Coke Rewards- More Points Needed for a Drink

[BridgetBordeaux]

Not sure if it's been posted before, but I just noticed I was charged 30 points for a bottle of Coke. It used to be 24 points. That's a 25 percent increase.....YIKES!

If I had only known, I would have spent all my points before the increase. It looks like the change happened on Jan 1st.

The program is horrible now! I used to get $25 Virtual Simon Mall Visa Gift Cards for 625 points, then I would immediately order a Disney gift card with it online. Then in 2008 I got the Royal Caribbean Wine package (5 bottles and tips included to waitstaff) for 1580 points- it was worth about $170!

So last month I got my latest reward, a $25 Southwest gift card for 1000 points. Not as much bang for my buck (well, points....)!

I agree. I keep hoping it will get better but it has been almost a year now since I got anything of great value or use. I had gotten the visa three years ago and a chilis gift card last year...I wish they had more of them!

I just don't get these posts (PP). These things are free.

I got so many different GCs last year. Chili's, TGI Fridays, Walgreens, Southwest, Nike. Cards I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I am going to drink coke anyway, so getting something for free for doing it is just Lagniappe to me. It's a hobby and I love getting things for free. Yeah, at one point about a year ago, I had almost 6000 points cause there wasn't anything that interested me, but I have since found things to spend them on. Just today I got another $50 Nike Card. DS can now get that pair of shoes he wants. I really like the program. Guess it is all how one looks at it.

Logged on yesterday to find they had added and run out of Chuck E Cheese gift cards. Wish I had seen them in time to take advantage.

We used about 1300 points a couple of weeks ago for the Bones Season 5 DVD Set - retails for about $50 - like a previous poster - hey - it's free, I'm going to drink coke anyway... so I might as well save the points and get free stuff! I free stuff!
