Coke and a (free) movie

I don't drink coffee -- I've never liked the taste -- but I do drink Diet Coke. That's probably an understatement. One of my friends at work joked that I should just forego the drinking part and instead hook up an IV. Not wanting to look like an addict, though, I've stuck with the Super Big Gulp of Diet Coke from 7-11 (44 ounces of caffeine to get the day started) or the 12-ounce silver-bullet cans sold in vending machines and 12 packs.

Thanks to my smart boyfriend, I recently started collecting the Coke Rewards points from 12 packs -- 10 points per box -- and entering them into the My Coke Rewards Web site. So far, I've earned a silver movie ticket from AMC (good for any movie open two weeks or more) and am well on my way to another one. Sure, I won't be going to the cinema every weekend but if I can see a few free movies a year for doing something I already do anyway, well, that's such an easy way to save money, it's not really fair. But I'll take it!
