There has been a lot of talk over the last few days about Go Daddy and .99 coupon codes, many people have gotten an error like this:
Now I have not tried to use a coupon for over a month and never used the coupon code cjccoup99. I went to Namepros and noticed a thread there where many have experienced the same thing.
Many were lamenting the end of the .99 coupon code. Lucas Atkins on N4BB.com wrote that he thought Go Daddy may be ending the cheap coupon codes.
I called Go Daddy just now around 1:10 a.m. Eastern time, I spoke to a customer service rep, who to be fair did not have the exact wording but said something due to the viral sharing of coupon codes a change was made. I said that I understood what he meant, that they were bundling all the codes together, so if I used one, that was it and that I could not use another one a couple weeks later. If someone used a .99 code then that was their one time deal. They are not abandoning .99 coupon codes or other cheap codes, I guess they will have to decide when an account resets and when an account can use another code.

It’s fair to say they have been quite good over the years, we perhaps need to understand they are a business, one annoying aspect to the 99cent coupons is they seem to be geo restricted. Most times i get a “payment error” when I try the dirt cheap codes.

It appears that the glory days of using lots and lots of cheap GoDaddy codes is over. I guess it had to happen some time.
I figured that once the company went public, there would be a lot of changes. I guess this is one of them.
