My fav. drink = free magazines!


Coke.

It's my beverage of choice.

Not a very healthy choice I might add but my guilty pleasure.

For years now I have just thrown the caps and cartons away.

Never thinking twice about the reward points....Until...



I found out that you can purchase your favorite magzines with them!


That's right.

Reward points equal free magazines!


Can you believe it!


An entire years subscription for just a few points each.

All you have to do is save the codes like this..


And enter them here...


It's that easy!

No, Coke didn't pay me a dime to say this...."shucks".

I just could not sleep another night knowing...

somewhere ...

Some sweet blog friend was trashing her points.

You can thank me later when you are enjoying your free magazines

while drinking a coke.

(Not responsible for loss of sleep nor cavities...ha)

Enjoy!

We do the same thing, My hubby is a school teacher and you can imagine how many bottles are left in his room, we have tons of them and I get all my magazines for free and we have done other cool things also. Hope you are having a great week, we are covered in snow. Are you going to Blissdom?

My favourite drink is coke too but here in Greece we don't have "mycoke rewards" and I buy those magazines from stores they sell international press! That's not fair...:)

Michelle said...

I'm so excited!!! Thanks for sharing! BTW, I went on a hunt for the Waverly paper plates & napkins you wrote about the other day, our Wal-Mart had them for $1!!

Take Care

Hmmm, what if you're a Pepsi gal? Will have to investigate! Thank you for sharing. You're sweeter than a coke or a pepsi!

Your Friend,

Melanie said...

Coke (and sweet tea) is my drug of choice:) Not a good drug but it beats some others. LOL!

I have never saved mine but I will start right now. Do they come with the cans?

Tami / Maddie Lumpkin said...

Thank you for posting this! We are big Coke drinkers (hate to admit it).But hey,if I can get magazines for free.I wish I'd known about this years ago.

Karina said...

Get out - how could I not have known. Just think of the hundreds - no - thousands of cartons I have recycled without saving the code. Makes me wonder what other goodies they offer for free....I'm off to find out. Thanks for the tip my friend.

Laura Ingalls Gunn said...

No way! What have I been doing~ Sleeping under a rock?

Nevermore. My addiction will now work for me! :)

liz @ bon temps beignet said...

Oh my gosh, I had no idea! I'm a Diet Coke-Aholic, so it should take no time at all to get a subscription. Last time I was home in NOLA I noticed my mom had saved up *dozens* of caps. Maybe I'll ask her to donate. Thanks for the tip Susie!

Trish @TheOldPostRoad said...

Thanks!

Jayna Rae said...

My stay-a-home life has made me into a rewards point junkie!!! Darn I don't drink Coke. If only my dad were alive; his case a day habit would've got me some magazines right quick.

Sherry @ No Minimalist Here said...

Wow, With the amount of Diet Cokes I drink I will have a life time supply of magazines. Who knew?
Thanks,
Sherry

Southern Queen Bee said...

Dearest Sista...

Oh no what about Sonic? Ya know they are not gonna give ya a code when you go there to get your fix...That Sonic car hop is gonna have withdrawls from not seeing you. LOL

Katie said...

Funny, my brother in law is an avid coke point collector, to the point (haha) that he usually inherits the ones from my blessed diet coke boxes and bottles. Brother in law...you may have some competition, 'cause housebeautiful is calling my name! hahaha I had no idea what he'd been doing with them all this time!

Charity said...

THANK YOU! and to think I've been wanting to get Country Living, and I've thrown all those points away... Oh. well. :) Time to buy more Coke! :)

Shannon said...

Now I am so upset I have wasted so many points already!
Thanks for the information :)

A Cottage Muse said...

You don't say...wow...thanks for sharing!

Sea Witch said...

Okay, I'm all over this. My colleagues drink a lot of coke at work so I'm now gonna snag up all of the containers before recycling them and utlize these for free mags.

Mandy in Mayberry said...

We've gotten some free mag. subscriptions and given a few as gifts with our points!

My hubby is the Coke drinker in our house!

Annie Louise said...

Wow thanks for the great information.

Cindy said...

I'm loving that can holder in your fridge - how cool is that!! And thanks fo the tip about the points - just got an email about Coke Rewards but didn't give it a thought, but will read it now.
Cindy

HeathahLee said...

I would be the one wasting my points. I'm as addicted to Diet Coke as you are to Coke. And I never got anything from my points...I usually had trouble loading them for some reason. That was over a year ago...might need to revisit it! : )

Thanks for the motivation!

Robin @ My Blessed Nest said...

I have been using Diet Coke codes for over a year now...have received several magazine subscriptions including Country Living, Living, Fitness, etc. I have also been able to get free products from Snapfish. I have noticed recently that the codes are easier to read, too. I love getting free stuff for drinking my favorite that I would drink anyway!

Mrs. Doodle said...

THANK YOU! I always throw mine away!!!!!! I will now be plugging them in... my husband is a MAJOR coke drinker. his guilty pleasure as well:)

Vintagesouthernlife said...

I just found this out recently too. I ordered my first magazine two weeks ago. I'm so excited because I am a coke-aholic and I had enough points in no time.

Shana said...

Thanks for the tip!! I too am a soda addict!! :)

Michelle L. said...

he he! I save the points for more Coke! ;) LOL!

Sarah said...

I never knew. Thanks for sharing. By the way your sign that you made for me can be seen over at my post today and I did a link for others to find you. I get so many compliments on it and I love it so much. Thanks

OMG, thanks for sharing. I love coke and reading fabulous magazines. It is a win win for me.

Christi said...

That's great news! I go through way more Diet Cokes than I should! :)

Kellie Collis said...

You are an angel! I got to check if that is available here! Enjoy the wonderful day, Kellie xx

Kirsten said...

Coke has been doing this for years ... well 2 or 3 at least. The prizes (IMHO) used to be so much better. I have gotten several $100 Sephora gift cards, Chiefs football tickets, and of course many, many magazines with my points ... hey don't judge - I had other people give me caps and case labels for a long time, although I do drink way, way too much coke!

Wendy @ The Shabby Nest said...

Thanks for the insight, Susie! I'm a bit of diet coke addict...so I might as well be doing something useful with all those boxes and tops, huh?

xoxo

Erikita said...

I have been doing this for years now...We are big coca cola drinkers (non of the imitation stuff for us)! At work my co-workers have now started giving me their carton codes which amount to 18 pts each. I dont save 1 million points for a lousy Coke shirt instead I use all the points to feed my magazine addiction. I love getting Oprah, Martha Stewart, fashion mags and all the ones you listed above for FREE!!! It's great you gave readers the inside tip...never to late to start!

Denise at PinkPostcard. said...

wow, that is awesome! favorite drink and favorite magazines!! Too bad I am a Pepsi loyalist! :)

Ruth said...

THis is my favorite drink, too. I can't believe I have been throwing away all those precious points. I could have had hundreds of beautiful magazines to enjoy with my drink of choice.

Traci said...

In the immortal words of Stacy London...'Shut UP!'. That's FABULOUS! The internal struggle to deny myself 'The Great Black Liquid' (as my husband and I named it) has one more hit. :) I have been missing my Southern Living...
