You're a sly one.
Still...not working yet. ...for me. You?

I've messed with URL and coding and nothing works. In theory, it seems like a possibility. In reality, I probably don't know what I'm doing.

Nothing to worry about, answered in CH's FAQ.

all i see is

12. What happens if I have a negative FunCash balance?

If for some reason, such as a return of an item, you create a negative FunCash balance you may offset the negative balance by making a purchase.


i didn't return anything.... my balance is -$30

i don't really care too much since my fc order has already shipped
and since i got pretty much everything i wanted from CH during b1g4 i'll cancel this account soon anyway...

it is weird though

Both of my B1G4 free orders shipped today (except 2 pre-orders). Question, did most people choose expedited shipping or media mail? Some people seemed to have gotten their orders really fast. Guess it just depends where you live.

Why anyone would choose expedited shipping is beyond me. I believe most of us are cheap...err... frugal and see no need in wasting a few bucks for nothing.

Works for me. Tried just now & it still works.

Once you put a code in normally, you don't have to "mess with" the resulting URL that refreshes your page. You just have to add something to it. If you look in the "enter code" page(source), you can gleam what is needed.

I thought someone here with web exp. would be able to catch this?

I feel like an idiot for not seeing whatever you are. Trying what I thought it was, and still....I either get asked to re-login or get a denied code screen. I gave up until you posted that! Now I'm going to get a headache. =)

So, I put in any working code, then add to the existing URL that generates?

OK, I got it to show the offer, but I haven't placed an order yet. Any reason I should not do so?

Don't change the URL, just add to it. Once you submit a good code, the url given back is good - just lacking what you need for the offer you want.

Also, you have to stay within the same session of IE - no new windows. New tabs are ok, just no windows. You CH session is tied to the IE session. Go into new window & you risk being "logged out".

It does seem to work. That's pretty shoddy on their part. Why not disable it the "right" way? Anyhow, I'm not sure if I want to tempt fate...

Maybe because a email link might resolve to the same code - without the java. Also could be for their CSRs?

The only version of the 1st code I see really disabled is 80.

Could someone please just PM me the actual trick. All this dodging around it is giving me a headache and I don't have time to go buy a Java for Dummies book.

I'm with Zombeaner. Could someone PM me the trick? This is all very interesting, but I can't seem to figure it out.

damnit, this code isn't working with sets that are cheap like the last one was.

and for those trying to figure this code out do this:

- enter 801888 (or any other working code)
- once you submit that code paste "&onlineStr=xxxxxx" to the end of the url and change the x's to the b1g4 code and don't include the quotations.

That's true, but it is working with pre-orders just fine.
