can I have the code please. I've been a long time lurker and always wanted an oscilloscope

Please be aware that TEquipment is located in the US, and the shipping may actually make it more expensive than buying closer to home.

[mrrrwhat]

May I please get a code, thanks.

Can I please get the discount code? thanks

Do note that TEquipment is located in the US, and the shipping charges will likely cause it to cost more than a more local source.

[mrrrwhat]

Can the discount code use on promotions product?

Can the discount code use on promotions product?

If you mean sale or clearance items, then Yes.

Do note however that they're in the US. And although they do ship internationally, it likely won't be cheaper than getting what you're after from a more local source.

FWIW, here's how it works:

-------------------------------------
Hi,

Please understand, we need to verify you're a genuine human & contributing to the forum first for a bit via posts (questions, answers, comments; it doesn't matter so long as it's not worthless fluff just to increase a post count for example). The verification isn't automated, so expect it to take some time.  It's also a means of urging new members to participate, as in the past, we had to manually purge over 17k dormant accounts of those that only signed up to get the code and were never heard from again.

The reason behind all of this, is the code was just changed recently to solve a breach of TEquipment's main rule, which is don't post it publicly (it was found on a coupon site). And since most members do have to watch their pennies, this is a very big deal to EEVBlog members as well as TEquipment (small margins on the type of stuff most hobbyists buy, so they aren't willing/able to lose 6% of it across the board). Self-policing to keep the code active in a nutshell. 

All we ask, is please be patient and follow the participation requirement (don't be afraid to post as we don't allow the hostility/personal attacks you tend to see elsewhere), and someone will distribute the code to you in the very near future. 

If you don't get it, re-submit a post requesting the code again after participating for a bit (we're human, and things do get buried/forgotten). If this does happen, please realize it's a mistake, not a snub (a new member =  ).   

You're patience is appreciated.

I've debated quite a bit about posting this, as i don't want to cause any issues with TEquipment doing something nice for the members.
i'm interested in hearing people's opinions actually, even if its privately.

I understand that there was an issue with the misuse of the code.
However i found out i am  not "human" enough to have the code. 

I guess i ahve to do a bunch of posts to be human... and frankly i usually don't have anything useful to say or ask, today being an obvious exception...
i tend to read posts or search a topic, and watch the videos, and am a typical hobbyist, working on various projects.

I'l be purchasing an mso costing over a grand with the options i want...huge purchase for me as an individual ... 
because of me being soured over being a  "non-human" it is unlikely i'll purchase though TEquipment which likely menas i'll spend a few bucks more on shipping
i know this isn't their fault, but its jsut the principle of it. i mean seriously....you have a discount code but I cant have it cause i'm not worthy .. but maybe in the future if i post enough..... what bs.

gimme me my time machine.. wait... let me search for my flux capacitor and my mr fusion so i can go back to the future and get the code and use it now when its useful.

i think there needs to be some better way of handling your verification of people.  i dunno. not sure i have the answers, but i don't believe i am alone.... the requirement of having a 2 year old member and someone who has been watching the eevblog videos longer then that have some minimum number of post as your only way to know if someone is real  is silly.

I will venture a guess there are many who enjoy reading listening and learning without posting.

Soapbox off.

Being a student. I would find this to be extremely useful in purchasing higher end equipment. 

I think the same applies to faculty - I realise now that grants don't grow on trees!

You not receiving the code had nothing to do with being human or not, but rather insufficient participation. As per reading, listening, ... you don't have to create an account for that. 

Funny though, how much effort you put into whining about not getting instant gratification. 

[innkeeper]

Trust me, I did get the original point. You obviously did not get mine. It had noting to do with instant gratification.
Though you could have chosen to helped me out before i did my purchase.
hope you feel good.

Hi, I don't want to abuse anything but have reached that point in my learning that an oscilloscope is in the cards, and y'all seem to be a decent group of people so I'm game to make you my gear buying source.

Cheers either way!

Hi jericho.ar, I am volunteering to help with the discount code.

Would you be able to provide more content to the forum first? For example, outlining a problem you might need assistance with, helping someone out with a detailed answer to a question, providing some knowledge you might have for an ongoing thread, etc.

For reference, see the policy below:

No worries! I can understand that. Thanks!

How long does it take to approve the request for a discount code? I sent yesterday a PM to Evan (to tequipment account), but I haven't heard back yet. Or should I post a request in this thread?
