In for one. I noticed I couldn't find this on FW and that the Groupon itself said no cash back offers. I ended up paying the full $7 price. Not going to double dip this one. Seems like too much of a hassle.

There's a huge thread at both FW and SD. Lots of people placing multiple orders.

Oh. I guess, after B&N and Amazon, I just don't want to put up with the bullshit. Besides, I noticed their movie prices aren't so great these days. I just wanted an extra $8 to go with my $6 Ebay bucks for $14 off something.

Thanks for the link. I signed up for one. When I initially saw this in my email from ebay I thought it was a phishing type thing, so I deleted it.

Did you use multiple e-mail accounts? Multiple credit cards? How long before they appeared in you account(s)?

Re: Groupon Coupon $15 eBay giftcard for $7

Yeah, they're pretty slow. I'm using three emails, three credit cards and three names.

With the entailed (roughly) 53.5% discount, I picked up:
Resident Evil: Afterlife (Blu-ray) for $6
Dr. Strangelove (blu-ray) for $6.75

So you were able to use multiple Ebay GC's on the same Ebay account?

Re: Groupon Coupon $15 eBay giftcard for $7

I got two so far, shot down on two others. It seems the key is using different e-mail accounts in addition to different credit card numbers. I only got one per credit card, despite having different e-mails for each.

Ok, quick stupid question - are multiple GCs from different cities working on the same account like with the B&N deal?

Are these cards valid at Half.com?

Picked up four more after my Resident Evil: Afterlife blu shipped. Now that I know I can stack them in my paypal, I'm good to go.

That doesn't mean anything. The B&N groupon was "nothing but B&N giftcards" but B&N decided to audit their orders and cancel a bunch of them after the fact. I'm not saying that will happen again, but it could. I have no intention of using multiples of these on the same purchase, like I did with B&N.

Re: Groupon Coupon $15 eBay giftcard for $7

The difference is, once the money is received by the seller they ship it. There's no security review, no days for collecting stock in the warehouse. I think I'll risk it. Groupon was quick with my refunds from previous purchases. Besides, there's nothing to say you can't receive these as gifts, and with Ebay's role as a simple moderator it's more likely to go through.

You can enter the promotional code from your coupon or gift certificate in the redeem box within your shopping cart. In some cases you will need to add an item to your Shopping Cart before you redeem. After you enter your coupon or gift certificate code your discount will be applied.

I noticed that ebay uses paypal, but half uses credit cards. Since the gcs are added to your paypal account as cash (which don't show up when paying with paypal at non-ebay sites) do you suppose it won't work afterall? Or maybe I don't shop at half enough to realize they accept paypal too?

half.com uses credit cards, but the quote above came from their FAQs. As long as you enter the GC # in the place indicated, it should work. (Unless I am missing something).

On another note, why is it I can see a new Groupon under "My Available Groupons", but the serial number is **** out, and there is no link to print?

Re: Groupon Coupon $15 eBay giftcard for $7

Has anyone had any luck getting multiples using different virtual credit card numbers linked to the same credit card?

I purchased a giftcard and tried entering the number at Half but it came up invalid. However Groupon said I could not use it until tomorrow when I went to print it out. I'm not sure when tomorrow technically starts though. Do they go by Eastern or Pacific time? I might try it again later. If it doesn't work at Half I'll use it at Ebay.
