Free Ticket to see Indy 4 - Kmart Ad
Check your K-mart ads. If you buy 4 2-liters of Dr. Pepper you can get a free ticket (up to $7) to see Indy 4. Limit 4 tickets per person.
We got 3 of them today.

I don't know any theater in Los Angeles where you can see a movie for $7, even at the matinee prices - so if K-Mart actually says "free", they are being pretty presumptuous and basically lying. They should just say "up to $7 off".
K-Mart is such a depressing store. The few times I have had to go in there, I feel like I'm in some third-world country.
I do like Dr. Pepper, though!

I stopped in my local K-Mart and purchased the 12 bottles of Dr. Pepper. Murphy's Law would have it that the employees didn't know anything about the tickets. Apparently, in small text at the bottom of the page it says something to the effect that a receipt will print out with a code where you can go online to print out the tickets. But nothing printed out from the register. I pointed this out to them with no luck.
They did take down my name and number, saying they were going to put in a "help ticket" to figure out how to get me the tickets.
Can anyone else comment on their experience? Did you get a physical ticket or a printout for online redemption?
On an unrelated note, after several years of being a frequent visitor to this site, my lazy butt finally registered as a user. Hopefully I can pay it forward and help others in this forum score a deal much as they have done for me. Hopefully me raising this issue will be my first small step towards that goal.

For each 4 bottles a separate coupon with a code on it is supposed to pop out. I saw an example of one on another site. Then you put the code in (up to 4) & print out the tickets. If they didn't give you the tickets with the receipt I would've refused to buy the soda.

At least K-Mart isn't technically lying anymore. I really dislike AMC theaters, though, as they run countless tv-commercials and endless trailers before the film. But I guess if it's "free" (all those advertisers are paying for your ticket, by the way), we can agree to sit through those loud and annoying 20+ commercials pounding into our head. I would never pay to go to an AMC theater considering I'd then be paying them to watch Coca-Cola and car commercials. No thanks.In any event, I still do really like Dr. Pepper. It's got a lot of fizz and tastes really good. I like the burn.

Anyway, my experience mirrored yours. The manager at my local K-Mart at least knew about the deal but didn't know why the coupons didn't print out. The best she could do was give me a form to mail in (basically, a rebate form). I have to pay postage and wait "2-3 weeks" for receipt of my tickets. Since I will be seeing the movie on release day in just 11 days, that makes this deal worthless for me as well. I'll be going back later this week to see if I can find another manager to argue with.

There is a big display in the Van Nuys/North Hollywood store, but the price is $1.59 a bottle... I never pay more than 99 cents for a 2 liter bottle of soda, so I passed.

Has anyone been able to get to the Activate step on kmart.com's site? I enter my code, enter my personal info, but there's no next button to get to the Activate step. If I press the enter key, it just gives me a pop-up that says I must agree to the Terms and Conditions, but there is no field to indicate this. I sent an email off to Kmart's customer service, so hopefully they can fix this.

K-Mart? Are they still around. They closed two of them by me almost a year ago and the other one is falling apart. You couldn't pay me to walk into that filthy store.
