Pepsi Dumps iTunes
For the past couple years, Pepsi had a promotion with Apple’s iTunes to win free music during the SuperBowl timeframe. Specially marked Pepsi product bottles could contain a code for one free song. The odds of winning were about 1 in 3 unless you altered the odds in your favor.
Anyways, Pepsi has dumped iTunes and is having a promotion with Amazon instead. Amazon is becoming a major music player, distributing music in unprotected MP3 format for all major music labels (soon enough though, you know all the music labels will hate on Amazon). With the new promo, each bottle will give you points to redeem for music, videos, electronics, and physical CDs from Amazon. Not a bad deal with five bottles equaling one free song, but…
This would be worth about seven songs instead of 37 songs.

Five caps for one song? I guess it might even out to one-in-three, but it just feels like a lesser deal. I’m not sure if I want to bother typing in five codes for a $0.99 value.
