I received an email today that said because I was a sucker that bought the $50 Irk, I got a coupon for a certain dollar amount. It was good till March 23. I went to use it tonight and it said it was not a valid coupon. Fooled me again… wtg
@lisagd they were indeed pink but apparently some people really thought they were red. I missed out on that debate. According to my lazy googling, the color is officially confirmed to be pink.
It’s kind of the reverse of the ones from the Inflate-A-Thon. Just one, for a Significant but not significant sum. And only good on SideDeal. Locked to the recipient’s account, so even if the code escapes, it can’t be used by people who weren’t suckersdidn’t earn it.
the whole first two paragraphs that talk about it being only good at sidedeal maybe?
Meh was just the signature. You can tell because it’s below the message that says the coupon is for sidedeal and only sidedeal a couple times, and above the P.S. Like if Fred wrote you, it would say Fred there. Unless Fred is a jerk and just writes “Best” or nothing. But chances are this coupon isn’t good with Fred, either. In this case, it’s someone writing as the persona of Meh, signing from all your friends at Meh (and SideDeal).
So in other words you paid for a $40 irk. Me thinks they should owe you $30 more in coupons (yeah I know that isn’t the case, rather what I think should go on).
@yakkoTDI I didn’t buy one but I thought you had to buy $100 in junk to get it free and then they ran out so some didn’t get one who spent $100. There was something else earlier where they sold irks at different prices and I think they got coupons with them maybe? I haven’t bought in a while so I wasn’t really paying attention very well.
Yeah, I still feel scammed with that $50 IRK. I admit I’m dumb but I was led to believe it would be a “premium” irk with better stuff/overall value than normal IRKs, as has been done in the past with better random offers. I didn’t feel scammed and ripped off with the morningsave $30 mystery box like I did paying $50 for a $10 IRK.
The coupon is nice and all but should have AT LEAST been 4 or 5 $10 coupons good for a year to make up for that BS.
@scilynt It very specifically stated that the $50 IRK was nothing special. (I know, because I bought one and also got one of the emails OP was talking about). I’m not sure how the team can be more clear when posting IRKs at any price point won’t be any different than the next IRK.
@Kyeh Just checked my bank account. I’m an idiot. I was searching for the refund under Meh.com not Sidedeal. I found the refund once I used the correct business name.
Contact support
It didn’t work at sidedeal?
@somf69 Shoot over to the meh support page and let 'em know the problem you’re running into. They’ll get you sorted.
My code worked. Snagged these cuties.
@lordbowen
What are these? (Other than cuties).
@edsa Characters from Squid Game. But soft and plushy.
@edsa @lordbowen Aren’t they supposed to be pink?
@lisagd they were indeed pink but apparently some people really thought they were red. I missed out on that debate. According to my lazy googling, the color is officially confirmed to be pink.
Well it’s nice to know that you guys are getting coupons to help make up for the $50 IRKs!
It’s kind of the reverse of the ones from the Inflate-A-Thon. Just one, for a Significant but not significant sum. And only good on SideDeal. Locked to the recipient’s account, so even if the code escapes, it can’t be used by people who

@PooltoyWolf @werehatrack I can only imagine…
I’d LOVE to see pictures of your inflate-a-thon front yard!
This just in…I contacted support, last night
Support told me it was a SideDeal coupon, but this what the email said…
"Anyway, take the ten bucks and do some SideDeal shopping.
Meh (and SideDeal)
P.S. The coupon expires on March 31st but you should just go now before you forget"
So, it says Meh and SideDeal, what did I miss?

@somf69 This part:

@Kidsandliz I thought the IRKs were free or did I read the page wrong?
@yakkoTDI I didn’t buy one but I thought you had to buy $100 in junk to get it free and then they ran out so some didn’t get one who spent $100. There was something else earlier where they sold irks at different prices and I think they got coupons with them maybe? I haven’t bought in a while so I wasn’t really paying attention very well.
@yakkoTDI You read correctly, free with purchase.

Wait! Are you folks saying that those of us that spent $50 bucks on the IRK and over $100 dollars on the Mehrathon aren’t getting the IRK money back?
@squishybrain You’re supposed to get $50 that you spent on the Irk refunded.
@Kyeh Ahh! That’s good to know.
@squishybrain If you haven’t gotten the refund, you should probably contact support.
@Kyeh Just checked my bank account. I’m an idiot. I was searching for the refund under Meh.com not Sidedeal. I found the refund once I used the correct business name.
@squishybrain FYI This was the best IRK I ever got. Nice battery powered vacuum cleaner along with some other junk.
@squishybrain Oh, good! On both counts!
@somf69 For posterity - did you also spend the $99.99 on Meh to get your $50 refunded?
