My coke rewards is far better, you get more for less caps. I agree with you. My coke rewards is far better, you get more for less caps.

Yeah, I wish each cap was worth more points, the stuff didn't cost so many points, or that they were better MP3 downloads to choose from. The way I look at it though is- If I purchase pepsi (usually go for pepsi or coke-whichever is on sale) I save the caps and enter codes. If I don't purchase pepsi some weeks then oh well. I am not going to buy something just to be able to enter into something or get something free. I learned my lesson on that a while back. Why complain about points and all that?

Then subtract that amount from the lovely chart above. The download isn't free, but neither is the soda. Unless you're buying the soda for the points only, and pouring it down the drain, adding up the cost of the soda and saying that is the cost of the download is pretty ridiculous.

The other end of this post deals with the amount of money that you spend to get a free Mp3. If I were a consumer who wanted to benefit from this promotion, I may think that the more Pepsi I buy the more free Mp3s I am to get. The uninformed consumer could spend 30 dollars to get 1 Mp3. Why? Because the 12oz 12pack of soda throws the whole equation off since you pay a lot more for very low points. So as Homer was pointing out, its not wrong for the consumer to be informed about this discrepancy. If they choose to participate in this promotion to get a "FREE" mp3, they now know which pack has the best deal for it. If you were participating in this promotion would you rather pay $30 or $5.99 per Mp3 Yes but thats just half of it.

You are Paying to Drink Pepsi. You are being rewarded free stuff for Drinking Pepsi. You are not paying 7.59 for a download. You are paying 7.59 for Pepsi inwhich you drink. By purchasing Pepsi, Pepsi will give you free stuff. You are forgetting that you are buying and drinking Pepsi. You are Paying to Drink Pepsi. You are being rewarded free stuff for Drinking Pepsi.

As for as him being an Idiot it looks as though a signifigant amount of work went into this post. Why can't they question if the mp3s are a deal or not I guess some people just agree with everything they are told and never question it. Keep up the good work remember if they call you name you probably hit close to home. Maybe if they had had all the mp3s available that would make it a better deal not just the songs nobody likes.

If you want to do the the math to maximize the amount of codes you get for the amount of Pepsi that you buy, then that is your business. The codes and the prizes that they buy are still FREE, IDIOT!
