what code did you use? the felicity movie one? I think its really dirty of AG to be soooo darn cheap! I jsut take my money else where! [img]mad.gif[/img]

OH MY!!! How strange!! how many orders have you placed using the code?

[dlnw]

I used the Felicity code. I admit, I got carried away. I placed about eight orders. I guess that's what I get for letting things get out of hand! I'm tempted to see if I can place an order and still have the code applied.

[dianasmama]

wow! I'm surprised. I used it two times yesterday and once again today myself. Plus 3-4 times when it first came out.

I won't say how many times I used the Samantha code! [img]redface.gif[/img]

Ouch! I would hate to get an e-mail like that, but I can't blame AG. I think they learned their lesson from the faulty language on the Samantha DVD code. The Felicity DVD coupon states more clearly that it is for one time use only. The Samantha code never had that statement. AG must have paid a fortune in labor and boxes to ship all those orders separately even though the actual shipping charges are not as high as AG charges. Thanks for warning us! I will probably only use this code once and that will be better for my wallet, anyway, LOL.

What about people who bought multiple copies of the dvd? Or the scenario like mine where I order items for Grandma because my mom wouldn't go near a computer and she definately isn't going to give me a credit card # to put on there. So I order for multiple people, but it all goes under my name and ships to my address. I have several friends who have me order and have items shipped here for them because they don't want the boxes showing up at their homes. One of my friends only has email and no website access. I ordered Marisol for her dd's Christmas and she was hiding out here until Christmas.
Oh dear. I hope I don't end up looking like a criminal or something. I also have a friend in NY who has me order for her since she has to pay NY sales tax on orders shipped to her house and she just has people coming and going from there to here take the items for her. Actually - I was helping to boost their sales since these people would not have ordered without my help. Now I feel badly.

I definately understand what they are saying, but it's sort of hard to police in some cases.

I had planned on getting Jess and Kit's Reds Fan outfit and Elizabeth's doll when they go on special next month. I'm hoping they don't block me from using the code. I'll lay low for a while ;-)

Interesting. I just put something in my shopping bag on the AG site and they put the code in for me automatically. Can I help it if their web site is faulty?????? I wonder if my order would go through but then they would take the discount off before they ship? Can they charge our credit cards for an amount that didn't appear during checkout?

I think multiple copies of the DVD is why they don't say anything until you've used it more than 3 or 4 times.

People might buy 2- maybe 3 DVDs. My house has 2 copies of several movies. One for the bedroom, one for the living room. We have 3 DVDs of the Lion King ! LOL

But really more than that is going to look fishy if you aren't mailing the coupons in.

Our cashier at Blockbuster said she had about 10 of the coupon, because they let her have all the ones from the rental DVDs! Now THAT would be funny, if AG tried to cancel her orders and she actually mailed in 10+ coupons, hehe
