[POLL] The truth about the "SAVER" issue at ebgames.com

[Follandboy]

I just got off the phone with EB customer support regarding the problem that the code "SAVER" doesn't work any longer. I had the guy try the codes on his computer at EB HQs. It did not work for him, and it was the first he has heard of this problem. He said that it is probably just a technical problem with the website and it will be fixed shortly. I asked him if he could ask a manager about the problem, and he did. The manager said "WE ARE NO LONGER OFFERING THE CODE "SAVER" FOR FREE SAVER SHIPPING."

I wish I had asked him if this is just temporary to see how much bussiness they lose or not. Either way, if the CAG community can hold back their urges for a month or so and not buy anything from EBgames.com, I would think that this would be a huge hit to their profit and this would hopefully make them reissue the "Saver" code.

I don't wish to rush into action, but I have like 15 Gamecube games I have yet to play and 3 or PS2 games. I will no spend my time playing these instead of looking on EBgames.com

Are you with me or against me?

Oh, SNAP! Let the battle begin!

the shipping is still better than bestbuy which is per item. so you guys hate ebgames.com because of the $1.99

Saver still works for me when I used Internet Explorer. I just used it to get free shipping for Metroid Prime 2.

I feel a little dumber after reading this topic.

[doraemonkerpal]

saver still works. if it's not much of a hassle to you op, cancel your current order and place a new one with the saver code :)

SAVER was always a coupon, not a policy. Unfortunately, they decided to end the COUPON. Yeah, it majorly sucks, but I don't see a reason to actively boycott EB, but I will admit that I probably won't buy things on a spur of the moment basis anymore.

Why did I click on this and then take the time to respond?

[rabidmonkeys]

Hundreds of people bent EB over this afternoon because of an exclusive CAG coupon code and now you want to boycott them? I don't know if thats incredibly stupid or incredibly retarded.

[evilmregg]

Bwa-ha-ha! The poll numbers are looking a little one-sided.

[shrike4242]

Save yourself a few IQ points. Don't respond to this "poll".

[Dead of Knight]

OMG TWO DOLLARS!!!! STFU, please.

[eldad9]

Um... so you expected them to offer free shipping forever, and now want to boycott them?

Are you also going to "boycott" all the other companies that don't offer free shipping? Or is this just based on a sense that this company "owes" you free shipping?

[shipwreck]

Bwa-ha-ha! The poll numbers are looking a little one-sided.

I can't even believe there are two sides to the poll. Who boycott's a store simply because they end a sale? And in this case, they didn't even end the sale!

[CheapyD]

Geee...way to not jump to conclusions...

I'm sure it makes much more sense for you to contact EB about this, rather than have me handle it.

I'm sorry, but I'm closing this thread on account of me not being able to handle any more EB controversy today.

EDIT: By the way, nice idea to call them immediately after the entire pre-played coupon fiasco. Next time, just send them a letter bomb.
