No, it just gives you one entry per code. Having 50 would just mean you have 50 entries to get a shot, it just increases the odds.

Am I reading this right? Each code only has a 10 minute lifespan?
If I win, when will I get the Xbox 360 system?

Since the 360 is white shouldn't they do a promotion with something of a similar color?

This is a bit like a promotion for Ipod Mini currently going on with Walkers (Lays) crisps in the UK - except that's every five minutes throughout September. Not surprising that there's the similarity, given they're all owned by Pepsi-Co.

but the ipod one enters you into the next draw - every 5 minutes. So if you enter your code at 2pm , it gets entered to the 2.05 draw. So you can choose your slot carefully but you have to be awake. I have my codes all written down and I'm going to stay up one day in september and enter them very late at night. I think I have a good chance of winning.
This one sounds like you choose which draw to enter from teh beginning? Thats not as interesting, and you can enter 3am if you aren't awake at 3am.

Ahh yes, didn't notice that difference in this competition.
For CAG's like me who don't drink soda and prefer to burn some cash with the USPS,
The fact that codes are only good for one 10 minute drawing is a pretty devious way to reward and further entice those who drink a lot of pepsi. I wonder if the American Dental Association is also a sponser? =P

I drink a ton of Mountain Dew: Code Red, so I'm holding out hopes of winning one. It's too bad I can't literally enter a code for every 10 minute drawing :lol

Go to the link below and finsh a refferal and have 8 friends do the same. Its alot easier then this thing IMO if you got 8 friends willing.

Do you necessarily have to have 8 friends, or do just need 8 e-mail addresses?Straightballin said:

You have to have 8 friends or family members willing to do a refferal (they need an email address and credit card). Some are free. So just get a bunch of family members and some friends to do it its really simple IMO. I got my psp for free using this website. Make sure you read the rules to and do not cheat.
Yeah, there's no way I'm buying 400%-markup sodas just to play this. I just read the official rules, and besides the 20-oz'es, you can also buy 12-packs at 7-11 or 24-packs at Target starting October 1st and October 2nd, and you get 2 codes. Or you can just send a self-addressed envelope to them and get three stickers...

It says 399 value and says premium eddition with hard drive, wirless controller, etc. by the picture.

Look right under the xbox 360 pic and tv pic. Its in green letters. Or you can put your mouse over the 360 pic and it says premium addition and whats included.
Talk about a scam. Thay may actually give away actual hardware, but that raises even more red flags. How are they making their money, and how can it be so much. I'm going to guess that every refferal that you get has to put in $20 or something like that. Sounds like a great way to scam your friends and family. :lol It'd prolly be cheaper just to ask them directly for the cash as that site would only be taking a cut of your own grifted assets.Straightballin said:

I think that the codes are on the outside of the packages and in the rules you it says that the purchase of the soft drink doesn't increase your chances of wining. So I think you can just go to the store and right down oll the codes on the outside of the packages and use those.
