I looked on the Pepsi Stuff website a month or two ago. At that time they had scores of DVDs available, category upon category. The Incredibles, Toy Story, and tons of other movies were all availalbe for 90 Pepsi Points apiece.

Fast forward to now, we finally drank enough Pepsi to have 90 Pepsi Points and all I can find is one stinky page of DVDs available. We wanted to get a movie that our 3 year old could watch and the only thing remotely appropriate is Elmo's World.

So what happened? Did they lose money on the promotion and decide to cut back? Did they just sell out of the limited stock they had? And most importantly, will they be adding more DVDs in, or should I put in for Elmo's World so I don't get stuck with nothing to buy?

Thanks so much!

Tracy

Anyone have an idea?

I hope someone answers you I just noticed that this week too and was hoping for more.... I did get the Pixar short films a couple months ago but now the selection is not so good

[beachdreamer]

I'd like to know the same thing

[Huntinglabmom05]

they are reaching the end of the promotion. This could be the reason.

I didn't realize there was going to *be* an end to the promotion!! I thought it was like mycokerewards where they would run it indefinitely. Where can you find out when it's supposed to end?

[bubbsguy]

It doesn't end till 11/15/08 and they have been out of dvd's for some time now just that 1 page of them.

Well that's kind of crummy that only halfway through the promotion they run out of everything. I'm bummed because I had all the codes in my house already, I just didn't rip them off of all the packages because I figured why rush?

I just sent this to them through their help menu:

Will there be more products added to the PepsiStuff choices? I am very disappointed right now as I had a DVD for my daughter picked out and when I came back to order it, not only was it not available, the selection was diminished by about 90%!

If all I will be able to get with my Pepsi Points are Mork & Mindy DVDs, then I will start actively encouraging my family to drink Diet Coke instead of Pepsi. We have been longtime Diet Pepsi drinkers, but getting gift certificates (from mycokerewards) is better than getting nothing (from pepsistuff).

I actually called Pepsi to find out why this was. I was furious because the same thing happened to me! I've been saving to get my kiddos some good movies. Anyways, they are terribly sorry this is happening and that they didn't expect so many responses to the offer and what they have up now is all they are offering at the current time. They said it was because they were "overwhelmed" with responses. Like they didn't know that we drank that much pepsi. The lady also said this may be all they are offering now until the promotion is over. I expressed my issues with this because it is only June and the promotion continues until November!! She again said that she is sorry! I told her I just might start drinking Coke instead!

In other words, they are terribly sorry, but please continue to purchase their products and continue to check back and waste your time!

Hope this helps!!

My family has only drank Coke and just now started Pepsi, was going to join the point thingy then looked at their prizes and am thinking, why bother, you should atleast be able to get Pepsi drinks.

This is what I got from them:

Bolding mine. Somebody really dropped the ball on this promotion.

Maybe I'm wrong b/c I haven't redeemed any of our points in a while, but aren't they good on any mp3 songs Amazon has? Do they have kids' songs? Not the same as a dvd, but still useful. I hope there's something we can use them on, b/c I have around 100 or so left!

What a crummy response! They should have sent you a free product coupon and a plea to remain a loyal pepsi customer!

On another note, I don't have any Pepsi points because we drink tea and lemonade. They are Pepsi products, included in Pepsi sales, but come with 0 codes/points.
