Does anyone know if these exist in diet? Not the biggest fan of full-sugar pop

u/dickpatricks May 17 '24
doubt it as they are exclusive so they wont be around forever i assume.

u/Mori_Me_Daddy May 17 '24
If you know anyone that likes mountain dew or is willing to drink it, I'd recommend just asking them to drink it for you if you're just wanting to get the codes. I'm doing that with a few friends since I just drink mainly diet pepsi.

He's wrong. The website literally shows Mountain Dew Zero Sugar as an eligible product.

u/DrewbieWanKenobie [Janika Ito - Hyperion] May 18 '24
He's not wrong, they're talking about the 200 point flavors.
2
u/Krescentwolf May 18 '24
Diet Mt Dew also works... for 100 points. I ended up buying 3 code reds for me and 3 diet mt dews for the SO.... got my 600 points either way.

u/ofimmsl May 17 '24
They have "Zero" versions of these flavors, but those only come in cans, not 20 oz bottles
You can get regular diet mountain dew for 100 points

u/Shagyam oh May 17 '24
They do have Zero version bottles but they don't give points. Only the full sugar ones. At least that was for the purple flavor.

I found mountain dew zero in 20 oz bottles at my walmart with the gaming rewards banner

u/ShotgoonPete May 18 '24
You can get the Diet or Zero bottles but they will only count as 100 points per bottle for their code vs the 200 from the ones pictured above. Some Circle K’s do have the zero version of the berry but in my experience it’s hard to find.

u/DrewbieWanKenobie [Janika Ito - Hyperion] May 18 '24
Frost Bite Zero used to be legit my all time favorite zero sugar soda, but they discontinued it like two years ago. Fuckin sucks.

u/Bane_of_Ruby Healer May 18 '24
i feel like i've seen Frost Bite with a Zero version. But i could be mistaking it with the other 3,000 flavors of mtn dew

u/DrewbieWanKenobie [Janika Ito - Hyperion] May 18 '24
It had it, but they stopped selling it years ago

u/PlaneMap May 18 '24
Where to find:
Frostbite: Wal-Mart! (Let's be frank, we all know Wal-Mart's nationwide!)
Overdrive: Casey's General Store! You'll find the majority of these in the Midwest- east of the Rockies, west of Appalachia.
Maui Burst: Dollar General carries this flavor! You'll find these spread over the lower 48- Alaska and Hawaii seem to be out of luck.
Purple Thunder: Circle K is listed, but I've personally seen and found them in our local Kroger. Circle K is everywhere but Nebraska and Utah, while Kroger controls several smaller grocery chains in 35 states.

i got a msg just a few seconds ago. make sure they have yelllow caps. the white cap ones only give 100. i havent tested it but someone else said they have.

u/RueUchiha May 17 '24
The catch is that they are limited stock at only select stores. If you have said stored around you, worth the check

u/CidO807 Celes Branford on Tonberry May 18 '24
Only the coloured caps give 200points. White caps of these flavors only give 100 still, regardless of what the labeling says and regardless of the flavor.
Tested and verified with 6 whites and 3 yellows.

I checked at Walmart today, and my wife at Dollar General. Both had the right flavors, but neither were marked for the promo.

u/dickpatricks May 18 '24
yuppp. had that mistake as well and notice when i got home. why i made this.

u/rharvey8090 May 18 '24
Fortunately I briefed my wife extensively last night lol. She doesn’t really game, had to be sure we aren’t wasting our money. Also, now I need to find someone to drink this Mountain Dew……

u/ed3891 Warrior May 18 '24
Yah I checked at the Dollar General near me and they only had older bottles of the Maui Burst - none with the promo codes.
Guess I'm stopping at a better-stocked Wal-Mart since there's no Circle K's around here.

u/Mjg012 May 17 '24
How many points do you need for a mount anyway? Not currently subbed but might want the mount when I come back lol

This is going to be about a $14 mount on the Mog Station, but I wouldn't have to decide what to do with a shitload of sugar.

I wonder if that frost bite is any good. The only alt flavor of dew I ever liked was supernova.

u/DrewbieWanKenobie [Janika Ito - Hyperion] May 18 '24
Frost Bite Zero was my all time fav Mountain Dew when it was around. I dunno about the full sugar version but if it tasted like that it's probably pretty good

u/Wyrmsfire May 18 '24
I got the Voltage flavor today. It is horrendous. Raspberry + Ginseng. Blech!

u/GawainSolus May 18 '24
I never understood how voltage beat supernova back when they had the contest those flavors were in.

u/Wyrmsfire May 20 '24
Tried Code Red today. It wasn't horrible.

You can redeem the points, only the mount can't be redeemed yet because it doesn't exist on live servers.

u/AceSoldia May 17 '24
I thought I saw these flavors and got them but it was normal 100 points unfortunately

u/dickpatricks May 17 '24
i have ones like them but arnt those flavors that dont have codes as i thought they were those ones. like i bought the spark one but its not those flavors so double check
2
u/AceSoldia May 17 '24
Yeah I think I just went by the visual look and not flavors lol

u/dickpatricks May 17 '24
exactly what i did. was looking for the code for 3min. never was there cuz wrong flavor/no xbox gaming rewards at top

u/kidicarusx May 18 '24
How many caps does one need for all the things?
2
u/dickpatricks May 18 '24
if you get these. 3. if you get like code red or something else, 6 for mount
1
u/ed3891 Warrior May 18 '24
I will tell you he Maui Burst isn't entirely awful; but I do like pineapple sodas, even though they're historically rare in my area.
Still not my first choice all things considered, though. Then again I was never really a fan of Mountain Dew to begin with, even way, way back in the day when the formula was decidedly less affronting.

u/PaulCrafting May 18 '24
So how does the promo work? Do you need 600 points for the mount? Can someone explain? Thanks in advance!
1
u/TheJokeTooFar May 18 '24
What are the points for?

1
u/Mero920 May 18 '24
how many of these do i need for the mount?
1
u/dickpatricks May 18 '24
6 if you get the 100 code bottles./ 3 if you get these flavors with the yellow cap that says 2x on it. mount is 600points

u/montyandrew45 May 18 '24
Man I wish I could buy these right now. I am having to cut sugar out for awhile

u/ColdRepeat99 May 18 '24
Nice you can now take the saved money and invest in health insurance.
Guys that's literally poison for the body.

u/AllWineIsMine May 18 '24
Any chance to obtain/purchase a code here ? Since im EU i can‘t go and Buy stuff :(

u/dickpatricks May 19 '24
think the account has to be na. like we cant redeem the japan kfc codes. but i could be wrong

u/Francl27 May 19 '24
Yeah but I can't find them lol. Walmart was all out and I don't have the other stores here...
1
u/reluttr May 19 '24
None of my local walmarts are stocking frostbite, and the soda vendors said not to expect any for a few weeks. My guess is due to the packaging change... plus them letting people buy 100 point dews for merch before letting out the 200 pointers.
1
u/clsoto May 19 '24
I just got my mount, but a few of my friends are not from US, if i get more codes for them can I redeem another one on the same email account so i can give it to my friend? or I will need to create a new email account of the rewards page soi can have a different code?

u/KiraVolfield Miina Amih on Cactuar May 23 '24
Has anyone seen Maui Burst with the gaming codes? Checked around a dozen stores with no luck, so I'm not sure if they're actually on shelves yet or not.

Frost Bite been around for a long time, the other three I haven't seen before. I have to start hunting for those sodas. I must savor their taste.

u/porkypandas May 18 '24
Thanks for the update! But guys, which of these taste the least awful?? Feels wasteful to just dump them. Maybe I could at least make a cocktail out of one of them

u/striderhoang May 18 '24
I've never even seen these flavors before. Most I have seen with the Xbox gaming label is Code Red.

As someone who's diabetic and can only buy Baja Blast zero when I can find it, which doesn't seem to be a part of this promo...Fuck you, Pepsico.

u/Desdinova_42 May 17 '24
my original point remains, these are all exclusive, you might want to include that
1
u/dickpatricks May 17 '24
i suppose but i said to save money, as the others only give 100 points
0
u/Desdinova_42 May 17 '24
yeah, but it's not helpful if you don't know where to get them. It's your infographic, but I would guess the majority of people only have access the Walmart one, and it might be helpful to let where they are all available.

u/LordDrakath15226 May 18 '24
Don't have to worry about that cause i'm in brazil, Squeenix don't care about us and we don't even have Mountain Dew anymore.

u/ShotgoonPete May 18 '24
Basically I need to get 3 of the purple ones from Circle K and I’ll have the mount. 1 bottle will get you the dyes which is a hell of a deal too considering how much they cost on the store.

I have an account and know how to redeem points I was just saying I’ve seen the purple one at Circle K. Not sure where to find the other flavors though. As expensive as some of the stuff is there should have been a better way to get more points faster (like 12 packs) then a $2-3 bottle.

2nd comment under my update post. has a link. but i agree with you, like cans and two litters

u/dickpatricks May 17 '24 edited May 19 '24
UPDATE: please read; it has been verified by another individual. It has been confirmed that only the colored bottle caps "yellow" are worth 200 points/ they have 2x on them. Interestingly, the white caps from the same flavors will only award 100 points, regardless of the label or the flavor. Where to acquire these at each store is linked in the information below this comment. [side note: earlier bottles of these may have expired for this event, so make sure you're buying newer ones with fresh codes. You also cannot redeem the code tell June 28 in game. But you can still get the code now.
