    Older posts on here have them for about 3 or 4 cents per point or 10 cents per bottle cap. Some of the posts above only count them as 1 cent per point. On the coke rewards website here's how many points you get by item:

    Lids/caps on any size bottles = 3 points
    12 pack cans box code = 10 points
    15 pack cans box code = 15 points
    24 pack cans box code = 20 points
    .5 ltr 8 pack or 12 oz 8 pack = 24 points
    12 oz 30 or 32 pack = 25 points

    Redemption examples at my coke rewards right now are:
    20 oz drink takes 30 points
    12 pack cans takes 240 points
    Magazine subscriptions start at 133 points (Family Circle, Traditional Home, Better Homes) and go up to 400 (Martha Stewart Living)

    In my stores a 20 oz drink costs from $1.39 to $1.59 (plus tx) and we're extremely lucky if we can get 12 pack cans for $3.00 on sale.

    I guess for trading purposes it all just depends on how much you agree on. For selling them on ebay, I would think it's just how bad you wanna get rid of them. If you don't want to key them in, then you'd probably need to take into consideration how much it would cost to stuff all the caps in a big bubble pack and mail them plus your ebay and paypal fees. You might even want to just offer them for sale in the classifieds on HCW. I know personally, I consider the worth more if I can just copy and paste from a list than if I need to read the codes and input them.

    Maybe that'll help.

    There are lots of people here (including me) who are always looking for Coke Points. Personally I cash them in for movie tickets. Keeps our movie budget down, lol.

    At any rate, I tend to think of them as being worth 1-2 cents each. In the "old days" when people first started trading them here, people used to say, well, figure out the prize you would get from Coke, and take the value of that prize divided by the number of points to see what each one should be worth.

    I usually offer .44 or one stamp for every 25 points you have. Using that math, each point is worth 1.76 cents. I once worked all the math out... that's the rate I'm comfortable with. Anything more and I'd actually end up paying more for the coke points than I would just going to buy the movie ticket at the box office. This way I still feel like I get a deal and hopefully so does the person who doesn't want their coke codes. Hope that helps.

    Not super actively trading at the moment, but always interested in MIRs (NBPN in MN), Coke Codes & AMC movie passes! If you insist: my wishlist.
