Double Coke points on April 7th

I just got an email from Coke rewards and it said that on April 7th they will double all coke points. I don't drink coke, but my hubby sure does. He likes the caffeine free diet coke. and my grandson likes sprite. SO I get a few points every month. not much so I trade for some on another site. so I can get my hubby free cokes. every time I trade for 23 points. I cash it in for a coupon for a free coke product and that includes Disani water. I love having these coupons in my purse for when we are out and about. I drink a lot of water and these coupons really come in handy. they send them in the mail but it only takes about 2 weeks to get them. Good luck and I hope you have lots of coke product caps on the 7th. Even my mama gives me the points over the phone so I can use them. she lives 5 hours away but she is able to save them for me and call them out over the phone. So tell your friends to save you those caps. dasani water is good when you are out and about. When I am at home I drink my well water. it is soooo good.

Yah! I received that e-mail too. I am holding on to my Coke points until the 7th to enter them. We are saving up for something great. We don't know what yet!

Thanks for the info!

This might sound gross, but DH gets them out of the recycling bins at work. I love it when they have a party because he'll bring home the cardboard from the fridge packs. He doesn't root through the trash to get anything, and since they are responsible for taking out their own recycling, he just takes the caps when it's his turn to empty the bin.

Nothing wrong with a little dumpster diving as long as you clean up afterwards

Sometimes there could be great treasures in there. One mans trash is another man's treasure. I can't do it with my body. being disabled. But If I could. my head would be bobbing up and down in those things looking for treasures. If I was about 20 and had my health. I would go at it. Just tell him to wear some thick rubber gloves is all. don't want him getting hurt on any broken glass digging that thing. I know you are not talking about a dumpster, but it doesn't hurt to be cautious with the thick gloves. you just never know what people will throw into a waste basket now days. enjoy your coke points! I hope you get bunches.

Doesn't sound gross to me. Sounds like a great dh.

We love Coke memorabilia.

I don't know if you guys know this, but Coke now rewards schools. Your kids school can create a school account and you/other parents/grandparents/neighbors can either donate the caps to the school, or can donate points directly from your account to the school account. The rewards for schools are pretty decent - art supplies, books, gym equipment, etc.

I do the collecting and inputing for my dd's school, so I will definitely be taking advantage of the double points day.

Do the points double automatically? I entered 4 lids and 1 12pk code and it only added the usual points. Am I missing something or will it show up later?

You know, I think it's only doubling for Powerade points. :(

the email said all coke codes would be doubled on April 7th. I just put in three codes and none of them doubled, i think they must be having technical problems. I was thinking about using their contact us button. But I don't know if it is worth the hassle or not.
