Side note: You can only redeem each item in store ONCE. Meaning you can’t get two Mountain Zu codes on the same Mountain Dew account. You can also only redeem 2 rewards total when it comes to the final fantasy in game item options, and only 1 item out of the Final Fantasy vault that provides you an item you can actually use in person.
@@1cegrimYep, on the website listed under “program terms” just above the “tier values” list. Reads specifically as listed on website as: “Limit two (2) Game vault reward per account; only one (1) vault item per vault opening. Limit eight (8) rewards per program period between tier 1 - tier 6 [Cumulative]; only one (1) of a specific item allowed per program period. Limit of one (1) reward per day for tier 7.” Learned this the hard way when I bought an extra 6 bottles to get a company member who lived in Canada for a code. When I went to redeem it it said I had reached the redeem limit for the item, so I went to buy all 3 of the “5 metallic paint pot sets” instead, only to realize that it told me I had entered the rewards redemption limit after purchasing the second item.
Yeah I had to make another account to get one of the ratio figures. So far we’ve spent a total of 10k points. Going to save next month for the hoodie and call it a day.
@@1cegrim problem is, you still gotta get Mountain Dew irl to do that, and as far as i know we don't really have that in europe (at least in my country you can find it in very specific small stores maybe but i doubt it's the one with codes on too)
Getting real sick of this shit. Its not like any of the food or drinks that these collabs usually involve are america exclusive either. I had a friend in high school who lived and breathed this drink.
Certainly a lot better option than ambushing the local vagrants and searching their bags of recyclables for empty Mt. Dew bottles with the caps still on.
2500 bottle for the deck? if you take the base price of about €3 for a soda bottle, you're paying your deck €7500, so I hope people are just doing this passively and not actually buying drinks for the rewards
Divide that by 10 for normal drinks, the caps are worth 100 points not 10. 25,000/100 = 250 or €750 by your calculations. Still a lot. I would suggest tracking down the store exclusive drinks cause they’re worth twice as much meaning you’ll need half as many so instead of 250 you’ll need 125, which is still entirely too much and would cost about $330 total. Which I should point out if you’re measuring in Euros you can’t participate anyways as it’s a US-based promotion.

@@ugxsan No one I live with drinks soda, and I'm not going to go out of my way to gift opened bottles of Mountain Dew when I see friends. Way too much to bother with for a glowing virtual bird I'll barely even use, even if I do want it due to FOMO.

as a note, alot of the physical rewards are bait. most of them can be bought for around the same price or less. the stream deck, should you go for it, is 25000 points. if i mathed right thats around 125 bottles of the 200 point dew...which is around 250 dollars...you can buy the deck itself for like 150... or 125 on sale at the time of this post. so the only worth wile items are the ones you cant right out buy. (obviously this doenst factor in peopel who get caps from friendes/workers/the trash/etc and dont spend money on some/all of the caps they get.
If buying 2x points flavor look for yellow caps. I had frost bite that even said 2x points on the label but the white cap only gave me 100 points. All purple thunder with yellow caps have been 200 points so far. Gas stations carry some of special flavors. Dollar general Maui flavors still have old stock in local stores with no gaming points on the labels.
600 points for the mount. Welp. I don't really drink soda. Maybe I can give them to my brother. I could probably manage to drink one of them just to try it but there's no way I'm drinking 3-6 bottles of mountain dew.
I really wish you didn't have to open the cap. I'd like to give them away too but I feel sus giving people soda with the seal broken. I wish it was like the butterfinger event where you just had to upload a pic of your receipt.
Unfortunately it's not 100 percent guaranteed the exclusive flavors bottle are going to be there. I learned that when I went to a couple walmarts around my area and they just didn't have it. Sure they had the frost bite flavor but it was in 16 fl oz packs of 4 instead of the gaming 20 oz bottles. I ended up having to buy the max 6 bottles instead of 3. Also learned from reddit the exclusive flavors need to have a yellow cap on it or you risk just getting 100 points.
no see a person from Walm Spoke about thsi as did a Dollar gen person, THEY DO have the Mtdew Gaming bottle, in the BACK, but they will NOT place them in the coolers, until the Reg 20oz vertion bottles are SOLD OUT, as there is no point and no incentive(Mtdew dos NOT have a contract with these store to PUSH the store flavors that have the gaming label JUST the flavor) So when folks go out and clean out coolers of JUST the code reds, and noral 100 Point flavors that tells the store those FLAVORS are the ones the should be restoked NOT the new labled 200 point flavors, these RUDE grabny ahnded people are screwing the rest of us
been waiting a hot minute for mine to pop up in my email. How long did any of you had to wait for the codes? Do they email these out to you, or do they mail it to your actual mailbox?
whats screwed up is these 20 ozs are ONLY in the coolers NEver on the shelves and if folks only buy the Reg 100 point flavors thats ALL theywill restock as there is no reson to put onut the new flavors(200 points) becuase noone is cleaning out the old non gamiong labeled ones of those
My biggest question is how exactly does redeeming the item and it getting into your Characters inventory work? Is the system automated or does it ask you for specifics?
I should have done my research b/c I literally saw the dollar general mtn dew flavor, but chose the 100pnt flavors instead. We definitely need to grab this mount before the prize points end otherwise you'll have to buy the code overpriced from ppl.
I already bought my bottles this weekend for the Mount. And yes I will be pouring them out. Mt Dew is so bad for you I really don’t consider it wasteful as I wouldn’t actually give it to anyone in good conscience. Also I’m type 1 diabetic so it’s literally poison to me. Thank you for attending my TEDTalk
Important to note, it only applies to the 20 oz bottles. Packs of bottles, either 6 pack or 12 pack, are 16 oz bottles and are NOT eligible for the promotion.
Love the video, very informative, but I just can't find the answer to how to link your ff account to the mountain dew site to get rewards or is that not how it's done? Or, subsequently, do you need to wait until the release to do that at all?
You won't ever end up linking your FF14 account with MTN Dew. Instead, you'll use the points to redeem a mount code that you'll end up putting into mogstation once early access starts
Rather just buy Bennu on the mogstation. Same exact mount, just orange, and probably would cost you around the same considering the amount of points required for the mount (assuming you're getting just the 100pt mtn dew bottles). This mtn dew collab is the same as buying stuff on mogstation, just with extra steps and 'exclusivity' if that means anything to you
You're right about this just being elaborate mogstation purchases. The Bennu mount also has the bonus of being account-wide (I think the Zu is character locked). In the end I think people will just be interested in this thing for the "exclusivity", but I agree that this feels a bit sketchy
The 6-packs and 12-packs all have 16 oz bottles, which aren't the right size. Unless the pack has the 20 oz bottles with "MTN DEW GAMING REWARDS" on the label, you're unfortunately going to have to buy individual bottles.
Will the mount codes expire at all after the expansion release? I'm a free trail player and didn't know I couldn't redeem it without paying for the game and I'm not ready to commit.
I'm not sure if the codes will expire per se, but they're closing all digital reward redemptions on July 15th, so the codes will be functionally invalid after that point
didn't see or hear anything about the code expiring, and i watched the live as it was happening. my best guess is, get the points, redeem them, get your mount code, and I'm guessing the email with the code will say if it expires or not.
The cap codes will be usable until the end of the year but final fantasy rewards will end on the 15th. You can't even use the mount code until early access so as long as you nab the item code and have it in your email you should be fine. So just get some sodas, redeem for the mount while you can, then don't lose the code.
Hey, heads up: double point bottles may not be a guaranteed 200 points: I redeemed one, and only got 100 instead. Gonna email customer service to see what’s going on.
Question: I live in Europe, but will be on vacation in the US shortly before dawn trail launches. Could I get any of the in-game rewards for my European character?
the stream deck is cool and all but counting it up its like 300$ in soda... IF you just get the specialty drinks... the deck itself is like 130$... 3d print that looks identical is like 2$... do the math :P (note: its probably more but i mathed it at about 2.50 a bottle or so, may end up being a lot more... still not worth.
@@Disapointedmellencol how do you wanna know? We cant register the Mogststion Codes yet. The Butterfinger Event was also US only but the Code itself was Regionfree and i even got the Black Parade Chocobo from the JP Exclusive Event on my EU Account. So there is a Chance thst this Code is also Regionfree.
It’s just associated with Xbox since everything before they included ff14 was Xbox things, basically u make an account, enter codes, redeem rewards. Physical items will be mailed to the address u provided and digital items will email u a code to use on the mogstation when u hit redeem, so no, the codes aren’t exclusive to just Xbox. Just be warned, u can’t use the codes they email u till the start of early access on June 28th, I didn’t read and had a panic attack when it said it was invalid
What precisely is the deal with the codes? You're making it sound like it is on the Mountain Dew website, but is the Dew code just a code for Mogstation? Clarification would be helpful.
I'm in canada, is it possible for someone i know in the US to redeem the points, get a code and give me the code for me to redeem on june 28th? I'm guessing the ff14 claim site won't have geo locked issue?
Despite the Xbox website branding, this collab is available to all NA accounts. Redeeming the points off the collab site gives you a Mogstation code that works regardless of the platform you play on
@1cegrim True, though in the long run, I don't want it to be thrown back in my face when I see friends and family who waste their money on things they quickly replace with something else.
Dood it sucks i play in NA servers and live in mexico and can't acces the mt dew website to put cap codes ima have to make a trip to usa and waste bunch of drinks just to get mount and maybe something else.
I have diabetes now, but atleast I have a sick new mount! I'm just kidding. I was near diabetic at one point, but have been watching how much sugar and such I consume.
It's more expensive to exchange the caps for prizes on all the physical goods. If you drink the soda normally it might end up worth it, but otherwise you'd save moeny just buying those prizes outright
@@1cegrim I'm fine with a reskin, if it had been a Lanner with a cool visual effect or a reskinned Firebird I would have been a lot more inclined to participate.
@@1cegrim Actually, you can't redeem the code in the mogstation until june 28th. You can get the code from mountain dew it's just going to say invalid code until then

No mention of how many points the in game rewards cost??? C'mon, that was the most important thing!
The mount costs 600, all the rest are on the website!
@@1cegrim Thank you!
How many points do you think the mount is gonna be? 1000? 10,000? Or... more...?
its 600 points for the mount
What did you think we were doing when we popped Lucid Dewing? 😂
I can't be the only one who has redeemed the mount but still haven't received my code yet to my email
It might be due to the volume of requests. Hopefully you don't have to wait too long
How many times one can exchange points for the mount code? Was thinking to ask an American friend to get the code for me
I'd assume once, but making a second MTN Dew account shouldn't be too much trouble
bought 6 and poured them all out shit is poison for your body i just want the mount lol
Respectable
Question: I live in Europe, but will be on vacation in the US shortly before dawn trail launches. Could I get any of the in-game rewards for my European character?
Unfortunately the codes are locked to NA service accounts and can't be applied to characters/accounts in other regions
@@1cegrimdo we know this for sure?
@@cutecats532 yeah, the terms of the collab state that the codes only work with NA service accounts
i just got mine waiting till june 28
Good luck!
What sucks is alot of the 20 oz bottles is $2.50 or $3 in my area. Not cost effective when i can hit my supermarket and get 3 2ltr for $6
Yeah, not the most cost-efficient event to be honest
the stream deck is cool and all but counting it up its like 300$ in soda... IF you just get the specialty drinks... the deck itself is like 130$... 3d print that looks identical is like 2$... do the math :P (note: its probably more but i mathed it at about 2.50 a bottle or so, may end up being a lot more... still not worth.
Oh yeah all of the physical rewards are a scam lmao
I got my soda bird. I love him and will kill moon gods to protect him
I bought mtn dew spark and got 200 points for each bottle even though the website said it was only worth 100 points
Hey, we take these Ws lol
Buy bottles. Get points. Pour that crap in the drain!
To the point thanks!
good informative video! Thank you for sharing!
Some of us will have trouble with that DPS(Dew per Sip) check
Can't even log in or create a new account on the Mtn Dew site. Sad.
The site's been super buggy the past couple of days (especially in Canada for some reason), hopefully they get this ironed out soon
1. If I have a friend in NA and He give me the mount code, can I use it on my EU account?
2. Is it only works if you have ffxiv xbox game purchased?
no its for all of NA and its region locked
@@Disapointedmellencol how do you wanna know? We cant register the Mogststion Codes yet. The Butterfinger Event was also US only but the Code itself was Regionfree and i even got the Black Parade Chocobo from the JP Exclusive Event on my EU Account. So there is a Chance thst this Code is also Regionfree.
stupid question, but this is good for PC yea? the Xbox part is throwing me off lol
Yup, PC users shouldn't have any issues. Despite the branding PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players can participate in the collab
It’s just associated with Xbox since everything before they included ff14 was Xbox things, basically u make an account, enter codes, redeem rewards. Physical items will be mailed to the address u provided and digital items will email u a code to use on the mogstation when u hit redeem, so no, the codes aren’t exclusive to just Xbox.
Just be warned, u can’t use the codes they email u till the start of early access on June 28th, I didn’t read and had a panic attack when it said it was invalid
What precisely is the deal with the codes? You're making it sound like it is on the Mountain Dew website, but is the Dew code just a code for Mogstation? Clarification would be helpful.
The cap code is input on the MTN Dew website. Once you redeem enough codes you can exchange the MTN Dew points for a Mogstation code
@@1cegrim Gotcha, thank you for the clarification
Thanks
Thank you
*chugging already 6 regular mountain dews*
Oh so that's how people get so much points so quickly
Chugging 6 MTN Dew sounds so painful lmao
@@1cegrim 💀 Drinking it was fine, the aftereffects were not fine-
@@lilblkrose Bro's gonna need a raise after that one
cries in not freedom land
"freedom" lol
I'm in canada, is it possible for someone i know in the US to redeem the points, get a code and give me the code for me to redeem on june 28th? I'm guessing the ff14 claim site won't have geo locked issue?
That should work, and if the MTN Dew site is bugged, they should be able to just give you the Mogstation code for you to redeem
I’m definitely pouring all the soda out fam. I drink w a t e r only.
Based
forreal, "please don't be wasteful with the toxic sludge with literally only negative nutritional value"
Tbf mtn dew is p nasty
@@SemekiIzuio it's actually so bad
@1:24 Maui blurst
Guide for a Canadian. Step 1: Make a friend in the USA step 2, get a code from them, step 3 avoid diabetes.
You don't get diabetes from diet/zero sugar.
So step 1: wait a little over a month and then get the mountain dew required for the rewards lol
Pretty much lol
I'm gonna pour out so much soda
I don’t know if it’s just me but spark keeps giving me 200 points
We take these Ws 😎
So wait. Is this only exclusive to Xbox players? I assume Playstation and PC players won’t have access to it?
Despite the Xbox website branding, this collab is available to all NA accounts. Redeeming the points off the collab site gives you a Mogstation code that works regardless of the platform you play on
@@1cegrimah, cool! Thanks for the heads up!
@@muffetmissulena6540 glad I could help!
I deadass live 100 feet from a dollar general lmao... alright its a tad bit more than that probably but its a very short walk, less than 2 minutes
Nice! Saves you time and money!
@@1cegrim oh for sure and they've been stocking that tropical shit since like early last year
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi I've got a Dollar General within close driving distance maybe I just stock up and call it a day 🤔
I can't even look at a carbonated beverage without feeling my innards inflating like a balloon. Shame I won't be able to get in on this.
You can always just buy the soda and pour it out lol, it's certainly healthier than drinking it
@1cegrim True, though in the long run, I don't want it to be thrown back in my face when I see friends and family who waste their money on things they quickly replace with something else.
@@Zavitor Oof, that's a tough one
Sorry, no one in my family drinks soda, pouring that shit down the drain lol
Nah, that's fair, MTN Dew tastes bad anyways lol
Dood it sucks i play in NA servers and live in mexico and can't acces the mt dew website to put cap codes ima have to make a trip to usa and waste bunch of drinks just to get mount and maybe something else.
The more I hear about how this event is being handled in non-USA regions of NA the more I'm convinced this whole thing was a massive mistake smh
Try using VPN thats how you bypass region lock sites
Thank the 12 my hubby likes to drink that nasty stuff otherwise I would be pouring it out xD
We all have our heroes lol
I have diabetes now, but atleast I have a sick new mount!
I'm just kidding. I was near diabetic at one point, but have been watching how much sugar and such I consume.
At least the mount is like the cheapest thing on there.
Question becomes prices for prizes
It's more expensive to exchange the caps for prizes on all the physical goods. If you drink the soda normally it might end up worth it, but otherwise you'd save moeny just buying those prizes outright
How many points does it take for the mount and emote?
The mount is 600 points (3-6 caps), and unfortunately there isn't an emote
Yeah i don't need the mount that badly to give a company like Pepsi money
Fair tbh
max codes per day is 15(caps) ......i feel bad for people that are hoarding them for last min
Damn, rip
Huh, 3 to 6 bottles of Mountain Dew for a mount that is honestly kind of ugly. I like Mountain Dew and I still think I'll sit this promotion out.
Can I use your cap codes then? 😉
I'm pretty sure it's a reskin too...
@@1cegrim I'm fine with a reskin, if it had been a Lanner with a cool visual effect or a reskinned Firebird I would have been a lot more inclined to participate.
@@nekodachi- I rarely drink soda anymore, so it's unlikely I'll buy even a single bottle during the promotion period.
@@conduit64 I think this model could've been fine with a cool visual effect like the lanners, just "green glow" isn't a great sell
Not true u can redeem now for the points and for the rewards
Thanks for the clarification, I'll make a pinned post with addendums
@@1cegrim Actually, you can't redeem the code in the mogstation until june 28th. You can get the code from mountain dew it's just going to say invalid code until then
you can't redeem the code in the mogstation until june 28th. Yes you get the code from mountain dew website but when you try to input it is going to say invalid code until then
@@SkyYuyo see, that's what I thought I had read originally
I bought code red like an idiot!
Code red should still work if the label has the Xbox gaming rewards tag on it!
So the UK playerbase is fucked, gotcha 💀👍
Just the usual Square Enix BS : /
Not just SE, everyone forgets the UK exists
@@yurngo1109 Rip 😞
Dang the only thing that seemed interesting to me was the fat cat hoodie. But if any corpo thinks I'm gonna buy *200* bottles of their slop their actually braindead
You'd save money buying it off eBay anyways, everything besides the mount and dyes is a scam
TOO BAD THE DIGITAL MOUNT FOR FFXIV "SOLD OUT" ON THE DAY BEFORE THE LAST DAY
No shot they sold out of a digital product again
Is this exclusive to Xbox?
Nope, works on PC and PlayStation too!
@@1cegrim Awesome! Thank you for your help and info! 👏

Nice. I live in between 4 Dollar Stores. Now I just need to find somebody who wants to get severe diabetes.
