devHead Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I just today received and email from Technet inviting me to get my Holiday Offer from Technet. It looks like this: But when I click the link (the part of the message that says 'click here'), it brings me to the following page: http://www.microsoft.com/click/technetplus/holiday/ When you click the little decoration that drops down, it simply brings you to the Technet Home Page. No offer or anything. Has anyone else gotten this? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/953534-holiday-offer-from-technet-subscriptions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 devHead Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Mine didn't say that at all. Maybe that's a special promo offer for those who don't already have TechNet Subscriptions. But then why would they send it as a thank you for those who are already valued TechNet Subscribers? Mine was this: When I clicked on it, it just brought me to the TechNet Home Page. No other offer or anything. Of course, I don't know what I was expecting since I already have a subscription with them.

Well, that first screenshot was from IE9 beta. I just tried from Chrome, and got the same thing you did. Tried in Firefox and got a blank screen (probably because I have pretty much all scripting turned off in Firefox for browsing questionable sites). Anyway, now you know the coupon code, go nuts! edit: turned off my script blocking in Firefox and got the same as in Chrome. It seems Microsoft is playing favorites with IE on this offer!!

0 TAZMINATOR Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 The promo code is no longer valid. Which it doesn't work for me on my end.

0 Southern Patriot Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well, I'm consistantly getting the promo code in IE9, and not getting it in any other browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari). What browser are you guys using when visiting that site?

0 devHead Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Maybe they make it available only for US & Canada IP addresses. I visited the site in IE9 and got the same message as before.

That promo code is NOT for the Technet Subscription site, it is for the Microsoft Store. That's why you are getting the error saying the code isn't valid.
