Domain discount club questions

[DotCom9]

Hi Guys,

Couple of questions related to the club if you could answer -

1). If I join the club and find a cheaper price coupon, can I still use the coupon already being in the club?
2). List price vs sale price - For example, .mobi shows as 12.99 where as sale price shows up as 9.99. Which one would I be billed?

Thanks

I was referring to the domain renewal, because I saw in other threads here people recommending it as a good choice for renewals if you have 10 domains or more with GoDaddy. I checked it out and could not find anything to justify it as a good deal for renewal as if you do the math you're going with the renewal pricing above the overall competition and you ain't getting any free privacy either.

I would revise that and say "if you have 100 domains or more." The more the better. The GD auctions benefit is a good one to consider too. I'm starting to look at my options though because like you say, there are other registrars with better, less costly advantages.

The Godaddy auction membership was costing 5 bucks per month and with this code...

How is it 5 per month? I thought it was an annual fee?

Sorry about that. I meant the cash parking membership which is 5 bucks a month. It is included in the Domain Club price.

Do you actually use Cash Parking, with all it's flaws?

PS: I've never, ever found a coupon that works with the initial renewal of a domain won at auction.

There are loads of them

Become a DDC member if you plan on owning over 20 names or more.

Every year let the DDC expire, then renew with the discount coupon.

Not really debate worthy. If you like saving money, do it; if not then spend away!

@muvie - Where do you find them?

stub, as a last resort, you could try a wow code

If he already has DDC, I don't think it would help unless it's a ccTLD or possibly some wack-a-doodle gTLD. I've had trouble with coupons in the past too on auction wins. I'm a card-carrying DDC member also.

I would remind everyone, that if I let my DDC membership lapse, and I win an auction. I have three days to pay, so the coupon codes which will work with the auction renewal, wow or otherwise, need to be freely available almost on a daily basis. Is this actually the case with these codes?

Where do you find wow codes when you need them?

one way is to do an internet search for them.

then memorize the best one. can be used multiple times.


side note - the last I heard, no new wow codes could be generated, but existing codes could still be used.

Generated by who? How?

What exactly is a WOW Code?

No I think it's terrible but I don't use it to make money off the clicks. I use it to track how many hits each name gets per day. When I see names that get higher than normal clicks then it gives me the chance to research why it's getting more and I adjust my pricing. Also when my names are expiring I can see how popular a name is by how many clicks it gets and that helps me decide if I want to keep the name or not.

I also use Godaddy auctions to sell some of my names and the for sale link on the cash parking page is very easy to notice. When you adjust the page yourself the for sale link shows up on the top which is nice.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

From the godaddy coupon thread. fbhpg25 should give you a 36% discount. It usually brings the renewal cost to about 8 dollars. If it doesn't work for you, that might have something to do with DDC.

I just received an email that GD is changing the price on the DDC, (upon expiration of current subscription). Anybody else get this?

I received the same email. I think it is time to pack up and move on. I am considering moving all of my domains away from Godaddy. Too many hassles with coupon codes without having GGD, and now them increasing it to double what I have been paying it is not worth it. Godaddy has become too commercialized.

Yea I just got that crappy email too.
I just got an email 4 days ago for my annual renewal for $89.99 and now if I want the yearly price I have to pay $119.88 just 4 days later! $30 more!

Also no promo codes works with it so its the full price.

 

[Domainstore]

Yep, I got the email too. (they claim that there is more now in it).
What I found strange before was that my membership lasted to 26th of december 2014.
I had bought it 2 years ago with a 50%-code, and immediately bought for 2 years..
HOWEVER if I wanted to "renew" now, I couldn't use codes.
Anyhow I waited until the 28th of december of 2014 (2 days after the end), and I presumed I could use a couponcode as I would be buying something "new", but the DDC-membership seemed to be considerred as a "expired product", so it STILL was a kinda RENEWAL, and i couldn't use a couponcode, although I had one ! =>
I know however from other accounts that you COULD get a discount in 2014 if you didn't had before DDC-membership there.
=> So it's better to BECOME MEMBER for 4 YEARS with redutcion on 1 account f.i.then for 1 year, because you won't get reduction if the year is over..

=> I HAVE A QUESTION NOW => WHEN IS AN ELAPSED DDC-MEMBERSHIP TRULLY EXPIRED (does it also go into a redemption period) , so that you can use a code again for "something new", being "the DDC-club).

BTW => I FOUND THE PRICECHANGE PROPOSTROUS => They could have warned people that the pricing would go UP in 2015.

I'm very disappointed.
