DELL coupons

[EKKC]

i just bought a coupon on ebay for 99 cents for 35 off 300 to get a 2gb CF card and the harmony 880, it was great, but i was wondering where do these sellers get the coupons from? i mean the guy had 300+ available when I ordered? i assume he didn't sign up 300 email accounts?

and the delivery was literally a second into my gmail account, so do they have some bots or scripts working?

i sign up to dell coupons emails and i never get that many.

Well, even if someone here knows, I doubt they'll share the info.

the reason i ask is i doubt that dell would send so many coupon codes out to these people for a profit. and here i am, an average person who has actual use of the coupons, signed up for their newsletters and never get these accessories codes (i do get systems, Dell SB, and outlet codes)

Easy. They are for first-time users of Dell email alerts, so they use a bot to sign up hundreds of emails every week, so they get coupons every week. Then they use a script to extract those coupons from the emails and once again, use a script to automatically send the coupon to you after you win. All it takes are l337 programming skills and you too can rake in the dough 🙂

Oops, my bad, thought it was general knowledge. Hope I didn't screw up someone's business 😉

If you can figure out how to rig up an ethernet driver to your -85, I guarantee you that you can write a bot for it.
