[QUOTE="ulterios, post: 2241886, member: 322952507"] As many of you know, GoDaddy is no longer letting existing customers us more than 1 code in a given price range for the life of their account (or until GD changes it's mind). To those who haven't found out yet, a couple weeks ago GoDaddy changed it's code usage policy so that a customer can only use 1 code at a given price. That means that if you have used a $.99 code in the past you won't be able to use $.99 codes again, even if they are new codes. Myself and some other domain investors have called GoDaddy to find out why and from out calls the reason that was given is that because of the viral sharing of coupon codes, GoDaddy made this change to their code policy. This sucks for us in the domain business but perhaps GoDaddy will have a change of mind sometime down the road when they see so many people leaving for other cheaper or better registrars. Since there are registrars with cheaper registrations and/or free extras like privacy protection and so on, GoDaddy will soon be losing a large amount of business. Granted, it's just a small amount to the overall number of customers they have but a lot of those users have and will be leaving GoDaddy soon. Who knows, there might be a glitch in there system from time to time and an occasional cheap code might work but I don't think anyone should be holding their breath while waiting for that to happen. All of us domain investors can just hope that GoDaddy will see that they are losing customers and make a change back to the old way, or something similar. Even if they only allowed 1 $.99 code or other code per week, month or so on, that would be a little better than stopping them all together. Cross you fingers and let's hope GoDaddy has a change of heart. P.S. There is one code that is working for existing customers who have used all the cheap codes and it is [B]REV10[/B], but that only brings the price for a .com down to $8.99. [/QUOTE]
