Whenever someone tells me what a great thing they're doing for me I tend to look extra hard for the hook that's going to make me their dinner. I got an email from Coca Cola a while back telling me they had "Great news: we've made big improvements." They also announced that this great news was that there were no more daily code limits. That is to say that you can enter as many codes per day as you want. There used to be a 10 code per day limit. They then go on to tell me that there is now a 120 point per week limit instead.
Now I saw the lack of glitter in this immediately. I even wrote to Coke and told them off for insulting me and they wrote back with a point rundown that SOLIDIFIED how badly they're limiting their players. Let us look at just a few of the comparisons. All of the products are this way.
20 oz bottles (the closest we'll come to a "deal") are 3 points each.
Old system you could do 10 per day. That equals 30 points per day. Seven days in a week means you could do 210 points per week.
New system limits you to 120 points per week. That is 17 points per day. That comes out to 1.7 codes per day limit.
12 pack of cans = 10 points
Old system let you do 100 points a day for a total of 700 points per week.
New system is 120 points per week. That's 12 codes per week. About 1.7 codes per day
24 pack "fridge pack" = 20 points
Old system let you do 200 points per day for a total of 1400 per week
New system is 120 points per week. That's 6 codes per week. About 0.85 codes per day
But it's all ok because they told us it's "Great news" and a "big improvement." So that makes it better for us.

Okay, honestly, I drink a lot of soda everyday. But 10 20-oz bottles? Not even I do that. Or ten 12 packs? No way. Who needs limits like that.
Coke is just trying to get morons to kill themselves. (Which may not be a bad idea ... does the Darwin Awards know about this?)
