Summer Soda Promotions MyCokeRewards.com vs. Transformyoursummer.com

Started by EricFriedman · 1 year ago

This post has little insight into the latest marketing and advertising trends but is rather my feelings on the summer soda promotions being put on by both Coke and Pepsi…

Begin rant

I actively play the ridiculous coke bottle cap game www.mycokerewards.com. (I started playing and now multiple co-workers provide caps almost daily) It has been […] ... Continue reading »

  • i am just trying to check ONE! bottle cap from transformyoursummer.com i cannot find out how to do it. all i get is a stupid survey, one that wants you to participate for eveything they can think of. does anyone know how to get on the site, and just check the cap??
  • Hi Marilyn,

    Are you trying the official site: http://pepsi.yahoo.com/transformyoursummer/ ?

    Give that a shot. I know that you need to sign up for a YahooID which is not so bad - great for Yahoo - and of course can be used for any of their services like email or any member login page.
  • After taking the 3 to 5 min survey which took almost 2 hours I finally closed out and started over at my cokerewards .com and tried to find out where to enter the codes. No luck . I'm swirching to Pepsi. (not)
  • How do you check out the codes on the caps
  • I have tried for thirteen days to get on mycokrewards.com to no avail. What is going on and did you DISCONTINUE the promotion? OMG!!!! I hope not!! I have collected sooooo many and am trying to get them put on my screen name for the site to get prizes. PLEASE say it ain't so!!
  • i've been trying for three days to get in to mycokerewards and they won't let me in, i'm getting pretty tried of it i love coke put with all this hassel i might start to drink pepsi instead.
  • WHY DOES ANYYONE HAVE TO GO THROUGH A 100 PAGES ON YOUR WEB SITE TO "FIND" THE PART THAT JUST SAYS "ENTER YOUR CODES HERE" FOR PRIZES AND POINTS>>>>>>EXPLAIN? THE FIRST TIME I ENTERED YOUR WEB SITE I HAD NO PROBLEM FINDING THE PLACE TO ENTER MY 100 CODES... I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DO 15 or so...
  • From JILL PLEASE I NEED HELP TRYING TO ENTER MY DIET PEPSI CODES ON http;//pepsi.yahoo.com/transformyoursummer/ and I can,t please send answer to my e-mail address with complete answer jcsbeachs@Yahoo.com thanks jcs
  • I AM A COKE DRINKER AND HAVE COLLECTED SEVERAL CAPS. BIG DEAL, I CAN'T CHECK THEM BECAUSE THE COKE SITE IS ALWAYS DOWN OR IT TAKES AN HOUR TO ENTER THEN NOTHING HAPPENS. WHAT A CROCK. I HAVE SINCE STARED DRINKING SAMS COLAS THEY'RE GREAT.ANYONE OUT THERE WANT MY SACK OF COKE TOPS?
  • I've been doing coke rewards since it started and just looked to see what prize I might want. Well there is nothing left worth getting. I'm not real happy with coke. I hope they add more prizes before the game is over.
  • ive gotten several great prizes through cokes promotion - we have used about 6000 points and received things like coolers to a watch to their lawn chairs - i dont see how anyone can complain when all of this stuff is free
  • I have 1700 coke reward points and for the last 3 days I cannot even get on the site. Perhaps they were made that I was getting so many points in? The main compliant I have is that it was a Mother/Son adventure and we collected them everywhere, including under bleachers at my nephews football game. I have friends and family sending me caps all the time. Now, what isnt fair is that we were saving points for a Wii game systems and wow, suddenly they do not have anymore to give away. I doube anybody saved the 6000 points it took to get it anyway with the 10 code limit. I am a cokaholic so I will probably remain faithfull but I am not happy about the site being down and then changin rewards just when you think you are getting somthing good. Oh, Like we also wanted Kings Island tickets. WE had enough to get 2 tickets and when we tried to redeem it said something like "no longer available" errrrr
  • I HATE THE WEBSITE!!! I enter in that i want the dollar couupon off of the twelve pack of coke zero. It takes the points but says that I have exceeded the maximum time of coupons printed. That would be the third!!! coupon that i have tried to print. I emailed customer service and had a machine automatically respond to my question. Im still waiting on an actual human and that was days ago. If cokes goal was to gain more customers I think they fell way short.
  • What happend to all the prizes when my son started collecting there were tons of prizes now there is nothing are they adding more to the my coke site?
  • THERE ARE NO PRIZES ,
  • liz-November 28, 2007 I have been trying for a month to log on to the site to enter more codes and now it is all different. why has it changed. What do I do now
  • It is truly pitiful when a huge company such as "Coke" takes advantage of it's most loyal customers. We purchase and therefore likely consume gallons of thier products to obtain the "cap codes" and then are not allowed to redeem them because the site is forever more down due to maintainence. I suppose it will be the same old story, it will be down until the contest is over, or causing one to re-register and therefore losing the points already gained. Personally, if "Coke" can't render the site usuable, they should reimburse each and everyone of us the costs of the points already entered and then refrain from ever again concocting such a poorly managed contest.
  • I just read your article about the coke rewards wedsite - I cannot believe I finally read something I agree with. I have been complaining about the website to anyone that would listen but unfortunately I can't let coke know as there is no ccontact me info on the site. The site is slow, doesn't let me see the entire screen so sometimes I can't submit something since I can't see the submit button, therefore, can't get to the next page..... thanks for understanding.
  • Coke offered double points for June 25th. I and my kids tried different times to log in, but couldn't (system busy response). Coke has not responded to any of my emails asking for remedy and appears to not be doing anything about this problem. I did as they promoted and wanted me to do and they did not hold up their end of the bargain I guess it's back to Sam's Choice for me. Coke has definitely created Ill Will with me
  • I enter 10 codes every day at 11:00 am sharp. I have received 10 prizes, and have never had a code expire. New prizes come up periodically. This is my favorite website!!!!!
  • I haven't had any trouble on the site. I do think the 10 code limit is dumb, but I'm putting 10 in every day, hoping that I can win just one nice prize.
  • I agree - they should not expire either.
  • we have been doing this for a while now and have gotten probably 25 different things - i dont understand how people can complain when everything on here is free - people need to quit whining when the site may be down and understand that tens of thousands of people are on it daily
  • First time doing the coke rewards & I enjoy it.
    One problem, when you are going for that one prize & you see that it is gone it is a disappointment. Why dosen't coke put more prizes (electronics) in the catagory list?
  • i need not to comment because the force is strong with young padawon.
  • What?
  • This seems to me to be a scam by COKE since it is impossible to get to a screen that lets one enter the cokes. I may have to learn to like pepsi with my rum.
