bluehash 1,581 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Be sure and check out TI Deals at 4:30pm today (GMT +7) for the next great deal. Yes, that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Already sold out/out of codes, and the #tideals twitter hash is full of people saying valid codes arnt working... ugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Got the below from Alex: As you may have noticed, we are having problems with our coupon code generator. Currently, the site will generate a coupon but our eCommerce store is not recognizing the codes. We are working to resolve the problem and hope to have it fixed by tomorrow. The deal is still on and you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 As did their twitter: TXInstruments (Texas Instruments):There is currently a problem with #tideals. Sorry for the invalid coupon codes. We're working on a solution. Stay tuned! 7:49 PM Jan 17th via HootSuite http://twitter.com/TXInstruments/status ... 1211196416 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orpheus 7 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Great! I was dismayed to see the old deal ca 4pm, but seeing "Sold out" after entering the captcha just after 5pm. I'm glad it was a screwup. I'd hate for TIdeals to become a 'blink and it's gone' that I can't research before buying, or a random "get" like Sparkfun free day. (my whattheheck-its-free Free Day purchases, always stuff I might not otherwise have bought, have turned out to be more than worth my Free Day time expenditure, but TIdeals is meant to be a different kind of deal) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pine 140 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 So... I just tried again and got the deal's over message. Is a fix still being worked on or the deal is really over? Tried like 3 to 4 times since 6 hours ago and always got the over message :? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Tomorrow's gonna be busy for me. Anyone mind grabbing me a code if they see it fixed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I can snag one for you cde 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pine 140 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 perhaps i misunderstood the official message. The "solution" is not about fixing the site to give valid code but to fix something else so the invalid code already given out will work, and that could also means the code quota is already exhausted and this week's deal is over :oops: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I grabbed a code yesterday. I was intending to get a Fraunchpad but have no immediate plans for it at the moment, so if anyone really wants it and has missed out then let me know. Also, can the codes be used more than once? Or failing that to purchase more than one device (in a single transaction)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pine 140 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 A new banner is up at tideals.com: "We are working on fixing the problem and will be back as soon as we figure everything out" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
