Using AMOE vs a code should be irrelevant. We have been using AMOE only, and have gotten #16 seeds as well as #2 & #3 seeds, and a variety of single and double-digit seeds in between.

I have also enjoyed this point redemption option over the years. In various locations when you find a machine (DFW airport for example) it was nice to save $$ and burn points.

It has been "refreshing" :D to see MCR reload rewards and add new ones with the program ending/changing. I would guess the odds for a sale/discount or other promotion has increased before June 30. I am points poor so it does not matter what happens in the next few months...

I just redeemed the last of my points and I must admit that it feels a bit liberating to be done .

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread and offered advice to maximize the program.

I think you just have to get the 13-16 first, lots of them to give away. I've been using the AMOE and gotten a couple 4s and 32 teams now, of course 16 of them are the 13+ and my friend gets a 3 seed after I told them about the contest. It would be nice to get some 1s and 2s, decent odds for the big prizes if a 1 or 2 seed wins it all. I wish they had some AMC rewards left, my nearby theater just became one. I've got 11k points to spend and trying to maximize them. Anyone have an idea what the new rewards will be? It seems like they're keeping codes but having instant rewards, maybe more events like the bracket or past Christmas events?

Maybe they'll go back to the old version, where 1 in 6 caps was a WINNER of a free 20 oz coke product.

+1.

The best use I got from MCR points is using them at the vending machine as I buy coke products in large packs from Sams Club so it's nice to save that $2 on the go.

Especially love the feature where your MCR card supported Apple Pay so there was no need to carry around the physical card.

What is the profile limit on the AGC? I got three last month and then it said my profile had reached its limit. So I waited until March 1st thinking it was a monthly limitation. Sure enough, I got one on March 1st, but then the same profile has reached its limit after that.

Although it has every 7 days in the redemption rules it is actually 8 days so you should be able to get one on the 9th.

Are folks still entering codes? Or holding them now hoping the new program is better since so many rewards are unavailable?

I'm trying to use up my flaps and save caps figuring the new and unimproved program will give you the same what-ever using anything from a cap up to a 35 pack code. I will leave 30 points in my account just in case they offer a 30 point 12 pack coupon as a goodby present :D

This is how I'm burning my points off as well. I never had enough points for website redemptions (other than one Amazon $5 code and a couple of 12-pack coupons at holiday time), so this is the only other way I've ever redeemed points. Only machine near me is in a fancy mall that charges $2.75 per bottle, doesn't matter as it's always 30 points, bought 3 today and one of those caps will bring me up to 31 points to redeem one last time.

I feel it..... I've drained my account except for the balance of 110 points. With 20 oz reward merchant unavailable in my area, my account is pretty useless except for the above possibility. Crossing fingers.....

Apparently I can't read (or they changed it, but the first explanation is much more likely :o) -- the World of Coke ticket expires 3/31/2018, so I can use this after all. 7 points left in my account :)

Enjoy your visit to the World of Coke. I have been once with redeemed tickets from MCR. The tasting room was quite memorable. One can try a variety of sodas like "Bitter Lemon". While not my kind of drink, it seems a popular flavor (or flavour) with those from the UK. Have fun.

I only have about 1K points combined left in a couple of accounts. Hoping for the OzzyOzzie 30 point 12-pack coupon reward to end the MCR points program...

For anyone in the Coke NCAA bracket challenge, the 'no value' prize awaits for making it past the first round. Actually it is out on the WWW for anyone to download LOL. Next round win will also have a retail value of $0.00. More wall paper awaits?
