My Coke Rewards Point Requirements practically Doubled!

Well, I got another 330 points and went to redeem for a free movie ticket and large Coke.

So much for THAT idea!

An AMC movie ticket and coke is now 485 points!  I used to thrive with the free movie ticket (no free drink) for 200 points; then I was disappointed that I had to get 330 points for my free movie ticket and drink that I could easily pass on; but now, 485 points?  Holy popcorn Batman!  How am I going to get my monthly movies?!?

Anyone else sick of all these rewards sites reeling you in to join and then jumping up the rewards requirements like crazy?

How am I going to get to see Clone Wars for free?  WAAAAHHHHH!

Thanks for letting me vent!

I'm sorry they jacked the price on you :( I only use them for magazine subscriptions because everything else is too high for my itty bitty consumption of coke...
As for how to see the movie free...I have no idea on that either, but best of luck!

I use to get a movie tickets there, but not anymore will just watch less movies or find tickets some place else. I feel like DN many of the best prizes are gone to fast.

I don't think we'll ever have enough coke rewards to get a prize. My husband has been bringing lots of pepsi points home that he finds at work.

I haven't been to coke rewards for so long they took away the 279 pts I did have. I have some here on my desk but haven't had the heart to start over with it.

I'm sorry they are jacking up the price on prizes. I drink coke but usually give my mom the points because she uses them for the kids.

I just commented on how sick I am of this happening on another persons post from another website doing the same crap! Like I said there, at least Gather thought this out a little better then the rest of these sites. I've been here the longest and they are the only ones who haven't said "Okay everybody, time to earn 5000 pts to get the cash option now."

I barely drink cokes, so I've only cashed out for free cokes. That's rotten that they've gone up!

Coke rewards, hmmmm, haven't heard of that one.

I never could save many coke reward points don't care for coke products that is to bad they had to raise the amount you need guess everyone is doing that now days
Connie C. Aug 5, 2008, 6:41pm EDT
I noticed they hiked the pice up on several things. :(
Marianne R. Aug 6, 2008, 1:12pm EDT
I noticed they hiked the point price up on a lot of stuff that was an on-going reward.

The girls have been diligent about saving up their codes and entering them and three times now they have had their prize end up cancelled because Coke was out. I know they had their eyes on something for Xmas so if hte price went up they are sure going to notice and I dont think be happy about it at all.

No kidding! I just looked at the prizes for the first time in a few months. What a disappointment! Guess I'll be sticking with my el cheapo free Coke or Minute Maid coupons (though they're not actually free since we have to pay CRV here... sigh).

Hey Rachel, I hope your day is going well and that we can all help you earn enough to get those home depot gift cards to make repairs on your house.

I have entered several codes, but never tried to redeem any yet. I've been thinking about the Subway card though... My son actually likes their food and most days, I just am not in the mood to cook lately.

I noticed they did take the requirement up for some things. I have gone back in a month later and the points requirement dropped again. I get my magazines through coke.
