MyCokeRewards offers one redemption at a reduced price on Wednesdays, and today’s Wednesday Deal is a fairly good one: get one year of Real Simple magazine for 200 points. Although the cover price is $4.99 an issue, 12 issues a year, according to MagazinePriceSearch the cheapest price for an annual subscription is $23.88 at Magazines.com. Extrabux offers 30% cash back there, so your final price would be $16.71.
What are 200 MCR points typically worth? Here are some of their other 200 point redemptions:
- A 3 month Club Pogo pass worth $18, or worth $10 for 3 months based on the price of an annual pass
- A Blockbuster Night Coupon worth $12, but good luck in finding a nearby Blockbuster that hasn’t closed down
- Various other 200 point magazine subscriptions including:
- Allure worth $11.95 at DiscountMags with code MPSBIG,
- Glamour worth $11.89 at DiscountMags with code MPSGLM,
- Smart Money worth $7.70 at Magazines.com after 30% Extrabux cashback,
- and Popular Mechanics worth $7 at Amazon,
- or, $10 off at FTD (not really worth $10 because they always have coupon codes out, and if you use the $10 off discount, you have to forgo using a coupon, typically at least 15% off, or $7.50 off a $50 order…so I’d say this is more worth $2.50)
Given this… today’s MCR Wednesday Deal is pretty good if you have an interest in subscribing to Real Simple. I subscribe to it and it’s got some good content. February’s articles included, “The best new products for $2 and up,” “The secret to a great night’s sleep,” and “Hearty and healthy slow-cooker recipes you’ll use (and love) forever.”
