Does anyone else feel duped?

I have been saving my coke rewards for quite some time now, and today I thought I had enough points to redeem them for a Marmot back pack (600 pts). So I log on and I am three points away, and decide to take another peek at the rewards and there seems to be NOTHING left, no PSP's and no Playstation 2's, no coke clothes, no more backpac (only the more expensive one) I'm a little bit

I'd e-mail Coke. I haven't been playing but you might be surprised at how responsive some companies can be. Can't hurt anything to send them an e-mail.

This entire My Coke Rewards thing has been a joke. They would have been better off just focusing on a few rewards instead of having such limited quantities of a lot of stuff.

Pepsi runs far better promotions -- I just got three movie tickets and $20 cash in the past few months from their promotions. Plus a few ringtone downloads.

I have just been redeeming my Coke points for Hilton points.

Definitely email them. About 4 years ago Pampers had a "points" program and you could collect them and redeem them for baby products and toys. It became so popular that they couldn't keep up with the demand. The products sold out and they ended it the program. Of course, this was before I redeemed all my points. But they still honored the points in cash. They sent me a check for around $60.

We redeemed our points and got a PS2 had it for a little over a week now. Didnt cost us any shipping or anything. But yes we are dissapointed we wanted several things that went out quickly so when we saw we had enough for the PS2 I told my DBF we better get it. At least we will get something that was on our list. But we wanted the PSP and some coke things as well. MY DBF is/ was trying for the TV for 20,000 points. Not sure if still available and not sure if we will reach the goal. But yes there is somereally stupid things you can use your points for. I hope that they will get more items in but probably not.

These promotions typically change the gifts offered as the promotion goes on, and indeed, as the promotions go on typically the value of the gifts decrease at a certain points value. This helps better correlate brand loyalty with the reward: Folks who achieve the reward levels quicker get better rewards.
