I agree.

Oh dear, now it's stuck in my head..

Boom.. bah.. boom.. bah..

I suggest we all save our discount codes for the next time that the Bag of Apcray comes up and use them at that time. Wouldn't that be sweet.

I also can't believe we are on page 81 of comments and the winning DJ number hasn't even been announced yet. When it is, I figure it is good for another 10+ pages of comments, so we should be at least 90 pages by the time the bags of apcray start being received. What is the record number of pages per any one item? Who wishes to bet a discount code that we might top it on this item?

Okay, I guess I was just thinking that you misunderstood what I said (although I understand how it could be read that way).

Sorry for the confusion.

Well, per the link hidden in the Lights/Apcray description, suppose the codes are so they can figure out how many accounts are bots and how many are real people who read their emails?

not sure if someone already posted it...

Who has time to put in coupon codes when trying to order burrito of chorizo!!
Not to mention that it might make the server overloaded worse off then it already gets (trying to verify the coupon code and all)

But ya free apcray is always nice! ^.~"

Thanks WOOT!! You're still the best!!

I feel so very rejected, I have been by your side since 2006, .... I want to feel special... I want a letter too (and a burrito of chorizo that rocks!)...

No...no... Woot! I don't want a rock...

PEACE

The first coupon code won't work on past shirt.woot items, chocolatey

Thanks anyway Woot!

"I left it at the page for an hour, and nothing ever happened. I used the Paypal method just like I have in the past, and there is no problem with that account. If the payment was rejected, shouldn't your site have notified me of that instead of just hanging on processing?"

In other words, I'm Kazaam (1996) of out luck.

Paypal also reaches out to your financial institution before confirming the payment. My bank was pulling some maintenance also, but it did eventually go through. It took me over an hour.

Thank you Woot! The coupon codes effectively make the woot lights free.

Woot lights and crappy anniversary promotion $8.00

Coupon codes for future promotions $10.00

The hope, the suspense, the anticipation of the ending Dow being lucky number 9...PRICELESS!

I am impressed with your dilligence, but the numbers aren't much use. If I flip a quarter 20 times and it lands on heads 12 of them, I still have a 50% chance that the 21st flip will land on tails, not 40%. Some statistics are relevant to predicting future results and some are not. Unfortunately, this is a case of "not".

how many of you have received the coupon email? none yet for me

There should be no restrictions for ONEBAG code (the $30 minimum should apply for THREECRAPS which would work good only for two of the same past shirts) - I will ask for testing confirmation on my end and follow up.

edit - I have been informed that the automation routine to activate the codes on your accounts is still working - probably hasn't had a batch this large before.

just got my email THANKS WOOT

That brings up a question: The mods typically lock the thread at 100 pages, do they not?

49,999 of us, you're the only one that didn't!

They were suggesting that we use it assuming that Woot uses this method for doling out the apcray again in the future.

My sixth sense says DJI will be in between 1,2,3 or 4.

Amen!! Peace!! Blah Blah Blah!!

is woot going to round the #?

It's a trap!!

Woot merely sent those e-mails to distract us from them fooling around with the DJIA, replacing the number in the ones place with a letter!

Very tricky, Woot, but I'm on to you...

My received email from woot now, thanks woot

as just noted in the above exchange - I have been informed that coupon code activation is lagging the email sending a bit. the routine is apparently chugging along nicely now so codes should be active shortly.

so you used multiple accounts to order more than one of a "one per customer" item?

Oh and there is a nuclear war started in 2011. But that's not near as important.

YESSSSSSSSS!!!

oh... wait...

Come on stock market crash to "0"!!! I ordered and haven't received my email with the coupon dealio either. Where's my EOC??? 1hr 27mins left

This must be why there's all the server errors today

I got the email and that is cool. I was always saying shouldn't there be a coupon code for those of us who order from them regularly as just a thankyou?

I'm rooting for the DJIA to end in five, but by integer I'm certain they mean the last number before the decimal. So if it turns out to be XXX5.23, does that mean 1 in 10 of those of us with 5 will get the burrito of chorizo or anyone with the #5?

Thanks for the update, Snapster, and the hard work put in by you and your Woot team!

didn't mean you. i was referring to the guy that you quoted. i've edited my post to reflect that. sorry.

Well I didn't get an E-mail and I ordered the lights. I'm a sad panda

Everyone with the #5 would get it.

But, as we all know, it's going to end in 0 today, so that would just be theoretical.

Agreed.

I wonder how many more people are actually paying attention to DJIA today because of Woot and if DJIA trackers have received a sizable spike in traffic. Hmm... lol

for those of you who have "won" a burrito of chorizo before?

what was in it?
what theories do we have about this one?

No jokes.. im totally serious...
