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’re looking for to use My Coke Rewards, you won’t be able to because it’s been retired.

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.

Do I Need to Create a New Account for the new Coke Rewards Online?

That is really an individual question. Some may think it is worth the time and love the rewards or being able to contribute to their school, while others may feel it is tedious, and a waste of time. I say give it a try and you’ll figure out pretty quickly where you stand.

  1. I used to get things not now which is fine. Then I donated them …… why save them NOW? Are they
    of use to anyone/ anything?

  2. Coke Bottle cap codes and Coca Cola are a waste of time. Drink Pepsi, they redeem their code caps.

  3. The Coke Rewards program actually had rewards for their customers that were worth the effort of trying to read poorly printed codes on large packs of Coke. Now it seems that a code of a 24 pack has the same value as a single 16 oz bottle. It really isn’t worth the time of doing it. But they did tell you in the terms and conditions that they could change the program anytime they chose to and they did. Can’t complain. I did get some great rewards too. It was good while it lasted, but now it’s worthless. Besides, I’m clearly not the target of their current marketing campaign, so I don’t matter to Coke Corp anymore. Lots of people tell me Coke is bad for you. I think they’re nuts.

      Totally agree I am no longer target of their marketing campaign. This and many other products don’t seem to think my dollar matters. I really need to think harder about where my dollars are going.

  4. You could recycle the coke caps. And I agree with all of you coke has become the big greedy company of the world. But PEPSI is still a great company and even test better. So just go Pepsi. & the he’ll with coke!

  5. I’m done with coke too, I’m not going to be less white, and I’m now a Pepsi buyer, Coke company are user and they make me sick. Pepsi is my soda now,I won’t let my kids bring in coke at my house. They laugh at me but I mean it 👎🏻👎🏻🤮

  6. I buy the 12 pack cartons with cans. Coke still prints the reward codes on the insides of the cardboard cartons. But there’s no place to enter them. Coke really made a mess of this.

  7. I’m considering filing a class-action lawsuit against Coke for fraud in their reward program. Any lawyers out there think that there is a leg to stand on? They encourage us to save the codes but have no means to redeem them, except for donations, but that’s not how it’s marketed. Why keep distributing the codes if there are no rewards? Bait & switch all the way.

  8. Now more than ever is when we actually need the REWARDS! But apparently, Coke doesn’t care about their LOYAL (since 2006 for me) customers, so why should we help them out by still buying their products over other companies? I even emailed them asking if they’ll ever do rewards again – to receive with points, not money – and I just received an automated response on how their program is always changing – they couldn’t even take the time to physically read and respond to a loyal customer!

  9. As a senior citizen, I can tell you I have been drinking Coca Cola for more than
    65 years. There’s nothing that compares to it. It’s the best cola on the market.
    Believe me, I’ve tried them all.
    My Grandmother, who’s now in Heaven, and I always had a 7oz. bottle of Coke,
    each, after cleaning, gardening, cooking or just….. because we wanted one. That was 67 years ago and I’m still drinking it. I drink 2 to 3, 12 oz cans each and every day.
    The best way to get the full flavor is to pour it over ice. It’s the Best!!

  10. 12 days of christmas was great and movie tickets and giving to schools and saint judes china wow were usa number 1 pepsi is usa and is sweeter but i do love cherry coke

  11. poor, poor, poor…poor I am a loyal coke drinker.. have over 500 caps collected which are apparently worthless, and this scan, apply, give this website control of my device is really a big disappointment. It is a joke which just insults and is offense to product loyalty. I feel conned.

      Well said, I’m not a do gooder – I like prizes, sweepstakes, coke products. I;m selfish, make it worth my time. I’ve moved on to Diet Dr Pepper and orange products. It is such a shame, My coke Rewards was so good!

    2. Yeah Im so angry I just found that out and I had been saving them for years. It is a waste of time if they want to donate they should just donate. What the hell codes are needed for? I sent a email to them saying it. I will not have no problem drinking pepsi or something else unless its on sale for now on. I feel like burning them all up.
