chutterhanban Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 used my last two 10'ers to get the new C&C. got some good stuff from bb out of this hunt so far as well. I can't imagine bb doesn't see at least a glimpse into what's happening. When you see your revenue increase this much in an area where you're presumably doing poorly, I'm sure you're not too sad about that. Who knows, just a thought!

billya Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Well I'm interested to see if we can now get multiple codes per day. Anyone have any good 2 week cancels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how much you are willing to pay for the record on the off chance it does ship... I have one that I really don't see shipping and it's $50. Now, if it did ship, I would be happy about it so I don't mind the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the off chance it ships and you are too lazy to return it to best buy if you don't want it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorSelf Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 i have a code i just got and am trying to use and it keeps saying "there is a problem processing your order" EDIT: actually i think it is just bestbuy.com that is having issues and nothing to do with the codes. Tried to order with and without codes and both got same error message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readthebook80 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 i can only complete orders in firefox. I get an error everytime I use chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfactory Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I placed an order today, with two codes, using chrome, no issues at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I also got two separate $5 codes yesterday (Tuesday) for 2 separate orders that both cancelled on Monday... Weird that they would change things to allow for more than one per day. I feel like that could end up costing them more than just keeping $10 codes and 1 per day.

knifeparty Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If I had an order auto-cancel with codes in it, I should get those codes back right? For those this has happened to, how long was it before you got your codes back? I used $50 worth in an order yesterday and it auto-cancelled and those codes don't work now.

It'll return you the cost of the item in one big code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksuwdboots Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't think auto cancels work that way, only ones that go the distance. Yeah, I think there's a difference between "auto cancel after 20-30 minutes" (no codes back) vs. "auto cancel after 2 or 4 weeks" (codes back). EDIT: In other words between "auto cancel because your info could not be verified" vs. "auto cancel because the item is still backordered so your order couldn't be fulfilled".

sandbox-wars Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Some pages back there are examples of people who had instant cancels and still got codes, whereas I've recently stopped keeping SoT on constant order because the last time it fell off after 2 weeks I didn't get my codes back. The whole system is random/buggy, hard to make any defining rules when there's so many exceptions and BB is actively trying to change everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This is getting crazy... Have we determined how to avoid the dreaded auto-cancel? I've heard possible solutions as: Order from home rather than work Order during the afternoon rather than the morning Order from a new account that you have been getting codes from None of these seems like real solutions... but who the hell knows.

stl_ben Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I placed 2 orders this morning. Both from same (work) computer within 3 minutes with same payment method. One cancelled and one didn't. Don't see any rhyme or reason to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knifeparty Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I ordered twice today too and it cancelled the second order and left the first one active. The same happened yesterday earlier in the day before my cancelled order that night. So I am thinking that maybe they are limiting us to just placing one back-ordered order a day and if we get an auto-cancel that day, anything we order later on will cancel whether in stock or not. Just a theory but it seems to make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I still think it has to do with how many open orders you have. Not sure anyone will admit to it, but I'm kinda willing to bet that those who keep having their orders insta-cancelled likely have 20+ open orders on their account for backordered items. I stopped having issues with the insta-cancel thing after I took a break and allowed the number of open orders I had to decrease significantly. This is all getting silly anyway...

knifeparty Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I currently have 11 open. That makes sense that they might have a cut-off like that. Anyone currently have more than that open and have been able to add without insta-cancel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
