Any GC's from Ofoto yet?

[spanky]

Anybody get their $25 Amazon.com gift certificate from Ofoto yet?
If so when did you get it?
When did you place your order and upload your pictures?

Signed up 3/30

Got my $25 GC on 4/3

Used it already!

[Jauhiainen]

Uploaded and ordered my pics on 03/14 and I'm still waiting. The 4-6 weeks previously posted for them to delivery hasn't passed though, so I'm still waiting.

Oksys: How'd you get yours so quick???

[twiggyop]

Im still a waiting too. How'd you do that?

[oksys]

I signed up, on 3/30 and immediately made my order. Right after I made the order of the prints, I wrote ofoto a message as I didn't see anything listed about a timeframe for receiving the GC. Maybe it was because I wrote them a message???

Here is the message I wrote on 3/30 at 1am or so after making my order:

----------

I just ordered the free 25 prints and received the confirmation message.
Please inform me as to how I go about receiving my $25 gift certificate to amazon.com.
I followed the redemptions instructions on the page linked below, but I did not receive the gift certificate.
Please inform me as to what needs to be done.

Thank you.

I received this message back on 3/30 at 2:50pm:

Hello Randy,

Thank you for contacting the Ofoto Customer Support Team.
Thank you for registering for the free gift certificate.
You'll be receiving an email containing the certificate number within 1-2 weeks.
Please keep in mind to qualify, you'll need to be a new member and have uploaded 25 pictures to Amazon Photo Services then order your 25 free
4x6" prints.

Sincerely,
Lakeisha Garrett
Ofoto Customer Support for Amazon.com

Sorry for the really long post, but I hope it helps.

cool. more people post turn around times! and this gc is stackable right?

[oksys]

Unfortunately, I can't remember if it was stackable or not. However, it made it so that it was, by buying one of their e-books so I didn't have to pay for shipping.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000051X0D/103-3982053-4727032

That one is $1.75, the cheapest I saw so far. After you purchase it, any non-stackable/promotional GC turns into a stackable one, minus the $1.75.
Doing that a number of times, allowed me to use a bunch of GCs I had at the same time. Hope this helps.
