedar Fair tickets that they are willing to sell for 1,000 MCR points, rather than return the 60 MCR points or more that were forfeited by customers pursuing this promotion, give all of them 1,000 MCR points and let them manually redeem for the amusement park ticket. Of course, based on my interaction with Coke so far, I'm sure that is beyond their problem-solving ability.

What is to ensure those people redeem for the tickets if they are given 1,000 points? I could see people being awarded the points, holding on to them to redeem at a later date, and the tickets being out of stock when they did go to redeem. Then, MCR has to deal with the, "Now I can't redeem for this," again. I didn't pay attention to the specific wording in the promo, but I would be willing to guess that it included something about supplies being limited. If one failed to claim an award and it then went out of stock, how is that MCR's fault?

Reminder: today is the last day to get a $10 iTunes card for six diet coke caps. An e-prize, not MCR so if you have diet coke caps you have used on MCR already you can use them for e-prize since they use different databases.

text "BREAK" to the short code 26739. Then, input the requested
information to confirm your date of birth. If you are eligible, you will
be required to enter your Cap Code. Your Cap Code will be automatically validated and you will receive 1 entry into the Sweepstakes.

Thanks for posting, has to enter 6 codes, but it worked

Yep, six codes. Remember if they have NOT been used for MCR you can still get your 3 points for them. That is why I always save a variety of used MCR caps for e-prize. Sometimes they come in handy!

Changes afoot on status?
 

While my status shows up on mycokerewards, it seem it's impossible to earn status at the present. I can't seem to find anywhere to gaining status points. I wonder if mycokerewards is finally going away from social networking as a requirement for status..... or perhaps coming up with some tweaks.....
