Old thread I know - but wanted to add my two cents (or 5 cents). It was /is a poorly managed program - Coke likely felt was more detrimental to their brand. The last time I checked the US site was much more robust and well maintained. This program was more pathetic than anything.

I disagree - I received a lot of free movie tickets and had to do nothing to get them other than drink the pop I would have anyways. For me, and I am sure many others, it was a great way to get something without changing our behaviour/purchasing habits.

It was great 5 or 6 years ago. Got coke glasses, stuffed animals, movie passes, pizza pizza gift certs., concert tickets, hockey tickets and tons of magazine subs. Then it seemed right after the promotion where people were sending videos in of them singing to win a chance at doing a duo or something it completed died.

I agree - you could get autographed goodies, etc. While free movie tickets are nice, I think to myself big deal considering all the other areas you can get them for free, M&Ms, Energizer, etc.

I also agree. We used to be able to redeem for a lot of stuff... I have over 100000 points and in the last 3 months my only options are movie tickets.. and we never go to the movie.

So right now I can either get 6 movie tickets or 200 entries into a contest.

They just sent a message stating that they've lifted any limits remaining on movie tickets.

You can always try to sell them off.

"Enter For Your Chance to Win 1 of 50 Microsoft Surface 2 Tablets"

That means they will draw 50 times right? I think that might be my best bet that tablet goes for $400, the next best thing is the $200 VISA gift card.
