I wanted to buy 3 HDDs and use a promotion code for 10 dollars off each HDD.

It prompted me that the promotion code could only be applied to one item.

so that disturbed me a little but i went ahead and placed the order for ONE HDD.

THEN i went to go make another single order for the HDD using the promotion code and newegg said i could not use the promotion code.

WHAT BS

what is bs is that on my very first order i purchased other items totaling $358

Well I do believe they have that in effect to give everybody a fair shake at the promotion before running out of stock. But it would be nice to see them at least put a limit on single purchases..maybe something like 2 or 3. But I guess they're strict on that for a reason.

Promo Codes

Newegg.com will sometimes furnish an alphanumeric code that can be used for promotions on our web site. These promotional codes may be found in print and/or online advertisements, sent via email to our Newsletter and/or Promotion subscribers, presented on the Newegg.com web site or circulated at events and through other means. Some of the specials offered by entering a Promo Code during checkout include free shipping, volume discounts , free gifts or complimentary Rush Order processing. The provisions for a Promo Code will be included with the code itself; if an expiration date or other condition isstipulated, just reference where you acquired the code for the exact requirements. Please note that Promo Codes are not redeemable for cash and you must spend more than the discount price in order for a promotion to be applied. For example, if a Promo Code offered $10.00 off your next purchase, you would need to spend more than $10.00 to redeem your discount.

I checked through the links you originaly posted and many of them state save $10 of any ONE hard drive or a combination of wording to state savings is on one hard drive. The links you posted are not from Newegg and there for you cannot blame Newegg for someone else posting the code and not including the complete offer details

Here's a thought.

When you're mad, and people are posting ideas about what the problem might be, or why things happened the way they did, it would be in your benefit not to snap at them and take it out on people trying to help. This thread started out as people trying to answer your question and quickly became people laughing at you because you pissed them all off.

You really should look at the picture this guy posted, yeah. Instead of reading what other sites are saying about the code, read what NEWEGG says about the code, where they say: "One per account."

This. Also, it makes them not stupid because if you could use the code multiple times, they would be losing out on a lot of money on people like you trying to use it on more than one item. Newegg is a business. Most of the time, the goal of a business is to make money, not lose money. Hence the one-item-per-coupon-code rule.

As old as you want me to be. I learned a very long time ago that growing old is mantitory but growing up is optional. Guess.

lol @ over 358. ive spoken to system administrators who have spent in the 10's of thousands at newegg and cant get free shipping back or cross shipping on doa items. and because you spent over 358 you expect not to be bound to the terms of a promotion?

Taken from one of your links:

From now through April 6, 2009, new Bill Me Later® customers will receive $10 off when you spend $50 or more using Bill Me Later®. Your $10 credit will appear on your next Bill Me Later® statement and not at checkout.

Limit one per customer. You must pay with Bill Me Later® and be a first-time customer to get the offer. Not valid on previous purchases, returns, or exchanges. Offer expires April 6, 2009.
