Neddog,

I had that problem too. I had never used Ofoto before, but I had signed up once before with them, but never used their service.

You need to delete the ofoto cookie on your hard drive, and sign in with a new email address. It should work then.
 


<< Looks like someone is trying to weasel out of this deal. Check out an email I just received from Amazon when I inquired about my gc.

Subject: Your Amazon.com Inquiry

Thanks for writing to Amazon.com. This Ofoto promotion does not
include a $25 gift certificate, like you assert. I studied this offer on our
site and nowhere does it claim to offer a gift certificate. The offer is
simply for 25 free prints. Please visit the Ofoto page on our site
again, and you will see this is tru. Please let us know if you have further
questions and thanks for shopping with us.


Best regards,

Better get some screenshots gang, they might try and get rid of the deal soon. I'll keep you posted if I hear back from them on the hot email I just sent them...

That amazon guy is a complete idiot. Even their own web page says there is a $25 gift certificate that comes with the free software they send you.

These amazon employees are really getting to be jerks anymore. They gave me a real hassle the previous time when I tried to use some gift certificates. They went through when I placed the order, but later found that someone changed it so none went through, and they gave me a real hassle about applying them to the order again, they didn't want to do it. I got a little snappy at them and demanded they change it back... as they were legitimate gift certificates.

They make mistakes and feel they have every right to not fix it.
 
This was the reply I received after emailing ofoto last week for my husband....

&quot;Hello Richard,

Thank you for contacting the Ofoto Customer Support Team.

The gift certificates are in process, we apologize for the delay. You
will be receiving confirmation soon.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding your Ofoto
account or the Ofoto service, please let us know.

Have a good trip!

I received this on the 4th, but no GC yet...I'm saving this email until we get the GC. I suggest you send questions about yours to ofoto, not Amazon... 🙂

 
If someone wants I can email you the screen shot I took showing that a $25 GC is indeed included in this deal, it's a word doc file. Just promise you'll put it up on the web for everyone to get a hold of cause I don't know how. By the way what does AnandTech mean?
 
Just did it for the first time (been too lazy but couldn't resist)...shipping isn't free? Even though the prints were free, they made me pay $2.49 for shipping...
 
I think the GC is specific to cameras and accessories. Here's what's printed on the inside of the cover the CD came in....

Get your $25 gift certificate. Go to www.amazon.ofoto.com/25 to request your gift certificate. You can spend it toward the latest digital camera accessories like card readers, extra memory and battery chargers at Amazon.com.

It doesn't say ONLY camera accessories, etc. but I get the feeling that this is what it means. I'll keep my fingers crossed when i get the GC, though.
 
Finally got a valid GC code, after some wrangling (due to Ofoto's error). I immediately used it in the Kitchen department, so in my case at least, the GC is definitely NOT limited to cameras and accessories. I suspect it will work for anything.😀
 
I am also waiting for this GC checkout this email form Amazon.I got this on 04/08/00
Waiting still...I,ll also post info when I get the GC. :0)

I have been waiting patiently for my GC, and I know I have filled out the form at http://www.amazon.ofoto.com/25 before, but when I went there today, it said, sorry
you have not fulfilled the terms of the agreement, you only uploaded 24 pictures. You
need to upload 1 more. So I did, then I went back, filled out the form and it said
Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery of the GC.
 
I just called Ofoto and spoke to Maurice(very nice and polite guy). He told me they ran out of codes since this promotion ended up getting a lot more response than they expected. He checked my account and said I was in there to receive the certificate and that a new batch was due to go out end of this week. Got my fingers crossed. 😉
 
the story about them running out of GC's seems like a buyable story. i'd wait until next week and see if they come by then, until then there's nothing we can really do. but i'm confident once Ofoto gets their new batch we'll all be smilin' pretty- remember the deal is through Ofoto and not amazon.com, they're just buying the GCs from them.
