GoDaddy Reward Points – not working, and utterly ridiculous service

GoDaddy Rewards Points are earned from each purchase, and can be redeemed for cash in on-site purchases. However, it has been weeks that this functionality hasn't been working (despite having points in the account), and their support is a bad joke. Below are the full details.

GoDaddy recently informed users that they “made the decision to discontinue GoDaddy Pro Rewards program" and their page about the subject states clearly that users will “continue to earn points for every dollar (USD) you, or your clients, spend on eligible purchases through November 20, 2022. … Any points you've earned expire two years from the date they were awarded. … Any points you've earned can be redeemed for in-store credit.” However, this help page explaining how to redeem the points is outdated and doesn't reflect current site settings, i.e. their explanation doesn’t work.

So, I reached out to their support via chat. And after a while, the rep finally answered... by referring me to yet another support:

Shouldn’t support just provide… the support needed? Anyway, I called the number he gave. Auto-reply said there's a 45 minute wait-time, and gave the option to text, so I chose that. Started a discussion, and the person again was unable to explain how one can use their rightfully earned points, and referred me to yet again another form of support!

I have not created a support ticket yet. This is tiring, and a serious disregard by GoDaddy for their users, both in maintaining basic website functionalities as well as providing adequate support. I am expecting a GoDaddy rep to take some responsibly and shed light on the matter.

I'm curious, does anyone else here have a GoDaddy account with Reward Points that they tried to use? If so, how did it go?

I used them as a discount against renewals. I never understood how the points got calculated. I just know that a few years ago, I stopped accumulating points, but was doing basically the same things I always had done, but even more so. I just didn't care enough about it and I didn't pay anything for it, so it's closure wasn't a big deal to me. But if I had benefits stuck there with no way to redeem them, I'd be pissed.

I see. Well it was unreasonably tough but I eventually got & redeemed the points (I use them for purchases, rarely for renewals because GD jack-ups prices). Anyone can check if they have points through the link provided in my comment. GL
