Have you let your Jumbowoot coupons expire, unused?

Apr 3, 2012 2:53 PM

I think I have made a big mistake. I think I have let one of my Jumbowoot coupons expire without being used. I hope he will forgive me for this transgression.

It would really help if the Woot programmers would find a way to list all available coupons in the "my account" information, so we can be reminded of the coupons we have available to use.

Has anyone else let one of their Jumbowoot coupons expire unused?

Sure. Why go out of my way to buy something just to use it, if it's something I don't want or need? The thing is, for me, it really is the thought that counts.

I love the recognition of it, but that's enough. I actually prefer the smaller coupons (when they arrive), because it's the equivalent of free shipping, and I'm more likely to use them.

ohcheri did put up a warning 3 days ago -

And as the coupon code was received for activity here on deals woot, the reminder was accurately placed.

Personally, I put a sticky note on my computer when Jumbo sends out more awesomeness. I have a woot shirt/hoodie collection that needs expanding and I tend to use my JumboRewards early.

@shrdlu: you're right. it's the thought that counts.
i have two $5 sitting in my account at the moment. just waiting. i haven't bought anything, but then too i haven't seen anything that was a maybe i might want. why spend just to spend-we aren't the government with unlimited people to tax for income.

I let one expire once...just forgot.

Hasn't happened since.

Nope. If I get close to the deadline without finding any deals I want to use it on, there's usually a shirt or something that I want.

Nope. Picked up a kindle waterproof bag and a flying screaming monkey. Can never have too many of those...

Woot-offs are always more dangerous for me when I have a coupon laying around.

I use Windows 7 so use the Sticky Notes feature. Makes it easy to remember, especially during a woot-off.

I think I have had one or two expire though.

I've only gotten 1 so far, and have already bought a few items and completely forgot to use it! I'm sure I'll remember before it expires (famous last words).

I only had one left and the whiskey stones were the perfect fit. Since the $5 covered my shipping, I only payed $6 for the stones. Too good of a deal to pass up. Plus the $5 coupon is perfect for the low dollar items that pop up every now and then; it makes all the difference in the world!

I had a big coupon that I had for three months and I just didnt find anything to spend it on until about 5 days before it expired. I always knew I had it though because I had it stared in my gmail in the center section of my email and I saw it every day.
I ended up buying my nephew a Tonka truck with it. I sent it to him and then told my sister to tell him there was something in the box for him but he cant open it until easter. Hehe... what a way to tease a 3 year old :-p

I can remember numbers and dates in my head really well so I always have a date in mind and the amount of coupons to use whenever I am on Woot. I was going to spend a coupon today on a cutting board but the ones I wanted sold out too fast. I then found out they warp and then I was thinking maybe it was good I didnt buy any!

I haven't yet. If there is not a large dollar purchase I am interested in usually I can pick up a cheaper item using free shipping that I can make use it. One time I bought 3 calenders for a penny each with "free shipping" since for a penny I know I can make use of it. When I received $20 coupons I was more picky waiting for something I really wanted and figured if it came down to the deadline I could always just use it to get a "free" shirt.

I just let a $5 coupon expire. Forgot about it until there was only a couple days left in the mouth. Didn't see anything cheap I wanted. But I'll be damned if I let a $20 coupon expire!

I used my $5 coupon for a poster. Also got a $10 credit on one of my credit cards for lack of use, so it basically came out to free.

5 dollar ones are prolly going to go unused this time around, they really just offset shipping costs. No harm though, generous offer from deals regardless on the coupon codes!

I always use them. If I don't know what to buy I'll just spend them on shirt :)... I can't have enough Woot shirt.

I am glad jumbowoot gives me the coupons. Sometimes I find things I want. But sometimes I just don't.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
