I have 250 points to gift. If anyone's interested, just PM me offers.
why the desperation?And with severe desperation, the MASSIVE unloading of the points begins........
To the guys that spent the time and money and are not going to get close to winning. The page before has members unloading 1600-15000 points each, and are trying do desperately recoup SOMETHING for their troubles.why the desperation?

It is spiking because we are at cap saturation, nearly every MT. Dew cap is a E2M cap at this point. We are also at "oh shit public awareness of the contest" saturation.I know right? How the hell is it SPIKING? You'd think they'd drop crazy because supply is dwindling. I swear if i get to like 35 K after all this an dthe it's up to 45k. I can't imagine Hoping for a score on Black Friday
So...money isn't TOO tight? k The rules CLEARLY state:
"Prizes won in the Sweepstakes and awarded by Auction will be shipped generally within 8-10 weeks from notification. Xbox One has targeted launch date of November 2013; therefore, the initial shipments may be slightly delayed; please allow 12- 14 weeks for delivery"
But, I forgot, people hardly ever read the rules. I don't know why I keep reading "when do the auctions end?" (on December 9th) and "when are my prizes coming" (when the system hasn't even LAUNCHED yet ) over and over online.
You can either wait out the contest until next week and try to snag a system for around 25K-30K on Black Friday, hope for auction prices to drop after Black Friday or just buy one from the store. There is a POSSIBILITY that people will get their systems before Christmas, but the shipping estimation is in place for any delays with the systems being available to ship. So, "maybe...maybe not." We won't know anything until at least next week, after Xbox One is officially available.
If you can pull together some money (maybe through advanced gifts from family, game trade-ins, etc.), just buy it at launch. Or go for the auction and tell your kids that "it's on the way" if it doesn't show up by Christmas. Is the "Christmas day surprise" the bigger deal or having the Xbox One for a discounted price? It's really up to you.
No, you misread what I said. I know when it ends. I realize it probably wouldn't arrive before Xmas. I'm saying IF I won one and knew for certain one would be coming my way I could probably wrangle up the cash to buy one in the store for Xmas and then sell the one from Mountain Dew when it arrives (more than likely after). That way I'm not really spending the $500. That was my point. Yes, I have the money, but there are way too many other things I should spend it on at the moment.
I've seen Voltage with the promotion - I bought one at the work vending machine.Reno Takamiya said:I don't get why the Voltage or White Out bottles don't have the promotion on them.
The last Auction ends at 2:00 A.M. ET December 9, 2013 and the last sweepstakes ends on December 9, 2013, at 11:59 P.M. ET. The online marketplace is open until 11:59 A.M. ET on January 17, 2014. Codes are available while supplies last and may be banked until January 17, 2014 at 11:59 A.M. ET.When exactly does the last auction end? And when does the marketplace close? I didn't actually read the rules n stuff.
Maybe, or maybe not. I saw green caps and then saw a resurgance of the iconic summer ones (a place near my building still has them). So who knows.I'm just saying I saw people posting that they were already seeing green cap non promo bottles in their stores mixed with the white cap promo bottles. In a week or two the promo bottles are going to be very hard to find.
Add to that auctions every 2 minutes on black friday, I think that's going to clear out a lot of the people who have more than 30k points.Or make it easier to buy unused points from people.
Auction, most of us that won an xbox have been from auctions, I don't think I've heard of anyone winning a sweepstakes yet.Congrats! Auction or sweepstakes?
I got codes from Whiteout. The official rules section #4 lists every product that could have codes. Different bottlers may only put the caps on certain flavors or they have old stock that needs to be distributed first.I don't get why the Voltage or White Out bottles don't have the promotion on them.
slurpee one?Holy crap...I won another Xbox One in a completely unrelated drawing. All that good luck catching up with me this year!
That makes two including the Mtn.Dew/Doritos promotion!
Nah, this was from Xbox One Daily. They had 4 drawings over the past 4 weeks with 2 winners each. And then today a grand prize drawing out of those 8 winners. So I won a game from the smaller drawing and then the console today =).slurpee one?
cool but can it blend?Nah, this was from Xbox One Daily. They had 4 drawings over the past 4 weeks with 2 winners each. And then today a grand prize drawing out of those 8 winners. So I won a game from the smaller drawing and then the console today =).
