I get the feeling that there aren't gonna be many new customers among frequenters of tech forum hot-deals areas.

I'm pretty sure it deserves attention. Maybe I'm wrong but, I don't think everyone knows about this being that it started yesterday.

I'm pretty sure Newegg changed their system to cross check names, shipping addresses and CC's / paypal used at newegg prior. I tried this once before and wasn't able to - It accepted the promo code but when I got to checkout, my CCs (which I used before at newegg) caused the promo to be removed.

Just FYI. I do think they're aware of people "gaming" the system, and they have tools in place to prevent it - although i'm sure there are other creative workarounds with different addresses, etc.

Then try using a different payment method each time?
Meatslush0001@gmail.com (pay with PayPal)
Meatslush0002@gmail.com (Pay with Visa)
Meatslush0003@gmail.com (Pay with American Express)
Meatslush0004@gmail.com (Pay with Mastercard credit)
Meatslush0005@gmail.com (Pay with Discover)
Meatslush0006@gmail.com (Pay with Newegg gift card)
Meatslush0007@gmail.com (Pay with whatever else I missed, or if you have another credit card listed above with a different number, use it)

Or better yet...Create a temporary virtual Credit Card for each transaction and revoke it. Citibank, Bank of America, and some other banks offer that feature.

If Newegg has actually fixed this flaw by cross checking names and shipping addresses, then you may be out of luck and there's nothing you can do about it.

That will not work.

All I know is that I used that same method back in Nov-Dec '09, and it worked fine with multiple accounts all using the same exact name, shipping address, and credit card info.

Thought about doing it but then read " Not valid with other promotions " so makes me think what I was gonna order wouldn't be eligible anyways.

Hmm....On the other hand the case I'm thinking about purchasing is on sale but not a promotional code. Guess it would pay for shipping at least.

I gamed the system back then too. It doesn't work now, the flaws as far as I can tell were fixed. If your billing address has EVER been used by newegg before, the promo will be invalid. It cross checks pretty much everything now to prevent "gaming" of the system.

If there's another creative workaround, which there may well be, it is much more difficult to achieve. I guess newegg got sick of anyone and everyone getting 10$ off every order. That is understandable, you don't eat into a firm's profit like that without them noticing.

By all means, try it and let us know what happens. I highly suspect it won't work, but if you find a workaround let us know.

When I decide to build a new computer to replace this one in the next 3-5 years, I'll let you know.
My current system build still works fine, and I anticipate that I will keep my i7 860 build for a long while...Just as there are people just upgrading from a Q6600 now today.

The code was stackable when I used it in '09 I believe. :whiste:
Either that or whatever I used it for didn't require a coupon code.

I tried different addresses, IP, email, credit cards etc, all at the same time and at differnt times and nothing goes through. At this point I don't think the coupon code works.
