I am sure you’ve heard of My Coke Rewards. If you haven’t been updated on the situation, it’s important to note that the whole program has been revamped. On June 30th, 2017, My Coke Rewards bid farewell, and Coke moved onto bigger and better things. Coke ended up donating all of the unused MyCokeRewards points to charity. I wanted to share what is happening now with the new program and how you can take advantage of what Coke offers now.

Does My Coke Rewards Still Exist?

The answer is no. My Coke Rewards does not still exist. It was phased out in 2017, and a new program was introduced in its place.

If you do a quick search, you will still be able to find out information about it, but the product codes no longer work, and Coca Cola brands have moved to a new program.

When Did My Coke Rewards Phase Out?

June 30th, 2017 was the last day in which Cola brands and partners had anything to do with My Coke Rewards. Any points that were left over were donated to charity. Your chances to win were decreased, and you could no longer enter codes. The Cokes Rewards Program was ready for something different, and that is just what they did!

Can I Still Enter my Codes?

There were two different sides with the former My Coke Rewards. There were codes and points. When My Coke Rewards phased out, so did all of your points.

However, you can still enter the product codes in the new program. The Coca Cola Company Account decided to donate the unused points to charity.

If I had points with My Coke Rewards Where Did They Go?

As mentioned before, the previous Coke Rewards App was retired, and if you had any points to use up and didn’t use them, they are gone.

Coke donated all unused points to Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Junior Achievement® for charity.

  1. What is the new system? I have a pile of coke reward codes to enter but m now totally confused on what to do with them and whether or not they are of an benefit to me.

    1. This is all explained in the post. It is your decision whether the new rewards and incentives are a benefit to you.

  2. If I wanted to donate to charity, I will donate to charity. Give water to the poor. It’s a better karmic investment. This is now just a scam to get tax credits. Adios, coke.

  3. I loved the old Coke Rewards. This new program isn’t even worth the hassle. I like Dr. Pepper more anyway so now it’s easy to make the switch…

  4. Terrible! All these lids and no more reward points given to earn anything. And I mean EARN. Buying the Coke was an investment. I tended to gravitate buying more Coke products cuz of the incentive to earn a free Coke product here and there. If Coke is so motivated to donate to charity, why don’t they do it like other companies? For every x # of product purchased, they AUTOMATICALLY donate a percentage to charity. Tjis us actualky giving them an excuse NOT to donate.
    Time to investigate Pepsi and see if they will reward my giving them my business!!!!

    1. I couldn’t have said it any better! I have 2- One gallon bags FULL of coke & Sprite caps and I’m still not clear if we can use them or if I’m looking more like a hoarder of expired caps that I may hot glue together to make a garbage can!

    2. I agree! I thought they were valid, but NO! I have a box full of codes and caps that I could not enter due to the “limitations” placed.

      My feeling is to send them back to the company and let them figure out how to “donate” them to a charity! I enjoyed getting a Coca-Cola product every once in a while but not anymore! Maybe I should toss out the toaster that still works, or the hot dog cooker! My Coke Rewards was a nice program but the company got their money and now want you to give to charity. So disappointed in Coca-Cola.

  5. The user interface for the “new” rewards program is troubling. Have all these codes but can’t unable to find where (how)to enter the codes. Too much hassle and not worth the trouble. Given up on My Coke Rewards program. I’ll buy other beverage from now on just because of Coke’s scam.

    1. 1 star
      What a joke!!!! Some don’t even take manually and the scan doesn’t work! I have a lot to do and it’s not worth it. What a shame!

    1. I can find in any statement in the original that state that the coke rewards will expire in the original claus contract wrote up! And how can you rely on digital electronics where any new new one could be placed same as lottery tickets and so forth so wonder how much it would cost them to take the information I have to court id say a hole hell of alot i c
      Got a coke rewards cap and one day it said I do. The. The next said this is no longer of valid use? So i say what would it cost to take that to court for the coke company brand and how is it slander when the company promised something… Cout ahead is what I say… Ty

  6. Then can someone PLEASE explain why there are still codes in caps and on flaps of 12 packs? This irks the hell out of me enough to revert back to the Pepsi side of the tracks.

  7. Donald,
    I seriously doubt we the not only consuming consumers of copious amounts of Coca-cola products would stand a chance in small claims court, even if Johnny Cochrane and his “DREAM TEAM” of attorneys could win a settlement for clients like us. It’s a nice thought though. I guess I’ll put those 2 big bags of Coke product caps and and the nearly 2″ thick stack of codes printed on the 12 packs and case cardstock packaging away just in case 🤞… stranger things have happened…👽

    Then can someone PLEASE explain why there are still codes in caps and on flaps of 12 packs? This irks the hell out of me enough to revert back to the Pepsi side of the tracks.

  8. What a complete waste of time of cutting out and saving codes for years then to find out they are worthless now!!!

    1. If you read the post it specifically says the two charities. “Coke donated all unused points to Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Junior Achievement® for charity.”
