i would like a legitimate reason (not some bogus professional answer that doesn't even remotely answer my question) for why you have lowered the point limit to 75. and not only that, the recent prizes have been absolute junk. i remember back when i first started MCR there was some really awesome high priced prizes, as well a sizable selection of coke brand products such as the coke watch, coke pop corn bowl set, coke apparel, and much more. in others posts that are also upset about these changes you have commented that after you have reached your point limit that you can continue to increase your status by completing challenges. but for people like myself who have already achieved gold status, the challenges have become relatively pointless. so like i said at the beginning i would greatly appreciate an honest and personal response. thank you for taking the time to read through my post and look forward to reading your genuine response.

i suppose i just don't quite understand how it "levels the playing field". as opposed to lowering the point limit, why not simply create more lower point rewards for the newbies, and more higher point rewards for the veterans? it seems that coke is relying to much on sweepstakes to which only a finite amount of my coke rewards users can obtain as opposed to more actual physical rewards that a majority of the community would be able to receive.

Hi Jason, thank you again for your feedback. I am happy to forward it to the appropriate members of our team.
While lowering the point limit screws long time users of my Coke rewards, it makes it sort of sense for Coke itself because they don't want to have this division between that written a new users. Because of new users feel that they're going to be in a second-class compared to guys who have been doing this for the past eight or 10 years, then those users are less likely to show up to begin with. coke probably feels that they don't need to bend over for guys who been stockpiling caps and package tabs for the past few years, because they've already made money on those people. They're going after the guys who have not signed up yet. The point is to get as many new subscribers as possible and they're not going to do that if people have to worry about going up against guys got shoeboxes full of red green and gray caps.
