[...] MyCokeRewards vs. PepsiStuff – The post I sometimes wish I had never written. It’s number one with a bullet and far outpaces everything else on the site. Readers seem to like to comment on it, too, but I recently turned those off. The truth is, I pretty much stopped drinking the stuff over a month ago in an effort to resolve a health problem (tinnitus). It didn’t relieve the problem, but I don’t feel any worse for not having all that caffeine and aspartame running around my system so I now only very moderately consume diet cola. [...]

I also redeem my caps in both promotions, pepsi ran out of prizes fast and take a long time to bring them back. I had enough points for the 2 way walkie talkies but by the time i was ready to redeem them they were gone, and havent been brought back, so i settled for a couple of t-shirts. Coke has a better promotion right now a little more variety. but some prizes cost more points now than before.

I participate with both program. It drives me crazy mycokerewards will only permit 10 codes per day. Bottle caps tend to collect in a big pile until I have time to enter them. Pepsistuff doesn’t care if I enter 20 at a time.

I redeemed 75 pepsi points for a vintage 1940′s t shirt.
It took several months before it would ship. Finally, got the notice from Amazon that it was shipping. Several days later, I get a notice from Amazon stating that the credit card used for the shirt was declined. After calling Amazon and checking out details, the credit
card account was a corporate one for Pepsi. I told Amazon that the t shirt was no longer offered and that the Pepsi points had been deducted months ago. Amazon tried several things and I was persistent. Finally a supervisor was able to work it out. Big Thanks to Amazon or I never would have gotten it. It was a problem on the Pepsi end not Amazon. Strange but true.
I’ll stay with 5 pts downloads now.

I used my 30 Pepsi points (roughly $37.50 value) on a drawing for a 8GB Zune. Uexpectedly one showed up 5-6 weeks later. I googled it and found that I could buy one for $160. I think that I am coming out ahead. This drives my Coke drinking friends crazy. Now if only the large screen TV would show up.

p.s. Btw, I also recycle aluminum cans as well as plastic and glass bottles (in California, we can get Cokes from Mexico made with cane sugar in bottles; no Coke rewards points though)

I find that the Coke rewards points add up to be worth about 4 cents a point (that’s about 12 cents a cap). Pepsistuff points add up to about 20 cents a point, however, I have got more of a variety of items from mycokerewards.com including a portable dvd player, a sandwich maker, and a dvd/vhs player and several articles of clothing. I have only purchased several cd’s from pepsistuff.com. But most of the cd’s that i’m interested in are the ones I already have.

Mycokerewards has several gift cards. At the onset of the program each point was worth exactly 17.5 cents. ($100 card for 570 points). There have been several devaluations. Each point is now worth exactly 4 cents. ($25 card for 625 points).

As an indivdual could have been saving for a large prize, initially a laptop was on offer, many thousands of points were often reduced in value. Essentially it is a bait a switch, a fraud. Unless you quickly redeem points for a small item you were likely robbed. The amount that some have been cheated out of exceeds a $1,000.

I have also been saving the Pepsistuff codes and already redeemed enough to recieve two dvd’s. Now after saving enough to get another dvd, the selection has decreased to less than one page of dvd’s. And of that selection there isn’t much very intresting. The selection in the other catagories has really deteriorated too. I’m very disappointed with this promotion. Coke is starting to look a lot better.
