GoDaddy.com Credit: $70 Credit for $25 or $30 Credit for $10

Quote from ShatterGhost : I didn't contact them and I received an email that said they are refunding the single 10 groupon that Godaddy reversed on my account. I was just going to eat that loss since I had redeemed several before they changed the fine print on the website and on the groupons. So it looks like they are going to refund any groupons that godaddy reversed/denied which were put into the godaddy system after January 1st. when the fine print changed.

Ah, thanks for the info.

Too bad GD didn't reverse the $2.45 I still have on my third one...

Quote from phonic : Did the people getting refund emails try and contact Groupon, or was the notification/refund automatic?

Mine was automatic.. I didn't even know there was an issue until I saw a "Your refund has been processed" email from Groupon.

Now none of the godaddy coupons work with instore credit

I got a full refund on the $130 of credits that godaddy cancelled. I did not request it, but groupon gave it anyway.

Had $10 left in credits which I just now was able to use on 2 years of SSL certs - coupon worked. PETE499SSL seems fine with the credit.

I imagine coupons will still work with any high margin items (SSL certs, hosting packages, etc.). They seem to only prohibit them on low-margin or below-cost things like domain registration/renewals.

i have 4 left. damn

Domain renewals/transfers were later disallowed with these coupons?

Is there any way to find link the coupon with the groupon acct?

Is there any way to see the deal referrals from one groupon acct to another? (In other words if you refered this deal to your friend, can you see when and what the referral emal was in your current/main groupon acct?)

Is there any history of godaddy taking back or reversing groupon transactions like renewals with vouchers already redeemed before the terms were changed on Jan 1st.
thanks!

To get around godaddy's "one per account" policy, just create a new godaddy account for each "extra" groupon coupon you bought, then transfer a few domains from your primary account over to each new account (easy instant process).

Then, log into each new account and apply each groupon once in each account (assuming you haven't tried to apply them already [to an account where you already used a groupon], which might have flagged those numbers).

I just did this and used a few $70 groupons that I had purchased (but not yet entered)... And they worked fine on domain renewals, which is all I used them for. I plan to transfer the domains back to my primary account in the near future...

So if I have 5 coupons that I want to use for domain renewals now, what can I do? I don't think I can transfer these domains out since I just transferred them 20 days ago. Can I buy gift cards with another account?

It's not a real transfer, which is between different registrars. You just want to perform an account change [godaddy.com] to get around the one Groupon per account limit.

Wow, with that kid aaron swartz death and godaddy's collusion in retraining the free flow of the internet, I guess there are plenty of reason to find godaddy just abhorrent and despicable.

Is it hard to transfer your domains once you have renewed them for a long time to another company?

How does GoDaddy have anything to do with the death of Aaron Swartz? Your comment makes no sense. If you want to blame anyone, how about the US Government, specifically the USAO. Or MIT. Or JSTOR.

Let me guess - you blame Bob Parsons for the Somalian pirates who hijack ships too. I mean, he did go to Africa, and Somalia is in Africa, so he's obviously connected somehow...

But to answer your actual question, it's trivial to transfer domains from GoDaddy. New domains have a waiting period (2-3 months IIRC), and if you modified some piece of the contact information they make you wait a period of time too. As long as neither of these applies, then you can do it quickly.

thanks for your help,
I actually didnt know any of this till I saw it on this thread first but see this:
http://godaddyboycott.org/

plus when I lost my grad funding and my friends had graduated I had to pay $2,621.87 in journal subscriptions and fees to JSTOR because my small town library cant afford interlibrary loan or journal subscriptions. Those fees were not a SD and if all this kid wanted to do was liberate the library journals then go daddy is def on my sh=t list thats for sure.
