Same here as I get nearly all my codes from family and some of their friends. Kelloggs went the same way with their rewards program and I quit doing it. I can handle the current way of doing things of entering X number of codes for a free movie/theme park ticket, or whatever the promotion may be. But I'll be done if they totally do away with codes as I rarely buy soft drinks.

Their magazine gold reward had TV Guide for only 250 points for a year. I thought it a decent deal as I haven't found it free anywhere. Especially when the new coke.com reward site looks so bad I was happy to use 250 points for it and a lot of the rewards are going out of stock at mcr.

Here's an article about the upcoming change. A few hints, but still nothing definitive:

They are doing the NCAA contest at coke.com starting today. I got Eastern seed 1 as my second entry.

g

Currently they are giving 5 free daily entries with the alternative entry method for the NCAA sweepstakes. They will probably reduce it to 1 a day soon so hurry and get some free entries.

Thanks for the heads up, g!

I entered caps in yesterday for some entries and ended up with a 9 & 10 as my best ones.

I used the 5 free entries between 2 accounts tonight. Scored a 2 on account and a 3, 5 & 6 on the other.

g

Cool on the 2 .

I got a 1 and a 9 and the rest of mine are multiple 13, 14 and 16.

You only get the extra entries if you scan the code via your mobile device? Sigh-I can't do that.

I entered 5 times - got the following - 16 Seed-Midwest - 15 Seed-West - 16 Seed-East - 15 Seed-South - 12 Seed-West.

I didn't use a mobile device. There is a link in the official rules for alternative way of entry. Go through link and get free entry. Currently giving five entries. But it will most likely be reduced to one. Its still a total of five entries a day but if you use the link you dont have to use cap codes.

I used the 5 free entries yesterday, and wasn't as lucky as some of you. I got 1 6 seed, but the other 4 were all 12 and lower.

I actually got South 1 and 2 yesterday on my account which shocked me, but everything else on both of our accounts have been turds.

rassi

Thanks for the tip about the free entries. Saves me having to enter codes.

Nothing so far above a 13th seed.

Can someone post reminders here when we need to check for winners when the time comes? I don't think I'd remember...

Trevor

I think I have all four number 16 entries. #winning

rassi

Finally got a #3 seed and a #8 seed. Getting my 5 free entries per day...

Seed 13 South
Seed 14 East
Seed 14 Midwest
Seed 15 East
Seed 15 West

No idea at all what this means.

When does the actual tournament begin?

rassi

Odd - had my first two "not a winner" games today. I haven't maxed anything out from what I can tell, there are a lot of seeds I don't have yet. I don't even yet have a team for each 1st round game. Wonder how this happened?

The Cow

College Basketball teams will be selected to the different slots in the bracket (the seeds). If your seed (team) wins a game you win "stuff". The farther they get in the tournament the more real the prizes.

The tournament starts March 14th, but the Coke thing doesn't include the First Four, so the Coke thing begins March 16th.

Obi-Wanma

You're not going to be able to get every team. They only give out a certain number of entries for each team. There are less available entries for the high seeds then their are for the low seeds (because the high seeds are more likely to win, so they limit what they actually give away).

If you're starting to get "Not a winner", they may be getting close to the limit of what they're giving out.

I've been playing every day and I still only have a 6 and a 9 and a bunch of stuff 12 and lower.

Obi-Wanma

So what's the "Refresh" thing they've got going on this year? We get to pick new teams starting from the Sweet 16?

Deftones

finally got 2 decent seeds, an 8 and 5. everything else has been mostly 13-16, with a few 11's.

Whiskey Warfield

Thanks a lot for the explanation, me and sports go together like salmon and peanut butter. So first level, probably a coupon, second level a coozie, etc

rassi

4 of my 5 entries today were "you didn't win"... Got a 10th seed for the other one.

Obi-Wanma

I got 3 out of 5 that were not winners today, but I finally got a really good seed with one of my winners. 3 Seed South (other winner was a 10 seed, which is still better than most of what I have so far.)

Deftones

I was 2 for 5 today, but got an 10 seed and a 12 seed.
