I just chatted with support...

They said no limit...but need credit card for first transaction and PayPal can be used later on...

No restrictions or special charges after 60 day lock to transfer out...

I thought I will go ahead with at least 20 names...but I don't have credit card...so no deal for me...

Good luck.

How many did your register?

I was able to register 22, in four separate batches.

Did anyone just get charged? I was charged an additional $300 last night because they had said that some of the domains I had purchased at the $1.99 rate were purchase a few minutes after 9pm EST. When I had purchased them they had showed $1.99 each. Now they're making me pay the difference. Has this happened to anyone else?

Weird for them to wait a week later to charge me too.

15 is unsaid limit

The sale was supposed to have ended at midnight Pacific Time but actually ended at midnight Eastern time. Frustrating as I had just finally managed to get the limit on registrations lifted and was about to register another bunch. (Their live support was very helpful, though not authorised to lift restrictions without backend help.) Much though I really love and need to get domains ultra-cheaply, it would surely make more sense for registrars to put an upfront realistic limit on such offers. instead of calling them unlimited and leaving customers to discover limitations and restrictions during the registration process itself.

Same here. They are trying to bill but I set a limit to the card and they were unable to execute the invoice.
I have registered those domains before the promo ended. There is something wrong from their side and they are pushing others to pay for their mistake.

Perfect, namecheap just ended their .com sale and now I can buy more super cheap .coms

Can we transfer out these domains on Dreamhost? I cant see domain auth code place on panel.

Surely you can, somehow they have a complicated interface which is not easy to figure things out easily, even if you want to change nameservers you will take a little time and some clicks from here and there to figure that out, but yeah you can transfer out

Yes, and push by using the authcode if I'm not mistaking. I think I last used them in 2014 so they may have changed the process but it can be done easily.

It's a reputable company.

Luckily I didn't wait till end of the day Pacific time, but registerred several earlier (1 payment ; more then 15 though at once, probalby adding 1 by 1) (not an enormous amount above that 15, but I'm glad I could particpate), and went to rest a bit afterwards, because I saw that I had to wait 15 minutes for an email to be sure. But I fell asleep and in the morning I checked my eamil. And it had succeeded.
But still... I only saw the promotion here very late, and only had 5 hours apparently to register domains.
I wish I'd known earlier about this (and the other) promotions.
I had already 1 domain there that I once bought earlier (a .online-domain). So I was in fact no real "new customer".
I'll have to get into a bit further, and see how good they are as registrar.
