Well, as they promised last year, you’ll no longer find those little Kool-Aid Kool Points on their packages anymore: Kraft Foods confirmed with me this morning that they have discontinued their Kool-Aid Points program. You can still cash in your points while supplies last. The prizes are limited and are available on a first come, first served basis.
Update, 5/09: 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.
This news makes me sad. I collected points as a kid and cashed them in for, among other things, a really neat Kool-Aid Stand. My dad used it to teach me about supply and demand, “cost of goods sold,” and marketing (I earned lots of dimes that summer)…which sparked an interest in economics that led me to pursue a degree in it and eventually a master’s in business administration. So in a way, I am who I am because of Kool-Aid Points! Oh, yeahhhh!

While I never collected kool-aid points I very much enjoyed your childhood memory. Boy, I can relate, lol! Maybe if more parents spent more time teaching their kids the connection between hard work and rewards this country would be in better shape. Thank you for sharing – I really enjoy your reviews and tidbits.
I too have 1000′s of points!!! Too bad!! Hey….. Just thinking. What if we all put our points together and ask them if they will still take them and ask if they can donate the gifts to a children’s hospital?? That would give them some good advertising, and we all would feel a whole lot better about our points!!! Just thinking!!!
I too have a bunch, and love your idea. Let do it
Hi Chelsey, Thanks for your email. Okay then Let’s do it!! How should we start this going?
when Kraft gets back to you let me know where these points can be sent thx sincerely Jay
I have points too and have been following this thread. Is this where I reply with the amount I have?
Hi Chelsey. Well I have just got off the phone with Kraft Foods about the points and they are going to put the idea of them taking all the points we can put together (as a one time deal) and then donate the gifts to a Children’s Hospital. They told me that they will put it to there Public Relations team and will get back to me!!! So we should “all” hold on to your points. When they get back to me, I will post on this wall!!!
My mother just found a bag full of points. We have 1868 points. If Kraft decides to do something with these points to help some children I will send these in.
Did you hear anything back regarding the Kool-aid points? I have a shoe box full of points.
Thanks,
Dawn
I have a lot of Kool-Aid points as well, not sure exactly how many though. I would love to donate them to a Children’s Hospital if Kraft Foods will go ahead with ya’lls idea.
Martin-
I don’t have the 1000′s that some people have but the ones I have I’d like to put to good use. Please let us know if Kraft has decided to do the right thing, and donate to a good cause.
Hi! I have 595 points that just discovered in my pantry that I would love to donate towards things to give to a children’s hospital. I was disappointed to find out that this points system had ended years ago but I’m glad someone took the initative to find something good to do with them. What is your address where I can send these? My e-mail is oliviajhumphreys@gmail.com.
Hi! I am excited that Kraft will do something with our collective points!! You say to send to your email address in another thread, however there is no “reply” attached to that comment and you have overlooked the posting of the email address. There are many of us who would like to respond and donate points but don’t have your email address and , can’t find it anywhere in this thread.
Please send me/post your email address so we can connect with you for the giving of Kool-aid points.
Thanks, Lisa in Seattle

Take care and God Bless!

Thank You.

Are you still taking points, I just found a bag in the pantry. If so, please email info as to where to send them.
Just found this information, is it too late to add my points to the group effort? Please let me know. Thanks and great idea!
Hi Martin,
Your efforts for putting this Kool Aid point thing together is Great! I also came upon a container full of points and I was wondering if you are still collecting them or if it is too late.
Thanks
I have points to add too!!!
I have a lot of points and would like to be in on the donation. I live in GA and would like to see the Children Hospital here receive some of what the company is willing to donate.
I love the idea!! We still have points as well and would love to donate them. Please let us know if they decided to take that idea. It would be a great christmas present for some kids at the Children’s Hospital.
Someone gave my son a baggie full of them. Has anyone heard if they will accept them to donate. I’ll mail in his too.
Hi! My children had a points collection I just found in a cupboard:)
I would gladly send it along for a Children’s Hospital. Will Kool-Aid pick the Hospital? I have been to Georgia & I could support the need to donate there.
Let me know, Lisa
im up gor that, how about it Koolaide
I have points to donate also. Are you still trying to collect them?
Hello to everyone….just found 1000s of kool-aid points…would love to donate??

Hi Pearl,
Did you get any response? I have many points also and am just seeing this website. I see you are one of the latest posts so thought I would start with you/your efforts.
I also have a KOOLAID phone number I might try: 1 800 367-9225 and see what they say.
Thanks in advance for any info. you might have.
Sheri
Just found a bag of points…please tell me they are still collecting. Let me know where to send them…would love the children’s hospital to benefit from the time and effort put into the collecting these over the years.
If anyone is still collecting them.. I found a stash of them that were lost in packing and then in storage… Hate to just throw them out, after all these years, now, if somebody is collecting them.. Just let me know where to send them..

We’ve been collecting points for years and bought quite a few items, latest was a kool-aid towel and t-shirt for each of us.
This is an American tradition and it’s a shame to see it ending.
Zippo still repairs lighters for no charge, Victorinox will fix your Swiss Army knife for free, Mag Industries will repair your MagLite at no charge, and the Coca-Cola company kept Coke Classic in response to customer’s wishes. The Kool-Aid company is no less an American icon, yet they are letting us down this way.
When Coca-Cola refused to deny licensing to its bottlers in Central America who are murdering labor activists, we stopped patronising them, even though Coke is our favorite cola.
I think that unless Kool-Aid shares their reasons for this action with us, we’re going to boycott them, too.
If it’s because of lack of participation, maybe better items would have helped. We always wanted to see GLASS Kool-Aid pitchers and tumblers for one thing.
ditto, it is like an icon, the care of them to allow us to patronize their product and earn points to get silly stuff we adored, and now our kids don’t look to kool-aide as they have no reason, afterall flavor side is just as tasty on most flavors i think, except maybe purple, a little weak, but hey it is like no in God we trust on the money we make now, what the hey if we cannot stand by our people kraft, why buy your product? to be let down by the dyes you use possibly, well it makes a person think when you just take the only things we get by buying your product, now what? are u just one of the generic kind of drinks? i say bring back the icon, and stand up for our family, are we not a family KRAFT, it felt like we were, now, it makes me remember the saying, the ones who hurt you worst, are the ones closest to you, shame on you i know you have enough money, what the tax deducton wasn’t worth the production of small things, some of these people counted on kool_aide they knew to let them save to get a few nice things, unbought with money, so i say, America, if kraft doesn’t take these, i am sorely wrong on my thoughts of KRAFT, shame on you!
I too have several kool-aid points upsets me too I have got 3 sets of pitchers and cups with mine in the past
It’s really sad to know we can no longer save points. I have over 2000 points,I was hoping they would bring back the really good prizes they had in the 90′s. Really Sad.
I am having problems trying to get-into kool-aid.com. Because I have houndereds of kool-aid points and I can’t find out where I can use my points for. please e-mail me back at; Rhinosr@comcast.net .
I’m 22 years old now and ever sence i was a little girl I’ve always colected kool-aid points with my mom. It’s sad that their discontinuing the points. Now that i’m a mom I was hoping to do it with my girls. I’ve saved up all my points and now have no where to spend them.
Hasbro did the exact same thing with My Little Pony points. One day the point system is there for everyone to enjoy and the next it is gone. Canada used to share in the Kool-aid point system and I remember some of the neighbor hood kids would go around checking other peoples recycling for points they had thrown away. I wish Kool-aid had better things to offer for those who are “big kids” at heart.
My family has been saving points forever! I have all these points saved up in hopes to redeem them for something more than a “spider ring” and was further shocked that I had to use a search window to find anything out about the points program! This is such a shame. It was a family tradition that was still simple and I thought would last and last. I am highly dissapointed.
family tradition. ha. i collected with my mother as a child. had so much koolaid merchandise it was unbelieveable.. i collected with my children( mind you i have 13) and would like to have been able to ask my grandchildren what should we get with the 1000′s of points that we have in a giant bag now.
guess that wont happen. such a shame to take one of our traditions away from us all
I been saving points for years. I would be lieing if I said I have less than 1000 points. last week my son asked me about cashing them in. I guess not. So sad to see them go. Hopefully its not too late for me to cash in.
I can’t believe they have done away with kool aid points, I have been saving them for years, hopefully i can redeem them for something for my sons who also enjoyed saving them.
does anyone know where to go to find what you can get with the kool-air points, I can’t find where to go
I have called the number provided in the blog entry and requested an order form to redeem my points. The woman on the phone told me that points can still be redeemed for a while and there are still lots of prizes left. So, anyone out there who has points better call now. There’s not much time left. I only have a little over 500 points, but I have been saving them for about 3 years now. I am dissapointed that this is happening. I am lucky that I picked now to stop procrastinating and look into cashing in, since all the work I have spent saving those little peices of paper would have been for nothing! My kids aren’t going to be too thrilled when they hear its over! Oh well, atleast we still have box tops for education! I hope…maybe I should check up on that as well!
iv saved points for 4 years i have 1243 points i was really hopeing to get somthing and thanks to you i cant i bet you broken thousands of kids hearts you have no heart you r mean and crule i hope your happy YOU R SELFISH I HOPE HAVE A HPRRIBLE LIVE
YOU R CRULE
When my twin were born I was drinking Kool-aid and started my twin on Kool-aid in 1975 I have been saving points for over 30 years and must have over a million points. I was disappointed to here you have stop the points. I may redeem some of my points but will keep them for memories. Thanks Kool-aid my kids liked cutting and saving them.
I would like to redeem my Kool Aid points. As a kid we also colected them and sent them in for neat stuff, some of which I still have. I will call the 800 number tomorrow and ask for a catalog. I hope I still redeem them.
When my brother and I were youger we saved points and got some of the coolest things. I too was hoping to be able to get my children some of these items. It’s too bad these kind of things aren’t forever.
OK I UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN NO LONGER REDEEM KOOL-AID POINTS, BUT IF THIS PROGRAM IS DISCONTINUED THEN WHY IS IT WHEN I GO TO THE STORES NOW I CAN STILL GET KOOL-AID WITH POINTS ON IT? ARE THOSE KOOL-AIDS IM BUYING NOW OLD AND SHOULDNT BE ON THE SHELF AT THE STORES. I HAD JUST BOUGHT KOOL-AID POPS 2 DAYS AGO A 24 PACK. THERE WAS A POINTS CODE ON THE BOX WORTH 5 POINTS. NOW IM SCARED TO EAT THESE POPCYCLES ARE THEY OLD OR NOT. IF THESE POINTS ARE DONE THEN THEY SHOULD STOP PUTTING THEM ON KOOL-AID STUFF.
I am sad to hear you are no longer having points on your merchandise to save and redeem! I,like others have found them in a drawer and wanted to redeem them. My sons are grown now and one just gave me a new grand daughter this year. I wanted to get her the pitcher and mugs.
I’ve sent an email to kraft via kraft.com to show my dissatisfaction. I’m sure that if enough people do the same they may realize their error and reinstate it. Well at least thats what I hope.
this sucks…after my kids have faithfully saved points year after year….kool aid is no better than all the other big compaanies who only care about themselves
I think this is poor marketing by kraft….
I like many of you have saved points for years and years. I am not happy with this bit of news. Here is the contact area for Kraft foods to sound-off your support in re-instatinig the points program, hopefully everyone will voice their opinion.
http://www.kraftfoods.com/innovatewithkraft/contactus.aspx
I was so sad today when we checked the mail to have my pkg of points returned to me, no forwarding address for Kool-Aid. My daughter was upset, we two have spend alot of time counting and cutting the points and stashing the away for the big day. Which came 7 wks ago when I first sent the pkg, much to my dismay I only now have three days to do something about it. It will take a few weeks for a catalog to get to me so that something can be ordered. I sent 2991 points. Waiting for the day my children would be tall enough to get on all the rides @ Six Flags, I have never had enough to money to take my children anywhere like that. I waited and waited for the day just like my children. What a let down!! All most feel a bit betrayed here, this was something from my childhood that I passed on to my children, I’m hate to leave them with this thought. Something as wholesome as Kool-Aid is gone. Since I’ve seen at the kraft website that pionts can still be redeemed, I hope they will for some things related to Kool-Aid. I always wanted the pitcher, spoon and cups. And I’ve been told several times I make the best Kool-Aid ever, just the right amount of sugar, and the way I mix the flavors it’s scrumptious. Please lets find a way not to forget my youth or to disapoint my children. Thanks for your time
Tears…,tears…,tears… Today my mom went to go check the mail hoping that our kool-aid prizes had came in. Yet, instead of are prizes we got what we have sent to get are prizes our kool-aid points and the money order that we put in there. She was thinking to not show me or tell me that they sent back are points. And we did not get any prizes. But she knew that I was going to ask about them and she did not want to lie to me so she told me when I asked about them. When she told me that they sent the points back that we have been saving forever and hopeing when we send in all of those points that we would get six flages tickets I was very disapointed I went to my room and just sat there and thought to myself for a long while, thinking man if we would have got are prizes today we would be going to six flages but no they had to send are points that we have been saving for ever right back to us Man!! I’m MAD.I know that we have to find the new address but, I am afraid that when we send them I am going to be disapointed again but when we get the new address, if we do I am hoping I will not be disapointed, again.
well thanks for reading this comment and I hope I get what I want and that is the six flags tickets for me and my brothers and mom and dad, or whatever we can get Thanks:)
That’s sort of funny. I’m pretty young (compared to others on this fourm), and bought a kool aid packet today, one that had a kool aid point on it. I thought this would be fun for my little sister and I to do, so I looked into it and found this fourm. Sort of depressing…
I finally got the internet and went on BeCool.ca to cash in my points only to find this site. I’m very upset that after saving all these points in hopes of getting cool stuff I can’t get anything. NOT COOL AT ALL!!!!
I’ve just finished counting all of our points this morning. I even got mad at my husband for throwing away some of my stacks of points. I keep them in bundles of 500 points each, and only have 3000 points left. I can’t believe that all of the collecting that me and both of my daughters did for all these years is just a waste. My daughters are so hurt that they vow never to drink Kool-Aid again. And there she goes. Josie just poured the Kool-Aid down the drain.
My name is Josie and I’m not going to drink Kool-Aide no more. The Kool-Aid man is just a big dumb, fat, ugly man.
My name is Annie and I’m mad too. That big fat ugly Kool-Aide man can keep all his stupid Kool-Aide.
Well, I guess my daughters said it all. We are no longer going to buy Kool-Aid. They now want to try the Disney brand. It is cheaper in price, but I’ve never purchased it before. I guess we’ll let you all know on its taste.
I just called Kraft and they are going to mail me a catalog so I can redeem points that I too had collected for years. She said there are just a few items still available like the kool aid packet holder, beech towel, smile t-shirt and pitcher.
Wow! Just what I wanted… a packet holder to clutter up my cabinets! It’s very ironic! I should have seen this coming! I am 33 years old. As a child I saved kool-aid points. My family and I were saving them for just the right thing. When I had my first child my mother gave to me the remaining points, around 2000, to enjoy with my child. The year that kool-aid discontinued their six flag’s ticket promotion (10 years?) was the year I had finally saved enough points and my daughters were old enough to enjoy the trip. After seeing the promotion had been discontinued, I wrote to Kraft asking when they expected to add other more extensive prizes to the catalog. I was assured it would be soon; keep looking and saving! Here we are 10 years (?) later… I look a couple of times a year, we still save (I have 7000+ points), what did they add? Nothing. Thanks Kool-aid man! I believe this teaches all of us something. The loyalty felt by consumers is definitely not returned by the brands we cherish! So rather than teaching my kids (10 & 13) about kool-aid stands and customer satisfaction, Kraft has taught them about how to make a buck by short changing kids (& their parents). Lesson taken and will be rewarded in kind – hello Lipton Iced Tea, Gatorade, & Tropicana!
well i am shocked –outraged even… i called them – ordered the catalog, and left the comment that i am very disappointed in kraft that they would cancel an institution like that — i told them i have been collecting kool-aid points since *i* was a kid… shameful… they stated it was due to consumer interest decrease – but the other poster is right — i wanted glass jugs… and a few more prize options.. plus takes a while to save up points if you dont have kids
(husband can only drink so much kool-aid)… argh i have packs with point on them – gonna have to drink a lot of kool-aid..not buying it any more though…
Me too! Deeply saddened by this! I have been saving kool-aid points for a long time and was planning on redeeming them with my grandchildren when they come to visit in a couple of weeks. Counting, cutting, choosing there items, What fun! No more. Bummer.
Wow–no more Kool Aid for me. I have been saving points for about 20 years. It was something to look forward to–collecting and saving for the next prize.
I, too, have been saving for years… i finally decided yesterday to get online and see what i can order. I was going to surprise my 7 year-old son with a package of fun stuff from kool aid. Good thing I didn’t tell him about it. I was born in 70, so I grew up drinking kool iad – it was cheap and good. That was the big thing in the summer… getting the catalog and ordering cool stuff. It is depressing. Just another ruined tradition. Thanks kool aid ! ! !
WOW, I have been saving for years as well. Every now and then I get online to see what nice things I can redeem my points for, I have not yet to get anything because the items were always not available. Today I get online to redeem the points, and I am saddened by the dincontinued points. If ya’ll stopped doing this last year, why do ya’ll still have points on the kool-aid. That is false advertisement. Thanks, Kool-aid.
My boyfreind and I have bein collecting these kool-aid points since we have bein together. Weve bein together for eight and a half years. Neither of us have ever put so much dedication in saving anything like we have these points. We boh smoke marlboro’s but still do not collect marlboro miles. I beleive anyone that puts so much support into a company should not be just blown off as if they didnt contribute or mean anything threw the years.
I don’t even know how many points we have. My brother and I have been collecting points for as long as I can remember. I just got the okay from him last week to get the points collected at our mom’s house to get my boys a kool-aid pitcher. I thought for sure that I might just have enough now to get one. They would go with the kool-aid cups that my brother and I had as kids. . .
As a side note, do people read before they post. There are quite a few postings of people who would like to know how to redeem points. At the top it tells you how and that you might not be able too. So read people, read.
I also have been saving points for years, a couple years ago they rumored that the end was near so we traded our points in for 10 beach towels. While cleaning out a room today, I found yet another evelope of 1,000 points. It saddens me that I will no longer be able to send for those cool kool-aid things for any grandchildren. I remember back in the early 60′s sending for a four colored color pencil with my points. I do beleive that may have been the begining of the points!
I have thousands of points and was waiting for something good to come out but it never did. Probably will eventually come back out with points and cool prizes and say you cant use the old points. Im dissapointed in you Kraft. Maybe you should read the comments on here and see its probably not a good idea to stop this and maybe you should put some better prizes to win. And just maybe your taking the fun out of things and maybe people will start buying the generic brands since your getting nothing now but the koolaid name….
I grew up collecting KoolAid points and GreenStamps. Thanks Kraft; for letting another tradition fade out. I guess it’s true…Business is just Business…
I guess I was ten the first time I sent off for a free KoolAid pitcher. When it arrived in the mail, I thought I was all grown up. I started my first savings account after that. The experience with the points made it all click in my brain.
I called the 800# above today to verify if the points needed had changed since I had last downloaded an order form, thay have not changed since last year. The lady I spoke with offered to mail me a form, so they are still accepting orders.
FYI: they have packet holders (20 pts + $1.75)
T-shirts- Lrg/in kids/adults (125 pts + $2)
Beach towel (350 pts + $4.45) and
Plastic pitcher (70 pts + $1.75).
You can order a limit of 5 of each item.
I guess to sum it all up you have made alot of children and adults disappointed.
Just this evening I found out about the points! I have been collecting them for several years, just as others have stated. My son(21 now) and I started; we keep them in a plastic bag in the kitchen drawer. We intended to trade them in for a cool prize. Only now to hear “it’s over and done with”. What could be the reason behind it? The points are why I bought the drink mix! Also, we got a kick out of counting them. Once we were saving to trade them in for a gameboy but they were all gone. Just like no more points! I agree with the post note from: Billy, 7/14/08. We’re losing so many goodthings! I just bought 20 packets of kool-aid. To bad Kraft-no more points-no more kool-aid for us! Every point collector should stop buying kool-aid drink mix – it’s no longer “KOOL”!
Why? Why, would you take something worth while away from kids? We love Kool-Aid and we enjoyed saving the points. Good home town values was taught by your points. With the world today being what it is, it’s just another disappointment to see something simple yet fun, with no harm, teaching a value taken away from children. Why can’t big companies just keep it simple. It added value to your product. Kool-Aid just isn’t as Kool anymore!
I have been collecting points ever since i was 5 and I am 20 now i have 1000S of these things all over my house and now i have saved them all up for nothing. we should be doing something to bring them back. We have all bought kool-aid for many many years and probably many to come but nothing makes me more excited to buy it than collecting the points. Both my boys were expecting something totally cool someday from kool-aid get stuff and now i have saved up all of these points for no damn reason. KOOL-AID YOU SUCK ASS FOR TAKING THE POINT SYSTEM AWAY AND I WILL NEVER BUY KOOL-AID AGAIN UNTILL YOU BRING BACK THE POINTS.
I’m from Hastings, NE… the birth place of Kool-aid, so we have a huge connection to Kool-aid. We celebrate Kool-aid days every August, so at least I am able to buy Kool-aid “kollectables” but I’m still upset about the points thing. I can buy everything they are offering at Kool-aid days, so what is the point of me sending in my thousands of points? And for them to still make us pay shipping is ridiculous. They should just send the items. I’ll still drink kool-aid, just because of my loyalty for the one good thing Nebraska invented (and rarely gets credit for). It’s just sad that my 1 year old daughter and my baby on the way won’t know what points are… I know people in high school now that never knew that pop cans used to have printed codes in the bottom of the cans so you could win stuff. You actually had to drink it to find it. I’m only 26 and this is a sad day for me
I’m going to forward the URL for this site on to the Kraft website so they see that they are breaking hearts everywhere…
Wow, what’s the world coming to???!!! Natural disasters, calamities, wars and rumors of wars, economic turmoil and now this! Come on Kraft, can’t you help stem the tide?!
My wife says we don’t have room for Kool-Aid stuff … too bad! Thanks for the article on this and the info on how to redeem points.
I am so upset by this. As I have read many of the comments, I too have saved the points for years with my daughter. With the rise of cost of everything, I now will choose flavor aid. It is not as good, but it is cheaper, and if Kool Aid is going to quit the points program with virtually no advertising, I see no reason to spend the extra few dollars on it. I see hundreds of Kool aid commercials every week, am I the only one that missed the commercials that said they are going to quit the points program? I could have disappointed my daughter months ago, and freed up the space in my cabinet for Marlboro Miles.
just saw this last night when I was looking into redeeming for my kids. I have been collected since I was a kid, I have 2021 points. I called tonight and all that they have left is the kool aid pack holder, Kids large and small t-shirts, adult large t-shirt, plastic pitcher, and the smile beach towel. So I guess I can get 4 towels, 2 t-shirts, 2 pitchers and a packet holder! lol 20 years of collected – and a little disappointed to say the least. In the 20 years I never redeemed – as a kid the prizes were great but I never had enough points for the big ones. In recent years we never redeemed in hopes that the prizes would improve – that just never happened.
I’m so disappointed in not being able to redeem all my points. I cannot believe that Kraft did away with the program. Like most of the other people I have been saving for many years in hopes of some day getting something nice, and now I will probably get nothing!!!Good going Kraft, disappoint the little kid in alot of us and what a let down to not be able to have my grandson get his Kool Aid Stand. I wanted one for my daughter but never had enough points and now I was hoping to get one for my grandson. Disappointed!! Disappointed!!Kraft can do something to keep this neat collecting tradition going. Come on it can’t be because you’re not making money. The poeple sending comments are just a FEW of the collectors. Come on Kraft don’t disappoint us. Not you, all the delicious foods you provide for us, including KOOL AID.
SO DISAPPOINTING!!! just found out
I am speechless … and if I had a long statement to say, it would start and end the same … SO DISAPPOINTING!!!
So sad, So heart breaking! I have been collecting kool aid point’s for more than 23 year’s, in the hope’s that some day, I would have enough to redeem in my point’s. I have saved over 3,500 point’s. for the purpose of being able to give each of my four children, a Kool Aid Beach Towel and the Wacky Wild Kool Aid Clock. Soon to be blessed with my forth grandchild, I started thinking about redeeming through your catalog, only to find out that 23 year’s of saving has been waisted away. I want to know why you have done this and why now must I have to tell my children, “that are saving them also” that you no longer have have a catalog to redeem our point’s. Please contact me for the hope’s that there may be any item’s left over that I could redeem my point’s for. This is very heart breaking for me and my family after 23 year’s and more than 3,500 point’s later. Thank you, Sincerely, Pamla Baker
I can’t believe it… my boys and I have been saving kool-aid points since they were born… I saved them way before that… I can’t believe that it was all for nothing… NOw I can’t use any of them at all… That is so disappointing to everyone… I have a red pitcher, spoon, cups and such that I got the boys years ago and they love it… They wanted me to get them something else and we finally thought about it when we were cleaning out my mom’s house when she passed away last month she had envelopes full of these points… NOW I CAN’T USE ANY OF THEM… That sucks… I am truly disappointed in this.. It is truly a sad day here… Thanks… Joyce Myers
I Received the Kool-aid points in the divorce and now they are no good. Shame on you Kool-aid !
This is so SAD! I was cleaning out an old cupboard and discovered my children’s Kool-Aid points. Over the years we have collected hundreds of points and kept in the same container for years. I finally decided to redeem them for something for our family. Boy was I SHOCKED when I discovered that they no longer redeem them. I read that they only have some cheap stuff left…no thanks! I’ll just burn them at our next campfire, and remember how long we have carried that container from home to home over the years has our family grew.
i’m surprised to that their discounting the point system. i have been collecting for years and was going through my stuff and found them. how could they do this to us. this is unfair. i ‘ve been wanting the plastic picture and cups that went with it. how can we use these point now throw them out i don’t think so. stop buying kool-aid not likely. please come up with something better than that. there gotta be more to this. give us a chance to use our points for something better. or even cash.
i am very disappointed becaUSE I CONTINUOUSLY BOUGHT KOOLAID IN THE PAST AND I HAVE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY POINTS THAT I BEEN SAVING TO GET A LOT OF PRIZES =(
I luved collecting kool-aid points!!!Why did u do away with them,I am so sure other kids like me have enjoyed collecting them as much as I have!
This is not cool!! I, like a previous poster, went online tonight to see what I could get with the many many points I have saved- only to find this! Noooooo!!! Kool-Aid, why??
ITA! I was cleaning out the drawer and found my container of points. I use them for stocking stuffers for my kids. I didnt hear about the discontinuation of points. What a bummer….
Kraft needs to bring it back, its a tradition and its obvious LOTS of us have points we have been saving to spend.
This sucks!
Thank-you Kraft for taking away the kool-aide points my kids have been collecting for years, it is a shame no one cares enough about children to keep this going. I will no longer buy kool-aide and will tell anyone who will listen to do the same, so thanks once again for nothing.
no more points??????????????????????after 55 years i’m giving up kool-aid.sorry
I used to collect these in a jar with my mom, and I would always grab a copy of the latest prize flyer from the Kool-Aid dealy when we’d go shopping. I always loved seeing that you could get a Nintendo(!) for little pieces of paper if you patiently saved up enough of them… I’m 24 now, and that jar of little paper squares still sits on the kitchen shelf at my parents’ place. It makes me a little sad inside to know we’re no longer sitting on a jar of potential “treasure.”
Ah, well… guess I have no reason not to switch to the store brand drink flavor packets. Flavored sugar water will probably always be referred to as “a glass of Kool-Aid,” but I’ll know mine isn’t. =(
this is stupid!!!!!you guys at kraft are losersand just down right crule!!!!!!!!!!you r so mean!!!!!!!! i’m 12 years old and we have a couple thousand pionts and we are so disappiointed!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate this bad no horrible news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just spend the greater part of my day counting and preparing my collected points only to discover that there is no more Kool-Aid fun rewards. I have over 2000 points!
I have saved since I was a kid and I hope that these comments get sent to the kraft ppl so that they can see what a let down this is. My son was also involved and now what? What r we going 2 do w/all of our points? How disappointing.
Say it isn`t so. If they are not going to use the points anymore,,,apparently as of last year? I think I read that somewhere, why are the points still on the kool-aid packets? I have over 2000 points. I have been saving them since my girls were little. They are now almost 21 and 23.
I’ve got a container of kool-aid points, too. And it sucks that Kraft is no longer issuing/redeeming points.
BUT it’s not the end of my world! I’ve got bigger things to worry about than getting a plastic kool-aid envelope holder.
I’ll live! Hope everyone else will find a way to cope.
Don’t throw them away yet, they may change their minds after reading all these coments.
people please! why are we rolling over like this if we want koolaid points maby we should be sending emails to kraft to say we want it. rather then just complaining on sites like this. i sent an email myself today. but just me alone won’t make any difference. so go hunt down their email address and send off a note saying why koolaid points are important to you and please don’t discontinue the program.
I love Koolaid points! I am getting beach towels for everyone for Christmas since that is pretty much all they have left now.
I think that is bullshit that you all are not taking points anymore. I have two bags of points that I have never counter them. I think if you are going the points off than you should make the kool-aid cheaper it should 6 for a dollar just like the others. because you are no different then the other companies.
I LOVED Kool-Aid points! My daughter’s elementary school used to have drives to collect them from people who didn’t want to redeem them. Then they would buy stuff from the catalogs and give them out to students for Honor Roll and other prizes. Really neat. The best thing we ever ordered was the Game Boy- 2500 points and $1.75! We had every T-Shirt and other goodies! I think we may have a beanie. Yes, I will e-mail them and comment how my kids LOVED the Wacky Warehouse and loved collecting Kool-Aid points. Then again, since Kool-Aid is made in Mexico now…
My kids and I enjoy drinking Kool-Aid and kept saving the points with the hope will get a good prize. I can’t believe it’s over. Thank you for the info. I will try to redeem what we have.
betzy
why did they discontinue them anyway?
I have several thousand points accumulated, and when I had just missed getting a gameboy they were offering for 1200 points sometime around the year 2000, I called to discuss this with Kraft and they ASSURED me that these points will “NEVER EXPIRE”. That means they need to make things right for those of us who have been faithful collectors. Given the fact that I doubt there are many of us multiple-thousand point collectors, they need to find something amazing and offer it up for those who have been good consumers of the Kool Aid product. It’d cost them next to nothing, and I imagine that they’d get a boat load of publicity for it. If they offered something like an iPod for 2000 or 3000 points, I sincerely doubt they’d have many people able to get it, and there would be no way for someone to collect the points over time.
Why don’t all of us with lots of points contact Kraft and really read them the riot act (politely), since making good for us oldtimeres has to be worth its weight in gold, publicity-wise.
Just a thought…
I have over 80,000 points and this is an absolute outrage. My list of available prizes is being shipped to me as we speak. If i’m lucky i might get 500 of some bullshit low end prize. Kool-aid….. You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!
Wow. That sucks. I just found about 300 points that I had collected from when I was in college in the 90′s. They had this awesome YOSHI 8bit Nintendo game for something like 1000 points, so I’d go to the grocery store and rip the 25 points label off all of the big tubs. I got that Nintendo game in no time, and still have it. Maybe I’m the reason they stopped this program? If so, too bad you losers! They’re f*cking Kool-Aid points, not life support points! You’ll get over it. And maybe I’ll get a couple shirts with my 200 points I have left!
Kool-Aid taught me cheaters win, because I got a Nintendo game and you guys didn’t! Mwaaaa Haaaaa Haaaaa!
Did any of you even look at the Kraft Web site? You can use the points until 2010 on a limited set of items: Beach towel, pitcher, shirt, kool-aid holder.
Here’s the site:

PLEASE, I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER A CATOLOG, BUT A BOOK CATALOG NOT A PAPER. LET KNOW SOMETHING BACK PLEASE.
THANK YOU
I can’t beleive they stopped doing the kool-aid points. I haven’t ordere anything in years and I decided to get online to check out the catalog and I saw that they are no longer doing the kool-aid points. I did find an order sheet so I guess I am going to go through my points and order stuff. I really hate that they are no longer doing the points.
I was wondering if anyone had 5 “extra” points that they couldn’t use; I have 120, just need 5 to get a t-shirt.
Thanks!
Vicki, I have extra points, if you want to e-mail me your address I will get them in the mail to you.
Hey guys!! If anyone has any extra points- i would sure appreciate it if someone could spare some. Would love to get the pitcher for my grandaughter who is now learning to love Kool-Aid. I only have about 25 points but I am trying to scronge up some from my family and using the unopened packets that i have with points on them. Would really appreciate it so very much. I have a mug from when my daughter was younger that my grandaughter drinks out of now and would love to have the pitcher to go along with it. Thanks so very much.
Michelle,
Thank you very much. Please email me at latda@cox.net
Michelle, I could not send my email address to you, since I do not have your address. Please contact me at latda@cox.net and put kool-aid points in subject line, so I do not accidentally delete it.
Just in case I am unable to contact Michelle, if anyone else has an extra 5 points, please contact me at above email address.
Thank you!
Vicki
I think Kool Aid should be banned till they bring back the points,, I am sure it does not cost them anything to have prizes.. I am in marketing and most companies donate prizes for repete business. I have used kool aid points for promotions, got all the kool aid cups from the early days, I collected there gifts for the McDonald House Kids, and we all need to join together to let Kraft know that we do not agree with a tradition that has gone on since my Grandpa days..
Thank You
There have been a few people looking for just enough points to get things they really wanted. If you need only a few points, like in the neighborhood of 5 to 25 or so, please feel free to email me at housemouse2@peoplepc.com. If you contact me via email, I’ll be happy to send you the points if you send me a SASE (to an address I’ll send you in private email). It’s clear I won’t be able to get anything great anymore, so all the better to help someone else get what they want.
Happy shopping!
I have some points and wanted to know if anyone has gotten one of the towels and what the quality of it is like. Also, I have a few extra points, if someone needs them still, email me at dezitzman@aol.com
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
Ok, I’ve somehow missed this press release, Today’s 21 May 09 & I was looking where to redeeme the Koolaid points I’ve been collecting along with my 2 daughters since they were born,.(now 16 yrs old# they loved to save them thinking about the other toys we redeemed them for. I have over 800 + plus in 1 decorative container & threw away 2 other container’s with ?? amount of points. Was looking for the Kites & Blanket’s & the pitcher set to replace the ones that have worn out over the years. Very sad that they are no longer available !!! Nostalgic memories of times gone pass for us who grew up with Kool-Aid & too bad for the kids growing up now I guess! Will check the form to see whats left,.. :#
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING KOOL-AID POINTS FOR MY DAUGHTERS SINCE THEY WHERE BORN, THEN I STARTED COLLECTING THEM FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND THAT HAS BEEN FOR 27YRS.I’VE BOUGHT EVERYTHING THAT THEY WANTED TWICE AND NOW I HAVE OVER 2000 POINTS AND THAT IS JUST BEING NICE,SO CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME A BOOK OR SHOW ME HOW I CAN REDEEMED ALL THOSE POINTS.HOWEVER I FEEL THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD THE PUBLIC THAT YOU WHERE NO LONGER USING OR PRINTING THE POINTS ANYMORE! THIS IS NOT FAIR TO PEOPLE LIKE ME NOR OTHERS WHOM HAVE SERVED KOOLAID FOR SO MANY YEARS.I WANT TO REDEEM ALL MY POINTS AT ONE TIME!
What a shame, we have been collecting forever as well. Now we have only 4 items to choose from to cash them in. Maybe there are some old products stuck in a closet somewhere to give a better selection. Such a shame, one of the reasons we purchased the brand was due to the points, it helped offset the cost and gave us the feeling the company was giving something back. If there are any other items that can be purchased, please let us know. Still think it is a shame.
I sent in my points and the order form months ago. The check i sent in was cashed too. I ordered towels,t-shirts and pitchers if i remember right.
THE KOOL AID POINTS NEED TO BE BROUGHT BACK!!!
what can we as the people who buy the kool-aid do to bring the points back or to keep it a live. HELP keep a good thing alive?
All good things come to an end. Generations change. Some are no fun.
my family has been collected kool-aid points from the start of the point we have over 10 thousand point
I have over 5000 points. I have collected for years and would like more than 4 items to choose from. I would like for someone from kool aide to take a stand and make more items available to the long time customers that have purchased kool aide for years. With the 5000 points I have collected for years, I can get 14 towels and it will cost me 62.30 for shipping and handling that is NOT A DEAL. That is a DUD. Do what is right for your long time customers. It is people like us that has supported your products forever.
Thanks Connie Smith
They haven’t been discontinued, Today’s date is August 25th 2009, and I have only been collecting them for a week. I only have 50 Kool-Aid points.
Does anyone have an extra 195 points that they are not going to use. Of all tings my son wants to be for Halloween…the Kool Aid Man and now that I find out I could have collected points and that they have been discontinued…looked on my packs tonight…no points…I would really like to get him a shirt and a pitcher to use for his costume. So if anyone has any suggestions or would like to do something very nice for my littleman and part with some points that you may not use or throw away, please let me know, I will check back daily. Thanks in advance!
I was a collector of koolaid points since i was a child. I am 41 years old now, and wanted to redeem them just like everyone else in the world.The prize list seemed a little cheasy. Why can’t the company bring back good old times and start the point system again. Life has gotten so technical,kids don’t have reasons to be kids anymoreKoolAid is a big part most childhood memories. Lets bring back the collecting and the good prizes.
my dad said thaat he collected points snce i was born in 1999 and i was hoping i could get prizes
Just a quick update. The form appears to have been moved to http://brands.kraftfoods.com/koolaid/KoolPointsForm.pdf I just spent a few frustrating minutes trying to find it at the address listed at the beginning of this site. Hope this helps.
I am very disturbed by this American icon, I was raised on Koolaid and my children were raised on it. I have saved points for almost twenty years to be able to get my all something from their point. I wanted to be able to get something nice for them and knew I needed to save a large amount to be able to do this. I wanted them to have a memory of their days playing outside with their friends and drinking Koolaid. Boy what a dissappointment to the sellection that
“Kraft Foods” hae left us with compared to what it used to be. Most Americans do not bother to save the points, but the ones that did must have been heart broken also.I think America needs to know what has happened to their childhood favorite.
Hi,
I just realized I still had these points laying around and wanted to cash them in. However, I only have 112 points – and I would like to get the t-shirt for my husband – who would love it. Does anyone have 13 points they don’t need and would possibly give to me? I will check the stores to see if any of the packages have any points but I seriously doubt they do. I wish they would allow you to buy extra points to make up the difference. Maybe I will email them to see if that is possible.
Anyhow – I would be really grateful if anyone could spare the 13 points I need. I would gladly send you an envelope or even a small fee for them. Please email me at emilysteng@yahoo.com
Thanks!
Anonymous? Really? Why was my comment rejected the first time when I refused to give my name and e-mail?
KOOL-AID…this sucks! I have over 1000 points! I have been waiting for Kool-Aid to come out with something awesome like the Six Flag Passes. I only needed a few more and when I went to redeem them they were out of passes. So I waited and they never did get something awesome like that again. I would check every once and a while through the 3 or 4 items they offered. All in all I will miss the Kool-Aid points. I redeemed them when I was a kid and my kids did it once and got fun stuff.
I guess the programs of collecting points and redeeming them for cool stuff is becoming a thing of the past…or is it? I predict that many years from now they will bring it back, for a limited time, and offer awesome merchandise. Simmer down to those of you who plan on keeping those points you’ve saved hoping that they will bring the program back or SOMETHING! The points will probably look the same but with some “authenicating holograph” leaving us out of the loop. I guess we’ll see what happens!
iam very disappointed about kool-aid points i remember when i was
younger my mom used to get free stuff it was always fun to collect points and order items kool-aid is the only drink i buy over other
brands. like i said i am very disappointed. look forward to seeing something from kool-aid in the near future.
Hi,
I can’t sign in for some reason but I wanted to say thanks everyone for the offers of kool-aid points. I got what I needed and don’t need anymore. Hope everyone who has points is able to spend them and get some fun stuff!!
My two year old recently found my stash of KoolAid points and I showed them to her and told her that we could look and find something fun to redeem them for. She’s two but totally understood redeeming these papers for cool things. I now go looking and discover there are no more points? Nice decision General Mills to discontinue the KoolAid points. I guess the bean counters have forgotten they were once kids too. Don’t worry, we’ll soon forget KoolAid too.
I cant belive this! I’ve been saving those damn things for 20 yrs. I came online to see what I can get for the thousands of points I saved. I wanted to buy something for my grandson. We all should stop drinking kool aid now. Maybe they will bring it back! Has anyone thought to ask Kraft to bring it back? Maybe if we all write them?
Iam soooo upset. I cant even throw them away. Should I still Keep em? anyone want them?
I don’t collect anymore, I never did manage to get the money for shipping so I never got to cash any points in, but I am a bit upset that the points will no longer be available, I think Kool-Aide was neat for the point system. This probably wasn’t a great idea for them to do, I mean, seriously, brand name food isn’t all that great anymore. I use Wylers most of the time because I get double the quantity and there’s no difference over Kool-Aide. So, in honesty, what is going to keep people from not buying kool-aide now?
If I ever buy kool-aide it’s only cause it’s on sale.
I have collected points w/ my kids for years,bought a few things but saved quite a few for larger prizes.It was a fun thing for us and we drank a lot of koolaid over the years.Done supporting you.SWITCHING TO wylers.
Wow. This is a shock. I too have just found out about the cancellation of the Kool Aid points. I redeemed points several years ago for an item and was quite happy with it. My daughter won a Kool Aid tent when she was young and got great use out of it. Just when I decide to go on the website and see what I can now redeem my points for — its gone. Maybe the program is not being used to the extent that Kraft envisioned it — where is the promotion?
Does Kool-Aid actually realize that people buy more of the product when we can collect and redeem points? This is a big marketing mistake and I’m sure Kool-Aid will see their sales decline as a result. Please bring back the point system… why stop a good thing?
I was very disappointed to find that there was no longer a catalog to order gifts from Me and my kids have been saving points for 30 years and my 12 year old said mommy when are you going to cash in those points because these packs don’t have any points on them any more. So I decided to go on line to cash in my points and to my dismay there were only a few gifts on there what at let down.
Sorry to see the Kool-aid program is now gone,have been saving for years and years!! I have a grocery bag full of points. Was fun while it lasted.
I have a lot of points. I’m surprised that Kraft is discontinuing them. I always bought kool aid for my children and they enjoyed sending in points to redeem them for items.
DEAR KOOLADE I ALSO AM VERY SAD TOO I SAVED THE POINTS FOR 5 YEARS AND HAVE 18,594 POINTS. WE ARE A THIRD GENERATION FAMILY AND ENJOY THE DRINK BECAUSE YOU CAN ADD AS LITTLE SUGAR AS YOU WANT. I ORDERED 5 ITEMS AND IT WAS SENT BACK TELLING ME WE COULD ONLY ORDER 1 ITEM, I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY SENT IT BACK IN STEAD OF SENDING THE TOP ITEM ON THE LIST. I HOPE THEY WILL DONATE POINTS FOR SCHOOLS OR SOMETHING USEFUL. THANKS FOR LISTENING
I was dumb founded. That the point system was way over with. I am 49 yrs old and my kids 24,25, &30 now- use to save the points. We had to waite to send them in when we got enough for three items at a time. They loved geting mail. I now have a grandaughter and I also watch children in my home but, we never quit drinking kool-aid. It’s always in our frige.
And it will be. It seems like all the little extra perks from companies are fading away. What is happening to America? Are they making kool-aid over seas too. Now our kool-aid points are HISTORY.
I just found a stash of kool-aid points in a cookie jar I put up in the cabinet about 4 years ago. I was hoping to take the kids onto the website to cash them in but sadly they don’t redeem them anymore. I always wanted one of the kool-aid man plastic pitchers!
Time to toss them out.
bad thing to do…..guess i will not be buying anymore koolaid …….so sad!!!
Wow Holly, I just had the same thing happen. My wife is moving out and I found over 2000 points that we had collected when we were first married 8 years ago.
Oh well, out with old, in with the new?
Also very disappointed to see Koolaid points can’t be redeemed. We’ve been saving since our kids were little, hoping to redeem them on something fun. Doesn’t give me much incentive to continue buying koolaid vs. another less expensive store brand. What a shame to disappoint so many faithful customers out there.
I have an old tin filled with hundreds and hundreds of Kool-aid points that I saved after making this special beverage with my mom and sister when I was younger So, I decided it would be very happy to cash in my points and know you tell me that they discontinued this promotion they once had? This is certainly disappointing….. I can`t believe this. It is so sad and very frustrating
I collected Kool-aid points with my children when they were little and redeemed them for really neat items. Even when they grew up we continued to collect points. Now I’m a grandmother and have hundreds, maybe even thousands, of kool-aid points and my grandson will never get to experience redeeming them, waiting for the mail to arrive and receiving his purchase. Wow Kraft, in my opinion, that was a terrible move. You’ve taken away something that could have been passed from generation to generation. Although you extended the redemption date, the overall response should have caused your company to re-think your decision to remove the points completely. I am EXTREMELY disappointed!!!
I am soooo disapointed I have 10 years worth of kool-aid points and nothing to do with them my kids are so disapointed!!!! wish I had a fireplace at least they could be kindleing!!!
Well I finally counted all the points in order to redeem them…3,177! Wow…The kids and I are so disappointed and I can see by the posted comments you can relate! I’ll admit this point collecting thing Kool Aid had going definitely encouraged us to buy that brand. I don’t believe this was a good marketing move on their part as we’ll likely buy M&M crystal drinks from now on. Heading to throw them out now…OUCH!
So disapointed.
i think we need to go on strike and get kool-aid points back so when teenagers become parents we teach are kids about collecting and getting prizes for collecting.
I’m so disappointed.i’ve collected these for a long time.That’s alot of kool aid drinking.I ‘m not saying that’s bad just saying I thought we could get a kool reward at the end of 9 years or more of collecting.Sorry my family missed out ;-( .
i called this morning to get a catalog from koolaid to find out they no longer redeem points. this is sad because my boys will miss out on the kool koolaid products we enjoyed as being little and i saved alot of points as a little girl. all i wanted was a pitcher and glasses.
WOW I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. WHAT DO I DO WITH 1000s OF KOOLAID POINTS? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME I CAN STILL REDEEM THEM, I HAVE BEEN SAVING THEM FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING KOOLAID STUFF. I’M SO SAD. I HAD NO CLUE THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE WORTH ANYTHING SOMEDAY.
I CAN”T BELIEVE THAT THE KOOL-AID WACKY WAREHOUSE IS OUT OF BUSINESS!!! THIS TOTALLY SUCKS WHEN I HAVE 2 LARGE BAGS OF POINTS THAT I HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR YEARS, FIRST WITH MY 2 SONS WHO ARE NOW 30 AND 28 AND THEY PASSED THEIR COLLECTION DOWN TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO IS NOW 12…WE HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO SHOW HER THAT IF YOU WORK HARD AND HAVE A GOAL (CUTTING OUT ALL THE POINTS AND TAPING THEM TO AN INDEX CARD AND THEN PUTTING THEM IN A NOTEBOOK SHOWING THE AMOUNT THAT YOU PRESENTLY HAVE AND SAVE THEM BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYIING TO SAVE FOR SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES A LARGER NUMBER OF POINTS!) THEN YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT YOU HAVE SET OUT TO DO!!! AND THEN THEY JUST KNOCK THE KID(S) DOWN!!! HOW DARE THEM!!! I REALLY DON’T CARE IF THEY HAD POSTED A “NOTICE”!!! ON-LINE!!! WHY THE HE** DIDN’T THEY POST THE NOTICE WHERE THE POINTS ARE ON THE PACKAGES AND THE BOXES FOR US TO SEE AND BE AWARE OF BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE TO BENEFIT FROM OF SAVING OF THEM!!! I HAVE BOYCOTT THEM (KELOGG/KOOL-AID) SINCE THIS HAS COME OUT AND I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY MORE ITEMS FROM THEM…THERE ARE TOO MANY SUPPLIERS THESE DAYS TO GIVE US A CHOICE AND I FEEL IF THEY WANTED TO STOP THEIR WACKY WAREHOUSE THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID OUT $$$ FOR EACH POINT FOR OUR (WASTED) TIME AND ENERGY FOR SAVING THEM. I REALLY WISH THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE THAT WE COULD DO AS CONSUMERS…DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS??? HOW ABOUT WITH THE BBB…EVEN THOUGH THEY GAVE NOTICE SHOULDN’T THEY HAVE POSTED SOMETHING ON THE ITEMS THAT WE WERE PRESENTLY BUYING TO GIVE US A HEAD’S UP….I AM NOT GIVING THEM ONE MORE CENT OF MY $!
SORRY…I WAS VENTING SO MUCH THAT I DID TYPE THE WRONG COMPANY…I MEANT TO TYPE KRAFT NOT KELOGG…YES, MY FAMILY IS STILL BUYING FROM KELOGG! I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE KRAFT COMPANY (AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE $$$ THAT THEY COULD HAVE INVESTED IN CLEANING UP THIS SITUATION BUT IT IS US THE LITTLE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE OUT THE $$$ THAT WE SPENT ON THEIR ITEMS *THINKING* THAT WE WERE GETTING SOMETHING FOR THE POINTS…ISN’T THAT A FORM OF FRAUD??? HAS ANYONE CHECKED INTO THIS FROM A LEGAL POINT MORE FOR THE PRINCIPLE OF IT???
I’m pretty disappointed about this. I’ve been collecting these points for over 20 years and for what? for nothing? I agree with Bre and I think they should of posted something about it on their products or SOMETHING! Not everyone has the internet so how would people without the net know about this? I never even thought to check online about it, because I never thought they’d discontinue it after ALL THESE YEARS.
After all these years of buying their stupid products- I’ll make sure never to buy any again!
I’m throwing away a huge zip-lock bag of Kook-Aide points. Very sad.
I have been saving points for over 20 years, I never knew the program was discontinued, please bring it back, Its fun for kids and I used as a reward system for mine as we cant afford to give them allowance they earned points.
I can’t believe kool aid stopped with the points! My son just found our bag of points & now we’re stuck with over 2000 points! I use to use the points when my daughter was small & now I have a lil grandson who could have used them!!!!
wow! another american icon gone down the tubes. like most of the posts, i too, have boatloads of points and now nowhere to redeem them. i used to redeem them for really cool stuff for my son when he was little. come on kool aid, bring the points program back!
If anyone from Kool-aid is reading all these posts, maybe you’ll realize what a disappointment it is to many that the Kool-aid points system is gone. I’m packing to move after many years and found a large amount of points in a plastic bowl. I used to save them and cut them all out at once, just to rinse my hands when I was done to see what color they were stained. I have so many. Maybe if all of us with leftover, unusable, no longer any good points combined them we could start a revolution against Kool-aid and convince them how important it was to us as kids, our kids and Kool-aid’s future with their public. For once, listen to the people that made you what you are today!!!
I really think there should have been more of a notice that Kool-Aid points were going to expire. After saving and purchasing Kool-Aid points for over 20 years and not being able to redeem them is just rotten and horrible and I will not be purchasing Kool-Aid in my household any more.
Wow! I’ve been collecting these for about 19 years now. I decided today to cash them all in, only to find out Im about a year too late. BOO!
aww that sucks angela same here i have lots i was able to collect me some kool aid dolls about 4 of them so sad we can’t get more goodies
yeah a year or so late, i have about 2-3 thousand, i quess just to be trashed, what a disappointment.
yeap same here have to discard of them so sad:(
I think if the Kool aid points are not redeemable any more then they should honor them to give 5 cents per point or something to a cause like cancer, homeless people….something …..
just like the pop tabs do …..
yes i agree they should good idea i have lots to donate
awwwww wow i am so sad i can’t redeem my kool-aid points i have been collecting them for decades i still have lots of them not realizing all good things come to a end i have to discard of them now but i still enjoy drinking kool-aid,i was able to collcet me some kool-aid dolls a cup a bag but it was fun while they lasted thx kool-aid for the goodies i logged on too late to send them in oh well!!!!
i am just heart broken i have saved for years i still have the pitcher and 2 of the mugs its been years but i didnt have to send money with my points to get what i got i have called years ago for a catalog and iv wrote and never got a responce i cant beleave kool aid has done this not only to grownups but to our kids and grandkids i dont think i will be buying anymore shame on you
have thousands of kool-aid points i just found in my cabinet came on to redeem but found this page boy am i disapointed
Well here it is…..December 2011. I thought kool-aid points were going to be around for a while. Or maybe the years just went by too fast. Well, we, me and my 5 children, (relates back to the e-mail address), collected a lot of points!! Didn’t realize the points were outdated this long. Crazy thing is my kids didn’t know either. And, for some strange reason my kids keep collecting those empty kool-aid packs when making it for my grands! LOL I think ??
You need to bring back points i have been looking forward to getting prizes because i have hundreds and i dont want to waste them all.
I have been collecting these since my oldest was born 26 years ago. I had planned on spending them for something as a wedding present gift. I find out today they are no longer good!! HOw can the time fly by! So sad if would have been a grand gift idea!
I too have enjoyed drinking koolaid and collecting points since I was a kid. I had gathered up all the ones I had collected to get the pitcher and cups and other goodies only to be disapointed to learn they had been discontinued. Sad for me and my grandkids along with other long time kool-aid fans.
I just woke up this morning and made a pitcher of Kool-aid. After I got through, I kept the pouch and turned on my computer to see if I could find out any information about the points program. I thought that it would be a Kool thing to introduce my daughter to, a remnent of my childhood. It is hard to put into words the disappointment and sadness that I am feeling at the moment. I read in these posts that Kraft claimed it was due to the lack of customer participation. I would hope that Kraft could come up with some way to improve the point collection and redemption process. It takes a while to build up points, so maybe Kraft could have super points inside some Kool-aid products. Kraft could also come up with Kooler and more modern products to be redeemed. If you want better customer participation, you should advertise the program and some of the prizes available. There are so many children channels, so it would be easy to get kids’ interest sparked by flashing them some Kool prizes and telling them how easy it is to earn points. Kraft should have also put the little Kool-aid points catalog back on store shelves next to their products. It has been years since I’ve seen one of those. Thanks for listening.
I have thousands of points was saving for a handheld nintendo,but guess what no more points or catalog . I have redeemed them for years got several pictures with glasses . I still have a red picture, but no glasses because the neigborhood kids took them. It would be kool if you could donate your points or something. Kraft get going think about it clear you name! We all love points and savings.
I just came to see about Kool-aid points. I am am sad to see this gone, I have two toddlers and wanted to show them saving things and getting prizes for dedication. The sad part is Coke has rewards , yet it is so unhealthy and not as fun. Why Kraft? This was the main reason I bought your drink mix as a child, A little customer appreciation would be nice, especially since inflation prices. I guess thanks for the memories….
I was cleaning house and discovered kool aid points my kids had saved for years before tossing them -i wanted to check to see if they can still be used ?
i ran across kool aid points my kids had been saving for years- long ago and wanted to know if i can still use them otherwise they will be tossed !
i’m with you Robbin ….. have tons of kool aid points still? are they redeemable still ?
I know we had fun redeeming them for our oldest couple of sons. Then the things you could redeem were not fit for our, modest allowances here in our home. Now nothing. We have one little red Kool-Aid cup, Never did have the pitcher. =-( and we have one Beach towel. I would love to cash some in again. What a black eye Kraft is giving them self. They should have given a 10 year warning or some thing, as they can see many of us are infrequent to check on this. Out of our 5 sons I know our youngest two had never gotten anything and they are still young enough to be living at home. Bad choice Kraft. I know we will be buying the off brand now. =-(
I’ve saved them for years and thei family has as well my son got too old for most of the items now that hes got a boy i was going to hand them down to him to buy stuff for his kids..What a was ive got arount 8000 to 9000
IT’S A SHAME I HAVE 4 GRAND CHILDREN AND I HAVE SAVED THESE POINTS FOR YEARS WITH MY KIDS. NOW IT HAS STOPPED. I WILL NEVER THROW AWAY MY POINTS HOPING THE KRAFT CORP. WILL BRING THIS BACK FOR ALL KIDS…. IT WAS ALWAYS SO FUN TO PICK THINGS OUT WITH THEM. I HAD THE KIDS ALL PUMPED UP TO DO THIS AND LOOKED ON THE WEBSITE AND SURPRISE THE GRINCH CAME IN AND TOOK IT AWAY…………………….
I just ran across my gallon zip-lock bag of points that I cut,trimmed counted and organized for close to 22reality years. Is there ANYWAY THEY CAN BE BROUGHT BACK FOR US COLLECTORS?!
I hate to toss them out and as soon as I do KRAFT decides to honor them. I NEED ANSWERS PLEASE!!!!!!
I just found 3000 + kool-aid points and another uncounted zip lock bag of them…My, oh my….I would have loved to have gotten the good ol’ kool-aid pitcher, cups, etc….Can’t believe Kool-aid gave up the points!!!!
Same here, I am moving and just found 1000′s of points. I have a 3 year old and was telling her how I saved these for years and we sat down to see what we can get. I am so upset they discontinued the program. I will not throw away my points, I have a feeling they may bring the program back. Wishful thinking here in Chicago.
I’ll never buy kool-aid products again-bottom line!!!
So sad that I can not show my 10 year old how his older brothers got so many cool prizes. Was cleaning out a cubard that we have not used in years and there are close to a thousand points so I told him lets go see what we can get and nothing. 1 sad little boy and a very upset mother. Sorry to say we will still buy the kool-aid products as he loves the pouches easy to freeze and take along on outings but will look at other options. Please let us know if there is any way to redeem them I really hate to throw away what took us forever to save.
A Kool-aid fan since childhooda
UGH! Was just telling my kids about the Kool-aid points we just found in my closet. A good 2,000 at least. My kids were anxious to see what we could get. They have absolutely no love for Kool-aid like I did as a kid, since there are no fun commercials, and no fun collecting things. Bad move Kool-aid.
So disappointed. I’m hanging on to the points in case Kool-aid finds a stash of stuff they’d love to off load and has a heart… I loved getting stuff from Kool-aid… :O(
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so MAD start it again! :0) I love kool-aid stuff.
I also have koolaide points to give away. Please send an address
I have a lot of Kool-Aid points if someone can use them. I know that a ‘Cynthia Holder said they would like to buy them. Do schools use them?
I am so sad that I can not use them. I have been saving them up to get a real good gift. The beach towel would have been nice. Oh well. Do you think it will ever come back? Wow this is sad!
I started cleaning kitchen drawers, and found a bag of Kool-Aid points, Betty Crocker points, Kraft Cheese & Macaroni points, and Kellogg’s Store points. Seems that all of these programs have been discontinued. . Looks like the Campbell’s soup labels and Box Tops for Education programs are still alive and kicking!
I just found a huge bag of Kool-aide points, since we can’t redeem them if anyone is still looking for them, email me.
Hello, where abouts r u located, if ur close enough to me I would love to have ur kool-aid points for I have got my kids using them for crafts and counting games.. please message me back email. thank you
Still want Kool aid points I would be happy to mail them to you.
Well going threw my memory trunk yesterday, I came up with a bunch of kool-aid points that i remember collecting. What can I do with them? Now when i go out i look for points….can’t seem to find them. A friend said “google” it! so i did. here i end up. and i find out they are discontinued. Can i still cash them in???
Just jenny
I found some…what do i do with them?
I am very sorry to hear about your agency discontinuing the kool aid points. I had forgotten about the ones I had. I had saved 3,091 for my grandchildren.

Oh no! This is so disappointing. I’ve been saving
Koolaid points for a lot of years. My kiddos are upset
about the change too. Thanks for a good, affordable
drink mix that kids have enjoyed for many years.
Why did they stop the points thing?
04/04/07 I tried to redeem these points and my package was sent back,
So, I decided to just leave them in the cabinet. Then, when I went back to
redeem them again, I’m still told that I can’t. Something is wrong with this!!!
-Hope.
I say it is pure B.S. This is Kraft Foods (Kool-Aid’s) Reward for brand loyalty and loyalty to their rewards program? I say Let’s BOYCOTT Kool Aid all-together if not the entire line of Kraft products (including the expensive Mac-n-Cheese. Flavor-Aid is just as tasty, just as much vitamin C and about 1/3 the cost per serving!
Cynthia Holder I could not find a place to reply to your comment. I have points if you still are in need of them Email me at ambcart_2000@yahoo.com
Im completely disappointed. I had been collecting them since 1989. Thanks alot guys. Now i wont drink it.
I saved Kool-aid points and got things for my kids. No I want to use the ones I still have for my grandchilldren and have no way to. It is a disappointment. I have at least 1000 points that have moved with me three times. Now my grandchildren are old enough to enjoy those products, I can’t get them.
I was just cleaning my kitchen and found a canister full of forgotten Kool-aid points. Would love to donate them.
I have 2 or 3 boxes of points let me know I will gladly donate instead of throwing them away, Saved them with my kids and grandkids.
Would like to see them do some good.
Let me know if you need them.

I thinks Kraft Foods are Jag -Offs for discontinuing the points
I have had Kool-aid points (1000′s of them) saved in a bag in the garage for years now. This is just crazy. Years ago, I got a Kool-Aid Barbie and a Kool-Aid pitcher and glasses… Augh! LOL… What I get for holding onto them…. ;-(
I too have a lot of points that I would love to donate. Please keep me informed on what Kraft decides to do. Hopefully the right thing and donate to children’s causes
Hi all, Well Kraft foods have just give me a call to say that they will take the points off us as a one time thing, so I need to get the total number of points for them. If you want to donate your points just give me an email and I will send you the address to send them to, all you need to do is put a note in with them when you mail them to say how many points there is. That way I just need to add them up to get a total and if you put your email address is with them, I will send you an email to say I have got them. Thanks to all that will donate!!! Martin.

This is 2015 and I just found my points. Are they still being collected and redeemed, or should I just recycle them?
I just came across some points as well. After saving them I would hate to throw them out. I would love to see them go to a great cause. What will I be supporting?
Hi Pauline, We have to see what the total is when we get them all in and then donate the gifts to a Children’s Hospital.
Hi there…just thought I would check on the same thing and to my surprise….I’m not alone….have a TON and would love to add them to the mix if anyone actually wants to persue it…Martin Barnes, you sound like you have worked this the furthest…let me know if you would like mine added to the “mix”!!

I just ran across your thread ‘Kool-Aid Points Discontinued, Can Still Be Redeemed’.Are you still collecting points for the children’s hospital? Recently I was cleaning out the kitchen and I found a bag full of Kool-Aid points my kids used to save, I was going to throw them out but found your site and thought I would like to contribute to your cause. Please email me the address you would like me to send them to and in the meantime I have counted 1021. I also have tons of KRAFT points from mac n cheese boxes, Handi Snacks, etc… do these count as well since Kool aid is a KRAFT product? Let me know if you are interested in those points as well. Thank you

I didn’t get in on this in time, but I want to thank you for taking such initiative on the project. What was the final decision for what they’d do about the points? Something like this needs to be on a “Good News” page!
Hi if someone is still collecting these points could please email me and I will be
More than happy to donate them only thing is theres to many to count.

Are they still taking points? I just found about 200. Thanks.
I just found a bunch of points if anyone is still collecting them
Are you still collecting points?

I just found a bag full of koolaid points – can they still be redeemed.
thanks
Hello just found lots of points wanting to know what to do with them any ideas
Can the points still be turned in for the children’s hospital.
Hey y’all . I was wondering the same as Denny. Can my points still be used for the children’s hospital and did they ever agree?
yes plese post it onthe site, KRAFT, please, we wouild so love to help and some of us to pay forward, can’t you?
Please Kraft from your Loyal customers.
Wow! Really wish I would of known. I just came across this and have saved every Kool-Aid point for 22 years starting with the birth of my first daughter. Guess I missed out on a bunch. Anyway, if someone is doing the hospital thing let me know please. Really wish they would start this back up:(
I also have a large amount of points. Would be great if Krafts would do this and let people know they are doing this one more time in the name of helping kids in need. Let us know.
I found a lot of points in the back of a file cabinet when cleaning. Has anybody heard anything about donating these points to a children’s hospital? That would be great, if I only knew where to send them.
Since they have become worthless I do not see how they could help.
we were so excited when we got enough koolaid points to get koolaid tennis shoes for our 1st born. that was about 28 years ago
I was cleaning out a closet and came across two boxes of kool-Aid points. I’m willing to donate the points to a worthy cause. I just don’t want to throw them away. They could be traded in for school books or a children’s cancer care center?
I have a large amount of these also to donate..pls let me know where to send!!!
Hi! I, too, just found a ton of Kool-Aid points and would like to utilize them. Is this donation process still open? Please let me know. Thanks!
Just saw this site and was disappointed that the Kool-Aid points were discontinued as I just came across a bag full that I had saved. If anyone knows of anyone that can use these or if they are being donated somewhere, please let me know. millie0627@verizon.net
Please let me know what I can do with my Kool Aid points.
Thank You
If anyone needs some points email me at Lisapocza13@icloud.com. I’ve got 310+ points. Not much but if it will help I will mail them to you. Just ask. Thanks. Lisa
It is Aug2014. Mr. Martin can you provide one last comment regarding how the points drive for Children’s hospitals worked out as well as information for future kool aid points drives. Thank you
I have kool aid points and I would like to know how to redeem them????? I did not know that they were no longer on the packages. Please let me know asap as to how to redeem and what I can get with them …….. Thank you
I too, have found some points and am willing to send anywhere or anyplace that can use them. Please let me know. Thanks.
Has anyone gotten any answers to these posts whether anyone is collecting these Kool-Aid points or not?
I have 1000′s of points too…would like to know how to redeem them or donate them too….PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I have points too.
My Husband just found a box of points in the attic
around a l000. Let me know if they are still able to be donated.
I too have some points I would love to donate if anyone has any information on where I can send them please let me know.
I just read that kool aide are no longer redeemable. I have 2,000 points. Before I toss them, are you sure???
I’ve been saveing Kool-Aid packs for 28yrs.(the age of my youngest) for the pitcher sets and other things and I’m saving them now to this day I buy it all the time and it’s just my husband now and he doesn’t drink it.I buy it when it’s on sale 50packs for 5.00 (good deal) any I have 100′s maybe up to a 1,000 any suggestions ?
I too, have 1800
I have a bunch too! Just found them. Is someone still collecting them?
I have over 5,000. I wish i would have thought of it sooner. I stopped counting at 5,000. Have 4 brothers and we went threw about 2 to 3 gallons a day for over 15 years.
I have been saving Kool-Aid points for more than 30 yrs. have redeemed some along the way & was going to do the last several hundred for something for my grandchildren and I find out they aren’t being accepted any more. That is most disturbing. it was a right of passage when i was a child and my children as well, really wishing this wasn’t true. I almost through them all out then decided to check really quick to be sure I saw this site and at first it seemed hopeful. Now I don’t know whether to leave them in the trash or grab them out again hoping Kraft will reinstate the program. Well, a girl can dream, right?
Hey Martin,
If you want some more points I can sure send them to someone via “snail mail”..I’ve been holding my points since my kids were little and they are now in their 30′s…lol.
Send me an email at Buddy4one@aol.com and I’d be glad to send them to whomever is going to send them in and get the donations rolling for the kids.
Thanks gang!
I have found a bag too, hundreds for sure, are you still collecting?
makes me sad to collected them with my children and found a bag of them what a bummer.
just found this page and did not know kool aid stopped with the points redeeming for gifts. geez i have saved and received various items through out the years and they would be collector items now i’m sure….but i still have a bag of points to use and can’t …..thats too bad, unless they come back into play….hopefully
I just found a bag of points too!! I was so excited! But then I learned that Kool Aid stopped taking them. What do we do with them? I don’t want to throw them out. I have memories of sitting and cutting out each one, grouping them in 10′s and taping them into a nice little line so they would be easier to count and mail in. Not to mention the different colors my fingers turned while do it! I’m going to try to send them an email I guess.
HI, I just found my Kool Aid reward points and I know you are no longer accepting them, buy can I use them. Thank You in Advance:)
I have ALOT of points. What can we do with them , (other than throw them away), since they are no longer accepting them? Bummer…….
Cleaning out the attic and crammed drawers in an old dresser I found Kool-Aid points in fat envelopes. I’d forgotten all about them but turning the envelopes over in my hand brought back many happy memories full of children’s smiles and laughter. It’s been two decades since I’ve had Kool-Aid but I have fond memories of collecting with my three little girls. We home-schooled at that time and my husband was logging so there wasn’t a lot of money for anything extra. As a result we became very creative when it came time for Christmas and birthday presents. We started saving points and drinking more Kool-Aid just to get more points. We still have the smiling pitcher and mugs. One year for my husband’s Christmas present the girls suggested we get Papa something with the points we could save. We REALLY drank a lot of Kool-Aid then to get the needed points in time. We sent in for a really “Kool” baseball shirt. Those little girls cut out the points, pouring over the catalog the whole time, and picked out his gift all by themselves. It seemed like it took days for the red dye to wash off their little fingers. I remember the day we sent the coveted points in. They chattered among themselves and kept the secret that whole time. It seemed like it took forever for the exchange to take place. Getting the mail at the end of our very long driveway was a daily task they looked forward to. There was much excitement the day we received the package with lots of whispering, secret smiles and quick sideways glances filling the days leading up to Christmas. My little girls managed to keep the shirt a secret but boy were they excited when Papa opened his present! They could no longer contain themselves with jumping up and down, little hands clapping, and bright smiles splitting their faces from ear to ear! Their sense of accomplishment and sacrifice was endearing and heart-rending simultaneously. It makes me smile now just thinking about it, while squeezing my heart at the same time. Those little girls are 20 years older now and still just as self-sacrificing as they were all those years ago. Such important lessons learned with something so simple. How utterly disappointing to find no more cashing in of the points! I couldn’t believe it when I found this out. I am devastated! I would have liked to pass the Kool-Aid caper on to my grand daughters but alas, another major loss for this young generation!
Well, I just got on here to see how to redeem my points……….very disappointed to find out that can’t be done. You would think with all the comments here and many more out there, they would bring this decades old tradition back to life.
Fuzzbucket! C’mon, Kool-aid! Auld Lang Syne!!! I went back to the website several times,to get something special for my sons & daughter,but there was slim pickings each time,for quite awhile,except for younger children which I no longer had by the last time I was there. I’ve kept our points in a beautiful commemorative Kool-aid brand tin for awhile now…hoping for some Kool-aid beach towels,or some sweet memory for my older children to take out in the world someday. Hopefully,sweet enough,to pass on to future generations,family and friends. Here’s hoping you reconsider…if only for ONE SWEET KOOL-AID MOMENT!!!! Hey…ADVERTISING IS EVERYTHING….& PROFITABLE!
I have koolaid points. Can they be redeemed?
I have several hundred, KOOL AID points.
Are they still good for the hospital.
This is really sad! I thought that koolaid would live forever. I am very disappointed to find little in the stores and no points. Now all of the points I have mean nothing and I cannot give them to my grandchildren, just to see young ones drinking iced coffee! You killed the points and your product!
Just found a big bag of points, all from Vacation bible school, any one know if they would take them for the Childrens Hospital even now?
