Coke Rewards Point - Why don't they ever offer any good gift cards?

Okay, so I have about 2000 coke points, and I am STILL waiting for them to offer gift cards as rewards. When I first joined, they had gift cards for stores I actually go to, like Home Depot; but by the time I had enough points for one they had removed them from the list. Sure, you can get a gift card for sending flowers or buying sneakers on line, but that's pretty much it. I also hate that they have the little "poll" you can take asking what new rewards should be added (including several $5 gift cards) and I have never seen any of them offered afterwards. Now they do have some good prizes, but only for the raffles, which seems pretty much like throwing points away to me; I'd rather actually save up the points and trade them in directly and know that I will recieve that item. Any one else annoyed by this? What do you wish they would offer?

I've gotten a couple Sephora giftcards in the past from Coke. I really wish they'd add Sephora again because it was be great for Christmas shopping. Coke Rewards have gone downhill in the past year or so. At one point they had great prizes that I couldn't wait to get, but now they have more animated characters for their Coke game than anything else. It's gotten really lame and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't continue past January which is really sad because like I said, I really enjoyed it at one time. Good luck finding a good reward. I just cashed in some points for a photo mug from Snapfish. I figured I'll at least get some Christmas shopping done if there's nothing I want.

I hear you. I have no interest in the online game, or American Idol, or NASCAR, so it seems that the pool of rewards to choose from is rather limited once you eliminate all those things.

I think Subway is a good choice and its available now. I agree sweepstakes are throwing away points and won't use points that way. I'm hoping Home Depot is available in the future; however, just used most of my points on Subway.
