I know the current method of giving away free promo codes isn’t the greatest… if you have ideas on how to improve it, please say so in the forums! I don’t have a ton of time to be managing free codes, but I do want to improve the process and if you have a brilliant idea I definitely want to hear it. Thanks!

Here’s the forum thread:

Best way to give away promo codes?


  • lman900

    how about you announce there will be promo codes available and who ever wants them puts their name down and you pick randomly.

  • blah blah

    well…considering i have never been able to get them before they are gone…you should find a random generator somewhere and let everyone send you their email addresses and everytime you have promos, generate that many emails…and send them the codes. something like that…i would like a code ive NEVER gotten one. :(

    A raffle system would be a nice option similar to other sites. You can set a deadline of .. say an hour or so after your post .. to close the raffle entries.

    I suggest a little longer than that. Not everyone can have internet access everything 5 minutes.
    Drawing is a good idea.

    I personally like the way it is now, even though it is difficult to get a code, it is still fair.
    Just as the saying goes “first come, first serve”
    so whoever is lucky enough to check the website at the right moment gets the code.
    I only have access to the computer once, maybe twice a day and I still have managed to grab a few codes. Therefore I feel that it should stay the way it is.

    I like the raffle idea, but it will just lessen my chance of getting one because think about how many people check this site daily. im sure there are a couple hundred, if not thousands. thus making it harder for my name to be pulled. However I can’t think about only myself because that would be selfish.

    but i’m open to other opinions too, and would not mind voting on which method will be used.

    the only thing that irks me is those people that use a code but never leave a comment, which makes the rest of us half to go through each code and check them all

    Yeah Kizzle, the no-comment-leaving people are among the biggest reasons I’d like to adjust the giveaway procedure. If everyone would buy into the idea of Common Courtesy that would make things so much easier… but I know that’s just a pipe dream! Sigh
