My Coke Rewards Review

My husband and I drink a lot of soda, so it was only natural that we would register for My Coke Rewards.  I was excited and constantly went in there with every bottle of soda we got just to get my 3 lousy points.  That was it - 3 pts per bottle, no matter what size it was. 

I quickly realized it would take us a long long time to get enough points for anything good.  I was aiming for the 285 point photo album from snapfish, or something of equal value.  Either way, we only had 75 points after a long long time of doing this.  Turns out, we don't drink soda as much as other people do because there's no way we could get 285 points that fast!

Various times they alerted me that my points would expire if I didn't enter a new one in within the next few days.  I would tear apart the house looking for a bottle we may have missed, or tell my husband to make his next purchase a coke, just so I could save my points.  Well.. it finally happened.  Our points actually expired this time.  BOOOOOO.  I just hadn't had time to get a coke!  I don't understand why points would ever expire.  It seems like the majority of the population would have their points expire because they don't drink coke every week or they don't remember to visit the website.  I believe we were up to 80 something points.

Now I just don't care.  No more My Coke Rewards for me!  Even if I start it up again, who knows if I'll get busy for a few months and lose all my points again.

This program is a waste of time unless you seriously drink Coke products many times a week AND you visit the website weekly to ensure you are actively adding new codes.  There are really no good prizes until you hit about 200 points and up.  The REALLY good prizes you can't get unless you own a school and steal all the students coke bottles!  Don't bother otherwise.

PS: I never know when the promotion will end.  Apparently they already extended it once, when I had no idea it was about to end until I got the email saying the extended it.  So what if you save all your points and they then end the promotion?  You'd have wasted your time.  Once again.  BOOOOO
