Mountain Zu Promotion Suggestion

Had my codes ready and just saw on Novice Network that it was Sold Out. Really disappointed.

Unfortunately from what I have seen of the Mountain Dew rewards this is likely the real issue. This is hardly the first time that the Mountain Dew rewards store has run out of digital products for game promos which makes me believe this is more on Pepsi than SE, though SE should have known better than to let that be a part.

Did everyone already forget how great the grubhub promotion was a couple years ago?

I've checked several Walmarts, grocery stores, and other local stores in the last 3 weekends, and I finally got 6 bottles yesterday at a gas station store with my wife's help, and now you're telling me it's out of stock. Digital item, seriously?

I spent $80 on pizza to get it to go through.
Worst handling ever.

It wasn't really a "new" promo for Mountain Dew, it was just more rewards tacked onto their existing XBox code program. They keep shipping the codes because there's non-FFXIV stuff available too. Which is probably also why so many rewards went so fast, people already had points piled up.

That said, yeah, running out of a digital product like this is just stupid.

The FFXIV promo was supposed to end today either way.

Very disappointing. As today was the deadline, I thought I still had time to redeem my points for the mount. Makes no sense for a digital promotion to be capped like this. I only bought the drinks for the mount, so I feel like I wasted my money. Here's hoping SE notices and restocks the codes later on.

Reminds me of the /pizza fiasco

Wouldn't have ran out if it was in their own store......>.>
