Coca-Cola my coke rewards

From the beginning, Coke has made it almost impossible to acquire points for their "My Coke Rewards" Promotion. The web site is hard to navigate (primary smoke screen to keep you from inputing codes for points), the ccodes are hard to read and it takes musch time to discern before being credited with points, then once you've gather enough points they remove the item you were trying to redeem your points for.

Coke lacks integrity and honesty in their business practices!

Pepsi and Rc Cola are looking alot better every day (and they taste better too!)

Agreed, there is no integrity in the rewards program. Current day Coke rewards is VERY poorly handled. Over the past 6 months I have tracked my reward entries, the rules and winnings for each event.

I have entered over 300 codes since around July of 2018, which is irrelevant for this topic, but I wanted to demonstrate that my experiences is more than a few days or weeks long.

None of the events post any winners at the locations that is listed in the rules.
For example look at this:
Here is the link to the rules for an event that has ended. At the bottom of the rules page is a link to the "Winners List", included also.
Rules: https://us.coca-cola.com/en/legal/59425/

In fact I have never seen a winners list that isn't empty:

Over the life of this program, I have watched the weekly point total go from 10 codes, to 120 points, 100 points then 75 points making take forever to earn a reward.

I have cashed in at least 20 free movie tickets complete with Popcorn and Sodas. I am going to miss it.

But... It is very frustrating when the codes are skewed by the printer. If you call the 800 cocacola number, they will credit you your missing points.

I am trying to redeem my points for the My Coke Rewards. Everything is out of stock in the catalog. This is ridiculous. They need to restock.

I purchase 12 packs of cans of Diet Coke. More and more, I am having problems reading and entering Coke Rewards Codes. The codes are printed inside the card board box in such a way where the code can't be read. Coca Cola is doing this intentially. This has prevented me from recording a minimum of 30 points this summer alone.

I am having problems with there site to. my main problem is when I am coding in the number and letter that when I'm typing, not all goes into the box. I also having problems with this noise like I'm getting a message and then my curser start going round and round in a blue circle and what I was typing has froze and not going into the box. I only have this problem with Coke website. I thought it was my computer until I bought a new one. I'm still having the same old problem. I contacted coke about this but they won't respond back. the rewards to buy with your points sucks with the new site and working it is a problem for me to. I hate the bronze, silver and gold stages for prizes. I hate clicking the SEE MORE to have to click it again because there website did not let me see all prizes. I loved the old site much better. I wish they never changed it.

here is why it is a scam, I have close to 2000 points which most of them 1400 have been entered for over a year, I just didn't see anything worth buying, I had already gotten the Rechargable hand Vac (OK) first one was DOA, Wireless headphones (again cheaply made and sounds thin) the Weather Alarm LCD Clock (I like that one) the LED retractable Pet Leash, again OK. But I tried to redeem for a weekly Magazine and now they are saying I cant get it because it is a locked item? I already got this item a year ago? But here is the nasty part, NOW in order to gain status (remember I had the points built up before this new program started) I have to promote for Coke in the form of Sharing their promoted events, Musical download sites, Water Parks etc on MY personal Twitter account. Sorry but I am not going to provide Time, Labor, my computer equipment and Internet acces I pay for to provide links and pictures information of their promoted services bands etc! BUT it is the only way to open the Silver and Gold Catalog.
Remember Advertising on sites and in media is very expensive. So Coke is circumventing paying these fees by having US provide a target population base (our Friends and Public that view our posting). It is the same as posting a link, Picture, contact information for an Automotive Dealer and link it with a quote This is a great place to buy a car I highly recommended you to call them or Go (insert contact information Street address). Remember this is false as you can publish the share without ever having participated. What if the (add Coke event here) isn't good, you gave public testimony for them and purgered yourself. Coke even auto-populates what they want to say in your share! If that isn't forcing Labor from you to advertise for them or you cant redeem your points for a specific item even tho you have enough points entered! I don't know what is?
This is a perfect example of a large and powerful Company getting away with forced Labor, disguised as a free product program...(IF You don't take your time and your personal equipment and internet service you pay for and work for us by Sharing for us, which advertises our sponsored product/services, you don't get your prize! I cannot believe more people havent seen through the Rewards Program...Coke gets the rewards by increased product sales and free advertising..

They have limited everything in this program. I went to Florida for 3 months and when I came back they stripped me of 1200 points. Screw Coke.

Coke Rewards stole my son's points because we could not log in to enter points in time. Had to send out our laptop for service. As big as this company is and the $ they have you think they would only take a percentage of points like 10% instead of taking all 1500 points. Just broke my son's heart for something he was saving up for. Switching to PEPSI!

A very poorly written e-mail from some scam artists is making the rounds telling people that their e-mail address has won 500, 00 sterling in a drawing---of course, this requires a boatload of personal information to "collect". How dumb can people be? I think Coca Cola should locate, prosecute and sue these scammers, --after all, they are fraudulently using Coca Cola's name. Then the scammers should be made to pay off the people to whom they lied! That would teach them to try to take advantage of foolish people.

Coca-Cola coke rewards!

I am getting very upset. I cashed in coke rewards in Nov 06. I have not got the item & it tell me it's still processing. Same problem in May 07. Used reward to get a gameboy game, still got received. I have called them several times. I got e-mails telling me they were looking into it, a month later, I call yet again. They will look into it.

STILL I HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR ALL THESE POINTS. IT SAD, SINCE I AM REALLY A COKE FAN.

Coke rewards is a big scam anything associated with coke is they have not delivered many prizes. I know many people who buy coke just for the rewards even though coke taste horrible I will stick with the very small companies who treat their customers fairly!
