I have been a rewards member for years but thats about to change. I purposely bought this brand for the reward program bonus,, but now ill buy whatever,,,,,
Need to have better prizes. Coke, you are a multibillion dollar company w/ great partners. Please provide your loyal fans with a wide variety of prizes.
Lame - $#*! "contest", amounts to a big waste of time. How long did it take for the wizards at COKE to come up with these time wasters. Lame. Give yourselves and "F" and fold up shop.
Absolutely worthless why even bother having a program, waste of time. Don't even bother! Bring back the old program! No incentive whatsoever to use this program! SUCKS
ALL the money i spent on Coke in my lifetime, ALL the points i' ve saved (and can no longer redeem) ALL the time i've spent (with these Coke Rewards Catalogues) looking at junk 'prizes'... and. NOW. NOW. NOW. Coca Cola is offering me a banana and a bag of chips. (limit - one!)@CO 7-11. With a 7 day max redemption! WHATTAN INSULT! HOW MUCH LOWER WILL 'COKE' GO? A LOT LOWER I'LL BET!
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but the only thing I saved for was the magazines. The new ones is sweepstakes and social media links. I wish they'd bring back the old one. The codes are worthless to me now.
Waste of time. If I put the time into saving the codes and then entering I should get something, not get chance at getting something.
In the past I have entered and saved points and redeemed for NIKE gift cards - awesome deal and I have several pairs of great running shorts thanks to Coke. HOWEVER, the new website now has levels of Status that you have to achieve (bronze, silver, gold) in order to get the different tiers of rewards. I wouldn't mind this except that the ONLY way to get status points involves whoring out your social media accounts as free Coke marketing. I choose to be extremely minimal on social media for a reason and Coke isn't going to be the thing that changes that. Watching videos, taking surveys etc isn't a bad idea and I would participate in those but the caveat is that to get your points you have to also tweet or post of FB that you did it - that's waaaaaay too intrusive and controlling and the rewards offered aren't worth it. Basically if you aren't willing to sell out and give Coke free marketing you should skip this rewards program - not worth it anymore.
The previous MCR program was fun and -- wait for it... -- REWARDING! Now you can get DISCOUNTS? From PERSONALIZED BOTTLES? WHO CARES about THAT kind of stuff? It was FUN to be able to rack up points & get free 20-oz sodas! THAT is (was) a reward, right? I can NOT believe Coke did THIS to the program.
No reason to pay the high price for coke product now, before with the old rewards program you actually had a reason to save points. Now just a waste of time. I be drinking something cheaper now!
It wasn't always as bad as it is now, but don't worry it will only get worse. They're replacing w a truly awful program that looks completely worthless. What a slap in the face.
Very disappointed in the new program! Bring back the old program please! Can't even bank your points now. How they thought this new program was better is way beyond me!
How disappointing the new site is. Why change a good site? Now, I have bags and bags of caps I have been saving since March and for what...
VERY DISAPPOINTED... Not sure like many that I will even keep these caps at all. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Facebook? Twitter? No thank you. How about 276 shares of KO? How about a decades-long consumer who purchases overpriced 12-packs when they're not on sale? One who used to be called a loyal consumer with over 4000 points but can now only redeem at a bronze level, excuse me, bronze "status" because I don't live on social media? That's insulting and a shame. My status as a customer is determined if I tweet? How stupid! Do I buy more Coke or Cheerwine? Or RC Cola? THAT decision, of putting a carton of Cokes or Pepsi into my grocery cart is what SHOULD drive a consumer loyalty program. MCR is supposed to be, or started as, a loyalty program. Coca-Cola and MCR, you've ventured too far off the path and have lost your orientation.
I won't be voting as the board recommends next time - an upper management that tolerates (maybe even encourages?) the alienation of loyal consumers is not worthy of my support. Actually I don't care for Pepsi but I own PEP too. Their shares over last 5 years have trounced KO. Maybe they treat their consumers better? Maybe I should find out...
It takes a lifetime to enter codes now. I also hate the pesky reminder to add twitter and instagram. Please go back to the old site, the new site is 2 steps backward.
If what I have seen so far of this new rewards program it is not a rewards program at all. I guess I will switch to another program and drop drinking coke products.
I guess it's time to drink Pepsi. I always went out of my way to buy Coke instead of Pepsi because of the rewards. Now that they've done away with that incentive, I'll be drinking a lot more Pepsi.
Been a member of coke rewards since 2010 and seeing what the site has become enraged me. 2 and a half years later and coke has done absolutely nothing good to benefit me or consumers in anyway. I spent those same two years complaing to coke about the absurdity of its "rewards" program and nothing was done whatsoever. I've had holidays and birthdays ruined because of this crap. Worthless charities forced on us which I will never waste caps on unless I get something in return and equally worthless insta win offers you will never ever win and if you do its just an entry just to win which again you won't get anything. The final straw was making the easiest items like a 2 dollar Amazon gift card or a amc voucher insta win. I'm sick of the crap cokerewards has pulled. Two and a half years of garbage they've pulled. There was nothing wrong with the original rewards program and they change it into something worse. I've called again and complained and voice my concerns and again coke doesn't care. If people put more pressure on the company and its sham of a rewards program maybe things would change. But then again they won't.
I kinda like this new way where you can Donated your pints unlimted access to help the red cross out for the people in texas the only thing is will they get the creit?
I have been using this site and entering codes for some time. First I used the points for merchandise which, to be honest, was not very good. Then I went for the sweepstakes, which apparently they have now stopped (or I do not have enough STATUS to enter). They recently overhauled the site to make you jump through hoops on social media and be a shill for Coke to get STATUS, the sweepstakes link doesn't work and the BRONZE REWARDS (which is the STATUS you start out with) are meager and marginal. Don't waste your time doing unpaid marketing work for Coa-Cola.
Answer: I still buy Coke products... but I've starting buying other brands and now split my Coke product purchases by 50%! If more customers did that, maybe Coke will wonder where their fizz went.
Answer: I'm not sure. I know prior to the change I was getting a lot of emails announcing they were updating the program with new rewards, etc. it seems like they either upped the points on my favorite rewards and/or put more restrictions on point submissions. "Update" seemed to actually mean "downgrade" the program.
Answer: They're arrogant and think that they are too big to fail.
