Author Topic: UncleBob's gimme your codes thread! (Or, how to get free-ish Nintendo Points!) (Read 99979 times)

Moderators, fell free to squash this thread - I won't be offended.

Fellow forum goers - If you drink Pepsi or Pepsi products (including Mountain Dew), you may have noticed they have a Rock Band promotion going on.

Long story short, you can redeem the codes under the caps online for a chance to win Rock Band tracks. For the PS3/360 versions, you win a code that lets you download a song of your choice (from a list provided). For us awesome Wii owners, you win a code worth 200 Nintendo points - which you can then redeem on your Wii (or DSi!) and download whatever you want (assuming you get enough).

So - anyone who wants to can send me the codes from their caps (either via PM, e-mail or text message (number in signature!). Alternatively, you can use the codes yourself, but it's better to give, etc., etc...

Thank you for your time!

I'm 17 for 17 right now. 3,400 free(-ish) Nintendo points. And six of those even came from co-workers. Whoo!

You don't like Frito-Lays potato chips?

This. (Although, I do like Sierra Mist.)

UncleBob · « **Reply #7 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:42:22 PM »

I believe there are the Rock Band caps on Sierra Mist.

Dang it - the last three caps I got were buy-one-get-one frees.

More of a chance to get wii points, no?

UncleBob · « **Reply #9 on:** July 13, 2009, 11:07:35 AM »

But I have like 22 bottles of Pepsi in my fridge already. Besides, let's say I buy a Pepsi for $1 (keeping it easy). I get a code. Then, I buy another Pepsi for $1 and get another code. 400 points for $2.

Now, I buy a Pepsi and get a BOGO. Then, I BOGO free and get two codes. Still $2, still 400 points. I just have to drink an extra Pepsi.

Wow I did not know about this and I drink diet pepsi all the time.

So when it wants me to pick a song I just pick any random one and it doesn't matter because the code just gives me points? I have several codes saved up that I'd been using on Rock Band DLC for the 360 but I've run out of songs that I want.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2009, 02:43:18 PM »

Pepsi sucks, also buying small bottles is a ripoff.

Clearly you haven't seen the math up above in the thread...

Stratos · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:45:29 PM »

I might have to badger people for caps now. I want some RB DLC and have no money for points.

Hey, UncleBob, or anyone else, would you mind just sharing one or two of those codes with me? There are some songs I especially would like to get, but I'm tight on cash.

Yup. I've ordered some crap called "30 Seconds to Mars" 17 times now.

Not so much actually. All of the local brands are better.

UncleBob · « **Reply #17 on:** July 15, 2009, 05:19:03 PM »

To anyone with concerns about this working - I've redeemed 51 codes and won 51 times.

It'll be nice when my Wii gets back so I can load some points up on it.

vudu · « **Reply #18 on:** July 15, 2009, 05:29:42 PM »

****, man. You need to gift me some stuff!!

UncleBob · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2009, 05:33:43 PM »

No gift function on the DSi and I currently have no Wii.

I could buy that sweet Mario Calculator though. It's 200 points *and* will score me 10 Club Nintendo coins...

vudu · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2009, 06:51:17 PM »

You have $100 worth of DSi Points?! Is there even $100 worth of stuff to buy?

Save some of those points until you get your Wii back!

UncleBob · « **Reply #21 on:** July 15, 2009, 07:00:23 PM »

Don't worry - my Wii has (had?) like 5,000 unused points on it before I sent it out and I have about 3,000 points left unopened in my fridge. Also, if this guy comes through (Got me 4,200 points for $13), I'll be looking at 10,000 more points for $25.

My Wife's DSi should have about 1,500 left on it (from the 1,000 it started with + the 2,000 I added and minus the few things she's downloaded)... I'll need to add some points to her's too.

vudu · « **Reply #22 on:** July 15, 2009, 07:13:26 PM »

**** man, let me buy some of those off of you.

Stratos · « **Reply #23 on:** July 15, 2009, 07:26:14 PM »

Alms for the poor?

Though...I do know a guy who is a vending machine distributor person. Maybe I can get a similar hookup from him.

UncleBob · « **Reply #24 on:** July 15, 2009, 07:47:45 PM »

I'll make an offer. Since I have no Wii to redeem points onto yet, each day until my Wii returns, I'll give away a code worth 200 Nintendo Points. Need a few more points for that WiiWare title, but don't want to purchase a $20 card? Want to buy Birds and Beans for your DSi in spite of the unfairly crappy review score it got from NWR? Perhaps you want to legitimately purchase a RockBand track?

Well, here's your chance!

But I'm not going to make it too easy!

I'm going to take two Nintendo games (from any system - both games will be from the same system!), scramble the names together and post it. Whomever is the first to unscramble the two names will receive the code!
