vBSEO promotion codes are just a joke

I live in UK and when I open the email this morning vBSEO promo codes had already been expired.

The first early bird promo code expired around 2 am UK time. Other promo codes expired around 4 or 5 am UK time.

Does vbSEO only think there are human being only in the US and not in the europe?

What are they thinking?

It is kind of insult to people in UK or europe. If they are not doing anything about this, I will make a blog about this joke in my websites as well as will post about it in webmaster forums.

What a joke?

Hi Ryu,

The promo codes will be activated for 48 hours, so they are still in progress. However, the early bird coupons did expire.

Staff has discussed this issue, and we are going to work on promotions that are at more convenient times in other timezones as well.

This code is still active for a $20 discount:
VBSEO_MAX_SEO12

Thanks. But I am talking about early bird coupon and $117 coupons. I am mostly online until midnight UK time almost every day and I think I should get this discount with early bird.

Note: The start and end times will be based on vBSEO.com forum time. Once a coupon expires, no exceptions will be made.

:shrug: it's right there. i understand it sucks that you were in bed and missed it,(hey, i missed it too... lol) but i'd hazard a guess that 90% or more customers are US based, thus making the us timezones the most effective from a sales point of view.

All i can suggest is to subscribe to the annoucements forum and have it forward to your phone or something so it wakes you up.

We got 90 % of customers come from US and therefore we don't care what you people from other part of world think.

That's what you like to say.

I bought so many domains via namejet. I know that namejet is at least as big as your business and I think bigger , IMO. They put the end time of domain auctions at 8 pm UK time so that people from US or UK or europe can participate.

You will need to issue a different coupon for people in the rest of the world. You need to show some respect as well.

Yep, I missed it too, not happy either (from the UK also)

i think the time start should have start when the email is open.. missed that too... seriously. that a big joke..

Me too

Come on VBSEO consider life outside America

Dont get me wrong guys however even users within Turkey ( who is 2 hour ahead of UK ) bought licenses within the first promotion. Thats why i fail to understand i missed the promotion because of time zone excuses. However i understand your point but there is nothing we can do about that. The promotion still exits and you can still purchase a vBSEO license with discounted prices.

Unfortunately we cannot make any exceptions to anyone. However for the future promotions we'll use a more global time that will work globally.

I'm sorry, but the savings are like $50, not $5,000.
You spend $50 in 45min at a pizza store for beer and looks on hot chicks...

Or even better, how many times you spent money on things you really don't need?
Please stop complaining. Just enjoy your vBSEO product.

Dude you couldn't get a hot woman if you paid them, that is why you are not complaining. Let me guess you got the email and your discount! Some of us need this update and need a discount for all of our domain's. I personally have 19 domains so you do the math. Before you start saying it is only $50.00 think about what you are saying!

uhhhh Time zone, mail server delays, no pre anouncement, I wonder how anyone got to take advantage of this promo. I fail to understand this!

yes you can do something about it, produce another coupon good for the $50.00 discount!

uhhh yeah you can, your company just has made the choice to screw current customers!

What future promotions, your company never has promos like this, we have been waiting over a year for this one!

Holy cr@p is this so hard to understand!?!?!?!?

Actually, I did not purchased any licenses. And $1,000 is peanuts compared to what you can make as revenue from 20 domains. Your licenses can get paid in one month or less. Not to mention... you invest on a product that will make you more money. I don't understand you.

We believe all the concerns raised are important and have zero-ed in issues with the way our promo was launched. We will be taking action to fix it for the next time.

For now, I'm going to close this thread.
