I actually saved my coke points to get one, and when I went to use it with my 4 kids, they said it was fraudulent, even when I said I could prove that I got it from coke they said they wouldn't take it. My kids and I were VERY disappointed!!!

I just called my local brunswick and told them about the coupon and they told me to go ahead and bring it in….I figure it can’t hurt to try. If they end up not accepting it, I can always use one from their website, but the lady on the phone said they would accept it, so hopefully it will work. Thanks!

I just called my local Brunswick center and they no longer accept these coupons. They said it was because they were originally issued through my coke rewards and then everyone started duplicating them and so they were issued a company wide bulletin to no longer accept them. I thought this would be a great coupon to use and maybe some of you got away with it, but I just thought I’d let you all know that it can no longer be used.

I tried to use this yesterday, after using ones that were sent to me from the actual brunswick website.
They no longer accept this coupon as of January 1st, 2009.

No offense, Lisa, but if you really worked for Brunswick, then I’d expect you to have a Brunswick e-mail account. In addition, this is not illegal nor fraudulent. What’s the crime? Posting a link to an expired coupon that can no longer be used?

Saying that a dishonest person had to ruin it for everybody is a huge misstatement. It is not the general public’s fault that Brunswick failed to provide any sort of measure to limit the ways the coupons could be redeemed. Providing unique bar codes for each coupon would have been the easiest method in my opinion, but I’m sure there are other ways as well.

I just tried to use the coupon, and they said that they do not accept this anymore. Not that it’s a fraud or anything, but corporate sent something out saying that they can no longer accept this effective November 1, 2008. Oh well. Was looking forward to using it…

I am the Sales Director at one of the Brunswick locations in Atlanta. This is illegal. This is a fraudlent coupon. Brunswick no longer accepts this coupon. Yes it originally was part of the MyCoke rewards program, but some dishonest person had to ruin it for all. Don’t try to redeem this coupon as we will not accept it.

As an employee I can tell you that we are not supposed to be accepting this coupon. Regardless of Coke’s issue with the coupon being copied, we have been told not to take the coupon any more. Some of you are lucky as we pride ourselves on great customer service and so our staffs are still taking the coupons.

Sara’s posting is correct. We have pulled out of the program for abuse such as this. The Bonus Zone is a great way to sign up for coupons barcoded just for you that will save you tons of money at our centers. Just go to bowlbrunswick.com and sign up your email address. We do not sell or share the information, we just send deep discounts for our services.

I hope that you will all sign up as you will all soon find that the coupon will no longer be accepted. Thanks for listening.

I have been signed up for these through the website for about a year and my children and I love it, I just received on for free bowling for my birthday!!! So I don’t think they are going away anytime soon,at least they haven’t in the last year…..

Goob, Thanks so much for posting this My fiance and I went tonight and bowled almost 7 games in our two hours! The guy at the counter was really nice about it (I’ve had people be less than nice about coupons like this in the past). When we got there we saw a banner hanging above the lanes that said that this offer is normally 59.99!! We had a blast and this is by far the best thing I’ve ever gotten from your site The offers that I’m really excited about tend to never make their way to me, but this was awesome!!! Thank you!

If you sign up to be on their e-mail list you will get tons of free coupons by e-mail throught the year. I just got one today for a Halloween party. We have gone and used the free bowling party coupons before, they are legit, and pretty nice to have free entertainment for the kiddos too!

I understand your point, Sara, but I also would say that Coke Rewards clearly knew this would happen. Every other coupon they offer has a unique bar code or even an ID string that once used, makes it no longer valid. If they mess up and don’t put one on these, especially after knowing what happened with the Blockbuster coupons, then I don’t think we should have to police ourselves to make up for their glaring lack of foresight.

This is very similar to a Blockbuster coupon from a few years ago, given out by Coke Rewards. The problems is that too many people use it and the company will no longer accept it, even from people who drank all that Coke and got it as a reward. I think it is dishonest to get this when you haven’t gotten it legitimately. I love free samples, etc, but this is blatant stealing. Abuse this and it will be ruined for everyone. If you really need to bowl for cheap just sign up at the Brunswick website and they will email you coupons. I only post this because I tried to use a legitimate Blockbuster coupon for 2 free rentals, cokes and popcorn and was told that because of fraud and misuse, they no longer took them from anyone. I lost out because of websites like this posting coupons they have no right to. It also happened with a Target coupon. Think about that before you post links like this. You are simply ruining it for future users and stealing from a company.
