Has anyone been successful at getting the 50% off on Resco Explorer deal at Handango to work?

http://www.handango.com/SpecialsPla...platform=Pocket

When I put in the discount code listed & recalc, it gives this error:

Promotion code is not valid for this site.

Emailed help desk there, & have only gotten the "we'll get back to you within 24 hours" bot email (that was a couple of days ago.)

I've tried to purchase from a number of different PC's, so I know it's nothing to do with my own system.

It's a great deal if it can be made to work.

Contact Resco directly and buy from them directly or order through a site that Resco has tested to confirm the discount works.

There is the possibility that the discount offer is nolonger valid but I would contact Resco and find out how the discount works first.

Thanks bobkatt, I thought of that (direct contact) about 20 minutes ago & will see if Resco can sort it out.

Expiration isn't an issue (at face value anyway) as it says
"Expires 05/01/03"

Buying through Resco direct just shunts you to Handango anyway, but that didn't work either.

Appreciate the suggestions though!

Will post again when/if it gets sorted out.

Very cool also!

DOH!!

Getting close to 40 years. And no relatives down for a visit lately to bring it all back, funny how the accent creeps back in when they are around!

>Do you still have your igloo retreat in Canada still?

Ha! No. Traded it in for a large mortgage on a small townhouse!

Cheers,

No word from Handango or Resco, but the deal has vanished from their specials page. Shame they didn't honor it after having it up all week.

I would push to have them honor it.
Get a hold of any direct phone number or fax and bug them until they honor the deal. . .

If it's only you bugging them. It's no sweat off their back to give you the deal.

Good luck

05/01/03 could mean either 1st May or 5th January
:)

I would assume January 5th, 2003 but in any case since the writing is so ambiguous, I would bug them until you get your satisfaction. :-)

Some posted ad BH that it was a mistake from Handango.

I finally got an answer from Handango about the issue, posted here:

You can use that code (E714A3EF) on the following weblink. My apologies for not including it the first time.

http://www.handango.com/dell/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=658&jid=XF35BBDB54CD8E7A1B627FAAX4C56A94&platformId=2&productType=2&productId=11118§ionId=0&catalog=30

It is still valid, and gets you Resco File Explorer for 9.97. Sorry the URL tags aren't working for this one.

Windwalker,

Thanks for the update! I still haven't gotten a reply other than the auto-bot emails & 1 "we're still looking in to it" email from Handango.

Great deal on a great product!

Sorry for jumping in late. Thanks for the info, the code is still working BTW. :D

I really wanted this software when I trialled it in January, but $20.00 seemed a little steep. I guess my break point is $10.00 because at $9.97 I just purchased it.

Cheers.
