Got mine as well. Thanks, google

I see the same offer... but when I click on it I am getting "Oops. There was an error. There was a problem processing your request. You are welcome to stay awhile, but if you have better things to do, check back in a bit. "

Edit: Looks like it now says "No longer available" :(

Didn't you read the post? It's in your email. L2R

Just received an email from Google:

Now, what should I spend my unexpected stocking stuffer on?

Nice. Now I wish I had tried for this and failed. I didn't even try since I don't shop at Newegg often.

If anyone has an extra one I could trade for VS secret reward card. Please inbox me! : )

yeah, sorry, it's not for everyone, that's why i wrote check your email and YMMV. i just want to give people a heads up in case it goes to spam, etc.

Got one yay!

I think the OP is referring to an email some people got that appologizing that they were unable to purchase the Newegg.com Google Offer, and offering $20 free to Newegg:

"We noticed that you tried to purchase the Newegg.com Google Offer multiple times last Monday and a server error prohibited you from buying the deal.

We feel terribly that you had this experience. So, we are in touch to give you a $20 credit to Newegg.com as a gift. You will not be charged for this."

Got mine! Now what to buy? hmmmm

Someone beat you by two minutes: http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...?t=3666152

Glad searched before posting ! I got this too. Lucky me.

There were four threads posted within one minute of each other. Wonder how many more will we see. :D

how sweet it is. Got 4 of them. :lmao:

Same :)

Thumps up for thumps down!

got one yayayyy

Google just offer me $20 newegg.com credit
 

for those who try to get the 20 off 40 but did not get it, google might email you $20 credit just got mine....

It was in my gmail account.

Also to use this credit there is a FAR samsung Bluetooth headset for $20, so you can use this credit to buy that and then apply for rebate so your get your money back and a free Bluetooth headset....

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6875982357

repost of repost of repost...............................

thank you

how is this fair to those who actually bought it for $20?

Sorry for repost, but it wasn't there when I posted...

and I have never been this happy to get rejected before, so I just wanted people to make sure to check their mail!

:crying2:

I wish I tried to get one.

Same here :( I'm kinda bummed I got through....lol

Seriously...trying not to be a hater right now :lol:

too funny! there were at least 4 threads on this posted at the same time lol

hope i get one. Man I coulda sworn I bought one and hopefully I completed the full transactions that never went through so I can get this free $20.

I mean...if they had another batch for those who didn't get the deal due to system errors. but really? for FREE?

Same here.
I got rejected twice with two google acounts and get two free codes.
Guess I should be double happy.:bounce::bounce:

Sometimes you have to buy back people if you give them a terrible experience. Amazon did something similar for the Nook deal on Black Friday last year.

I just got the email from Google Offers about the $20 credit to Newegg.com!

on the day of the deal, I added the deal to my cart and then did not checkout as i changed my mind. i still got free 20 bucks credit. this is NICE.

True. but obviously they're going to lose some of the customers who actually bought the deal as well right?

I got it too! Free 20 bucks. Wohoo, Thank you Google!

Got mine!

Funny part is, I did the same thing. I couldn't do it with my account and thought it was tied to my account specifically... so I used my wife's Google account to try and buy, too. So, now she also got an email with $20 code. Lucky :woot:

google is all about the customer. they will eat a few bucks to make sure everyone is happy. those people who got this email actually were willing to pay for it but couldn't. I can see their frustration. I refreshed my page every 10 seconds for 15 minutes to finally get it to go through. If it never did I'd have been frustrated and never wanted to use google offeres again.

no, those are the people who bought 2+ anyway.

I bought 2 vouchers and got this free $20 credit :lmao:

wish this had happened to me...i have to spend 40

and for those who actually bought only one? now your just generalizing that everyone who actually got the deal got more than 1. There's non-greedy people in the world too you know

That's a true statement. When I couldn't get the deal due to the system error, that was my first time trying out Google Offers.

I complaint to my friends about how bad Google Offers was, and how it couldn't even handle the traffic. I was never going to use their service again.

Now with this, I'm incline to be more forgiving and is willing to go back.

Wonder if this'll stack?

Yeah, same here. I'm confused as to how I ended up with this free consolation credit.
I don't recall checking out and didn't even fully register by adding my credit card info.
I was logged into my Gmail account though.

What is the title of the email?

agreed exactly.

$20 credit to Newegg.com from Google Offers

i think the server crash was before CC entry. not positive though.

Just received mine as well.

Thanks Google!

crazy i feel sad that i bought..

should have stopped after some trials

On the phone with google offers support right now, the CSR is claiming that everyone here is lying and forged the emails, and that nothing other than the original 50k available were sent out.

Definitely did not expect to be blatantly lied to by Google, it's one thing if they can't find a record due to the server screwups and can't do anything for me, but this is an Office Depot level screwup with their CSR.

Time to cross google offers off as one of those sites to ever use, heh.

ETA: Can anyone post some screencaps of the email w/ your codes etc censored? Thanks.

angry that I bought one...oh well, thus is life.

wow I got through 25 times but I think I bailed on another couple of accts where I couldn't get an order thorugh...but didn't get an email from them with the free $20. Maybe they saw that I ordered all those times with the same IP....that's cool and google continues to amaze me how they do things right so often.

Why are you calling their CSR?

Not email for me. :( I couldn't try to get one because the offer was gone when I got to it.

i never got either... even though i was one who tried originally..... boo hoo to me... i am going to cry in my cheerios..... but seriously.. it sucks.

Probably you will get 1 more $20 coupon(total 40) for this error.

you just screwed all these people. FIRST RULE OF SLICKDEALS....DONT CALL.

Wow, I'm glad Google came through, but I feel a bit cheated considering that I braved through all of the server issues and finally managed to snag the deal. I would have rather received $20 credit for free rather than pay for $40 worth :/

perhaps there is confusion that this is not another "google offer" - it's just an apology email with a coupon code. maybe not all CSRs are tracking it.

I just checked my mail and I got one, thanks for the heads up

Very classy move by Google, it upset me that i coudlnt purchase the deal becuase of the technical issues, but i just chalked it up to too much traffic.

thanks Goog!!

Bummed that I actually put the $20 up front on this :(

So you call google to cry like a b**** that you didn't get a free credit that google is in no way obligated to give you. Then you say you'll never use them again because you got left out. Now you're b****ing to slickdeals. I literally LOL'd in my office. The squeaky wheel doesn't get the grease, it just keeps on squeaking.

No. One. Cares.

wth? why are you calling?

You're an idiot, but I'm sure I'm not the first one to tell you this.

You don't call to check for stock or to make sure a deal is legit, if you're supposed to be getting something and aren't, you call. There is no way for anyone to 'get in on this deal' that would be getting screwed over, it's an automated process.

I received the email from Google and I also bought one using another Google account. I wonder if I can combine these offers?

Agree. Can we return the $40?

LOL...from the looks of Page 1, it seems like they don't have the search feature bug fixed yet.

My domain is on Google Apps, and I couldn't get this offer with that email address. I did manage to create a couple of other Google accounts and cash in, and still got this email at my original, Google Apps email. Throwing a bone to all of us who have Google Apps but can't use so many other Google features...

:locked2::censored::headbang::headbang:Me 2

you can get a refund if you want to cancel your order

"You're supposed to be getting something and aren't"?
Who the hell do you think you are? They certainly don't 'owe' you 20$.
Unbelievable. I'm glad that you're one of the unlucky ones.

Got one. Google is great!

Eh, I'm not upset that I'm not getting the credit, I'm upset that the CSR decided to lie to me and say that everyone who's claiming to have gotten it is lying and forged emails as their 'proof'.
Telling me "Hey, we can't find a record of your attempt, so we won't be able to send this to you, sorry." would have been fine, I just don't appreciate it when a company thinks it's acceptable to piss on my head and tell me it's raining.

Dammit, I tried to get one, but my CC declined for whatever reason.

I went back & forth like 3 times with Google Offers and on the third try I get a "sorry, sold out" message.

Still nothing for me.

I actually paid for the deal.. damn my eagerness :(

Well, it isnt a public thing. They sent personal emails, they didnt do this for everyone to know.

No email here :\

People are getting too self-entitled these days. You missed the deal and hear that SOME people are getting $20 as compensation, so you decide to EXPECT that compensation as well. If Google doesn't give you $20 for free, you become upset at Google and vow to never use them again. If I were Google, I wouldn't want you as a customer.

So you actually got yours? I got a confirmation email saying I would receive some code a couple days later but still haven't received it

So you actually got yours? I got a confirmation email saying I would receive some code a couple days later but still haven't received it.

this thread is like a modern day re-telling of the parable of the workers in the vineyard [wikipedia.org]. :lol:

boss: will you work for 8 hours for $1000?
worker 1: abso-fricking-lutely!
boss: ok, who will work 4 hours for $1000?
worker 2: me!
worker 1: wtf?

I'm OK with not getting this...so long as they offer the $20 for $40 again! :drool:

I'm unsubscribing from Google Offers after I type this.

Aww, I didn't get the free $20 Newegg credit but they did allow me to stack 4 in one order so I'm fine with that.

Wow..kind of BS if you ask me. Its good that Google did this but at the same time you just got something for nothing and in this digital age when servers crash and your trying to purchase a "hot" item your SOL.

amazing!

Google is just trying to save face. It was their launch. For a lot of people, it was their first time using the Google Offers service.

First time impression means everything.

There was no way I was going to use Google Offers again any time soon. To me it just couldn't even handle the traffic = bad service.

Now, I accept their $20 apology and I'll over look what happened the first time. They didn't have to do it, but they did it to make people who had a bad first impression to be happy again.

Just good business.

Got mine! Woot

Damn. Now newegg's prices are going to be inflated from this

I'm glad yall are getting it, although it kind of sucks that those who got it had to pay for what you get for free. Oh well :)

Google Offers got class! :woot:

They need to give at least $10 credit for those who spend 10 minutes to get on the deal >_<. Google Offers is worse than Living Social.

What an unexpected surprise.

I was trying to buy the deal in Firefox on one account, but I kept getting timed out. I moved to another browser and eventually bought the deal, but I was already logged into a different account when I opened up the offer, so I decided not to bother logging back in and back out.

The other account that tried to order the deal at first just got the free credit, so yay! That was really nice of Google. :)

how about a pic of you wearing a VS lingerie instead??? :drool:

Ever head the saying "Cut off your nose to spite your face" it is unfortunate for all the people here who didn't get $20 credits but for GOODNESS SAKE!!!

My fav is the guy who posted he won't use google ever again.... if by that you mean until you log back onto the internet to check your FREE Gmail, use Googles FREE search engine, use Googles FREE shopping comparison tool, maybe connect with friends/associates on Googles FREE Google+ social network...

At the END OF THE DAY "EVERYONE" who uses the internet gets something FREE from Google...

If you are going to boycott Google you should prolly toss your phone, computer, tablet, etc into a fire pit...

huh? how is he screwing anyone? Google apparently sent these certificates out as a apology. it's not like everyone was using some loophole to to get a free $20 to Newegg.
Great recall of the rules, but your application is a bit off here.

kinda wish I hadn't gotten through on the deal myself. $20 free without having to spend $20? nice.

"And to further ease any lasting mental anguish, we are offering to purchase your $20 credit for $40. Also, here's a warm bottle."

they cancel orders that are stacked

So wait, I'm now supposed to be pissed off that I got in and got a $40 gift card for $20? OK, I'll jump in...

Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!

Read the thread. I'm not pissed that I'm not getting $20, I'm pissed that their CSR lied to me, claimed that no such emails were ever sent, and that anyone who says otherwise forged them, made it up, etc.

Yes, because google accidentally sent these out, and now all the google employees are going to take them for themselves and sell them on craigslist for 30 dollars.

Seems like a $20 off $40 coupon would have made more sense.

$20 for free is just crazy. I'm jealous.

dang..i got 4 codes so far. i have 6 accounts signed up on offers, but attempted only only once on one account. hope they send the other two. <greedy> :-)

so you get paid $1 per minute? if you made $60/hr at work you prob wouldn't be on SD :lmao:

The guy trying to boycott is ridiculous of course. But apparently you don`t really understand google`s business concept. They give nothing away for free. Everytime you use it, it is at the expense of your privacy. If you consider you`re privacy to be worth nothing, then of course you can also consider their services to be free too :D
Btw: I`m using all of the services you mentioned except for Google+

Haha....I got 3 of the 20-for-40 deals AND I just got this one.


Shweet!!!

The reason I got this one is because I tried to buy the newegg deal with my student email account (which is a form of google account). When I tried to purchase it said Google Offers isn't available for my account type. So I just ordered with my other 3 accounts.

I go to check my student email and the 20 credit email is there. Thank You Google.

i'm jealous! no 20for40 or 20 for me

It's 10 minutes of frustration with the server crashes. It's like spending 10 minutes with people who does not understand or speak any English.

:lol2: that's what a lot of people have to go through at work

Reading comprehension is your friend here, firstnamefirstname. I'm not boycotting google, I just won't use /google offers/ again, because their CSR felt that lies and stories he just pulled out of his ass were better than telling me "I don't know, sorry".

But hey, don't let the truth get in your way of your little speech there, maybe you should see if GO or Office Depot is hiring, you're the perfect candidate.

nice move by google, wish i hadn't missed the whole thing

same! but still I am nearly 100% likely to buy something over $40 anyway, so either way good to see other people get in a deal.

haha, what a hater

I tried to get it, even still have the order which got canceled, but no $20 :(

Is there a way to complain to google and get them to send me it?

same here.no luck.had tried 2 emails

I got this too! Much <3 for Google!

Really? It will be a sad day when they actually stop deals like this because of greedy idiots who tried to get 6 different codes and stuff.

I mean why stop at getting 6 codes. Start demanding free merchandise everywhere.

You either got in on the deal or not. There will always be an issue when trying to purchase a great value like that. It's like trying to be first in line at Best Buy during black Friday.

No one is entitled to anything.

Cuz people who make a lot of money don't want to save money. 120 grand a year isn't so much that you don't want to find good deals :p

Same here.

Order Status:

•Nov 28 Google has cancelled your order. You won't be charged.
Reason: Other (describe below)
Comments from Google: "Offer could not be purchased."

•Nov 28 Google Offers received your order.

•Nov 28 You placed an order with Google Offers on Nov 28. Google Checkout sent a
copy of this receipt to XXXXXX

If you click where it says "Click Here to Redeem Your Purchase", you'll get the following message:

Whoops! It seems that this offer has already been redeemed, refunded or canceled.
If you think this is an error, please visit our Help Center and we will get it sorted out.

Pessimistic, angry, and quite bitter sounding......but, nonetheless true. :nod:

do the codes stack?

I make 130k a year but I do love using slickdeals :)

repped :)

maybe that CSR truly doesn't know? Google probably were not expecting anyone calling and questioning about such a surprising act of generosity.

it'd be nice if our complaints here are all constructive, but most of them just aren't. i wish i've gotten a touchpad on fire sale but i don't start feeling negatively about HP or anyone because i didn't get one.

People who make over $100k use the most coupons.
(google coupon use by income)

nothing wrong in asking. dont listen to the moral police here on this forum talking about being greedy and all that crap.
go ahead and ask, YMMV.:look:

I think that's his point. If you don't know, just say you don't know - don't lie about it

I'd have been perfectly fine with him telling me that he didn't know - that's not what he did. He said that it was all a hoax, no such emails were ever sent out, and that anything I saw anywhere online saying otherwise was a forgery.

Again, I'm not pissed that I didn't get a consolation prize for missing the deal, I'm pissed that I was lied to.

damn, i just heard of this deal now and Google rocks!

edit: nvm

wooot!

Got one too! Thanks for the heads up OP!

theory: we all know that their service was down that day, maybe your order was placed after their limit exceeded so they had to cancel. this is different than those who tried in time, but couldn't get the purchase due to server error; maybe google even included these same people in their limit.

i personally feel it is alright to ask & find out what their explanation is, maybe google will compensate appropriately. without knowing the truth, it's just flat out wrong to demand your $$ b/c you "feel" you deserve compensation.

wow darn you guys. i tried to buy it right when the deal went live and it didnt register. didnt get one bboo

I got an email on the 30th or maybe the 1st confirming my purchase. It said I would be receiving another email with a code or something. Still haven't received it. Has anyone else received it? I think it's great they gave out the free coupons, but I think it's shitty that those who failed to jump in on time get to use their twenty buh before I do.

noted. i'd be unhappy too. consider this other possibility...maybe that CSR is just being stupid and irresponsible; he only wanted to get rid of callers. get his name and report him to his supervisor for mislead customer(s)!

I guess this is for people who only check emails when slickdeals says so?

You can find the code in your google wallet.

Good one.

According to the thread, stacking was not allowed and resulted with cancelled orders. I'm not sure if someone was actually successful stacking, however, you can make use of multiple codes by different purchases using another household members account.

Seriously. When I started using Slickdeals I was making about $18k per year. Now I make 5x that. Slickdeals has helped me save a lot of money over the years and allowed me to live above my means. If/when I become a millionaire, I'll still slickdeal.

No I was wondering who to ask. I don't care about the trolls getting mad. I didn't even try to buy 6, so not sure where that came from but it says "If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to respond to this email." So I was wondering what email address it came from so I can respond to it saying I didn't get one.

I am pissed. No way am I using my $40 for $20 coupon.

Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!

Google isn't really free but you wouldn't really understand it anyways. Ignorance is bliss.

got it sweet! Google is awesome!

now i wish my order didnt go through...

I got two. One for an account I tried to purchase but failed due to google's server issues.

And another one that I did not use at all, but it still credit me.

I will try to stack both code with a new customer discount code if I can find some Christmas deal.

Go here:
https://www.google.com/offers

Click My Account (middle-right side) -> My Offers. That should pull up "Redeemable" under My Offers Status and show you:
"NEWEGG.COM
$40 toward computers, electronics and more
Redeem by Feb 26, 2012"

Click the "View and Print" button to see your code.

Got it sweet

Based on some of the posts in this thread, I feel like every Google Offers OP moving forward should quote the fine print in big bold letters.

"After redemption period, all vouchers may be refundable or redeemable for paid amount."

Probably not, based on previous experience for the codes. They probably also don't stack with the original GO codes. Personally I wouldn't risk it - unlike with the GO, they're doing this out of the goodness of their heart (or for the goodness of their wallet) - they'd have no obligation to give you anything for your coupon if it got canceled.

Considering you had to be one of the 50,000 to be lucky enough to get into the offer, I got denied the chance to purchase thanks to the SD effect = 50,000 sold out in less then 3 hours... How is this even a Slickdeal? No one else can get it = Lame.

"The squeaky wheel doesn't get the grease, it just keeps on squeaking." You are an idiot if you live by that statement, and if you don't, then you are dumb for posting it.

I had my order cancelled but I did not get a coupon :( I called them and they have forwarded it to a product specialist or something.

Thanks

Damn! got 5 whatever i tried that day..might be tried and missed couple of other email ID's ;)

Damn has try email google see if it luck,but no luck at all ,here the email respond from google

Google Offers google-offers-support@google.com to me

Hi xxxx,

Thank you for contacting us about the Newegg Google Offer. I'm sorry to
hear that you were unable to purchase the deal. We sent a voucher to
customers who experienced an error in their final stage of checkout.

I'm very sorry for your disappointment. This deal was popular and sold out
very quickly.

Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Kristina
The Google Offers Team

way to go google!

happy for everyone who missed out on the GO deal and was able to get this one. but im happy i was able to get 3 of the GCs so hopefully everybody wins!

I didn't get the make up offer... ...I unsubscribed after getting blown off by a CSR over the first round debacle. Maybe any attention (good or bad) is a good thing for google offers? Who knows?

I watched the ticker go from get the deal to expired before I could put in my card info. (like a half hour after deal opened.

I e-mailed the "google offers team" immediately after that hoping they would block some of the people who ordered 50 of them and send me one.

Because I didn't put in my credit card on an "expired" deal you guys got the deal, but the google offers team said tough luck to me.

Not a good experience. I use google everything voice, android, gmail, chrome, music, +plus, etc. wont be using google offers. Not their fault that some greedy pigs ordered an obscene amount to make a profit, but disappointing they didn't have these issues ironed out ahead of time so the benefits could get to actual customers.

The people complaining that they didn't get an offer that Google didn't have to send out in the first place crack me up.

^^ I complained because there would have been offers if people didn't abuse it. i complained because google should have had something in place to assure the same credit card couldn't purchase 30 cards. Do i expect something now? no. Just would be nice to be told sorry we kinda F'd up and we'll fix the issue in the future.

I've got a few slick deals and I never ordered an obscene amount of anything so more people could benefit during the holidays. I've ordered 2 or 3 of something on SD but never tried to exhaust the inventory.

lol lets not exaggerate, I was able to get in on this deal over 50minutes after the deal started; I also leisurely entered my credit card information.

What does your "use google for everything" even suppose to mean? Google is LETTING YOU use all of that for FREE. Google doesn't owe you anything, so get over yourself.

I don't like the people who buy up a ton of the good deals, either, but at the end of the day, it's their option to do so, because it's the retailer's option to let them. If I ran one of those sites, I probably would not care less if somebody bought up 50 of them. Me getting paid is all that matters, and as long as everybody's money is worth the same, I don't care who is giving it to me. Businesses aren't there to help people play nice with each other...they're there to make money.

Frankly, I think it's awesome of Google to do this, because it means that they're taking a loss to try and please some customers. They didn't have to this at all.

I second that!
I'm pretty new to SD...BUT I know calling in to find out more info is a NO NO!!
:shake::shake:

Also I bought 2 got confirmation and 20 min later they got canceled... I've yet to see any email from google offers... crossing my fingers!

I think it was actually 58 minutes, if my memory is correct.

i'm the dude sitting in the next cube, now i know how much you make :yummy:

BTW. last time I was able to buy 4 and I was also able to place an order online with 4 codes stacked. But later Newegg cancelled my order due to stacking of coupons. Thought I would share this with SD community.

I spend $130k a year, so I really love slickdeals :)

My brother showed me that he got one earlier.

Grrrr
 

Hence me saying in under 3 hours. I showed up to the party 3 hours late...
I'm so jealous because I've been a legit Newegg shopper for a very long time now and I have a preferred account.

now I wish I hadn't kept on hitting refresh

For those who couldnt check out on the Google NEWEGG offer, check your email!

Holy cow....I got the email too...simply $20 off...no minimum spend...woohooo....
And 2-day free shipping with ShopRunner....

I luv SD.

Got mine too!

I think I could have gotten it when it was around 30K, but change my mind.

Well shiznit... you all got a better deal than the people who got in on it.

I'm looking for a Newegg code to buy of exchange for an Amazon gift card. Please let me know. Thanks

Sucks, I actually got a order receipt for the deal but it never went through.

I did not receive any codes. Google must be evil.

Ditto.

If it's equal value then sure.

Ooh, nice. Gotta go check my email then.
