*Entered the code under the cap of the Mountain Dew bottle to redeem points.... Loaded up auction page to check prices*

Well my 200 points aren't going to get me anywhere

is it me or is this a very stupid way of hosting a sweepstake?

One or two codes will get you absolutely no chance of winning AT ALL....

At least with a proper promotion like taco bell did, every code has a chance of winning....

These is just another grindfest that only reminds me of all the launch games with microtransactions

No one knows. I have only read dead rising 3 boxes being shipped right now. The lastest auction number I have read is around the 750. Divide that by three only 200 ish have been confirmed shipped.

Some Forza boxes were also shipped. I expect everybody who won in the first couple of weeks of the contest to get their Xbone in less than two weeks.

Its not just the auctions you also get a sweepstakes entry with every code you enter so that also gives you a shot.
 
If that's true then that's some fucked up shit.

12 packs. Should be 600 points. You're welcome.

His response:
They were both H by the way. Thanks a lot!

I got another 400 points to give but not if dipshits are selling my points I give to them in good faith. Ban this fool and I'll give more points.

This "contest" is absolute bullshit, that's all I'm gonna say.

Ya I won as well, along with a good amount of people on here who won a xbox if you were dedicated and willing to put the time in you could have got a Xbox One and a game for a lot less money then you would in stores plus lots of Dew and Doritos.

I won an auction, as did a couple other people on the board.

I won too. Getting mine Monday or Tuesday.

I think "won" is a subjective term here. You "won" by buying hundreds of dollars worth of PepsiCo products.

Getting an Xbox One at a 50%+ discount pretty much qualifies as a win. Especially when you consider that the Xbox 360 price didn't go below $300 for probably 4-5 years. You get the system at the 2013 launch, for a price we won't see until 2016-2017.

Yup, I'm a little mad I didn't wait as I could'v saved a extra $50 dollars since the drop but I still made off good saving almost $300.
 
WHAT THE FUCK DUDE. I gave you 600 points and now you're trying to sell them. Someone ban this mofo.

Hey, I was trying to win. Me and a friend actually pooled our points together and that was our total. We were hoping the prices would drop on Black Friday but no luck. So we just decided to sell and split the money. I actually forgot that you gave me those points or else I would have given them back, or to someone else.

Oh don't get me wrong, It's a great deal. But it's more a discount then a win to me.
 
I dunno, I'm set on Mountain Dew for MONTHS. Pretty sure I'm a winner. When I sit on my throne of 12-packs I feel like a winner.

And big whoop, so he kinda tried to sell his points which like 3 percent of were points that you gave away for free. Heck, you didn't even give them specifically to him. Just a random code grab, who did you expect to redeem them, Jesus Christ himself?
 
So guys this article came up randomly in my news feed yesterday. After reading through it and looking at the smug picture of the guy I couldn't stop laughing. It just cracks me up how they point out he's a scholar who is an engineering student, minor in math, and a tutor... so the article is lauding basic algebra?

He spent 452.27 on soda and chips, for a total of 44,001 points, and was quoted as saying "we found the best price - per - point ratio."

Here's the imgur gallery of his experience. (Warning, many selfies inside)

Wait.. there are college students out there today that are rocking that Justin Bieber haircut?!? You know what? I am perfectly OK with being old and out of touch.

And yeah, that price sounds pretty high, what, no CVS in town Biebs?

Even though the rules stated 8-10 weeks, I just got this email. Looks like we'll be getting our consoles within the next 1-2 weeks!

Cool! When did you win? Just so I have a reference. :)

Is anyone still doing this here on GAF? I have 349 points still on my account and would happily give it away to anyone here willing to add me on facebook.

I love when people think they are soooo clever, some people need to find a new tutor lol because he defiantly spent more then he should have.
