Mountain Dew promo is live

So the in-game items are locked until early access, but are the physical items available now? Do those come straight from Pepsico or from the Mog Station?

I wonder what the limited edition pc in the promo clip is? It's not on the points page, but they do have some gaming vault thing that seems to promote the rarer items within a much smaller time window. Given the points cost for the higher end items, the daily limit of 15 code entries and the next gaming vault window you would have to be opening and submitting the maximum number of 200 point bottles for 12 days straight just to reach the currently listed top points redemption. A pc would likely have a much greater cost. That's drinking 2.34 gallons of dew a day if you're not wasting it (those big jugs of milk at the grocer are just 1 gallon).

edit: If you started right now you wouldn't even make that first window which is May 20 – May 27. You can only submit between 1500 to 3000 points a day according to the T&C limits (15 max per day and each bottle is either 100 or 200 points). The second and final window within the FFXIV promotion period is June 17 – June 24, which would give a slightly more relaxed time span depending on the point cost if we even get a preview of that.

Everything should be available now while supplies last. Even the codes get distributed now, it's just FFXIV's side of things that isn't ready to accept the code yet. The terms and conditions do state it can take up to 10-12 weeks after redemption to ship out though.

Whaat, region locked events in an MMO game?? What year is it? 2001???? What next? PAL and NTSC copies of the game?

According to Big Sippin on the Mountain Dew Gaming twitter it goes until January.

They should go with another company half the Mountain dew codes don't even work and says invalid. Only 4 out of 10 codes worked from Mountain Dew 20oz bottles bought today. Then they ban you from too many failed entries. They should just add all the items to Mog Station instead. Surprised Mountain Dew hasn't got in trouble yet for giving out bad codes.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to buy some MD for me so I can get the mount? I have a US account, but I live in Europe. I will pay in advance for the codes.

Anyone else experiencing being banned? I've never participated in something like this, my husband either, and we're both getting "Access Denied."

If your IP address is showing you as being outside the US, their site may be set to block you from participating.

Anyone Know if the rules just require you to live in the US or if they also require your Character to be on the US servers?

The mount was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. Haha, oops.
I don't even drink this stuff.

That's a lot of uptime.

Ugh I could barely stomach 6 bottles in a week just looking at all this makes my stomach turn.

The rules state you need to a resident of the US or Guam.

Our assumption is that the code is locked to NA game license accounts (which can include players playing the game on other region worlds).

Your character's home world doesn't matter. Only that you live in the US and possibly your account might need to be an NA account (if you are paying in dollars it's an NA account).

The vault opened up this morning with a few more products available for 3 days.

Igloo Cooler: 9,000 points

Endwalker Collector's Box: 20,000 points

Dawntrail Collector's Box: 20,000 points


A MTN DEW + FFXIV Viper gaming pc for 35,000 points:

Intel Core i7 14700K Processor
Geforce RTX 4080 Super
32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000MT/s
2TB M.2 NVMe SSD
Z790 DDR5
Corsair 850W 80+ Gold Fully Modular
Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Elite.

Honestly did not expect the point cost for the pc to be so low. The graphics card alone is worth more than what you'd likely spend even doing the 100 point turn-ins. It takes a minimum of 12 days if you turned in 15 x 200 points a day (code entry has 15 a per day limit). If someone didn't spend a bunch of points and started on the day that the collab started, they'd have just enough points before the vault closes. A spectacular deal for the pc, but keep in mind you're competing with people that have been saving points since before the ffxiv portion of the points program was in place and there's likely an extremely limited stock on the pc (if not just one).

Sadly, the only code I got doesn't work. Does it take time from the email from the Mt. Dew Marketplace for it to work?

Yeah... just reread the email and tried to make it back here to dirty delete.

Very nice, bought 2 moutain acid bottles and neither of them had codes; what a scam. Square enix, when you do these things please choose healthier food; the least thing we need in "west" countries is more obesity.

The ones with the codes are clearly labeled. If you weren't paying attention, that's on you.

Oh great, I have to run around my town finding these things? HAHAHA! I ain't that desparate for a recolor of a mount that's not that visually appealing to begin with. Now, if it was a recolor of Megaloambystoma we'd be in business.

Just the normal twenty ounce bottles which could probably find at most check out stands or even your a local gas station convenience store would have them should have them. Though I did find one participating bottle and there was no code.

of course the Redeeming Code is Region locked too..
