I think my account has been flagged or something because I can find ZERO codes that work for renewing a domain at GD and this has been going on for some time. I remember once chiding a GD rep for trying to get me to sign up for the domain discount club, I said why should I when I can get the same or even cheaper pricing with a discount code. Now, I'm thinking the guy must have copied that into my customer record and now it seems that must have some means of flagging my account and not allowing any code to work at all.
Or, not.... I can seem to resist the conspiracy theory.....
Dang it, the domain discount club is looking more worth it now as I can't even get close to the pricing offered there now as no code work for me at all and I spent the last 1.5 hours scouring the net including here for any code that would work for any domain, .net, .com .org etc. Moved all my .us names out to namecheap a while ago when GD decided to really start screwing people on .us renew cost.
So, just found this code for the domain discount club and it works: cjc35newc – $58.49
Looks like I'll finally take the plunge as this will now actually save me a good bit of coin and time/trouble looking for non existent renew codes.
Darn..... I bet their next move will be to raise all the domain discount club prices 2 or 3 bucks since I'm finally going to sign up.
Trying to renew a .com and my price = $12.24 plus ican and taxes.
According to their price sheet the discount club renew cost = $8.29 - that is a 3.95 savings and it is similar for the .org and .net. 3.95 x hundreds of domains = yes, time to finally join the club, at least for me.
Just called GD to confirm all this, I asked the rep if there were any discount club codes and he said no. I then told him about the discount code I found and he asked for it, then confirmed it, then asked me to process the club membership with him on the phone, I asked him if he was on commission and he said no. There was no reason not to do it at that point so I went ahead with it.
Just processed my first domain renewal, a .net. Best price I could get before was $16.99. tried many renew codes and nothing. Now, $7.99 + fees etc. Just saved $9.00. That was a hosting customer domain so he will pay me $15.00 for renewing that one. Now, on to some of my own domains that are expiring.
I'm happy for you guys who seem to be able to still get discount codes to work, but this is what I had to do...
rip off!
