    Tempting to retire my PiPo X7 for this, but my X7 isn't even that old :/

    Ok, out of 10 emails. 2x got $15 and 3x got $5 off.. the other 5 was a thank you message only

    Difficulty level= Hard

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/08/2015 - 23:15

      You have 10 accounts on GB?

      • bluepanther on 21/08/2015 - 23:17

        I used all my active emails and none got any good deal..:( best of luck to whoever going to get $149.99 and $50 coupon

        • dosada on 21/08/2015 - 23:18

          Your mail needs to be registered with them, not just active.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/08/2015 - 23:18

          It's supposed to only work with the account you log in. I tried with a different email and it rejected it. They've done this to try and stop people from ordering more than 1 unit I believe.

        • bluepanther on 21/08/2015 - 23:20

          @dosada: yeah, it took me 2-3mnts to register new account manually each time. It's not that hard but the probability of getting $50 or $149.99 is much lower than Tronsmart R68. Best of luck to whoever going to get coupon!

        • bluepanther on 21/08/2015 - 23:25

          @Clear: The trick is. you need to have 4 tabs open max at any given.(best to run on multiple screen)
          1. Ozbargain page (first monitor)
          2. Random email generator (second monitor) <—if necessary
          3. Geekbuying page Register page (first monitor)
          4. Geekbuying ARA page (first monitor)

          Once you have registered, click ozbargain page to open ARA page, generate the code and logout. Close browser once you've registered.

          GB should use IP filtering instead :)

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/08/2015 - 23:26

          @bluepanther: They don't really have to. They'll just cancel your orders if you make more than 1.

        • bluepanther on 21/08/2015 - 23:29

          @Clear: Yeah this trick is if you want to get the $50 or $149.99 coupon. Not good for multiple purchases. note: the coupon this time is not as generous as last time. so yeah, best of luck

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 21/08/2015 - 23:30

          @bluepanther: Handy for everyone else as it wouldn't be so fair if I got the good coupons…

    • dosada on 21/08/2015 - 23:15

      You have 10 accounts with them?

  • wintoand on 21/08/2015 - 23:18

    I think after the last deal we all have at least 10 if not more :-)

    Really?

    • samfisher5986 on 22/08/2015 - 00:50

      its very strange.

      But if you were desperate it has usb3, so you can get a gigabit lan usb3 adapter.

  • CH on 22/08/2015 - 00:29

    Been waiting an hour for the email, how long does it usually take?

    • bluepanther on 22/08/2015 - 00:48

      Straight away! That means you didn't win anything, try different email

      • CH on 22/08/2015 - 01:06

        Can't be bothered, don't really need one and GB still owe me a R68 Pro.

      • gizmomelb on 22/08/2015 - 02:52

        well that is really bad design, there should at least be a message pop up or email to tell you "sorry you missed out this time", otherwise the customer is left wondering where the heck the voucher is.

  • thorpef1 on 22/08/2015 - 07:02

    Randomly sent $149.99, $50, $20, $15, $5 off coupon to your E‐mail.

    Should also add $0 off coupon to that. More of a lucky draw than an actual deal.

  • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 22/08/2015 - 09:35

    They seem to be having an issue with their system where the emails aren't being sent. I've let them know so hopefully it's fixed soon.

    I've also asked how much stock they have…

    • venomx2 on 22/08/2015 - 11:13

      does that mean the promo is still on just their system not working?

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 22/08/2015 - 11:37

        Promo still on but system is broken.

  • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 22/08/2015 - 12:45

    Alright I've spoken to GeekBuying.

    • Deal is not expired
    • 1 coupon per person
    • 1000pcs will be available
    • Plenty of small discounts ($15 etc) and not so many large discounts ($50 etc)
    • This promotion ends on 31st

    Important to note that creating multiple accounts will score you nothing. Be fair.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/08/2015 - 12:57

      Does every entry get at least some sort of minimum discount?

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 22/08/2015 - 14:54

        Still not working properly it seems. I've sent another message.

      Looks like there is still a glitch. I've sent another message.

  • suudo on 22/08/2015 - 16:04

    "you have attended the event" even though I've received nothing

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 22/08/2015 - 17:21

      Read above. There is a glitch currently.

      • comphelp on 22/08/2015 - 19:22

        Should we hold off an wait or will they just catch up on the backlog?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 22/08/2015 - 20:13
          +1

          Probably safest to hold out.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 00:36

          @Clear: does that mean that I will eventually receive the voucher code that didn't arrive before?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 23/08/2015 - 00:37

          @Junk Collection: No idea to be honest. I'll have to wait until GB gets back to me.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 23/08/2015 - 10:35

          @Junk Collection: Why the neg?

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 12:29

          @Clear:

          After the issues with the R68 deal,
          Major issues with retailer - Shipping time exceeding expected wait
          would seem to me to be a legit reason to neg. Not that I have.

          BTW, I'm still waiting for my code.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 23/08/2015 - 12:55

          @NoPantsToday: Hardly Geekbuying's fault when the supplier didn't deliver on the promised units ontime. Was set to presale pretty quickly after that but didn't stop people from continuously ordering.

          The lottery part of this promotion is broken, but the rest of it is working.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 13:09

          @Clear:

          It's not about assigning any fault, more a rating of the customer experience with the retailer.

          I was lucky, others weren't. Given that the delivery time blew out rapidly after the retailer was swamped with orders, If you weren't lucky and ended up waiting 6 weeks for something initially promised in one week, a neg on future deals from that retailer would seem to be a reasonable response. at least until they've got their act together.
          And you did ask why someone would potentially neg the retailer.

          The lottery part of this promotion is broken, but the rest of it is working.

          Will I get a code? Or is it no discount available?

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 14:42

          @Clear: I put in 2 email addresses and nothing was sent to me, making this post normal price and the promotion a dud.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 23/08/2015 - 15:03

          @Junk Collection: As I have said it's currently broken, but the other 4 or so coupons in that promotion are working, so it's not a complete dud. Once it is fixed you will get a coupon, but if you try with multiple accounts you'll get nothing.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 23/08/2015 - 15:03

          @NoPantsToday: Could have at least waited until I had an official answer on getting a code. I have made it clear that no one gets a code if they cheat it though.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2015 - 15:23

          @Clear: what 4 other coupons are they listed in this post? I tried multiple accounts because I received nothing.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 23/08/2015 - 15:43

          @Junk Collection: They're listed on the page linked in the OP. Coupons to get other stuff cheap with the Ara.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/08/2015 - 15:59

          @Junk Collection: I'll honour what I said previously and give you a code. $15 off with the coupon MZITETQR

          There is obviously still the chance you may get emailed a better coupon at the set time each day though.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/08/2015 - 16:00

          @NoPantsToday: MZITETQR will get you $15 off. They changed the promotion to prevent the exact same thing as the R68, so if you want to keep the neg that's fine. You may still get a better coupon at the set time each day though, but those are very limited.

        • [Deactivated] on 25/08/2015 - 16:37

          @Clear:

          Hmm. Might it be worth rewriting this deal as a post in the "competitions" section, and editing this current one to reflect the $15 off voucher code? Just a thought…
