Hi KristS. I actually experimented from about 10 pm to 11:30 pm by trying different items, and both the prime and normal coupon (cutting and pasting into notepad and copying the text from there to the form). I suspect there's something going on during the time period. Not sure exactly. In the future on the next coupon I'll do purchases earlier (either before 5 pm or before 9 pm) to test. All in all I emptied my cart and added different items, trying items that were not on sale that allowed coupons and were above the minimum spending requirements. It was very odd. I noticed (and commented) similar website behavior when the 3 hour sales (with coupons) were running. I saw several start 1 hour and finally changing prices after they were supposed to start (according to the advertisement newsletter for the individual sales) as well as several coupons not working for an hour past when they were supposed to have started. I'm in Central Time Zone as the Zoltar coupon stated the ending time. I will test again on the next set of coupons and report what I find with screen caps. I almost posted several screen caps last night but it was 10 pm when I started and 11:30 when I gave up attempting to use the coupon. Not angry, more like curious about what's going on with possible website delay? Maybe a server cache delay? Thanks again and have a lovely week.
The dust settled, thinking "what a fine home, at least for now" not realizing that doom would soon be coming in the form of a vacuum cleaner.
