I've been using these codes for years, but they now seem to be cracking down on non-US users of these codes.

I click the payment button and get the message:

"Unfortunately, we are unable to process your purchase using this form of payment. Please utilize another form of payment, or contact (480) 505-8855 for further assistance."


I get the same message on all the currently valid codes, even after switching on a US VPN and changing browsers.


It really sucks because these codes are the only reason I haven't bothered moving my portfolio elsewhere yet.

A "form of payment" is not the same thing as a coupon code or promotion code. But maybe that's just them being lazy with error messages.

No, all coupons restrict the form of payment you can use, because they are already taking a financial hit on the promotional offer and would lose even more money on a PayPal transaction - if you enter a code into the card and then move forward to the payment page, you'll notice that the PayPal option and, usually, the option to use stored credit are gone, only the credit card and cheque option remain.

In this case, non-US buyers have the option to select credit card but the transaction fails, giving the error message I pasted in my above post.

I tested using a UK-specific token and the transaction, using the same card, went through without a hitch, which I reckon is sufficient confirmation that it is not being rejected by the bank but, rather, that Godaddy have introduced some sort of last-second location check, probably the country of the card's issuing bank.

Sadly, the UK offers aren't as good as the US ones, so, if anyone finds a workaround, please let us know. Perhaps there is some sort of prepaid, disposable US visa card I could purchase online?

cjcFW199s worked fine for me but the non-US restriction kicked in on gofay031, thanks for posting them.
