I've lurked in these forums for about 6 months, but today I decided to make an account, just to tell my GAWMiners story. I have no affiliation with GAW whatsoever. I started mining DOGE and moved on to other coins and have made a decent amount by speculating new coins and mining different algos, but wanted to get more scrypt hashing power.
So, about 2 weeks ago a brother of mine and I decided that we were going to pool our money and get a 27MHs machine from Zoomhash because I'd gotten a targeted 15% off coupon in my email. However, I decided to see if GAW would match that, so I shot them off an email and decided to wait for a bit. Good thing I did, because my brother ended up with some unexpected bills and had to drop out, but I decided that I still wanted to buy some miners.
I purchased 1 individual miner with the GAW25 code, and 6 others. The NEXT DAY I got a response from GAW saying, "We can't do 15% off, but we could do 10% off". Great, awesome, I'm going to do that, and I'll get a Black Widow since that means less wires and stuff to manage. But I didn't want to get stuck with the Furys as well, so I wanted to cancel the order.
The ticket I submitted didn't get answered yesterday (wasn't too surprised with that), so I called in and talked to Amanda. She got everything cancelled...but then I realized that I forgot to tell her to leave that miner I purchased with the GAW25 code (figured at that price it was worth it). Sadly, that code could only be used once per account, and she couldn't put it back on. So, instead of saying "tough titties, you shouldn't have told me to cancel everything if you didn't want me to cancel everything", she says "How about if I give you $25 store credit?". Ok, that works for me.
I hang up and go to buy 1 black widow and 1 fury. Wait...now the 10% off code they gave me won't work. So, I call back and talk to someone else. He tells me "Ya, that code is good on your account for 24 hours, and we can't put it back on once it's expired. It's a one time thing". Now I'm thinking "Shit...I just screwed myself" But then he says "What were you going to purchase?". I tell him 1 BW and 1 Fury. He says, "Ok, then I'll give you store credit for $216.99, which is 10% of that price".
Wow. Thanks GAW. You guys didn't have to do any of those things since none of them were your fault, but you did.
Do you want me to only buy ASICs from you? Because that's how you get me to only buy ASICs from you.
