Requesting PBP coupon code

[lgrajn]

Hi all,

Very interested in the Pinebook Pro, but am late to the party. If anyone has a spare coupon code or is not planning to use theirs, I'd be very happy to take it.

Please let me know.

not quite yet as the shop still displays:

- A special coupon code is required to buy Pinebook during checkout. Visit Pinebook Pro Coupon Redemption page to register, we will fulfill the preorder queue based on first come first served basis and starting on 25 July 2019. Our sales team will email the special coupon to you when it is your turn in the queue.

- Note that, during checkout, you MUST use back the same email address you registered in preorder.

and won't let you complete the check-out. ;-)

I'm sure I remember reading that from today (August 25th) all members of the public could order the laptop WITHOUT a coupon.
Did I imagine this? I'm all for the project, open source, huge linux fanatic and really love supporting this stuff, but am I alone in thinking that this is the most complicated ordering process known to man?! I just want to give you my money so I can play with this laptop.
I know that it is hard to produce enough units etc, but still, wish it was clear and simple and there was an 'official' fixed process.

I somehow missed that this link lead straight to the correct batch for purchase - so I kept the refreshing the community batch occasionally throughout the day. Figured it out in the evening and by that time it was sold out.
I have honestly never encountered a purchase process like this - really hard to follow and figure out how it works.
Still want the laptop but getting a bit over it at this stage - too much hard work.
