Hey guys.
Not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but was browsing COTD when I noticed they have an upcoming birthday on October 22

    COTD gets $15 for every person who signs up to the V.ME service using the link on their page.. hence why they can pass on the discounts on the items.
    Given their history.. i suggest as a way of sticking it to them (they are dodgy at best) sign up to the V.ME service direct… not through the link on their page.

    The day you spend trying to get on the site, and trying to purchase is a day of your life you won't get back.

    • Morien on 10/10/2013 - 13:00

      Yes. So nobody bother please. (Less struggle for me)

    Trust me, your chance of winning is pretty slim. It is like winning a powerball or superball.

    • shmahoo on 11/10/2013 - 16:31

      and often what you win is just one (Finish) Powerball!

    Surpising that there is so little discussion about COTD today, are we all sick of COTD birthday sales? or is everyone busy trying to get a bargain!

    Worst Online Shopping experience EVER!!!!! WHEN I manage to get on I have to reload 3 times to get to the product page, then when I try to buy I get logged out 3 times. Finally at the product page I get the item into my cart. At the pay section I either get told they are now out of stock or I get to go to the VPay section where VPay manages to Crash sending me back to the start.

    I know I have only myself to blame for all of this! Should have stayed away! I wish I had known about the V.ME dodge in advance. I might go and cancel my V.ME account in protest.

    yay … i got an apple TV for $47

    • easternculture on 22/10/2013 - 14:23

      and scored a free $10 iTunes card

      • Nachotroncoso on 22/10/2013 - 14:36

        Nice, how much postage did you have to pay for tat iTunes card?

    • jackofspade on 22/10/2013 - 15:16

      are you using the app or web browser?

  • Nachotroncoso on 22/10/2013 - 14:37

    I got Fifa 14 for PS3 for $34.95 inc. postage!!!!

    I could have got the Apple TV, but I got cold feet on the last click at v.me to process payment. I already have a PS3 with Netflix, Hulu and Youtube, and PS3 Media Server on my mac for all the rest, so I can't see much use to it.

    I tried to get the iTunes Card, but I couldn't load the page properly. And after four minutes, when I finally could, it was sold out….

  • raytheguy on 22/10/2013 - 15:47

    Couldn't get anything, keeps saying

    V.me is currently down at this time. We should be up…

    and after it gets sold out but this is COTD so…

  • Ronnnie on 22/10/2013 - 19:01

    I could have got the free itunes card, but the v.me crashed while processing my apple tv payment. So it locked me out of deals for 1 hour. Lovely system, takes your money, you don't get the deal, then they lock you out of future purchases. :)

  • Neoika on 22/10/2013 - 19:29

    Any one lucky to get ipadmini?

    • Ronnnie on 22/10/2013 - 19:38

      Got through to checkout page, then couldn't get any further. I got a couple of things today, so I can't complain. :)

  • bugman on 22/10/2013 - 21:07

    site crashed on me BUT credit card seems to have been charged twice for the GO PRO - $156 inc postage x2. But no confirmation ect.

    Anyone else get this??? anyone get order confirmations??

    I got the sennheiser earphones and the memory card(while testing the waters for a …bigger fish), but chasing an ipad mini or the external hard disk was just a waste of time. Better luck next time ;)

  • jc8 on 22/10/2013 - 22:44

    I managed to get a Nexus 7, itunes card an SD card. Mini no chance…

    WOW. I tried on a number of the deals… The site was so bombarded I could hardly even refresh the homepage.

    I knew it would be tough, basically like playing a lottery on these awesome deals, but it was almost impossible to even add anything to your shopping cart. When i did, v.me checkout was a joke.

    At the later stages I saw a message on the homepage that said something to the effect of "Visa checkout is down, pay however you like, we'll honor it".

    I'm happy for you folks that got a mad deal on some of those awesome gadgets, but that's the last time I check COTD again.

  • bugman on 23/10/2013 - 10:04

    Did anyone get confirmation about ordering the GO Pro??

    • jabbairc on 23/10/2013 - 12:10

      hi guys - spent hours on this yesterday, was able to get:
      1) Go Pro Hero 3 $149 + postage
      2) $2 watch x 2 (with postage $6.95 each) - good xmas presnets for kids :)
      3) White Havaianas Thongs - for the lady, $6.95 with postage
      4) FIFA 14 (XBOX 360) - $33.95 with postage

      Site crashed at least 100 times, V.me was pathetic, had to reload and re-enter like 50 times, not sure if I'd ever go through that trauma again though!

    Spent between 8-1030 last night and came away with gta and a nexus. Wasted too much time during day at work on phone too…

    Could have bought fifa but decided against.

    Had the mini in the cart for an hour refreshing but couldnt check out… At least i got a nexus.

  • jc8 on 30/10/2013 - 21:39

    Turns out the Nexus 7 was a 32GB version…

    • kesslar on 30/10/2013 - 22:16

      Yeah that was quite a nice surprise :)
