Why the limit? Seems it takes to long to add up enough points to shop for items,and if you don't enter points within so many weeks/months you lose the points you have entered.come on coke ,I must keep at least one person ajod in your company with all the coke I buy,so why not allow us to enter a unlimited amount of points.

IT is because there is actually pathetic losers who go through garbage cans for points. They pass right over valuable garbage, don't even take the bottles for the deposit (they say that makes them feel like bums..but going through the garbage for points doesn't) and then are getting hundreds of dollars of gift cards every Christmas as well has dozens of free twelve pack coupons. Coke set this up to be a BONUS for their loyal customers. A way to get a little something back. But people are using it to get hundreds of dollars from Coke, while buying NONE. And in fact, costing Coke more money since they are getting dozens of twelve packs (which costs Coke money to make, bottle and ship) and paying nothing. These people are not customers. They are leeches. 75 points per week is way more than one person can drink. Or should drink. And if you have more than one person in your family, you can open a second account. But even at the highest point per ounce ratio, that is still 25 bottles a week..or over 3 1/2 a day. No one should be drinking 70 ounces of ANY soda in any one day, let alone every day. And if you DO drink that much, you are better off getting 2 liter bottles or 12 packs which give you less points per ounce, but are much cheaper. So again, these new limits only affect people who are entering caps that they did not buy. (either thought friends or going through garbage.) And that is not what the program was meant to do.
I am going to be the next to comment on this--AND I SAY THAT YOUR OPINION OF THIS IS RIDICULOUS, as Donna Moore pointed out.
Let me tell you something--YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY THE PRODUCTS TO GET THE POINTS. Case in point--each day I am at work I, like others who have to take out the garbage, find empty bottles with the caps still on, or half-full bottles with the caps still on (I dump whatever is still in there before tossing the bottle)...or even empty 12-packs with box tops still on (I take those off, and toss the boxes).
And, on occasion, I find 20-pack codes too. But when I find caps of one color from multiple products, I make it easier by writing down each code, and the product it came from.
Also, I keep the caps and box tops from the products I buy, and I don't toss them until I've entered the codes.
Last, but not least, they have reduced the limit from 100 to 75 last year, when they launched the "new" program, and there are some people complaining about *that*. I've done some of it, but minimal, but have gotten used to how this new program has worked, and it's been one year since it was implemented.
SO IF YOU WANNA BOYCOTT COKE, GO AHEAD. BUT LEAVE US COKE FANS IN PEACE!
