Thats how i won my 360, on cleanup one saturday in the factory collected 20 caps, went home, entered them all, won.I am a custodian at a university, so I expect to collect many unused codes. Winning this is about the only way I would get an Xbone for quite a long time.
I am , but I only have 500 points so far. Nowhere around here has the Xbox one dew... I'm also the only person in my family that eats doritos, so at this pace I'm probably not going to win.So is anyone actually doing this? Gotta scout out my competition here. I've currently got 6350 points but have probably another 2000 points waiting to be cashed (but am waiting to have equal parts mountain dew and doritos to maximise effectiveness.)
I haven't seen any promos at all for this in my area.Originally Posted by infinit777

That being said, if anyone is willing to donate some codes in Pm I will be forever grateful!
Are you serious?? How do you have so many points??So is anyone actually doing this? Gotta scout out my competition here. I've currently got 6350 points but have probably another 2000 points waiting to be cashed (but am waiting to have equal parts mountain dew and doritos to maximise effectiveness.)
it just takes time for the new bottles to trickle out, which depends how fast stores sell through the older stock.Originally Posted by Mr.Speedy

On a related note, I can't find any Mountain Dews with the promotion. All I see are old bottles. I see the Doritos everywhere though...Has anyone else had this same problem? I'm in Texas if that matters.
How in gods name have you managed this? The most you can get with any combination is 650 and that's buying a 24pk and a Gamer Doritos thing and entering it at the same time.So is anyone actually doing this?

You'll be better off in the basic auctions and not the crazy prize auctions though the Ryse package sounds fucking awesome.Originally Posted by cevansdust
I'm doing this as well, but I don't have anywhere near that 6,000. I just hope for the sake of my sanity the auctions show real time points of those betting. If it's a blind crapshoot then I'd rather not even waste my time.
I'm in it. Pack it up. It's all over. :PSo is anyone actually doing this? Gotta scout out my competition here. I've currently got 6350 points but have probably another 2000 points waiting to be cashed (but am waiting to have equal parts mountain dew and doritos to maximise effectiveness.)
I'm at 7325 right now, with still probably at least 1500+ of unclaimed codes in doritos. Basically i'm a student and we have a dining halls. However we also have a convenience store where we can use our lunch meal swipe for $8 of stuff there. Since about the 26th of Sept or so (when coded packs of doritos appeared) I just used my $8 every day to buy Doritos/mountain dew.How in gods name have you managed this?

The former (but only from 9pm to 2am from Nov 5th.) I'm not sure whether I should shoot for the regular bundle or the "advanced" one. I would love to get the Xbox HQ one where you get to suggest a game but I'm pretty sure one would need 100,000 (the maximum allowed amount) to get that one.So an auction ends every two minutes? Or do they just randomly choose a new winner every two minutes?
Wow, well what prize pack are you aiming for? I'm hoping in the marketplace they have a launch games pack or something cool like that.I'm at 7325 right now, with still probably at least 1500+ of unclaimed codes in doritos.

I also have a job at my college's night time cafe once a week so instead of eating all of them I give a lot of them out for free in a bowl on the counter (I keep the bag.) Everyone wins. For reference $8 of Doritos can get you 550 points if you get 6 bags of 2 1/8 OZ and 1 bag of 3 3/8 Oz. That doesn't include any bonus points you'd get from banking with Mountain Dew.
Damn, dude. Heh, you'd hope with that kind of plan you'd be guaranteed a free Xbox One.I'm at 7325 right now, with still probably at least 1500+ of unclaimed codes in doritos.

I going to guess that you'll be at the maximum within a few weeks anyway, if you're already at 7,000+ points. I guess you will probably have to buy a fair amount of Mountain Dew though.The former (but only from 9pm to 2am from Nov 5th.)

Beleive it or not my calculations say I won't reach it at all :( Depending on what I think my chances are close to the auction of the Xbox HQ I may buy some wholesale. Probably not but still considering it.I going to guess that you'll be at the maximum within a few weeks anyway, if you're already at 7,000+ points.

I wish I had some weird scam like yours -- feel free to throw me any extra points if you hit the cap :P

Your belt will.Just topped 1000!
I'm gonna be crushed, right?
I mean, free in the sense that while I pay no additional money to what I'd already do, I exchange a mediocre lunch meal for a shitty one of diet mountain dew and a pack of Doritos. I've reached 10650 points. Still going pretty strong.Originally Posted by Sola Scriptura
"Free"?
Yes, I got them in an email. There was a little thing on the long list of rules that said they could distribute points through other mediums which weren't packs of Doritos and Dew bottles and cited the dewsletter as an example. I figured they'd do that.Didn't know about the dewsletter how did you find that out? I just signed up now did they send you an email about the 100 points?
Just as a heads up the rules state that you can only have 1000 Codes "and/or" 150,000 points. So if you are only entering low point value codes then you may hit the maximum number of allowable codes before you hit the maximum number of allowable points. Though I'm not sure if anyone is really planning on buying 1000 bags of Doritos in the next couple months :)I signed up to the dewsletter and recieved an extra 100 points last night. Though it may have been that you had to sign up prior to last night...
Strangley if you're looking for $/point efficiency, the cheaper packs of either product is the better bet.
You don't get any auction points with the post cards. All you get are entries into the sweepstakes.The rules also state that you can be sent a free code for every self-addressed stamped envelope you send to the contest's address. Have you tried that yet? Any idea how many points that gives? Assuming that you can get 100 points for the price of two stamps, that would be the most efficient way to collect points.
