Fans of MyCokeRewards (and the fact you can use your points for Club Pogo subscriptions), we have good news! The promotion has been extended and will keep going in 2010!

2010 Program Extension::More Good Times are Coming Your Way

We’ve got some great news for you; My Coke Rewards will keep going in 2010. With millions of more ways to grab points from some new brands and packages, you can keep rewarding yourself all year long. The points you have already picked up will carry over and there will be no interruption in code entry. Check out the new rules after January 1 for complete details and dates.

For those of you unfamiliar with the promo, here are some details:

You can earn MyCokeRewards points for entering codes from Coca-Cola brand products. Once you’ve saved up enough rewards points, you can turn them in to get free stuff — like Club Pogo subscriptions. The deal is pretty sweet: one month of Club Pogo is 75 points, 3 months is 250, and a full year is only 550 points. (For what it’s worth, a 12-pack of Coke products will earn you 10 points, and bottles are worth 3.) When you use your points to get a Club Pogo subscription, they’ll send you a Club Pogo pass code via email with instructions to add the time to your account; like all Club Pogo passes, the time is added to the end of your current subscription.

Visit mycokerewards.com and search for “Club Pogo” for more information.

Thanks to MomsBassetHound for letting us know this promo has been extended!

I love it when random items appear in our Mini’s closets. Quite often they’re a mistake (anyone remember the Robo-Blender 5000 from Word Riot, which made its appearance in our closets not just incorrectly but really early?), but they’re still fun.

Today we got two “Freebie” items, which we’d last seen in the recent colossal sneak peek at upcoming mini award items. Behold:

I don’t really know how or why these magically appeared in my closet (like many others, I haven’t played either Shuffle Bump or Dice Derby in months), but I’m definitely not going to be a Puck Head and complain!

We know there are many more of these items, so where are they now and how are the rest going to be awarded? Only time (and Pogo) will tell!
