Darn, I forgot about this and missed any certificates. Now there's an Aquos 37" LCD up for $900, that pricegrabber has for $1299, looks like a nice tv.

Got in on the 25% off Amazon and got the confirmation email. Looks like its only valid for me with my credit card so people won't be ebaying this one this time around. Its valid for up to $150 off $600.

Tried to get the $150 BB GC but no luck. =/

I don't understand.

I keep getting the "Try Again" but I have a hard time believing any are still left. For example, I get this for the Best Buy GC but it was over an hour ago it started.

Basically, if it says "Try Again" should I keep trying? Anyone know?

i just tried to do the Home Depot one at 6est at literally 6:00:09 and it says "Try Again"

Do i have to click the thing literally right at 6:00:000000000001 ?

- It brought me to a page to enter my Name and CC info, it gave me under 2 minutes to do so
- It brought me to another page to enter the rest of my info (e-mail, address, read and agree to terms). It gave me about 4 minutes to do this part
- After the above step, went on to the last page to confirm everything and submit

I got my Amazon 25% cert via e-mail less than an hour afterwards.


Is there an option to use the amex online login instead? I usually don't carry my amex cards...

Not me.. I can actually get past the "It's been spoken for" part. It should say "You got it!" if you type in the code in fast enough, but then i keep getting to a page where it says "undefined."

I got this at least 50 times with the Amazon GC and have yet been successful... I just don't understand.

yep. i was able to get to the "you got it" page once. my heart skipped a beat and then the undefined page showed up. man what a let down. Wasnt able to get past the "this item has been spoken for" page again after that.

I was able to reserve a GC, but FVCKING Firefox disabled the pop-ups and it wouldn't let me access them. Piece of ******! I should have been using Explorer.

I just snagged one of the logitech wireless dj things. I was excited I rushed through checkout but thinking about it now.. I'd never really use it. Hate when that happens.

whats the secret? do you have to type in the code super fast to get it? everytime i try, i get the "its spoken for" message. there cant be that many people typing faster than me

i think its a lottery system where there are only a certain amount of correct codes that allow u to get the item. i dont think it matters how fast or slow u type in the code, as long as you have the correct code...

I wish I knew how it worked. Both my wife and I were trying on different computers. She got it (around 11:04) and I didn't get any. Must be a lottery thing.
