I want my bike!

I never keep up with outside promotions for World of Warcraft so if I didn't hear this from a former guildie, I would not have even known about it. Just like the gummy worm pet from the Trolli gummy promotion. This promotion has a mount?!? I need it naturally...

Weeeell turns out this was labeled as "sold out" for a little bit on the MountainDew gaming site. When I heard about this I was sad, but was pretty sure this was only temporary. And yes, sure enough it was only temporary and they were back "in stock", well as much as any digital item can be. yeah that was sarcasm.

I was reading some comments and looks like speculation on why redemption was halted might have to do with people getting multiple item codes and selling them for RL money. Not super sure if MtnDew knew this was going to happen or even if they gave a shit. I mean hey, either way, their products are being bought regardless of who was buying them and for what reason. Mountain Dew wins here I guess.

So the website has the list of participating products and how much points each of them give. My focus was the bike and I wasn't sure if I was going to get the other rewards, so I just bought enough items for that. 3 chips and 3 sodas. I stopped at the corner convenience store that do not sell 12 pks so I made do with what I had. I didn't eat or drink all the items that night so I didn't redeem my mount right away. 

Oh! one of the pops were worth 200 points instead of 100 like I originally thought, AND! the chips codes were on the outside of the bag!

I just got done opening the 3 bags and putting the chips into a big ziplock bag then looked in the bag for the codes, and saw where they were. Um what? so if I was a shady person, I could have just took down the codes and not even buy the damn chips. It's sad cuz I know there are definitely people that would do that shit. Fuck that shit, I need to eat those chips!

Alright now I NEED ALL THE ITEMS!!!!

what's left? 1 belt, 2 pets (I already have Lil Raggy) and 2 aprons (tabards). Truth is so damn sweet he had extra points after he claimed his Blazecycle and he didn't care to get anything else. So he asked what I wanted and I said the belt. He redeemed it and sent me the code. YAY! now my skirt won't fall down! Its so cool looking, It's called a Bot Wrangler's belt. I think I need to use it to capture robots. Perfect! I need to get me 2 robot pets next!

Truth went to the store today and I swear I didn't ask him to, but like he does... nice shit for me. He got a 12 pk of pop and texted me the code. I was able to get the 2 bot pets and 1 apron (I picked the purple one). So I just need 300 more points for the last apron. That's just 1 pop and a chip bag! I'll grab that later this week from the corner store. 
I was really trying to think if I have done other promotions like this before...

I honestly can't remember. Do I like it? I think I prefer this one better then the Trolli pet promo which you had to take a picture of the receipt, submit it then wait about a week for them to respond. with this promotion, I'm sure if Blizzard wanted the items to be a bound to account restriction they could have made that happen. But I can see how difficult that would be as the redemption process is going through a 3rd party website that you do not link your Bnet to. And besides, what company would want to agree to the limited item restriction... that would significantly limit the sale of their products that they're trying to push. Take for example the different point values for the different products. Certain products on the list had different reward point values. I like the regular Mt Dew, but sadly it's only 100 pts. Whereas some special flavor bottles are 200 pts. Bitches I tell ya!! I can imagine MtDew warehouse has soda holding tanks that has a lot of the flavors that are worth more points and they just need to get rid of it. I'm kidding of course, I'm sure there's a more business relatable reason as to why the same ounce, same price, plastic bottle of soda have different reward point values. 

But anyways... here's  a pic of Truth and I on our Doritos bikes!!!!

Aaaaand here is a pic of Truth dead in Satisfactory and funny way his character died.

ok... ok Bye!
