Sweet. And no inflation in point value.

Just snapped up 8k points.

Thanks!

Looks like a 6 to me. What do I win? :p

Disclaimer: I didn't read your code nor redeem it.

I am not sure you are aware of the "risk" for posting your code in a public forum. Someone might have "cracked" the code and redeemed it by now. Without your "permission" of course. There are numerous "incident" reports from FW already.

Don't be surprised if you follow cepheid's advice and get the error message, ""code has been used" or something.

ps. As you already know, all the letters are capitalized. "b" is definitely not a possible solution to start with. ;)

That's fine :)

I've tried redeeming this for like a week now, so I pretty much consider it a loss. If someone else redeems it that would almost make me happy since then at least Coke wouldn't come out in front by not having to redeem twenty points ;)

It isn't six, I've tried that. I was thinking that it might be a totally different letter, that is sometimes replaced with that weird symbol for some reason. Maybe someone else here has seen it before, because a normal six on an MCR code doesn't look like that IIRC.

If you don't think it's a 6, try an 8... might have gotten messed up during printing.

Have you tried an "O?" Looks like it could be a dirty O.

More (a bit belated) on Delta's tactics
 

FWIW, here's what happened to me: I sold a few Coke Rewards codes on eBay (not realizing it was illegal, since there's _nothing_ on any of the certificates or at Coke's site to remind you these codes can't be sold), but never touched any of the miles in my account. Without any warning whatsoever, Delta froze my account (I'd rather not state exactly how many miles, as I already feel like they've been more or less stalking me--but suffice it to say it was a fair amount) and informed me by second-day letter that I would not be allowed to open another, or to recover my miles. The letter was sent to an address not associated with my eBay OR Paypal accounts (somewhere I haven't lived for several years)--for all they knew it could have been a coincidence of names. Got an ex-girlfriend or -boyfriend you're pissed at? If that person has a SkyMiles account, sell some Delta miles under her name; they may well freeze her/his account to punish _your_ sale.

I've seen from old FlyerTalk posts (from some years back) that Delta used to at least first send e-mails to people selling miles, to warn them that the transaction was not allowed and was punishable by miles deductions, etc. Looks like they're figuring now that they'll gain a lot more by simply ripping off their own customers by freezing accounts--great strategy, guys! It's the first rule of succeeding in business, after all: Piss off your customers!

Again: Never having been a member of FlyerTalk or other similar boards, I simply didn't realize promotional codes could not be sold--I knew account miles couldn't be sold (which is why I've never tried to sell my own miles from ANY airline), but since nothing at Coke's site mentioned the rule, I went ahead and sold the codes I had. Of course, if I'd had no connection whatsoever to Delta--or if I'd registered on eBay under a different name, because I _knew_ what I was doing was illegal and was deliberately covering my tracks--my account would have been left untouched. Because I broke their rule innocently, however--_and because I'm a customer_--they screwed me as well as they could. But then, that's completely in keeping with the customer treatment I've seen from Delta over the years. Delta's a sh***y airline; I'm looking forward to toasting their eventual bankruptcy. In the meantime, fortunately, I still have enough miles on American, Continental, and U.S. Air to last me through at least a couple more years' worth of vacations. And I'm looking forward to urging everyone at my workplace (a large university, with plenty of scholars and international students who fly internationally _a lot_) to fly with Delta's competitors whenever possible.

Can you tell us how many are left?
 

Divilish: Can you tell us how many of the PriorityClub 500 point awards are left?

whatever it is, its minus 8 after this morning.. glad I am hording points and waiting them (MCR) out for some good rewards

Priority Club gone
 

Those must have been among the last at 6:55 a.m. because as of now, 8:35a.m., there are none left.

Perhaps Divilish can tell us how many were made available and if it is likely that they will reappear in the future.:(

Email customer service with your best guess and tell them it doesn't work. It takes about two weeks, but you'll get credit for it. I had about six codes I couldn't get to work and got points this way.

Wow I'm glad I got to it when I did which was actually 5:00 to 5:30 a.m. EDT; i just didn't post the above till I got to work. I was actually inputting more codes this a.m. and then was going to do more after lunch to get a couple more but I guess not.. wow those went fast

By Jove, LegalEagle, PC awards are gone!
The only reason I even went to MCR.com Monday was because I had found 26 caps in recycling bins on Sat., so I had 2 wait till Mon. to upload the last 6! I hit 500 points exactly & goose-egged my MCR acct. immediately for 4x500 PC points!

Gone in 14 hours?? (5 PM Mon.--7 AM Tue.) ??

TrojanHorse, U lucky insomniac, U! ;) :D

PC points
 

Ouch.....

They had 10,000+ is all I remember yesterday.

No way that many were awarded in less than 24 hours.

MCR must have pulled them back for some reason. Possibly they were too cheap?

when I saw that these were out there, I immediately went to MCR and started redeeming as I couldn't believe that there wasn't any inflation. I fully expected the price to increase significantly IF they ever restocked.

I have to think then that they are re-pricing now. It would make sense based on what they did with all of their other good travel redemption awards.

If they had 10,000 of these, you know darn well that they pulled them back.. I mean in 24 hours that would mean that they are redeeming over 400 per hour for each and every hour over a 24 hour period.. maybe there are that many people out there and maybe there are that many who check back often or it could be a bunch of people like me who hord points till they find something they want and then go nuts when they find it but I seriously doubt it.. MCR had to pull these back

Brendan, as for not sleeping, I always get up early for my coffee and to check FT.. but usually I'm looking to get in on some sort of air/hotel deal that went out overnight but I guess in this case mcr was the lucky strike for me
