GoDaddy.com - SPEND MORE, SAVE MORE! - Sort of…

October 21st, 2008


I was renewing two of my domain names today when I saw something pretty funny come across my order.
If you’ll notice, my order total is $15.88.  And down on the bottom of the screen is a fancy little banner that says

“You’re only $59.52 away from saving 5% on your order of $75 or more**.”

Now that’s a fantastic deal! You know, on my order of $15.88.  I’m ALMOST there! If only I had some way to nearly quadruple my order, I’d be good.

Funny GoDaddy. You know, I love you. But sometimes you guys just try to work me over too much.

    Alright, GoDaddy responded “officially”. I must say… they have no sense of humor. I thought it was funny.
