problem with buy.com new accounts?

[dopcombo]

I am trying to buy the sampo dvd player on buy.com dotd
just created a new email account and got a 30 off 150 coupon from techbargains for new customers
however, the site keeps telling me
"You have already used a coupon. One coupon per customer. The coupon will be removed from your basket. "
anyone knows what i should do?
is this a problem due to the fact that i went thru ebates? i tried it without ebates as well but now i am not sure.

sorry if this seems off-topic to some but i needed a reply before 3am est

try other coupons then they are everywhere and this should be in the off topic forum try a search for the coupon since they are not suppose to be posted

yeah use another credit card that usually works

did you use a different cc?

i used a new cc and i had a new email account
tried like 5 different coupons from different places
even got a friend to use his computer to do it using a new account/email/cc that he created
but it just wouldnt work

in the end i called the CSR and she was nice and told me that she would credit the 30 bucks to my cc.
though i am now not so sure if that will happen. will have to wait till the cc bill comes i guess.
oh well, 150 is still an ok price for a dvd player....

worst thing is that if there is a great DOTD at 3am later.... maybe all of us might have this problem then and we would not be able to make good deals better

thanks for ur suggestions everyone. sorry if this was OT

I emailed buy.com about this and they said the reason is the free shipping is figured in like a coupon. They had me send them an email after I had placed the order, and they said that they would discount the $30 when they had looked me up to make sure that I was in fact a new member. Being as this is my first purchase w/ buy.com, it shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, my order status has been "processing" for about 3 days. So far, I am very unimpressed.
