I remember getting a coupon they refused to honor, even after staff touted the coupon as part of the value of the wootcrate.

Does that count?

I've got three packages en route from Woot along with the Fuku from here. I just don't get the hate.

- @editorkid no hate, merely serial disappointment.
  Sadly, I fell for the AA bait and ordered a shirt last week. They advertised the Glorious Raptor shirt "Ships in 2-3 business days" but having waited thrice that, my order still shows "Preparing For Shipment"
  Sad Panda is my woot account's spirit animal

I remember when J. Johnson was overseeing deals.woot - we use to get coupons all the time. Now that site is a ghost town. Pale by comparison to what it use to be back in the day.

10 bucks is still 10 bucks. Buy a couple T shirts and you've got a deal.

- @bakeyoural They are typically tied to one's account when they are emailed like this. I didn't get one either, so I'm not sure about this time, though.

- @bakeyoural @PurplePawprints Yep, they are tied to the account; I tried the code earlier and it didn't work.

I got one about a month ago. They had a puzzle/game side sale going on in kids.woot at the time so I used it to start Xmas shopping early.

I got one of these once… wasn't valid at Wine.Woot which is the only part of Woot I've ever purchased from… so while, yes, I remembered Woot, clearly Woot did not remember me!

Got one of those emails from them last November. Thought I would, but didn't use it. Just weren't selling anything I wanted.
Also recently got a "Remember us?" email from Newegg. Guess I'm just not buying enough stuff.

- Actually, it was more like I couldn't find anything over the $25 threshold that wasn't way over the threshold. And something I wanted.
