I saw this on a frito display when I was at work earlier today. Just do what the op says and you automatically win 160/400/800/1600 MS Points. It is one entry per phone number so just do what I did and get your family to enter too. I got 4 unique codes and earned 2560 points today. :D

EDIT: I don't think the deal is dead... Just it is ridiculously hard to get codes now. Further into the thread I see people who had to enter 20+ times just to get one code. If all else fails just keep trying.

I finally got my code after 2 hours. The code was for 1600 points so well worth the wait. In total I got 2800 points using 3 phones. Thanks OP
 
I got a total of 480 pts from 3 codes and was going to get 2 more codes later tonight but they've all been redeemed.
 
Hmmmm

Decided to resend the message a few times, twice getting the out of codes message

Just got one back saying I won a code, might want to give it a few more trys if you were told they were out of codes
 
Hm. Mine said codes were all used up. I'll try again.

edit: tried again, got a code. Go figure.

edit 2: 160 points, can't complain.

i sent a bunch of texts... so far have a ton of no more codes and a 160 code :)

EDIT: just got another one from my wife's phone, took about 20 texts to finally get it. 400 more points - total is 560 now :)

[quote name='Jedi1979']still works, just send multiple texts...got 560 total between 2 phones...[/QUOTE]
I sure hope so, tried on two phones and hope I will get a reply soon :cool:
 
Tried 3 times, had a friend also try a few times, and another friend. All getting the "all claimed" message. I'll keep trying for awhile, though. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Indeed it is, I must have been thinking it was something else. Hopefully I get some free MS points.

BTW, I wonder when/if everyone will be getting spammed?

You can reply to the message you receive with the word STOP to tell them to not send you any more.

Nice, so when we get a spam message we can just stop. Free!
 
i sent 3 messages earlier from the same phone and finally got a reply 1 hour later that all codes were gone. i just now got another text and actually got a code for 1600 points. not sure whats going on. perhaps they restocked?
 
I've sent 10 txt's so-far, all of them the same "out of codes" message. Pretty sure this is dead, even with people claiming to still be getting a code.

sent 22 texts and got 11 rejections before finally getting a code (and I just got the code about 15 minutes ago). I just did it while I was watching TV, sometimes sent multiple texts before hearing back.

I have a limit of 1,000, so I will try them all if need be, I guess... haha. Thanks, I was about to give up hope.
 
this is weird. I sent the text a while back, and just got my code now. grabbed sisters phone, sent the text 4 times, finally got a code. took other sister's phone, got it first try. tried mom's phone, keep getting "all out" message. oh well, I got a total of 1360 points. bought peggle for 400. nice to have some points!

thanks op!
 
Haha! It worked. I sent literally 60+ messages, and by the time #30 or so got around to me with any sort of message, it was actually a "You won!" message. Thank you, sir. Time to see how much I won now.

Edit: Won 160 points.. and crap, I'm about to be spammed with about 30 more messages of "Sorry!" now. I probably should have waited and checked them few by few instead of mass-texting. Oh well.

hehe, yup my wife's phone's going every minute or so... hehe but free is free. don't forget to text STOP.

Very true, and done. After texting Stop, I still just got bombarded with about 20 "Sorry!" txt's, but oh well, haha. Oh, and also, thanks for the PM yesterday; I wouldn't have seen it in that thread. Probably going to pick-up Coraline soon (going to price-watch for a bit - in hopes of ti going down); I've heard so many great things about it.
 
Wow, just tried it and almost immediately got a code for 800 points! Thanks, OP!

Edit: Tried it a few times on a different phone and got nothing but "Sorry!" messages.

Edit 2: Persistence pays off. Tried it a few more times from the same phone like other people suggested, and I finally got a code for 160 points.

NOT DEAD

You just have to keep sending the POWER message to 24477 until you get a winning text! I tried 15 times and got "sorry all codes claimed" texts, but I tried 5 more times and finally got a winner. It was only 160 MS pts but I then tried with my wife's phone and got a winner after only 6 texts...redeemed it for 400 MS pts. Not too bad for a few minutes time haha! Wish I would have known sooner tho. Thanks OP!


ALSO - to those wondering, it is only one winner per phone number. After you win you will get either sorry texts or a text saying you have already won before.
 
yeah, this is totally hit or miss... I sent half a dozen messages from my phone over the past few hours, getting "Sorry" responses between 30 seconds and 30 minutes later. Finally tried my wife's phone, and almost immediately got a response with a 400 point code. I've tried another half dozen times from my phone since, and still nothing.
 
nothing so far for me, not even a sorry all codes redeemed. Blah damn centennial and their stubborn refusal to have open sms...
