Hi guys,

Just curious if any of you gets this error when using a code:

Some of our best offers are limited to one per customer and it looks like you've already used one. We've updated your cart with the best offer, if one is available.

This is what I see below the code field:

The code entered has some restrictions.

Thank you so much for your time!

Isn't it ironic though that the ones bitching about paying 7-10 dollars for a domain are the same ones who wouldn't hesitate for a second to gouge some hapless end-user for $10-20k for their latest hand reg-with-coupon 99c domain.

if I spend $2000 dollars on a domain or $1 on a domain I wouldn't hesitate selling the domain for 10k.


For domainers just beginning who haven't made any sales or made many sales and there judgement isn't that good. GD coupon codes are very useful. You can learn with out loosing a lot of money. I been domaining for six months I didn't use godaddy coupons in the beginning I lost $450 I didn't know about GD codes. it's a expensive lesson to learn if you don't have the capital.

To be honest, the only reason i ever used godaddy was because of these coupons.

oh well, was fun while it lasted.

. . . all according to GD's plan to get people to join the domain club.

Yeah, just what I want to do. Pay a monthly fee to have the privilege of paying a ridiculous price for domains.

You can get .COMs elsewhere for $8-$9 without having to pay a monthly fee.

I think its a bye bye to godaddy right now.
Whoever advised them thats how to treat their customers really goofed.
I mean their is supposed to be an annoucement and then gradual withdrawal of the codes if they really value their customers.
Any wise registrar would step up its game and absorb offended customers right now, when its still hot.
Am not even keen on the 0.99 or 1.67 reg codes, a $2.17 to $5 is still very good, since you cant even get a $5.99 code to work right now at gd.

I think we all have to accept reality that the era of the "GoDaddy Coupon Code" is now dead.

I knew this day was coming the way people would openly brag and boast all over the place about making multiple accounts and registering hundreds of names with coupons.

In a way it's all good though, less people peddling low-quality names and more visibility for the stuff that's actually good.

I doubt that. They lost money on every purchase we had made with discount codes and my guess is most domainers don't buy their other services. GDDY has shareholders to answer to. JMO

As someone else said, they might be losing money on the front end, but are likely making it up on renewals or other services.

Knew this day was coming.. Wish I would have transferred all my 4 letter domains to Godaddy with coupon codes before this, oh well... it was nice while it lasted!

This is a game changer... good and bad. Mostly good news for seasoned domainers. The bad news for me is, I would target 4 letter domains NOT registered at godaddy, just so i could transfer to Godaddy and get an extra year. GoDaddy would be wise to allow codes to work for transfers.

Cheers! Here's to all the domains i sold using GoDaddy codes, and here's to all the worthless domains registered in the name of 'learning'!!! Cheers!

I've tried a few codes, same issue.

GoDaddy will likely lose its #1 status if they don't revert back to their plethora of codes. Seriously, now they are "just another registrar." Nothing about them makes them any better than, say, namecheap.

I've been fully expecting this ever since they deliberately blocked the registration of newly dropped domains for the first couple of hours. What I expect to happen over the coming weeks and months - if this is truly the end of their infamous coupons as we know them - is that they will instead filter through the discount club, which would make sense really since members are paying for discounts yet only getting an industry standard price. This would sweeten the pot for discount members and entice new ones in.

CouponGate will blow over and be a distant memory sooner or later but I'm still disappointed, all good things come to an end I guess.

i have seen similar issues with godaddy but not this before. We should wait until aug 1st so there new coupon code may release. Only then the situation might change. Beside that july is almost over so its possible that july promos are inactive.

And one more thing its not that the total coupon process is done for. Its just they are tracking ip so one person can only use one coupon to reg seriously cheap domain i guess.

Thanks.

Looks like you've used everything. I've posted like 250 coupons some time ago in the other thread.

Try paying through direct bank transfer. It always works for me, because they always record CC details.

As you based at india, Me as in India coupon codes are rarely work for me!
If One code applied then I unable to register a new domain with any coupon code for 6-7 day or so!

Dont know why its happened? Can you tell me why its happened for me.

I too got this error.

What I wonder is, is this affecting old accounts in which many codes have been used, or does it include the new opened accounts with a new credit card also?

If we open a brand new account and purchase with a new credit card, does the system accepts only for 1 code or.. what happens then? Gives the same error message even after using 1 code?
