FINALLY! I thought living in LA would make me one of the first people to get one. I’ve just been going to 7-11. $1.09 for 32oz and you can drink Coke.

They are here in Seattle. Not all over the place. Not at Target (as of a few days ago). But a few deli places have them. I’ve won two songs.

The iTunes caps just arrived here in St. Louis earlier in the week.  Same with the iTunes cups at 7-11.  Gotta love being able to fill ‘em with Coke and still get the shot at a song!

Why do they even bother? The promo period ends March 31st. That’s around 2 weeks for them to be on the shelves. They’re going to have a huge overstock of those bottles on April 1st.

The thing is, this was announced last november. They’ve had time to prepare for the promo. Pepsi really messed up. 1.5 months of sales that they’ve missed out on.

I wonder if the delay also hurts Apple. I’ve been holding off on buying anything from iTMS. Just in case I do win, I’d want to have songs to redeem. I’m betting that I’m not the only one doing that.

i was super hyped about this promo ever since it was first rumored because i drink pepsi like water.  however, i live in san diego, apparently part of the L.A. market (because i can’t find any %$^# bottles!)and i’m just extremely let down by the way the promo has gone down.  pepsi really disappointed on this one.  one good bit of news is redemption deadline is 4/30.

I feel bad for Californians.  I have 23 winning caps since the promotion started.  I drink Diet Pepsi, so the music has just been a bonus.

>>“redemption deadline is 4/30”

I’m not sure that means what you think. I think the deadline for entering the code into iTMS is still 3/31. You just don’t have to buy songs with those credits until 4/30. I could be wrong though.

but just in case, we should all bombard Apple with petition to extend the promotion.

No luck from 7-11 in L.A..
I’ve been drinking 32oz cups for the pass 2 weeks , I had 10 of them, none are winners, what happen to the 1 in 3 odds????

Same luck here with the 7-11 cups in LA. I’ve bought 7 of them, and none are winners!
If the odds are 1 in 3 are winners, then getting 7 or 10 with no winners seems pretty suspicious…

i live in orange county and i’ve been going to 7-11 almost daily. they have the slurpee/soda cups, and i bought one and didn’t win. i also drink diet pepsi like water, 4-5 cans a day, and i haven’t spent a dime at iTunes. i was hoping to win a couple of songs to try it out.
