Coke Rewards Gift Card Promo

[ShiPooOwner]

It seems to be working fine right now at 5:15 CST. Disappointed that the limit is one.

got my one about 10 mins ago, without any problems

 

[littlezar]

Just got one 5 minutes ago.

Sorry for those of you that had so much trouble with the promo this year.

I logged in about an hour ago and got one easily. I'm not happy that they changed the limit. The original add with the limit of 4 is still showing on the FaceBook page. Someone messed up!

 

[disneybirds]

I was able to get one as well. I would have loved to get 4, but I will take free Coke anyday.

 

[erincon23]

I just got mine.

 

[tinkerbell615]

Couldn't get on about 12:30 am, but was able to get one about an hour ago without a problem.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

Just got mine

I am waiting for them to give an official response to the customers who are complaining about the "Limit One." I've been watching the facebook since last night (not constantly, but here and there,) and some people are REALLY put-out.

I admit that I am annoyed, having set an alarm to get this deal. I expected the site issues (happens with all the good deals) but the change from 4 to 1 was upsetting... If I'd known, I wouldn't have given up my sleep for a $5 deal.

The people who are most upset, and I believe have a right to be, are those that bought coke products specifically to get 4 coupons and are now "stuck" with the points.

I keep checking back hoping that coke will make good on their deal and not alienate their customer base like this. But not a peep out of them yet. What REALLY burns me is the people who are logging into Facebook and telling everyone to "quit whining" and "be grateful for anything at all." Ummm... no...

I really liked the person who just wrote "entitled" to slam the angry customers. Actually, yes. If the customers made a purchase expecting something in return--that had been advertised for over a week, in multiple locations, in WRITING-- then yes, that customer is "entitled" to the promised compensation.

I understand the meme "entitled" as it is used as a slur against people who want something for nothing... but that doesn't change the fact that sometimes you really are "entitled" to something. If you sell me a car, you are "entitled" to the money I promised you. If I pay you for a car, I am "entitled" to the car I paid for.

I hearby launch a campaign to bring back the positive meanings of "entitled."

I spoke with a supervisor at MCR today. She said that the limit of 4 was only for people that ordered through Facebook YESTERDAY.

They have since taken the picture of the limit of 4 off of their Facebook page. She said that there's nothing she can do except share my comments.

Edited to add... she first said that the Facebook page was not an "official" MCR page but once I pointed out that the link on the MCR page brings you to that Facebook page, she gave me the answer above. Personally, I think that someone screwed up and now they're just covering themselves.

 

[Zhoen]

Well, while that is total BUNK (on their part, not yours), at least it is some form of official response. Let's see if they have the nerve to put it in writing anywhere. I say that because I haven't heard of anyone getting 4 yesterday, either...

I'm glad I sold my stocks earlier this year.

 

[daughtersrus]

They have responded via Facebook as a comment.

My Coke Rewards We apologize for the confusion. You can still grab the reward on the website this morning. There was a limit of one per person to ensure that more of our fans could receive the reward. Thanks for your understanding.

They posted this under the early release status for the "social exclusive" which was actually on Tuesday.

Just logged in and the Home Depot card is back under "my special offers"! I tried to get another one but got the error message that I had already ordered it. But anyone who missed it the first time should check their offers! The coke coupon is still available also.

That is not true at all. The FB promo was limit 1.

 

[sayheyrenee]

Actually the facebook deal yesterday only allowed one. The CSR's have no clue what they are talking about

 

[Zhoen]

That "sorry it's sold out" blurb is a cut-and-paste they have been doing for the last hour or so... BUT the card is *STILL* available (if you haven't already gotten one AND your browser can get through.)

So, no, nobody has gotten 4 that I'm aware of, not today, not yesterday. And it's not sold out. What a mess... this is their most-loyal customers they are messing with.

I tried to get the Home Depot but the only thing that comes up under my offers is the Coke (which it won't let me get a second) and Shutterfly. Is there a way to get HomeDepot? I did not buy it earlier.

It does stink but to be honest, I will always be a Coke customer. If a restaurant doesn't have Coke, I drink water.

I know folks who are like that. Honestly, I'm brand-agnostic, my choices are Coke Zero, Pepsi Max, Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, in that order.

If they are all the same price, I'll pick Coke Zero every time. If Pepsi's on sale for $.99 and Coke's $1.19, I'll pick Pepsi, every time.

Like I said, folks are mainly just p.o.'d because they feel they were deceived. People are comparing it to politics now... can we all say "transferrence?"
