    BLUSH Oh poo!

    I'm so mad at my scatter brain.I made it a big deal to order the dtv coupons and was super excited.Well time past at I got them in the mail.I moved them for safe keeping.I made them so safe I lost them.Any who I finally finish researching which boxes would be best for us and decide to search for them again and I find them but guess what their expired.It really hurt my feelings.My husband was all I told you so.They can't be replaced either.We will have to pay the actual price (bummer).I guess it will be okay b/c we are not that into t.v. My family likes to play games and have family reading night and we get dvds and games from the library so Que' sara.(hope I spelled it correctly)

    I almost did the same thing - but I found mine 2 weeks before it was to expire. I was tipped off by someone on this board that they expire, or I wouldn't have even noticed that. I think it is lame that they had exp dates before the change took place.

    If you have family or friends who won't be using theirs (anyone with cable, etc) you can always ask them to apply for you. No reason to pay that extra $40.

    I tried contacting them to see if I could send in the expired ones and get current ones, but was denied. Someone told me that Best Buy takes them expired, but I would call first to double check.

    ETA: Saw a news story that said the program was out of money and was asking Congress for more, so that might be a reason for denial of new ones.

    They expire because they only have so much money for the program and if you don't use yours they'll issue new ones to other people.

    I heard that they're running out of the conversion boxes and they're considering pushing out the changeover date until more boxes come.

    I thought this was going to be a thread about poo. With a poll, no less. And yes, I clicked on this thread just so I could do a poll on poo... what does that say about me?! LOL.

    Anyway, you should definitely ask a friend or relative who won't be using their coupons to apply for you.

    I had a couple coupons from early last year that I let expire because I couldn't find any converter boxes at that time for less than $59.99+tax, and I didn't want to pay $20+. The prices finally started going down, and I ended up getting another couple coupons via a relative's address.

    I signed up for the coupons back when the program first started. Well, the boxes were not even at the stores yet. So by the time they are, my coupons had expired. Yes, and I was also denied replacement coupons. I foresee a public relations nightmare in the making.

    mine did expire before I could find them (plenty of empty space on the store shelves and not much else) but I was able to get my mom to order and was able to get the boxes the second go around!

    so even tho there's now a waiting list..see if you can get somebody to order them for you...

    My DH told me a couple of days ago that he heard the government ran out of money for the coupons and would not issue anymore and thats why they are thinking of delaying the swith over.
