They always pay from their own pocket. Verisign does not run promos so Domain.com and resellers always pay the full $7.85 + $0.18 price no matter when you use the credit - during a promo or after it

I never said verisign gives them discounts. I said they don't give creidt any more because people used it outside their promos and it cost them extra. however, and in whichever way. maybe they have some budget made for promos.. coming from whoever or however.. there are millions of options. personalyl I do not think they invtented this explanation just to avoid giving people credit. casue frankly, they dont owe anybody an explanation as to why no credit. cheers

The promos are part of their marketing budget. It does not cost them extra outside of the promos. It always costs the same.

The promos are part of their marketing budget. It does not cost them extra outside of the promos. It always costs the same.

I see only one explanation to it: their budget allows them to offer say 1000 domains during a time window. it appears if someone buys credits during that time window and uses them later after the window, those credits were not substracted from the 1000 total allowed.
which in turns means its extra.. beyond their budget.. ie: budget/promo for 1000.. + say 200 credits given.. total=1200 promo domains.

it is the only explanation I can see why they no longer give credits cause it costs them extra.

of course, this could all be solved by giving people credits out of the 1000 total available and substract from it and keep track of thing.... so they may use the credits whenever. but.. its probably an extra step or algo they don't wanna bother with. I don't blame them.
cheers

There are a couple more explanations which come to my mind, but we lean outside of the thread's topic
Bottom line is, they do not want you to stock and use later. "Why" is a different question on which we can only guess. Official confirmation is not going to be provided.

yep... had this on about 5-10 domains ..

its ancient residual records on any of their sister companies from any point in past from creation of internet onward... a bit loike adding domans to some auctions sites.. like afternic.. where it tells you its already there..

u need to call, or chat and escalate. they clear it up after checking whois records.. and email you back that your good to go.. it does not get resolved on the spot like most other things.

good luck.

 

[alcy]

tnx
good to know this for backup, when dotster runs out
whois.com just finished their $5 promo few days ago,
seems a new trend. lets hope it spreads to all registrars.. including big guys like gd.. ya right dream on alcy.

DreamHost.com is running $1.95 .xyz transfers.

I checked Dreamhost-site Do know they NEVER give free PUSH / MOVE between accounts. It has always to be a transfer (after 60 d period)

I did not notice that. I just transferred another couple dozen to them today. CRAP.

Thanks for the heads up.

i transfered from rebel before. u never get a signle email from rebel, no confirmation when you're starting transfer out. and none when its done. u just get emails from domain about both events.
gl

2 days I havent heard anything from rebel and no transfer action.
Do I have to wait 5 days, was hoping for the accept or decline transfer letter.
Sent support an email about this and also auto renew on by default.
Weird domains are locked, and requesting auth code unlocks them for 10 days. Time to request auth codes on remaining .coms and push them to netfirms. Maybe in 60 days, Rebel will have a transfer in special. I do like that a majority of my portfolio is good into 2018

yes 5 days min

they have no auto renewal disable option
and auto renew everything you own 40 days before expiry automatically
cheers

Did 2 transfers from rebel. A third failed I got the domain you specified is in use error. Its good until next may.
Until you get the email from domain.com and click the link to confirm, and enter auth code. You always have the option of cancelling the transfer. I wonder if you cancel, you then get a credit for future use?
If you could add and pay for 100, then cancel, you would have 100 credits.
Or is it possible to buy credits for future use and i missed that?
