First Betty Crocker points are discontinued, and now this? (sigh) It’s a sad year in the loyalty program biz.
Kraft Foods has a note on their website saying, “Use your KOOL-AID points for great KOOL-AID items. But don’t delay, because these items are only available while supplies last or until June 30, 2007, when the Kool Points program ends.”
Update, May 2009: By popular demand, Kool-Aid will allow you to redeem any accumulated points using this form, until June 30, 2010! They also say the 800-367-9225 is still the number to call if you have questions or concerns.
Some would say this program has been dying a slow death for years, with the items available for points redemption getting fewer and have required a greater amount of cash in addition to the points. I’ve had members posting complaints on my review of Kool-Aid Points since 2004.
Kraft says to call 1-800-367-9225 for more information on this, or to contact them here.
Thanks to Cathie for the heads-up on this.

I’ve been trying to get catalogs or whatever else kool-aid has to offer and i haven’t been able to experience the cool stuff that you had. Please don’t let kool-aid die!!!!!!1
Isn’t this faults advertisement?
this is stupid…. they canclled the points… i have over 100 that i was saving up but now i cant spend them…. i think they should start the points back up
I would just like to cash in my kool-aid points and recieve mail so if possible could you send me a booklet full of points and prizes.
I Thank you,

My kids have been saving their Kool-Aid points for a long time in hopes that something worth sending off for like the super balls, would become available, and now that we have saved over 200 points, and try to go onto the website,, we find this out!!! My five year old actually started to cry!! SOOOOOO sad–Tell the Kool-Aid Man that he is no longer cheered at when we see one of his commercials. They have even lost interest in Kool-Aid itself. My son actually picked water over Kool-aid yesterday!! Imagine my surprise. I have been drinking Kool-Aid ever since I can remember. Maybe I’ll keep the points for a while in hopes that points will be available again, or at least until we can get a catalog to redeem our points, if possible. Thanks–disappointed 4
Why, if they have discontinued the points program in 2007 are they still selling the packages with points on them.
i have over 3000 points and like you have been saving to buy something good but things are not in the catalog
My kids and my Grandson have saved points all their life. We have 28 years worth of points. This is disappointing.
My brother and I have been trying out hardest to get points. We have like 200 now and we can’t even get something. That is really dumb. Please bring them back! I am begging you…………. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! Now I get to go tell my brother. This is going to be a very disappointing for him and he is only 5 years old.
I didn’t know the kool-aid points was now gone. so all my points is
gone and I will not pay anymore kool-aid.Guess i will try something
else and give up on kool-aid.
Thank You

I cannot believe this! I have saved of 300 Kool Points and now the Kool Point Program is over. I am so mad now. I have been saving these things for 3/4 years now I can’t redeem my tickets to get a prize. I wish I can get a catalog to get to redeem these tickets. My little brother whom I have save these tickets for was so upset. I hope this will become available again.
It’s fine if they want to discontinue the point’s program. But they should allow people cash in what the already have and stop selling packages with points on them
This really is disappointing. Although, I somehow feel free to buy whatever drinks I want for my kids. In the back of my mind I would always think, I should just get koolaid so the kids can collect the points. 300 points later, nothing. Why did I waste all these years? We will be drinking homemade lemonade and fruit juices more often and trying different kinds of mixes. Thank you, Kraft, for liberating me of the desire to buy koolaid!
disappointing i have like 350 that i have had forever and all i really wanted was a watch
now i guess i’ll have to go onto ev=bay to get it
My son and I have been collecting points for over thirty years. I would get kool aid gifts for Christmas gifts for my brothers. And now that they’re grown they still talk about the cool shirts I got them and the beach towels and watches. Are you going to bring them back. We sure miss it and have lots of points still that we could use.
I have been saving points for years and have over 4ooo!!! I have asked for catologs constantly and NEVER gotten one and now they say the points are discontinued!That was the best thing about buying kool aid.I have a grandson now and had planned to buy kool aid and save points for him to buy cool little things.Why now! They need to bring the points back!
Why don’t you send your feeling to Kraft. I’m sure they probably won’t reintroduce the program, but as a consumer, I think it is our responsibility to give them some feedback. Here’s a link. I hope it works.

My children have been saving their points for a long time. Now we have over three thousands points and nothing to da with them. Kool aid has become a joke.
To get a catalog from Kraft call 1-800-367-9225 and they will send you one and also you can talk to someone there and tell them how you feel about the points being canceled, My friends and family have called several times every day and every week and maybe it will help and maybe it wont but they will get the message sometime.
I had my Kool-Aid order form printed and fill out to redeem my points. I don’t have an address to mail it to. Is is too late to order these items.
Thank you,
hello
PLEASE start the points again. I’ve been saving just to get the pitcher and glass set. PRETTY PLEASE
I have 3 children that have been looking forward to having match Kool-Aid shirts. Now that we have 1025 points I wanted to see how many more points we needed, but the points are gone. When I buy Kool-Aid I look for the points. Telling bad news to one child is hard to deal with; now I have got to tell THREE!
Kool-Aid,
You should stop selling things with points, give people a chance to redeam what points they have, OR BRING THE REWARD POINTS BACK.
Three broken hearted children
oh my gosh i can’t believe that i can’t use the points that my girls and i have saved since they have been little. we have been wanting to get something really good and saved lots of points. i can’t believe it. why would they keep putting points on packages then? i think the points rewards should be brought back. i also think we should be able to redeem what we have saved so long for and get something. so, so sad!
this really is a very sad day for the kraft foods co. i cant believe they would cancel the kool aid points program my kids are very disappointed as am i. there should have been more of a notice. this is an outrage i will not be buying kool aid any longer. twenty eight years of drinking one of my favorite refreshments i am extremely disappointed
what a cruel trick to play on a Nana. My grandchildren thought Nana was cool because she taught them to save points for prizes and some knucklehead decided that since it didn’t increase his paycheck to keep the program running he decided he would just screw over little kids. Nice going hot shot!
Yeah, I’m a dedicated fan of kool-aid. I have probably 1000 points now. always saving for something big. I have 4 children that loved it whenever mom go kool stuff. Wishing and hoping for a come back. Be KOOL.
This is the saddest thing, I have saved point for my kids and now my grandkids, bring back the points and the prizes or expect people to quit buying your product, after all your not the only game in town. Kids like things they can work towards, its fun for them. You take the fun out of life for kids, what kind of business are you running?????
My kids have been saving points for years and years. They have thousands. Now that they have enough to get the big stuff they can’t get any thing. Please bring back the points.
I have over 3,000 points, my daughter thinks kool aid man is great. Now what do I tell her when she can’t get anything. Why do you still have points on the containers? Can’t you make everyone happy and bring back the products!! Why do you take something away that makes people happy? I don’t get it.
Please listen to your customers…I can’t imagine a better marketing gimick…..get people to buy your brand to collect points to obtain products with your logo…..free advertising or what!!!!
There is a lot of competition out there that may be cheaper, why should we stay loyal to a company that has abandoned us? I know that I am going to try other products as there is no incentive to stay with Kool-aid. I will hang on to my points untill you come to your senses.
Bring back the STUFF! PLEASE! give those of us who didnt know where to redeem the points another chance. My kids have been waiting patiently for me to gather enough points as to be fair when come time to redeem for COOL STUFF! I have five kids and lots of points! now you tell us they are just to be thrown away? You should bring it back at least untill there are nolonger points on packages. these are giveing our kids false hope cause they are still collecting! Kool Aid ROCKS!
I have a lot of points collected – years ago they were for my children, now they are for my grandchildren. My daughter had gotten a Barbie doll once with some points and my grand-daughter has checked many times to see if Kool-aid brought it back so she could order it. So sad there are no Kool-aid products to order any more.
You obviously have alot of dissapointed Moms and their children. So what are you good people at Kraft going to come up with? Shurley you have a Promotional Department, well maybe not. Since your in Mexico how about some Kool-Aid flavored Chicklets for all the LOYAL Kool-Aid Fanatics.
Signed
Not Kool
This makes me sad, me and the rest of my family have been collecting these things since they were born. We have a huge amount of them, i guess there gonna hit the garbage then…
this stinks, my mom has a hundred, now what… jeeze!
I have loved collecting Kool-Aid points since I was a kid. Now my son is collecting them. Don’t let the tradition die. Heck I still have a beach towel I got years ago.
Ididn’t know you stopped the points. I’ve gotten cars, barbie dolls cups and many other items for my older children now I have points for my youngest and nothing to get him. I would like a catalog to use them also.
would like a kool aid catalog for cool prizes.
My kids have saved kool-aid points and we didn’t know you had stopped redeeming them. We would like a catologe so they can use them.
I can’t believe the point system has stopped. I have been saving points since I was a kid and now I save them for my niece and nephews. They love Kool-aid and thought it would be fun for them to collect them and get great stuff, but no not know. This is very upsetting … what in the world am I supposed to do with all of my points??? Throw them away, that is a waste … is there any possible way to redeem them??? Like is there still away I can get a catologe and redeem what I have????
I have 141 points sitting here in a plastic baggy. Come on, Kool Aid! Bring back the redemption for your dedicated fans! I have a koolaid beach towel from 15 years or so ago, and my 18 year old son LOVES this towel. I got a red plastic pitcher and mug set a while back and my kids played in the bath tub with this set for YEARS. I’m sure Kraft has all kinds of promotional stuff in their proverbial closet… please let us use these points toward that? Kool Aid Man rocks!
Man,it is so upsetting. I have been saving the points and never could get a catalog for my children. TAKE THE POINTS OFF YOUR PACKAGES AND STOP MISLEADING YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!!
THIS MAKES ME FELL LIKE GIVING WYLER’S THE BUSINESS. AT LEAST THEY HAVE NEVER LIED TO MY KIDS!
I’m so sad to find that i can’t redeem my points. I have 3 ziplocks full I was looking to redeem for my grandchildren. I’ve gotten such fun things for the kids over the years. Its family tradition to “wish list” the koolaid catalog!..Bring back the fun!!!!!!!
I just found out now, this is not good at all we have lots of points piled up in bags and would really like to redeem them so it would be nice if you guys would bring it back for loyal customers, we deserve some catologues at least so we can get something for what we saved for we still buy them and will for as longs as your company supplies them so bring it back!!! sniff sniff.
My family has collected koolaid ponts for 20 years. I can’t believe you’re stopping them. Well, like some of the others say I am free to buy other brands now that I don’t have to worry about points.Koolaid is on sale for .10 a pack and Disney for .05 which one do you think I’ll buy?
I think that this is rediculous because my kids and family have three large containers of points … they should have advertised that you need to cash in the points as this is being discontinued and they would not be valid after … date … What were they thinking??? It is one of the favorite drinks and frozen treats we use all year round. Someone should bring it back and phase it out properly for the customers.
I cannot believe that there will be no redemption of Kool-Aid Points!!! I have two very disappointed children! I think that anyone that currently has points should be able to redeem them and you should STOP putting them on Kool-Aid products as this is very decieving.
WITHOUT THE POINTS WE WILL NO LONGER BE DRINKING KOOL-AID, I GUESS WE WILL LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE!
L.Woytkiewicz
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED I AM A MOTHER OF 3 AND WE HAVE BEEN SAVING POINTS FROM WHEN MY FIRST CHILD WAS OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK KOOLAID!! I WENT TO REDEEM MY POINTS FOR A PRIZE AND COME TO FIND OUT THE PROGRAM WAS DISCONTINUED:( WE HAVE SAVED OVER 3,000 POINTS OVER THE YEARS NOW WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH ALL THESE POINTS???? I LIKE TO THINK KOOLAID IS A ASSEMBLE OF THE AMERICAN FAMILY AND OU HAVE LET ALL THE KOOLAID BUYER FAMILIES DOWN! PLEASE START THE KOOL POINTS PROGRAM AGAIN! THANK YOU!!
I called Kool-aide today to find out that they did discontinue the point system BUT they did have a few items left over. We have been saving these points for years. I guess we will not have to be loyal to the Kool-aide brand anymore.
KoolAid company should’ve thought of the kids that are out there. I think they are very inconsiderate for doing this.
I am really disappointed that kraft has stop the kool-aid points have a huge bag full even started saving the ones that don’t have points because I’ve been collecting for 15 years to get alot of stuff. Loved the prizes please bring them back we all seem to have points to redeem.
I like several before me have mentioned, have been saving points for almost 20 years. Now, I have children and want to redeem point for fun and cool prizes, log onto the site only to learn it’s been discontinued. Imagine my astonishment and disappointment, I haven’t told the children they are not redeemable yet. I am an optimist, I believe the company will restore quality service to it’s loyal customers and again offer redeemable points for “kool” prizes for children. There’s mnore than enough disappointment in the country today…not the discontinuation of the kool-aid points too!
I was very disappointed also when finding out that you no longer can redeem the kool-aid points. I have been saving them for over 20 years and have a ton of them that I would like to redeem. I never even knew that they had a catalog you could order from. I have not always had access to the internet either. Then finally, one day, I was going online to find out what I could redeem them for only to see that they are no longer doing that. I am a very disappointed kool-aid customer. I would love to see you bring back the points, or at least let us redeem the ones we have!
How sad. I’ve noticed only recently that points no longer are even available on the packets. I’ve thousands saved up from the past decade, and now they’re completely unusable. Honestly, buying something to save up for little things like that is generally silly, but my family has bought Kool-Aid specifically over other, cheaper brands for the points.
Though I guess that’s how marketing works.

Thanks, David
well i was so excited when i counted up my points then i got online and no longer can use them.
needless to say we will not be buying kool-aid anymore because of this, it was an exciting thing to save them up with my boys and get something out of it. It just doesn’t happen anymore these days and i though you were the last company that still cared about the customers and kids. Like cereal you used to get the toys in the box now you have to seve 10 box tops and send money for a toy that breaks in a few days anyways, very sad… what you should do is send coupons for kool-aid in exchange for the points people have saved in some cases since we were kids.
just like everyone else. ive been collecting koolaid points for a while. why would you get rid of them. it doesnt make any since. any idea how many consumers buy koolaid just because of the points? i dont think it will take long for them to bring it back. besides, its not like they are actually paying for these products any way. anything that they make themselves doesnt cost them much of anything. they make money off the overpriced shipping and handling charges. very disappointed in koolaid. it was the one company out there that was truly pro-children. i will no longer buy koolaid, back to fruit juice for me. they dont offer points, but they dont claim to and then later take it away, sure my kid will be ok with it as well. dont have the heart to tell him that koolaid is taking the points system away. im gonna have to go and buy something and pretend that i got it from you
Me and my kids were saving points,we have over 600. Then we noticed that WalMart sold Kool-Aid without points. I called your customer service and was told that the rewards program was to continue and to keep saving my points. So I was lied to by this Kool-Aid rep.That was a year ago, and if she would have given me the correct information my kids could have used their points.Now I have 3 very disappointed kids.
I have been saving the kool aid points for years now for something big or now for something for my almost 2 year old boy and soon my new comming son. I wish we could get back on track with the points and prizes. I’m a little disapointed I saved for that long and now I saved for nothing. Please bring back the prizes!!!
Awwwee come onnnn, bring back the program. Even though you can’t get a good deal on items anymore, it’s still fun to save and redeem the points for “fun/kool” stuff. SOMEBODY listen to us! Bring the Kool-aid program back. I still have stuff i sent away for in the 70′s. I’d like my kids to experience Kool-Aid like I once did. This is not good PR for your company. Any good marketing director would be all over this and bring back the program to keep customers and consumers happy as well as creating/bringing back to life a program that all people young and old can participate in. Your company needs to thrive once again. You’re doing more harm by not working this out fast enough. I’m looking forward to seeing someone STEP UP and get the program rolling again!!
my kids have saved and saved and they wanted to cash in . And now there is no information to cash there points in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a shame to go threw all that kool-aid and get no rewards at the end I may as well had purchased flavor-aid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me annd my mom think u should bring back the points cuz me got alot like over 1000 points and u guys r gonna ruin it.watev
I do hope you bring the points back.I have been buying koolaid for over 50 years and now have been saving the points for my grandkids.I’m so upset I want to throw them out but won’t because I have high hopes of you bringing them back.Please bring them back.You’re disappointing alot of little kids if you don’t plus a ton of grandmothers.
June 17, 2008
I have been saving these points since 1978 for my kids and grandkids an I just found out they are no longer doing the points. This is really sad. My kids (who are now in their 30′s ) look forward in shareing this with their kids. I hope that the company restore the reward an point system. I’m gonna hold on to my points until something happen.
Sincerely your,

I like many others have been saving points for approx. 20yrs. Over the past 5 years I have been going online and looking for something decent to use these points for. Unfortunately lately nothing really appealed to my kids. So we continued to save in the hopes that they would bring up something that wasn’t so cheesy. Now we find out that they haved cancelled the program. Given the fact that they continue to post points on their products this smacks of fraud.
I agree it’s sad, and I too would have liked to redeem my points for prizes, but in the long run it would be better (fiscally) for Kraft to just offer purchasing high quality Kool-Aid products (such as pitcher/glass sets, beach towels etc…) for profit on their website. The number of devoted fans on this website alone says to me that Kraft could in fact turn a negative into a positive experience. I think, if Kraft were to pursue a for-profit venture with the Kool-Aid Man, they should offer all the loyal point collectors a discount so they don’t feel ripped off and cheated. And finally, I agree they need to step up to the plate and change the packaging — it’s really cruel to continue a hoax such as this!
As of today (June 21, 2008) on Kool-Aid’s website (www.bekool.ca)there is a page for “Get Stuff” and it’s to redeem your points. Looks like the program is still running.
The web-site is for Canadian Res. I have 1000′s of these points, like everyone else waiting for the large purchase.
MY daughter treasa clary has kool-aid point,s to get rid of she would kile to find out where to send them.As she alway,s had a place to do it befor and got alot of nice thing,s with the point,s she had.please let me know .Either by send to me or writting to me tTHANK YOU JANET DeLarm.
i wish you would give us a chance to redeme the kool-aid points for something good . i have been saving for 26 years i have 9000 pts and would like to order thank you
We have been saving for a long time to get the tent and now have a bucket full of points and believed we had enough!!! Now you cancelled our opints what do we do now??????
You took our fun away!
I have been saving my points for years. Now to find out that I have to throw them away because you guys discontinued the redemption of Kool Aid points. Its a sad state of affairs! I am truly crushed.
If you go to http://www.comparerewards.com/archives/004517.html you can find out how you can still redeem your points, but it’s only while supplies last.
To whom this may concern:I have been collecting kool-aid points
for awhile now.So far i have over a thousand points,what do i do
with my points now.Will i be able too get KOOL-AID STUFF still?
My mom bought them so i can get KOOL STUFF.
VERY VERY UPSET YOURS TRUELY JOCE
why don t you stop selling packs with points. it is just a disapointment for the kids to see it but not use them. kool-aid company must not have kids. otherwise the program would still be around. very sad.
this sucks 2200 pts gone,maybe we should drink another product
very disappointed can we still order I just called the 1 800 number given and says all employees are enjoying the summer vacation does this mean we can not get any info when are they back and please let us use the points we have supported you all these years and this was our little joy in collecting the points.
Karen and family
To whom it may concern; My daughter DeeAndra Robinson and i have been collecting points since she was born. Being a child growing up life was great collecting these points with my mom and the wonderful kool-aid stuff to choose from with your required points. Anyway, i wanted my child to enjoy what was part of my life growing up. P.S we will still collect the points as long as its on the packages of kool-aid products. we hope you change your minds and let the ones who have collected the points to redeem what we can. Kathleen Burke
I have been collecting kool-aid points since i was about 4 yrs old, well i am now 25 and have a few thousands of points…(no joke). I finally thought that now is the time to do something and found out that they are now cancelled. This is a big huge gigantic disapointment for my life. Why even put points on things if you are just going to cancel this stuff out. All this is doing is causing not just disapointment in my life but many childrens lifes out there that picked this up for a hobby when they’re parents make kool-aid or they do. Please i beg you please bring them back!!! I don’t want to throw all my points away because i have worked too long at accumalating these to just through them away. Please please bring them back!!!!!!
I just graduated from high school. I’ve been saving points my entire life. I use to yell at people when they threw them away. I make everyone in my family drink Kool-Aid so I can have the points. I have been saving points for years planning to get prizes after graduation so my family will see that all theses years wasn’t a waste. and i look up. And what? to my horrible suprise… it was all a huge waste of my time. and i have nothing to show for it except about 50,000 worthless kool-aid points. Im praying I am going to wake up and find out that this was all a horrible dream. PLEASE let me wake up!
My grandparents have saved the points for 15yrs and when all their grandchildren got a bit older so they could all benefit they were going to use them for the family. They have a big tubaware bowl full. What are they going to do???? Don’t Stop the points, What would that do to help them? Come on think about it!!!!!
i hate kool aid for ever for being homosexual like this
Every year we collect points and wait for the forms to come out in the summer – I can not believe that they have discontinued the points program. My kids and I have been ordering stuff with points for 17 years. Now we have more than I want to count up that are just goning in the trash. I guess water is better for you anyway.
This is the thanks you get for spending extra instead of buying cheap stuff.
koolaid for taking the points away you can go to the trash with them. I’m 38 now and i been saving since i was 13 yrs old now i have 2 kids who loves drinking koolaid but now i’m going to stop that. thanks for wasting my time.
ive been saving kool-aid points for my grand kids ever since i can remember now i would like to trade them in for something nice for the kids and you have stop the program. that sucks! no wonder kids are drinking all this other mess.please bring back the programs.this is from a 72 year old grandma.
i am very disappointed in knowning i can’t do anything with 10+ years of points. i have been saving points for my children for as long as i can remember. they were in elementary school when we started. they are both OUT of college. i wanted to get something for my grandson, so i went to the site tonite to read-
NO MORE POINT for gifts. WHY?????????????? please bring it back. i do not want to throw away years of investments. i have bags of points. we average about three packs a day, more in the summer. i only have one grandson and a daughter at home. my husband drinks about 2 pitchers EACH day. That is a lot of KOOL-AID, I keep an average of 3 bags of sugar in the cabinet each day just for KOOL-AID. Please bring the program back.
We’ve been saving for several years. Hope you bring the program back. With a family of 5 we drink alot of Kool-Aid.
This is very disappointing for my 85 year old patients who’s been saving them for 3 years!!!
we have been saving kool-aid points for over 10 years and now my daughter is very upset because she cant redeem them. all the years of
effort for what ?? Please start up kool-aid points again.
we have been saving kool-aid points for years. hope you bring it back so i can redeem my points
ouch here too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 875 points saved up to try forsomething good. what a nice reward from kool aid.????????
this is just one more sad state of affairs in america today. as i scrolled down and saw all the posts i was surprised at how many ameircans still have some family values. big companies do not care about loyalty because if you don’t drink koolaid you will surely be buying one of their other products. i used to believe that the little guy counted but these are not those days anymore. i have been collecting kool aid points also since my 23 year old son was 3. just this morning i noticed one of the packets did not have points, so i came to the computer and found out this dissappointing news. kraft foods is not interested in being rewarding to its loyal buyers, there is another right around the corner. all they are interested in is bucks. money and profit is the way of this sad world. kraft has so many products and subcompanies i would not be surprised to see kool aid disappear altogether. they just do not care about people like us.
My son has been collecting the koolaid points for along time he has over about 350 points. Now what is going to do with them he had been saving them for some cool items well their goes that.
I have been saving points for over 24 years. I have redeemed some of my points in the past, but I have still saved over 11,000 points.! That a big OUCH! We love Kool-Aid! It is to bad I won’t be able to redeem the points for something really Kool.
I am sooo disappointed! I saved these with my kids, who shared their memory of their Koolaid picture and mugs with my granddaughter, and had just started saving them with her for the same.
It’s a shame the simply financial lesson this provided is being discontinued. Saving for a goal isn’t necessary or encouraged anymore.- maybe little koolaid charge cards will be issued …
Shame on you Kraft Foods!!! You’ve forgotten how humble your beginnings where when you went door to door peddling cheese. Times have changed, but the same like minded people who helped you rise to the top, can also help bring about your fall from grace. You would do well to remember this while you launch your program to cheat millions of children and adults by discontinuing Kool-Aid points, and making merchandise unobtainable. Like you I have been around a long time, but unlike you I haven’t forgotten lost my moral values.
Theresa of NC
I have been saving point for a few years now and promised my grandkids they could use them for what ever they wanted just as I hd done when my kids were small. I just can’t believe you would stop such a wonderful tradition. Plus I am still buying Kool AIde with points on them. What up with that???????
I checked your website early this year and saw a beach towel that I wanted to use my Kool-Aid points on. I have enough saved, but cannot find the place to order the towel. Can you help me?
This is sad. A tradition like this, which has gone on for years, shouldn’t be stopped like this. If anyone could send a catalogue for points *if they’re still in print that is* I’d appreciate it. My kids have been saving points for a while now, and I’d love to get them a little something to show for it.
Between my two sisters and I we have been saving up points for almost 21 years. We finally make it to over 3000 points and we find out they aren’t doing it anymore. We are a little upset but we will be saving them for the hopeful return of the kool-aid point store.
I have been saving Kool-Aid points with my son since he was old enough to drink Kool-aid. That’s been 8 years. We have saved over 6,000 points, then go to the website to see what we can redeem them for and find out that have discontinued the program. That stinks. I remember saving my points as a child and anxiously waiting for my Koo-Aid Man pitcher and mugs. How disappointed my son was when he found out that all the points we saved are now worthless. I will think twice before buying Kool-Aid again.
Angie in Indiana
I just found out about the points.That is mess-up but the people who would like to buy KOOL-AID stuff should look at Alberson’s and United they sell the pitcher,glasses,and I do believe bows.
Shame on the Kraft Company. Its would have been nice for consumers to get notice when offers are going to be discontinued. Our family has around 5000 pts. Now they are worthless pcs of paper.
But Kraft will suffer in the long run. Our family will not purchase any more products by this Company. They show little loyality to their customer base. They take US and our MONEY for granted.
Some ppl would say Not to make a big deal out of points!! But the gifts were for our children. They enjoyed drinking the kool-aid, and getting a gift or two in return.
Kraft will end up going the way of The Big Three Car Makers and K-Mart. When you forget who pays your salaries….
I WAS LOOKING UP TO SEE IF THE POINTS COULD BE TURNED IN BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET SOME BEACH TOWLES FOR MY GRAND KIDS THE ONES WE HAD HAVE SEAN BETTER DAYS.
BUT I GO LONG WITH THE REST OF THE LETTERS I READ IF YOU ARE TAKING SOMETHING OFF THE MARKET YOU LET PEOPLE KNOW.
I THINK YOU DO FORGET WHO PAYS YOUR SALARIES IF THE STORES DID NOT SELL IT YOU WOULD NOT GET PAYED
BY THE WAY I WORK AT ONE OF THE WAL-MARTS I WILL PASS THE WORD ON AND WILL SEE THE SALES DROP.
My son has saved points since he was small child. Now is is grown and saving for my grandkids. I have over 1,000 points. If this has been discontinued you need to stop selling kool-aid with points on them which is very stupid if you know the points are not worth anything.
I have over 10,000 points saved up because I have not been able to get a catalog. Now all for not!!!! Bring back the points or send me a catalog or something. Been wanting the vintage drinking cups with matching pitcher. I had them as a kid, I want them again for when I have my kids. BRING BACK THE POINTS!!!!!!!!!!
this is stupid the points are still on the packets to this very day they still are and their no point in them.. i think its time for us to rite some nasty letters!
I have been collecting kool-aid points since my kids were born.. and now that i finally got the internet I decided to go online because I cant find a kool-aid catalog to see what i can get.. I have 594 kool-aid points and now I see that you cant redeem your points? What is wrong with this company? Why are you still selling products with points and not warning anyone about how the points are no longer good? I didnt know..and everyone I know didnt know either.. We are very upset with this and believe this is wrong and it is not very professional. It is false advertising!!!!
I have been collecting Kool-Aid points since I was a kid and had several opportunities to redeem. I stopped during my college years and started to do so again about 5 years ago for my kids…Now the program is discontinued. Thanks for NOT being loyal to us faithful kool-aid kids/parents. I guess I will not be loyal either and start buying the store brand as that is what is chaepest.
add me to the list of disappointed customers who have been saving points …… with all the advertising for buying your products no word about this program ending anywhere…..at least let us redeem the points for coupons towards the purchase of kool aid or other products available.
Wow!!!! I have been saving points since I had my kids. I cant believe there r no rewards. I thought it would be something cool for my kids 2 enjoy and gain from! Something they could do themselves when they were older & wanted 2. well that day has finally come & there is nothing! How disappointing & sad. I am disgusted by the fact that I am still to this day purchasing their products w/ the rewards & nothing 2 do w/ them. If a program does not exsist, the points should not either. I will just save my family money a purchase another brand! What is happening 2 us? Is there anyway 2 redeam what I have already saved?
I think everybody should switch to flavor aid drink to show Kool aid how upset we are about the discontinuing of the kool aid points, and Flavor Aid is cheaper.
please bring back the points. i have a bag full that i never got to spend.thank you!!!
I agree this is sad, i was cleaning some kitchen stuff out and found the super sized bag of over 1k kool aid points easily and decided to check and see what they had to offer, and to my surprise..NOTHING..i find only this site.
i recall a time when the grocery store had the rip of catalogues next to the stand and you could get tons of things, even a GAME BOY if you had enough points!
i guess they just decided they can make mmore profit this way.
im older now so i rarely drink kool aid anyways but i fear when i have kids they wont have the same fun times as i did.
RIP kool aid
You know it is sort of sad that the kool-aid points ended,but I rarely see the Kool-aid guy on television anymore anyway doing his thing, I was just cleaning my pantry and found over 500 points and now I have nothing to do with them but discard them, such a shame. I even found the order form with a lot of neat stuff on it, apparently when I got this order form I didn’t have enough points to order the stuff I wanted at the time so when I did get enough points to order the things I wanted I guess I must have misplaced the order form, so Now I am stuck with a bunch of points and nothing to do with them.. Anyway I grew up on Kool-aid never liked flavor aid I wish the kool-aid man well because without the children he will do nothing. Good luck.
This is so disappointing I have just counted all my points which totaled 7,819 I came to redeem them in and now they say its cancelled. I can’t beleive this.
I come to redeem pionts I have been saving and they no longer do it. I am very disappointed in Kool-aid. There should be some way to take legal action against them since they still advertise the pionts on there products. That is false information they are putting out there for people if you can no longer use them. They need to take the points off their products or bring back the ability to redeem points since there is such an out cry for them. There are so many people that are upset with kool-aid for this including myself. I do believe there is action(s) that can be taken against kool-aid for doing this.
My grandson is 5 years old. He saw me clipping Kool-Aid points when he was 2 1/2, ever since then we have been saving them together and would look for something cool to celebrate his starting school. We sat down together this past weekend and found out the program no longer existed! You should have seen his face! How could a company so big, not be able to get support and find items that were worth wild for point collectors to get cool stuff. I was lucky enough years ago to get in on the VideoNow deal with disc’s, that was totally awesome! I truly do hope that this program comes back, but for now, I have to deal with one sad little boy and he is mad at Kool-aid for doing this. He won’t even drink it any more. These kids are our future and you can’t afford to lose business! Hope they reconsider!
i have over 3,000 kool-ade points and i hope the rewards come back
why are the points still on the kool-aid items if they are no longer of use???? giving the consumer a false idea.
I just decided to see what was available for the kook-aid points that have been sitting on the counter in a jar. We just added them up and have 1173 and the kool-aid still comes with points how unfair that the kids can’t use them. Please bring back the points or take them off the kool-aid packages. Thanks
That’s too bad they went away. I also cleaned out a drawer and thought I would see what I could get for my grandchildren. I guess it is a BIG NOTHING at this point. Would like to see the program come back, but I guess like they say ” All good things come to an end ” maybe better things could make a new start. How about it Kraft?
i have been collecting kool-aid points throughout my life and have sent away for products in the past and have collected again 4 the past 8 years foe my children that were not yet even thought of and now i have a 6 year old boy and a 4 year old girl i did call the 1 800 number provided on the top of the page i also called the head office in glenview il.usa and they simply stated that there is nothing that i can do to have this reinstated i have argued on behalf or all of the disappointed families and crying children and the way i see it is that the only way to fight this is to boycot all kraft foods the address i was provided was (KRAFT FOODS GLOBAL,INC Kraft Court Glenview,il. US 60025)i feel that we need to do something as the consumer to have this reinstated for our children this is like telling a kid they can have a toy and then telling them you lied do you want kraft to lie to your kids i know i don’t i am fighting this and i wont stop until this is corrected.you can contact me @ LORIANNE27@HOTMAIL.COM TO FURTHER THIS FIGHT
i an 10 yearz old i save them too.i been saving my points i have a 102.can any one cash them in sombody please help me or bring the program bak cuz i am still drinking kool-aid can they bring the points kool-aid bak………………….hey kool-aid where are you…………i miss you…………bring it bak………..
I am so dissappointed i am 32 and have been saving since i was little :-{ ! If things chang please contact me !
This sucks i’ve saved up points since i was like 3. I was trying to use them and find out i can’t! IS there anything that can be done?
Yes, This is a disappointment for me also!!I just moved some real old things of mine I haven’t seen in about 15 years.Well I found my points!! I was saving up for the drink set & some other cool cool-aid things. I am 43 now with almost 7 year old twins that started saving when they were just a few months old.I have a whole contaner full of them
Soooo Sad:-(Soooo Sad:-(I will keep mine also in hopes of a miracle…
this is sad why dont ya take points off packages and whats the kool-aid poit redemption number on packs all about?please contact me by email if i dont hear from you ill start purchasing the store brand thank you disapointed buyer
I have been saving points for a long time about 15 years and after returning to my mothers home to clean out my old room, there they were. I had to google the information to find out they are no longer accepting the points thats very sad. There should be some kind of gift for even taking time to care and partipate in this program.
What a disappointment, I’ve been saving kool-aid points for years.
I have almost 1000 points and now I find out their no good anymore, WOW. Maybe if enough people are heard they could bring them back. If there’s anything I can do to help please e-mail me.
Thanks, Mark.
I am so upset I have huge bags full of these points and there better be some way to recieve some sort of price for all of my effort and all the money we spent on kool aid
I have been saving kool-aid points for more than 20 years, I have over 5,000 points accumlated. I can’t believe they stopped the point redemption program! Maybe if enough complaints are logged, they’ll bring it back! I won’t buy kool-aid again until they DO bring it back! I’m still going to hang on to my points for awhile, that was a lot of work to get this many. You never know, are you listening kool-aid execs?
I just wanted to give consumers some hope by using this example of what happened to Block Buster the video rental store. They were sued to charging late fees!!! Now late fees are removed!You can be 7 days late returning and owe NOTHING!!! Maybe Kraft Foods will take heed to this because there is someone out there that their points being redeemable means more about (principal of the fact) than anything else including money that it takes to get you to do the right thing for your loyal consumers. This is not the right way to end a program and is very deceiving when points are still printed on packages I bought yesterday Nov 16,2008!!!! ERGGGGGGGG REALLY ANNOYS ME ABOUT BIG COMPANIES!!!!!!
We recently purchased Kool-Aid with points on them. Sad that they do not still honor there programs. When Kool-Aid cost nearly twice as much as the others, I’ve been waiting for a reason to change, now I have found it. Sad to see that like most it is the almighty dollar that runs the show.
It’s sad indeed that the redemption program for Kool-Aid points is no longer available. I have been saving these points for 25 years. When my children were younger they could’nt wait to redeem them. I continued to save the points through nieces and nephews and suddenly came across a bagful. I’ve accumulated over 4,000 points. Now what do I do? Well, I’m going to hold on to them in hopes that the program will return, hopefully for my grandchildren.
I too have been saving those points for over 20 years and have redeemed some. I would really love to see the program again so I can redeem them for my grand kids now. I have a bag full. Come on bring it back.
I have been drinking kool aid for over 40 years and have thousands of points, finally we were going to redeem them and then we find out they are worthless. I hope they bring the program back.
It is ashamed that Kraft would do this.I have about 1800 pt. to redeem.I have been saving pts. for almost forever. I thought the point system was a way for the nation’s number-one kid’s softdrink to give back to it’s customers for patronizing it’s product. It seems no consideration was given to the many millions of patrons who helped make Kool-Aid what it is today. Shame on you.From the looks of this web-site,there are many more patrons adults,adolencants,and kids that are very disappointed. Com’on Kool-Aide. Fix the problem. Do the right thing.
OMG….. I can’t believe this! I just NOW found out. Was there any announcement about this? In the past I have purchased a few things, one was the Kool-aid man pitcher and glasses, both red and white sets. The kids love them. I have been saving for a while now to be able to get something else. Thought about checking it out and find this information..!!!! Very disappointing!!
Please let us know if there is anyway to to redeem the points.
There are a few items available from this page on the kraft website. Offer expires 6/30/10. It’s not much, but it’s something!
I just need 5 points to get a t-shirt, so if anyone has 5 points that they can’t use, please email me at latda@cox.net
Thank you,
Vicki
I have been saving my points for over 20 years and I just found out today that I can not redeem them.I understand that others feel disappointed like I am. I hope someone will come up with a solution
to save some of your customers.
I was just given 93 Kool-Aid points in hopes to find something I can find for my 4 year old twins who love Kool-Aid not knowing about the discontinuation of the points. What a bummer that my sister saved these over the years and now they are worthless.
If anyone has missed the update to the original post above: Kool-Aid is allowing consumers to redeem any accumulated points through June of 2010. Here’s the form to complete and mail in — note that shipping is charged on each item, and it’s limited to 20 per item per household:
http://brands.kraftfoods.com/koolaid/KoolSpace/KoolPoints/KoolPointsForm.pdf
Kool-aid points are cool!! and they have to take them away now!!!!!!
I have most of these items, such as the pitcher and t-shirt. There should be better items. I remember when a video game system was a prize. I was mad because the amount of my points then were no where near the amount needed to get one. Currently I have over a thousand. If those are all the items, kool-aid should give money or gift cards instead.
iam so sad that i have many points but cant spend them looking through the kool-aid caltlogs any more
remember people the joy of kool-aid its self it taste so good if you where drinking it just for the points you where doomed from the start im mad that they stoped selling water-melon cherry and ice blue rasberry lemonade here in phoenix az those where my fav so the reason for this not is to tell you people to keep likeing the flavor not the points cause thats stupid anyways to drink something just for the points how bout the taste this message was brought to you by a real kool-aid lover:)
I totally forgot about Kool Points until I was packing for a move & found over 600 of them! Now that I’ve got enough to get something Kool to remember my childhood, the whole program is ending on a bad note. You used to be able to get all kinds of great stuff, now there’s only 4 basic items available which is just plain sad:-{
I am just floored by this. I have saved points for the last 15+years and have over 7000 points. OMG what to do now? not fair, not fair, not fair. Bring it back I say!!!!!!
Im sad to hear kool-Aid wont be doing points rewards. I remember when I was a kid my mom use to turn them in and get a pitcher and mugs. Now that I have a family i looked it up to see how to do it and found this sight, Im really sad that i missed out, I wish they would keep doing it, I know alot of ppl who would love some of their old products even if it cost including me to capture some of my childhood memories……
My Mom passed away on April 14, 2010. I just found a box of kool aid points she had been saving for my son, her youngest grandchild. I wanted to complete this for her so I went on line and just found out that it ended on June 30, 2010. I was so sad. I wish that I had found the box sooner.
THATS MESS UP FOR KIDS
KOOL-AID IS NOT COOL ANY MORE, ITS JUST OTHER SALES MARKING DRINK
YOU JUST TOOK AWAY FROM THE KIDS. KOOL-AID IS NOT KOOL ANY MORE ITS JUST A DRINK ALONG WITH THE OTHERS DRINKS.
SO NOW WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE POINTS REWARDS ? THAT TOOK SO LONG TO SAVE.
OR DO YOU CARE? I GUST NOT OR KOOL-AID WOULD HAVE NOT TAKEN OUR POINTS REWARDS AWAY.
I agree with the other people. I have over 900 points saved up and I would really like to do something with them not just throw them away. I have gotten other products from the points and they were very good. So koolaid lets keep the point rewards going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well thats not fair I”ve been saving for so long with my four kids that they all were so excited about get the items that had the most points over 6,000 of them and so sad when we could’nt now what can we do with all the points that i still have?
i have saved 1800 points and caint use them. i think u should let us redeem them still thats what made kool aid so popular when i was a kid! now not so much i rarely buy it anymore, i feel they have left us hanging. not cool!
My kids and I have been saving the Kool aid points for years. Now to our suprise, when we log on to check out redemption for awards, there is NO LONGER a program. The joy of saving and clipping the koolaid points over the years seem to be have done in vain
It would be nice if there was some type of way to use these points instead of just discarding them as the company has done with the program. Keeping fingers crossed!
we have been saving kool-aid points for years and now we have away to contact you to find out there no good i was thinking beach towels or the pitcher please value our points.
Its bullcrap i have so many and i cant even turn them in to get my lil one something. I had no idea they discontinued this.
OMG! I am soooo extremely bummed!
I have thousands of points and have been saving for 15 years to get shirts for me and my kiddo. Isn’t there anything we can do?
God save the kool-aid points
I been saving kool-aid since my kids were young. Now they are thirty-four anf twenty-five. Now has children of their own. I has a box full of point, what can you do about it now. e-mail me back and let me no.

I think this is so stupid I just got all my points out and counted them I have well over 1,000 points and now they dont do that anymore. What was it hurting? Nothing if anything it was helping there business out!
My Grammie and I have been saving the points for years now and they are no longer redemmable…..I find this stupid…..You shouldn’t just discontinue something when it is working perfectly fine. now all these years of saving just went to waste!!!!!!
Please let me know if I would still be able to receive a catalog so I could redeem my kool-aid points. I did not know the program was going to end. What could I do with the points I have? Thank You,
This is a message I sent to Kraft wanted to share with you all
Hello,
I have the some of the same feelings as many of these people. So why did you get rid of the Kool-Aid points and disappoint so many people??? My husband worked with a company that did work for Kraft and after hearing how they treat their customer and the people who do work for them I am not one bit surprised this is how you treat your customers. Sure brings a VERY BAD REPUTATION TO KRAFT. Maybe you should rethink your decision on getting rid of the Kool-Aid point program. I too had saved the points for my kids when we did send in the points all that happened was our points were returned and you said sorry we no longer have that item. Not even a catalog to get something else. This was years before you discontinued the program.
Thank you for your time

My kids have been saving their Kool-Aid points for a long time in hopes that something worth sending off for like the super balls, would become available, and now that we have saved over 200 points, and try to go onto the website,, we find this out!!! My five year old actually started to cry!! SOOOOOO sad–Tell the Kool-Aid Man that he is no longer cheered at when we see one of his commercials. They have even lost interest in Kool-Aid itself. My son actually picked water over Kool-aid yesterday!! Imagine my surprise. I have been drinking Kool-Aid ever since I can remember. Maybe I’ll keep the points for a while in hopes that points will be available again, or at least until we can get a catalog to redeem our points, if possible. Thanks–disappointed 4

This really is disappointing. Although, I somehow feel free to buy whatever drinks I want for my kids. In the back of my mind I would always think, I should just get koolaid so the kids can collect the points. 300 points later, nothing. Why did I waste all these years? We will be drinking homemade lemonade and fruit juices more often and trying different kinds of mixes. Thank you, Kraft, for liberating me of the desire to buy koolaid!

Why don’t you send your feeling to Kraft. I’m sure they probably won’t reintroduce the program, but as a consumer, I think it is our responsibility to give them some feedback. Here’s a link. I hope it works.

To get a catalog from Kraft call 1-800-367-9225 and they will send you one and also you can talk to someone there and tell them how you feel about the points being canceled, My friends and family have called several times every day and every week and maybe it will help and maybe it wont but they will get the message sometime.

When I buy Kool-Aid I look for the points. Telling bad news to one child is hard to deal with; now I have got to tell THREE!

You should stop selling things with points, give people a chance to redeam what points they have, OR BRING THE REWARD POINTS BACK.

Please listen to your customers…I can’t imagine a better marketing gimick…..get people to buy your brand to collect points to obtain products with your logo…..free advertising or what!!!!
There is a lot of competition out there that may be cheaper, why should we stay loyal to a company that has abandoned us? I know that I am going to try other products as there is no incentive to stay with Kool-aid. I will hang on to my points untill you come to your senses.

You obviously have alot of dissapointed Moms and their children. So what are you good people at Kraft going to come up with? Shurley you have a Promotional Department, well maybe not. Since your in Mexico how about some Kool-Aid flavored Chicklets for all the LOYAL Kool-Aid Fanatics.

I can’t believe the point system has stopped. I have been saving points since I was a kid and now I save them for my niece and nephews. They love Kool-aid and thought it would be fun for them to collect them and get great stuff, but no not know. This is very upsetting … what in the world am I supposed to do with all of my points??? Throw them away, that is a waste … is there any possible way to redeem them??? Like is there still away I can get a catologe and redeem what I have????

I have 141 points sitting here in a plastic baggy. Come on, Kool Aid! Bring back the redemption for your dedicated fans! I have a koolaid beach towel from 15 years or so ago, and my 18 year old son LOVES this towel. I got a red plastic pitcher and mug set a while back and my kids played in the bath tub with this set for YEARS. I’m sure Kraft has all kinds of promotional stuff in their proverbial closet… please let us use these points toward that? Kool Aid Man rocks!

I just found out now, this is not good at all we have lots of points piled up in bags and would really like to redeem them so it would be nice if you guys would bring it back for loyal customers, we deserve some catologues at least so we can get something for what we saved for we still buy them and will for as longs as your company supplies them so bring it back!!! sniff sniff.

I think that this is rediculous because my kids and family have three large containers of points … they should have advertised that you need to cash in the points as this is being discontinued and they would not be valid after … date … What were they thinking??? It is one of the favorite drinks and frozen treats we use all year round. Someone should bring it back and phase it out properly for the customers.

I cannot believe that there will be no redemption of Kool-Aid Points!!! I have two very disappointed children! I think that anyone that currently has points should be able to redeem them and you should STOP putting them on Kool-Aid products as this is very decieving.
WITHOUT THE POINTS WE WILL NO LONGER BE DRINKING KOOL-AID, I GUESS WE WILL LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE!

I like several before me have mentioned, have been saving points for almost 20 years. Now, I have children and want to redeem point for fun and cool prizes, log onto the site only to learn it’s been discontinued. Imagine my astonishment and disappointment, I haven’t told the children they are not redeemable yet. I am an optimist, I believe the company will restore quality service to it’s loyal customers and again offer redeemable points for “kool” prizes for children. There’s mnore than enough disappointment in the country today…not the discontinuation of the kool-aid points too!

I was very disappointed also when finding out that you no longer can redeem the kool-aid points. I have been saving them for over 20 years and have a ton of them that I would like to redeem. I never even knew that they had a catalog you could order from. I have not always had access to the internet either. Then finally, one day, I was going online to find out what I could redeem them for only to see that they are no longer doing that. I am a very disappointed kool-aid customer. I would love to see you bring back the points, or at least let us redeem the ones we have!

Michael van Baalen June 8, 2008 at 1:41 am
How sad. I’ve noticed only recently that points no longer are even available on the packets. I’ve thousands saved up from the past decade, and now they’re completely unusable. Honestly, buying something to save up for little things like that is generally silly, but my family has bought Kool-Aid specifically over other, cheaper brands for the points.
Though I guess that’s how marketing works.

well i was so excited when i counted up my points then i got online and no longer can use them.
needless to say we will not be buying kool-aid anymore because of this, it was an exciting thing to save them up with my boys and get something out of it. It just doesn’t happen anymore these days and i though you were the last company that still cared about the customers and kids. Like cereal you used to get the toys in the box now you have to seve 10 box tops and send money for a toy that breaks in a few days anyways, very sad… what you should do is send coupons for kool-aid in exchange for the points people have saved in some cases since we were kids.

just like everyone else. ive been collecting koolaid points for a while. why would you get rid of them. it doesnt make any since. any idea how many consumers buy koolaid just because of the points? i dont think it will take long for them to bring it back. besides, its not like they are actually paying for these products any way. anything that they make themselves doesnt cost them much of anything. they make money off the overpriced shipping and handling charges. very disappointed in koolaid. it was the one company out there that was truly pro-children. i will no longer buy koolaid, back to fruit juice for me. they dont offer points, but they dont claim to and then later take it away, sure my kid will be ok with it as well. dont have the heart to tell him that koolaid is taking the points system away. im gonna have to go and buy something and pretend that i got it from you

Me and my kids were saving points,we have over 600. Then we noticed that WalMart sold Kool-Aid without points. I called your customer service and was told that the rewards program was to continue and to keep saving my points. So I was lied to by this Kool-Aid rep.That was a year ago, and if she would have given me the correct information my kids could have used their points.Now I have 3 very disappointed kids.

Awwwee come onnnn, bring back the program. Even though you can’t get a good deal on items anymore, it’s still fun to save and redeem the points for “fun/kool” stuff. SOMEBODY listen to us! Bring the Kool-aid program back. I still have stuff i sent away for in the 70′s. I’d like my kids to experience Kool-Aid like I once did. This is not good PR for your company. Any good marketing director would be all over this and bring back the program to keep customers and consumers happy as well as creating/bringing back to life a program that all people young and old can participate in. Your company needs to thrive once again. You’re doing more harm by not working this out fast enough. I’m looking forward to seeing someone STEP UP and get the program rolling again!!

I like many others have been saving points for approx. 20yrs. Over the past 5 years I have been going online and looking for something decent to use these points for. Unfortunately lately nothing really appealed to my kids. So we continued to save in the hopes that they would bring up something that wasn’t so cheesy. Now we find out that they haved cancelled the program. Given the fact that they continue to post points on their products this smacks of fraud.

Angela June 20, 2008 at 6:46 am
I agree it’s sad, and I too would have liked to redeem my points for prizes, but in the long run it would be better (fiscally) for Kraft to just offer purchasing high quality Kool-Aid products (such as pitcher/glass sets, beach towels etc…) for profit on their website. The number of devoted fans on this website alone says to me that Kraft could in fact turn a negative into a positive experience. I think, if Kraft were to pursue a for-profit venture with the Kool-Aid Man, they should offer all the loyal point collectors a discount so they don’t feel ripped off and cheated. And finally, I agree they need to step up to the plate and change the packaging — it’s really cruel to continue a hoax such as this!

this is just one more sad state of affairs in america today. as i scrolled down and saw all the posts i was surprised at how many ameircans still have some family values. big companies do not care about loyalty because if you don’t drink koolaid you will surely be buying one of their other products. i used to believe that the little guy counted but these are not those days anymore. i have been collecting kool aid points also since my 23 year old son was 3. just this morning i noticed one of the packets did not have points, so i came to the computer and found out this dissappointing news. kraft foods is not interested in being rewarding to its loyal buyers, there is another right around the corner. all they are interested in is bucks. money and profit is the way of this sad world. kraft has so many products and subcompanies i would not be surprised to see kool aid disappear altogether. they just do not care about people like us.

You would do well to remember this while you launch your program to cheat millions of children and adults by discontinuing Kool-Aid points, and making merchandise unobtainable.

Shame on the Kraft Company. Its would have been nice for consumers to get notice when offers are going to be discontinued. Our family has around 5000 pts. Now they are worthless pcs of paper.
But Kraft will suffer in the long run. Our family will not purchase any more products by this Company. They show little loyality to their customer base. They take US and our MONEY for granted.
Some ppl would say Not to make a big deal out of points!! But the gifts were for our children. They enjoyed drinking the kool-aid, and getting a gift or two in return.
Kraft will end up going the way of The Big Three Car Makers and K-Mart. When you forget who pays your salaries….

I guess I will not be loyal either and start buying the store brand as that is what is chaepest.

add me to the list of disappointed customers who have been saving points …… with all the advertising for buying your products no word about this program ending anywhere…..at least let us redeem the points for coupons towards the purchase of kool aid or other products available.

Wow!!!! I have been saving points since I had my kids. I cant believe there r no rewards. I thought it would be something cool for my kids 2 enjoy and gain from! Something they could do themselves when they were older & wanted 2. well that day has finally come & there is nothing! How disappointing & sad. I am disgusted by the fact that I am still to this day purchasing their products w/ the rewards & nothing 2 do w/ them. If a program does not exsist, the points should not either. I will just save my family money a purchase another brand! What is happening 2 us? Is there anyway 2 redeam what I have already saved?

I think everybody should switch to flavor aid drink to show Kool aid how upset we are about the discontinuing of the kool aid points, and Flavor Aid is cheaper.

I agree this is sad, i was cleaning some kitchen stuff out and found the super sized bag of over 1k kool aid points easily and decided to check and see what they had to offer, and to my surprise..NOTHING..i find only this site.
i recall a time when the grocery store had the rip of catalogues next to the stand and you could get tons of things, even a GAME BOY if you had enough points!
i guess they just decided they can make mmore profit this way.
im older now so i rarely drink kool aid anyways but i fear when i have kids they wont have the same fun times as i did.
RIP kool aid

You know it is sort of sad that the kool-aid points ended,but I rarely see the Kool-aid guy on television anymore anyway doing his thing, I was just cleaning my pantry and found over 500 points and now I have nothing to do with them but discard them, such a shame. I even found the order form with a lot of neat stuff on it, apparently when I got this order form I didn’t have enough points to order the stuff I wanted at the time so when I did get enough points to order the things I wanted I guess I must have misplaced the order form, so Now I am stuck with a bunch of points and nothing to do with them.. Anyway I grew up on Kool-aid never liked flavor aid I wish the kool-aid man well because without the children he will do nothing. Good luck.

I come to redeem pionts I have been saving and they no longer do it. I am very disappointed in Kool-aid. There should be some way to take legal action against them since they still advertise the pionts on there products. That is false information they are putting out there for people if you can no longer use them. They need to take the points off their products or bring back the ability to redeem points since there is such an out cry for them. There are so many people that are upset with kool-aid for this including myself. I do believe there is action(s) that can be taken against kool-aid for doing this.

My grandson is 5 years old. He saw me clipping Kool-Aid points when he was 2 1/2, ever since then we have been saving them together and would look for something cool to celebrate his starting school. We sat down together this past weekend and found out the program no longer existed! You should have seen his face! How could a company so big, not be able to get support and find items that were worth wild for point collectors to get cool stuff. I was lucky enough years ago to get in on the VideoNow deal with disc’s, that was totally awesome! I truly do hope that this program comes back, but for now, I have to deal with one sad little boy and he is mad at Kool-aid for doing this. He won’t even drink it any more. These kids are our future and you can’t afford to lose business! Hope they reconsider!

That’s too bad they went away. I also cleaned out a drawer and thought I would see what I could get for my grandchildren. I guess it is a BIG NOTHING at this point. Would like to see the program come back, but I guess like they say ” All good things come to an end ” maybe better things could make a new start. How about it Kraft?

i have been collecting kool-aid points throughout my life and have sent away for products in the past and have collected again 4 the past 8 years foe my children that were not yet even thought of and now i have a 6 year old boy and a 4 year old girl i did call the 1 800 number provided on the top of the page i also called the head office in glenview il.usa and they simply stated that there is nothing that i can do to have this reinstated i have argued on behalf or all of the disappointed families and crying children and the way i see it is that the only way to fight this is to boycot all kraft foods the address i was provided was (KRAFT FOODS GLOBAL,INC Kraft Court Glenview,il. US 60025)i feel that we need to do something as the consumer to have this reinstated for our children this is like telling a kid they can have a toy and then telling them you lied do you want kraft to lie to your kids i know i don’t i am fighting this and i wont stop until this is corrected.you can contact me @ LORIANNE27@HOTMAIL.COM TO FURTHER THIS FIGHT

I just wanted to give consumers some hope by using this example of what happened to Block Buster the video rental store. They were sued to charging late fees!!! Now late fees are removed!You can be 7 days late returning and owe NOTHING!!! Maybe Kraft Foods will take heed to this because there is someone out there that their points being redeemable means more about (principal of the fact) than anything else including money that it takes to get you to do the right thing for your loyal consumers. This is not the right way to end a program and is very deceiving when points are still printed on packages I bought yesterday Nov 16,2008!!!! ERGGGGGGGG REALLY ANNOYS ME ABOUT BIG COMPANIES!!!!!!

We recently purchased Kool-Aid with points on them. Sad that they do not still honor there programs. When Kool-Aid cost nearly twice as much as the others, I’ve been waiting for a reason to change, now I have found it. Sad to see that like most it is the almighty dollar that runs the show.

It’s sad indeed that the redemption program for Kool-Aid points is no longer available. I have been saving these points for 25 years. When my children were younger they could’nt wait to redeem them. I continued to save the points through nieces and nephews and suddenly came across a bagful. I’ve accumulated over 4,000 points. Now what do I do? Well, I’m going to hold on to them in hopes that the program will return, hopefully for my grandchildren.

It is ashamed that Kraft would do this.I have about 1800 pt. to redeem.I have been saving pts. for almost forever. I thought the point system was a way for the nation’s number-one kid’s softdrink to give back to it’s customers for patronizing it’s product. It seems no consideration was given to the many millions of patrons who helped make Kool-Aid what it is today. Shame on you.From the looks of this web-site,there are many more patrons adults,adolencants,and kids that are very disappointed. Com’on Kool-Aide. Fix the problem. Do the right thing.

I have most of these items, such as the pitcher and t-shirt. There should be better items. I remember when a video game system was a prize. I was mad because the amount of my points then were no where near the amount needed to get one. Currently I have over a thousand. If those are all the items, kool-aid should give money or gift cards instead.

Great! i have 1557 and now i cant use them ! ive been saving since i was 3 and now im 12
I have been saving for years and years and I just found out they discontinued the points. In the past, I have saved so many points that I have redeemed them for quite a bit of items, but I guess no more. For my own personal knowledge, I have 7421 points I will be throwing away (of which 236 are the Mega Mountain Twists double points). I can not believe that an American icon like Kool-Aid would do something like this to their loyal customers. I have bought my last kool-aid product. There will be no more.
HELLO MY NAME IS CATHY CESTARO AND I HAD MY MOM SIT AND CUT OUT TONS OF POINTS FOR KOOL AIDE POINTS…NOW TO HEAR THAT I CANT EVEN USE THEM ANY MORE…THIS IS VERY DIAPOINTING NEWS…CAN YOU ANSWER ME ONE QUESTION??? WHY ARE THE POINTS STILL LOCATED ON SOME OF THE PACKETS WE PURCHASE???? DOSENT MAKE ANY SENCE TO ME OR ANY OTHER CONSUMER OUT THERE….I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO USE MY POINTS, WILL THIS PROGRAM EVER BE REINSTATED???? PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU FOR READING MY GRIPE
are you going to reinstate kool aid points before i throw them out?
I have saved Kool-Aid points since childhood. I remember my sister and I ordering items from Kool-Aid that we would otherwise not have had. With ten and sometimes 12 people to feed (all my brothers, sisters, mom and dad) there wasn’t enough money for for anything extra. We did not get birthday presents and seldom got a birthday cake. There were no birthday parties for anyone. Christmas presents usually came from the local Lyons Club. Kool-Aid points were a way my sister and I could get toys. We each had Skip and Hops which created many great childhood memories. We also ordered other items from Kool-Aid but this was our favorite. I now have over 1000 points and would love to redeem them for Kool-Aid items. PLEASE consider reinstating this program. I think it teaches kids (and adult) to save (weather it be money or points) for an item. Other major companies use the rewards system for customers to receive rewards for points earned for example: airlines, credit card companies, and even hotel and motels, so why not an old favorite—–Kool-Aid.
I can’t believe they stopped, I have like 2000 saved up and now it all goes to waste?!?!
will you please come back, it took a long time to collect the codes, now that I’m ready to redeem my gifts you shut down. (very sad). PLEASE COME BACK !!!
WOW!!! I cant believe what Im reading. I HAVE BEEN saving since elementary school. I am in my thirties now. Am sure I have over 2200 pts. What I’m i suppose to do with these things? PLEASE dont take this away. I wish their was a program you can use the pts for education like the box tops.
I can’t believe no more points. I saved when I was growing up and so did my 2 kids. My baby is 20 now and in the Air Force and still drinks Kool-Aid as do I. I ran across our stock pile of points that we have been saving. So sad this is happening and just can’t seem to make myself throw the out. Can’t even tell you how many we have collected there is so many. SO SAD!!!!!!!!
I too along with all these other posts have saved for years. Bring back a points catalog so we YOUR FAITHFUL CUSTOMERS can redeem our points. Better yet lets all start calling and ask for the points redeemtion back!
Are you kidding me?! My heart just broke a little inside, My pop and I used to collect the points as I was growing up and we wouldn’t buy any kool aid that had no points on them, I was so excited when the tubs of powder came out and got multiple points for one item! Now I am in the Army and my father has fallen ill and I have so many points and I wanted to get something with them to show my father that our hard work will pay off and now that is just crushed, I cant believe this crap. Thank god I switched to crystal light!
i have been saving points scince i was a kid its not fair i have been trying to save up for a half decent prize and have a couple thousand points . thanks for the warning ,this is very un fair.i have spent thousands on your products to get these now there usless
I am another mother who has been saving points for years. Please tell me there is some way to cash in on all of my points!!!
I have save 362 kool-aid points. Is so sad to find out there are no more. Hope you can set a program that we can use those pts for education. Help out our schools.
So so not Kool! I my grandma has been saving koolaid points for my siblings and myself for over 26 years and now that she gave them to me, I cant even spend them
I love Koolaid. I was wondering why some of the newer envelopes didn’t have any codes, and this is the first time I had a chance to check it out. I too have saved points ever since they started. My daughter is 20 in a few days and will be disappointed to find out that she can no longer get gifts. One easter I bought about 100 packets and put them on the floor in a flower shape for her to wake up to easter morning. I am devastated. I can’t throw them out!
I too have saved kool aid points over years and still have them. never new what happen until now is some way to redeem now?
Well, it is nice to know I am NOT the only one who has been saving these Kool-Aid points forever and now has learned they are NOT valid anymore…SO SAD, they were a great way to encourage my children to count, cut neatly, and save for a special item….would love for them to return!!!
We have been collecting…to get a t-shirt. Now this happens.Very disappointed at this company..This is so sad. We will not be buying Kool-Aid anymore or Kraft products.
I too had been saving points since my kids were little. They are 22 and 20 now. So I take it there is nothing that can be done about the kool-aid points.
I have about 500 points. Thought they were lost after our move 5yrs. ago I just found them
and now I have 2 grandchildren who I told if we could only find them. They went wild so I go to the site and find thier no good. Now they think I’m nuts that there was no program like I said. Thanks alot I’ll never buy this brand again.
CLAUDIA
I also was disappointed to read about the change in Kool-Aid. As a parent I also raised my children on it they enjoy making the Kool-aide and drinking it. The best rewarded was when they send in for the catalog. The rewarded can in when they save the point to send in for Kool-Aid picture and cups. The best one of the item was the cool cups that would come in different colors. It would freeze the drinks, and the kids would get a kick out of it calling it a homemade slush. Now my grandchildren approached me and requested about the cool cups.
I to am very upset!! I have been saving Kool-Aid Points since before and after my son was born. I have over 25 years of points saved up and now that I think that I can get something really nice with the Kool-Aid Man on it, I find that the points no longer are being taken. I can’t understand why this is, can someone from the Kool-Aid Company please respond to my e-mail!
Please bring the points back a lot of folks have lost time and a generation of savings here…….
