Re: Current discount codes at SSC and Spooktacular codes - NOTR1CK for $5
Ok, I am going to start this with I have no clue how it works for them but.... my ex-wife works for an airline and they love giving out free promo/reward codes because it actually only costs them about 10 cents on the 100. How you ask does that make sense. Easy, they give out a code someone uses it to pay for a flight that they may or may not have been going to do and the code actually only pays for part of the flight. So the airline actually makes money off of a code they gave out because the price was already at a point they were going to make a profit so a minor discount code doesn't actually cost them that much.
I am thinking they have a budget, and might have hit it already. More people redeeming than in the past (also a reason for the 10 minute codes).
If they had a $5,000 promo budget for codes and that much has already been redeemed... Look at how many likes they get on facebook, and this is free money, not just discounted figures (which don't seem to be selling out, which hopefully is sending a message to HT and SSC about producing too many)
