[Merged] Reminder - Icoke.ca movie passes.

[ZenOps]

Collect 6,500 Icoke.ca points and reedem them for 1 movie pass.

I've seen a lot of 2L cokes with the Pins, they are worth 500 points apiece. Also:

"During the month of April get 1500 iCoke CoinsTM every time you enter 5 PINs (up to a max of 10,500 iCoke CoinsTM)"

So you would need to buy ten 2 litre cokes (probably $10 or so) to get a movie pass this month - and have a some points left over. Not too shabby depending on how much a movie costs in your area.

[biznatch]

also, if you have a 'vip' icoke member ship (you agree to let them spam you) you can redeem for 5000 points.

[lhsonic]

so basically, in BC, movies at our decent silvercity theatres are like $10-13... meaning it's watch a movie and get lots of 2L pops :cheesygri

[doogle]

also, if you have a 'vip' icoke member ship (you agree to let them spam you) you can redeem for 5000 points.
I became a VIP and haven't received any spam. Main restriction: not valid for IMAX. Passes I received this week don't expire until April 30, 2009. :)

when you signup just hit the VIP button, icoke doesnt send you any mail at all, ive gotten a total of 3 in the past 6months

you could also go around looking in blue bins for empty coke bottles and just take the cap off, ive gotten a few liek that and it takes seconds well worth it

btw if anyone wants to join give me your email, i can refer you and get 500 pts myself:twisted:

Cineplex (http://www.icoke.ca/buy/detail/movietickets) aren't.

Considering movie ticket is at least $10, each cap is worth at least $1.

Wouldn't the free coupons from cereal deal be better (cereal range from $2.99 to $4.99)

Not if you scavenge recycle bins. :)

Also, cereal coupons good only until May 17th and only Sunday - Thursday.

refer ur self. make more email addys lol. ive done this and it works.

[mahjongmaniac]

I've seen a lot of 2L cokes with the Pins, they are worth 500 points apiece.

i believe the min. pts you'd get for each pin is 500

i don't drink pop that often but for the participating coke products i've seen that have pins, they get you at least 500 pts.

Not if you scavenge recycle bins. :)

***off to the bottle recycling depot in a hurry***

a lot of the "to buy" prizes always seem to be sold out....

you have to check v. often...

refer ur self. make more email addys lol. ive done this and it works.

i'm sure it works initially but if they find out what you're doing, just watch them invalidate your acct and/or pts...


for those who are wondering, you get 500pts for each referral that signs-up....

[jayslay]

refer ur self. make more email addys lol. ive done this and it works.

i have done that a couple of times, i used my 2nd email and school email and it worked fine, ive run out of emails to use now hehe :)

[Manik]

it would be smart if we start a chain. like for example one person refers another. then the refered person refers another person in list. lol and i just claimed a movie pass lol :)

[dinesh_zee]

Cineplex ticket for 5000 points seems to be gone..
It's been replaced with Cineplex Night Out for 24,500.. http://www.icoke.ca/buy/detail/cineplex-nightout

[VenomZeus]

24,500 has to be a mistake on their site

[Ammut]

24,500 has to be a mistake on their site

Unfortunately I don't think it is a mistake... nice how it was posted just before the regular movie passes got taken off the site. 5 movie passes vs 2+pop/popcorn? I know the theatre stuff is overpriced but I don't think 2 pops and a popcorn have the same value as 3 movie tickets.

In the past they had 'dinner & movie' deal which I believe was $25 gift certificate to Kelseys and 2 movie passes for ~28000 pts, that made more sense. Oh well, I'm glad I loaded up on tickets - I got 8 so far this year. I still have 60 000 points to spend so I hope something else good comes up. And yea, I drink a lot of coke :cheesygri

[jayslay]

i hope the movie passes come back b/c i have 40000 to spend on it, everything else sucks

[Manik]

pissed of on April 30th i ordered another movie pass for cineplex. It still says processing. And its sold out now so what do i do? Will they send it to me or not? If it is over 14 days do i get my points back or they give me some substitute or something? Can someone post the number I should call to tell em to do something?

[maidennomore]

I apologise if this is a stupid question, but how can I become a VIP icoke member?

edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

[doogle]

Cineplex tickets for 5,000 are back, limit 4 per week (I think it was 2 before).

http://www.icoke.ca/buy/detail/movietickets

[BinaryJay]

I didn't realize the icoke points were worth anything, I never bothered with the whole thing before.

I live in a condo which generates large amounts of sorted recycling, I wonder how many points I could glom if I went down there with my rubber gloves every week.

[jabbilabbi]

Just grabbed myself some single tickets, better deal then the night out imo.

I've noticed pepsi is doing the same thing now... Anybody know what you can get from them?

[jackboot]

Thanks for the update :)

[jabbilabbi]

Thanks for the update :)

It wasn't just an update, if you read the whole thing.
We don't need your bogus +1 post count posts.

[ASharp]

I tend to drink a bit of coke and didn't think I could actually get anything worthwhile out of them. I have about 16k iCoke points accumulated so I decided to get 3 tickets. Thanks for the heads up to...well, whoever posted. I probably wouldn't have gotten these movie tickets if it weren't for the thread.

Now...just gotta wait a couple weeks to receive them. :(

[Ammut]

It wasn't just an update, if you read the whole thing.

doogle's post was an update, the cineplex single tickets have not been available for quite some time. I also really appreciate the update, I just went and ordered 4 (the max per week) as I was waiting for them to come back. They are a much better deal than the 'night out' IMO.


We don't need your bogus +1 post count posts.

We also don't need snappy attitude. But hey, since it is free I'm sure some RFDers will take it.

Now, please tell me which post is useless - my "thanks" or your "you shouldn't have said thanks" post.

Like others here, I wouldn't have known that the movie passes were back in stock if doogle hadn't updated.

[jackboot]

Hey Doogle, thanks again for the update :)

thanks!
i was saving for the night out, but i ordered one ticket instead

[sb_tor]

Thanks doogle. Have been waiting for this. No doubt the admit ones will get sold out again.

[jayslay]

i just bought 4 and then i tried to buy another 4 and it allowed me

before they only allowed you to order 2 per week, guess that has changed

[wiebecj]

thanks OP! picked up 2 - have been waiting for these

[HSK]

I want gift certificates!!!

Who remembers when they had Cadillac Fairview Gift Cards?

[newfbc]

Check your order status..

When I looked at mine today, it said I ordered 4 @ 20k
then 1 @ 5k
then 2 @ 10k

for a total of 7. I only ordered the first amount. Weird.

Mmm.. just wondering if anyone knows if these will work on pass restricted movies? The ones marked with (NO PASS) at the theatre.

Ordered Sunday, received today :cheesygri

As far as I know, yes. I've called them before and I always get an answer that the iCoke passes are acceptable for any movie. I had heard that it was the cereal coupons that are the passes not allowed but I have used those many times on NO PASS movies also.

Empire went and gone within a day or two, I was lucky to get 2 of them before they went sold out. Hopefully they get them back as I was hoping to get 3 or 4 of them.

[sPiKyAZN]

I just got a random 1500 pt PIN from icoke on my cell. I sure hope I get more of these!

Anyone see how much the Simpsons animation cels were? I just saw the email, and no surprise sold out. I imagine probably at least 20000 coins.

I don't care about those, I want the 5k Admit One tickets back :D

lol... no he is talking about a promotion that iCoke did a few times offering two movie passes for the price of on (5000 points)

[jayslay]

wow 125000 for some cels?? and it sold out pretty fast, i didnt know people out there had that many points to jus use on cels

[bolthead]

Whew! Yeah, I think I saw they only had 12 or 15! I don't think I could have afforded that with all the points I have spent in total! Even if I could have, not sure if I would have, despite being a Simpsons fan, as the movie passes are a better value (unless one were to ebay it, which I wouldn't have).

[bolthead]

Add more movies passes icoke!

[slippy]

yeah they're sold out of everything
nothing good to get anymore

It's been almost 2 months since movie passes sold out and my points are piling up.

Big thanks for the notice! Got 2.

I'm glad they are limiting it to 2 tickets per week - hopefully this will prevent some people from ordering tonnes just to sell on eBay. Regular joes like myself just want a couple movie tickets!

Finally! I have 45 000 registered points that I haven't touched since June but I have random icoke slips/rim/caps in my purse, wallet, an envelop and pencil case. Sad really. I'm glad I can finally use them again! Yay.

[sPiKyAZN]

Thanks for the reminder...ordered mine!

[onexeyed]

Question: Since there is a 2 pass per week limit when ordering from icoke.ca, what constitutes as week? ie. does it mean 1 week from the day that you ordered?

[jayslay]

it just let me place 2 orders...?? it use to stop me from ordering again after my first order, but not this time

[mygu]

I placed an order on Saturday, than another on Sunday... so I'm guessing every Sunday the limit resets. Either that or there really is no limit.

When I placed my order on Saturday, I read that you were only allowed 2 per week, and if you tried to order more, you would not be sent more, and the points you used for the extra tickets would not be refunded to you account. You will probably be getting an email rejecting the second order. When I ordered tickets in the summer, the site said two per week and the drop down menu allowed me to order 4. I got an email saying I would only get 2 tickets and luckily my account was credited for the tickets not received. It took awhile to get my points back.

I just phoned iCoke and was told start of week is Monday, at which time you can order again up to limit of 2.

[Trevor]

Hi,

I just found the movie tickets available again.

Get them before they are gone and the site does say that if you order more than 2 they will delete your points and not ship the items.

Btw, looks like coins expire November 30, unless extended:

G. iCoke Coin Expiry

1.Any iCoke Coins remaining in the iCoke Member's Account which has remained "inactive" for a period of 6 months or more prior to 11:59 p.m. November 30, 2007 ET ["the Redemption Deadline"] will be forfeited without compensation. Failure to either credit iCoke Coins to an iCoke Member Account or redeem iCoke Coins from an iCoke Member Account constitutes inactivity for the purposes of this condition.

2.Any iCoke Coins remaining in the iCoke Member's Account at the end of the Redemption Deadline will be forfeited without compensation. The iCoke Coins have no cash value and are only redeemable for offered rewards via the Program.

3.The iCoke Member may redeem iCoke Coins in the manner set forth above until 11:59 p.m. November 30, 2007, ET unless the Redemption Deadline is extended or otherwise modified by Sponsor.

I'm not so sure; if part 2 was referring to part 1 (inactive accounts), wouldn't it be redundant?

maybe we're misinterpreting it or something because I got an email yesterday saying to start saving up for Pirates 3 on dvd that will be available to buy with icoke coins on November 29....
And details suggest can spend coins after November 30:
"If DVD purchase is completed on or after Nov 30, 2007, DVD will be delivered to buyer's physical mailing address after Dec 4, 2007."

Ouch! I don't think those are very good value, considering you can get 5 Admit One's for about the same number of points.

Ron.

[jmalias]

anyone have a spare 24,500 icoke points???

I have always wondered which of you are employed as the recycling guys cause there is no way anyone can drink that much pop.

Cheers

[jayslay]

i got that email saying i made 2 orders in 1 week and i wasnt going to get one of my orders and they were not going to credit me back my points.

however, i just go both orders in teh mail today, i so guess they messed up or iam just lucky :cheesygri

I currently have 96,000 - I normally hover around 100,000 depending on movie ticket availability. I don't work at a bottle depot but I do drink coke at work, normally around 3 600ml bottles a day during work hours. Luckily I have a fast metabolism or else I'd be huge :razz:

IMO movie tickets have been the best value of all that is offered but the night outs are not as good as the admit ones - 2 pops and 1 popcorn do not equal 3 movie tickets. I'll wait around until the single tickets become available again, I still have some left over to tide me over from the last time. I hope to see them soon, the reminder on RFD when that happens is helpful to grab them while they're available.

I'm not a recycling person but my way of collecting icoke points is getting them through friends. They drink the pop and I take their unused points (caps). I probably only drank maybe 5 or 6 bottles of pop.


same here!

Me too. I order 2 tickets two weeks ago and haven't received them but I received my Cineplex Night Out ticket in 5 days. Not sure what the problem is.

[jitterbugjohnny]

I ordered 3 tickets total. In one order I had two tickets and in the second order I did a week later I had one. I got the single ticket but, haven't received the two tickets yet. It's been about 15 days. Both say they have shipped on the site. I guess we all are having issues with this.

Got the 4 I ordered a week ago, still got around 100,000 points so here is hoping that they return soon ;)

i got in on the tickets and one of the passes for two. havent received anything yet. i recall last year they came really quick.

i too get all my caps from friends :)

[Keelie]

Got the 4 I ordered a week ago, still got around 100,000 points so here is hoping that they return soon ;)

Anyone can go in the theatre and dig through garbage cans for "points".

[MikeNet]

FYI:

I actually got a call from iCoke yesterday (depending on when you read this it was Wednesday) asking if I have received my tickets yet. I said "NO" and he apologized and said they got swamped with the number of requests and he will call me back on Nov 1 to see if I get it by then. So, they are on the way. I'm guessing this was for the order I placed on OCT 5!

Just a heads up for those waiting.

[onexeyed]

I never received a call from icoke thought but I finally received my 2 icoke passes today in the mail. I thought I would never receive them. I ordered them on Oct. 11. A bit longer than usual since I ordered the Cineplex Night Out after I ordered the 2 general passes and received it 5 days later.

So for those still waiting the passes should be arriving very soon.

[MikeNet]

Yes, I also received my 2 orders today. One ordered on the 5th and one ordered on the 12th. They must've had a backlog because eventhough the orders were a week apart and arrived the same day there is a six month difference in expiry dates of the tickets. :(

[slippy]

got my two tickets too

[Corizzle]

Bumping this back up, they have a new Cineplex product up

$25 Cineplex gift card for 24,000 points, even worse then the Entertainment pack that is up :confused:

Shows 26,000 points for me.

And the "cineplex night out" is no longer offered. It's getting worse and worse...

[Corizzle]

I know for a fact that the entertainment packs were still up when I posted an hour before you, so they have taken them off then...

I might have messed up the price of the gift card but even then that is so lame.... still a better deal the the 2L of pop for 5000 points, as by that amount of points, 6 2L Cokes is close to $25 which is so overvalued it's not even funny

[jackboot]

I just got an email that says "don't let your iCoke coins expire" - 30-day reminder:

Don't forget: You have one month to keep your iCoke CoinsTM from disappearing. December 1, 2007 is coming fast. Keep your current balance from expiring by doing any of the following:

1) Enter PINs found under the cap of all specially marked Coca-Cola® products

2) Use your iCoke CoinsTM right now to buy stuff like ringtones and mobile wallpapers

3) Use your iCoke CoinsTM to enter contests like sweepstakes and the Daily Instant Win Contest

I don't get it - why would my points expire? All of my ~20,000 points are new within the last couple of weeks. The email seems to indicate that if I enter any new pins that my entire balance won't expire? WTF is going on?

It seems like iCoke is trying to clear out some of the "abuser" accounts / multiple accounts that have a tonne of points and snatch up the best rewards quick and then sell on eBay.

I got the same email ... :confused:

[codtongues]

I got the same email. the program probably ends this month.

I got the same email. Must be another bug as I've also earned and spent coins in the last month. Their policy states they only expire after 6 months.

From http://www.icoke.ca/home/privacy/#coins:

G. iCoke Coin Expiry

1. Any iCoke Coins remaining in the iCoke Member's Account which has remained "inactive" for a period of 6 months or more prior to 11:59 p.m. November 30, 2007 ET ["the Redemption Deadline"] will be forfeited without compensation. Failure to either credit iCoke Coins to an iCoke Member Account or redeem iCoke Coins from an iCoke Member Account constitutes inactivity for the purposes of this condition.

2. Any iCoke Coins remaining in the iCoke Member's Account at the end of the Redemption Deadline will be forfeited without compensation. The iCoke Coins have no cash value and are only redeemable for offered rewards via the Program.

3. The iCoke Member may redeem iCoke Coins in the manner set forth above until 11:59 p.m. November 30, 2007, ET unless the Redemption Deadline is extended or otherwise modified by Sponsor.

I read 2 and 3 as referring to active or inactive accounts. I phoned last week and they confirmed they only refer to inactive accounts. I complained about the ambiguous and redundant wording; apparently their lawyers came up with it. Figures. Guess it's time to call again.

I also asked how much the "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" DVD will cost; they didn't know. If I recall correctly "Alpha Dog" was 25,000, a rip considering that's the equivalent of 5 movie passes.

i thought it was the end of the coins but it only applies to the accounts you havent touched, iam assuming

In my case all of the coins in my account are new within the last couple of weeks. I only have 19,000 points.

Unbelievable...the 2L cokes and rip-off Cineplex gift cards are sold out :confused:

[PanzerWF]

I think it's from people thinking their iCoke coins will expire, so they'll grab anything they think is useful.

I really hope these coins aren't going to expire because I'll have nothing to get if they do :evil:

It's because they are the only things of real value that they offer except for the concert tickets that most people would never even think of buying or contests that are practically impossible to win, it would just be throwing your points away. So whenever anything tangible becomes available on that site people buy it up because they have nothing else to spend their points on, a bottle of Coke is better than some useless points.

There are $25 Cineplex gift cards for 30,000 points right now

Eww...that's like 2 movies for the price of 6 passes....

[Corizzle]

Eww...that's like 2 movies for the price of 6 passes....

I think they are trying to raise how much the points are worth, they had the Golden Compass Wii game at ~130,000 points

The game retails for $49.99. Granted looking at the price of the game the gift cards look like a steal

Little bit pricey, but Empire movie tickets are back for 14,000 VIP for pair:

the language is awkward...and on first reading it, i thought it was saying that any unused pins will expire.

so, i think you just have to make your account 'active' by buying something...? or adding?

anyone think they can clarify?

[jmalias]

seems pretty clear..you may redeem for the 8 hours or so..

buy..buy..buy:confused:

[onexeyed]

I got an e-mail a month ago saying I either had to buy or add more points to my account or it would expire. I added 1000 points yesterday to ensure my account wouldn't expire.

[bolthead]

Blue Jays tickets, and 40% off Via Rail travel added! Time to burn some points!

[jhardy]

Movie tickets are back too. But at a max of 10 pins a week, that's six weeks just for movie tickets. They might as well just discontinue the site.

[jackboot]

bump for an old thread!

All I want to say is this: what happened with iCoke? When it started out it was pretty wicked - Redeem 5000 points and get a movie pass. Then it went up to 14,000 points for a pair of tickets. Then it went up again to 27,500 points for a pair of tickets! Now they don't even keep movie tickets in stock. I haven't seen movie tickets in stock now since Nov 2008 :(

iCoke was a great promo when you could reasonably swap points for movies. Now it is a worthless waste of time to collect points, let alone take the time to input them to the site.

yeah but for some stupid reason i can't stop collecting them anyway...

[GrumpyGull]

Doesn't Coke realize that they are sullying their reputation with this awful promotion? Whoever/whatever marketing firm they hired to lead this promotion should have their contract torn up immediately.

I mean seriously... there is nothing tangible for sale on the iCoke site, except for some pathetic ring tones and cell phone accessories. Somehow, the movie passes are always either "sold out" or "coming soon" -- and yet most times I go to the movies in my Canadian city, there are always empty seats.

What gives, Coke???

Is it on weekdays?

[GrumpyGull]

Well, that's really besides the point. Movie passes are unlike, say, tickets to see the Rolling Stones. There are hundreds of screens across the country showing hundreds of different movies every night. It would not be difficult for Coke to buy some bulk movie passes for this pathetic "loyalty" program.

[doorbellring]

Wow, all the stuff they have available to buy is crap... A freakin' Coca Cola Olympic Lapel pin for 7300 points... When movie tickets used to be going for 5000 points...

On the other hand I find it hilarious that all those hoarders who but stuff from the website purely to resell it are selling the pins on ebay. Quoted from one of their auctions.


Very rare and hard to come by.

AS IF

As posted in the non-expired thread (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=713031):
Still no Cineplex movie tickets, but Empire pair now available for the same inflated price of 27,500 coins. In the past the ticket expiration has been sooner than the Cineplex; also I notice they are not valid for studio pass restricted films:
