My order went through, but I haven't recieved confirmation yet. It has been over an hour. Mine may be delayed because shipping address is different than billing. But, I also noticed that the Rules for this promotion restrict to Gold and Platinum members of the Marketbuilder program. I'm not sure what the status of my company is. I wonder if anyone is checking this after the order is placed and cancelling the unqualified orders. Does anyone know what it takes to qualify for gold status?

I'm not sure if they are checking orders during processing but they very well may be. Here is what my confirmation email says:
Dear [name here],

We would like to sincerely thank you for your patronage and we want to assure your satisfaction on this and every order you place with us. This email contains a complete summary of your order. Please retain this order confirmation for your records.

For security purposes, this order may require voice confirmation with our Credit Department prior to shipping. If this is necessary, a representative will call you while processing your order. Pricing and availability is subject to change up to time of shipment. We reserve the right to cancel any order before it is shipped.

Thank you again for your order.

Btw, the fat wallet thread is up 50 pages with 992 replies and 12171 views. Consider this dead very soon and half our orders will probably get cancelled :(

This was the same message on my order confirmation webpage, but i still have not received any email regarding the order. I think we are all worrying over nothing

A couple of things here. When you enter a web page address, they are obviously doing a "whois" on that address. It comes back and asks you if you are regestering as an employee of "XXXXX" where "XXXXX" is the registered owner of the web page.

I tried for an hour and a half to get registered, and on the last attempt I used an email which is based on the name of the web page. This one worked, where all previous attempts did not. I don't know if this is necessary, but that is what worked for me.

I think this may actually be dead now. The link to the quiz no longer exists on the "My Account" page. I've been seeing the blank quiz page for a couple hours now, and wasn't ever able to take it. :(

Well this just sucks. I registered last night, couldn't get the Agreement page to successfully post, couldn't login with the email I used, and got no response from the email address AMD provided for support. Then, the one day of the month I am not at a PC during the day to try again, and they close the deal by the time I get home. Anyone willing to help a guy out here?

My "Limited Supply: Purchase Your Discounted EPP Bundle Now" email was sent to my primary email that I gave to setup an account. My "Your Product Shipping Center Confirmation" email was sent to my backup address that I supplied when building my new account.

The page in that link loaded the page where you click button to start training and to take the quiz. The start training button worked but the start quiz button loaded a blank AMD website. You may need to login first before you take the quiz.
