Based on threads from past deals, some people have issues getting a coupon using a VoIP number and I believe with Mint wireless as well.
Also there usually is a $10 coupon inside the box for Inland filament. The Inland filament is around $20 so it's a pretty good deal. The box does come with a little bit of filament to print out a few samples but it's a good idea to pickup a roll to get started.
This is a very mod friendly printer with a large community. Some people will shit on the printer but if you're just starting out you can't beat a $100 printer that has very decent print quality. If you wanted, you can upgrade a lot of the components and make the print quality even better. This doesn't come with a silent board, just FYI.
The plate was very hard to level completely. Mine had a high spot. Glass bed was only slightly better. The z axis sags. You can upgrade to dual z motor. The firmware doesn't support pausing (to change colors or add magnets), you can update it (which isn't hard but not simple).
I ended up buying a anycubic vyper which is very similar to this printer but with all of the upgrades on it already ($300). I'm going to just sell my ender and I'm guessing I can get my $100 back on FB.
It's not a bad printer, but it'll never really be plug and play. After every few prints, something will end up needing calibration and it's a lot of time trying to figure out what/why/how

It's a shame. I got one of these for $100 last August, put about $70 worth of upgrades onto it, and absolutely love it for the price. However, you are entrusting this machine to supply a constant, high supply of power for hours, sometimes even days, while your print jobs run and you keep the hotend heated to 200C or higher. If it were me, I would at least swap the PSU to a Meanwell...but then it no longer becomes a fantastic deal. No judgment if you do decide to go for this model, but you might want to keep some kind of monitoring or fail-safe on it. It's very shady of Creality to do this to an extremely popular product.

I really wanted to like it but I just don't think I have the time or patience for the learning curve and then the need for upgrades and everything else. These are not yet ready to be plug and play. My local library prints at $0.10 per gram and for me it's a better solution. No work on my part and it's just done.
