As a guy who has had to write a system that generates codes that users have to type in themselves... there is no good system for that. Any smallish size code that can be typed by any random joe of the street, anonymously, is going to have some problems. Additionally, this was printed on cans, so it had to be worked out with whatever the tech was that printed the cans.

So, while it sucks, I can totally understand why it was done the way it was done.

All that said, plenty could have been done to stop mass redemption of codes. A redemption limit of even 1 per day or so would have gone a long way.
