Coca-Cola Rewards--not so much - Page 2

As far as corporations are concerned, one should not hesitate in filing claims against them if in any way they breach their contract, whether explicit or implied. After all, they would not hesitate to do the same to you.

They are obviously not going to help you or they would have already done so. Make one last effort to contact them but use certified mail instead of email. Use proof of receipt with the letter. In that letter, let them know that if it is not settled to your satisfaction within X days (say 14), then legal proceedings will be initated without further notice to them.

If they still won't help you, I would then file a claim. Include in the cost of the claim the cost of the claim, the cost of the certified mail, and the advertised retail value of the DVD player.

Let's assume you win judgement. You can offer to settle it for the DVD player shipped to you at their expense plus the extra charges. This would cost them less than the claim because they get the DVD player for cost, not retail (being the manufacturers). If they do not settle in 30 to 60 days sell the debt to a collection agency and buy a DVD player with the proceeds.

Do not give up. It's what they want you to do. They are ignoring you and hoping you will go away. Don't go away! Instead, keep at them until they give you that DVD player.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and I have not tried doing the above. So it might not work as I described.

I think a letter from crazy town is worth more than a DVD player!

Drink Pepsi, Two thumbs up for Pepsi, Two thumbs down for Coca-Cola!

Coke took over a hundred points from me when I was unable to enter new code when computer crashed. I started saving again. I had over 300 points which suddenly one day just vanished. eventually, coke reinstated my points. Most recently, coke advised me that my points will expire soon if I do not enter new code(s). When I try, I only receive message that my session has expired. I have a shopping bag full of caps that I have not had time to enter yet because they only allow you to enter 10 a day (though I advised them I drink more than that). Coke is a thief, a swindler, a crook. Taste can adapt over time and RC is starting to look pretty good. For those of you who say Coke rewards works fine; give them time - they'll screw you over too!

You drink over ten cokes a day? My friend, that ain't good.

Clodfobble · 05-27-2008, 09:42 AM

Coke is just betting he'll be dead before they have to redeem his points.

Undertoad · 05-27-2008, 04:44 PM

10 caps indicates bottles

Smallest bottle is 16.9 oz; most common is 20 oz; apx 1/2 litre. Over 10 bottles indicates 5 litres per day or more.

You probably have bone loss and minor malnutrition

This is more important than loyalty programs

Don't slow-poison yourself.

yeah, all that soda is really, really bad for you. strip the enamel right off your teeth, for one thing. Give up the habit and be freeeeee!

I drink nearly that much diet coke...

I was completely off the stuff for a couple years, but my usage has slowly increased to near-record levels.

glatt · 05-28-2008, 08:04 AM

I don't touch soda any more. Even if it's free. Only time I'll drink it is if I'm thirsty and there are no other choices. That stuff has no value and is bad for you.
