godaddy用$2.95优惠码注册.com域名不成功

 10月20日我的淘宝客域名终于确定为jianmeiw.com，于是着手注册，由于在网络上看到很多人说在国内注册域名会存在这样那样的限制，这样那样的风险，而且也贵，我也深以为然，于是就想把这个域名在国外的域名注册商注册，经过多方打探最后确定在godaddy注册，这家域名注册商不仅是全球最大的域名注册商而且还有很多有优惠码，相对其它的注册商来说要实惠不少。

说干就干，在网上找到了一个注册com域名只要2.95美元的优惠码，看到这个优惠码非常的高兴，这是相当的便宜啊，于是马上在godaddy网站上注册一个帐号就开始了域名的注册，虽然网站是全英文的，而且我的英文水平也不咋滴，但注册过程操作起来也没有任何困难，所以详细的操作步骤我就不多说了，百度一搜一大把。在这里我主要说下最后一步，在最后一步选择支付方式的时候因为使用了优惠码，所以只能选择信用卡支付或者支票支付，信用卡一定要是国际双币种信用卡（一般为vsia卡和mastercard卡），不然不能用来支付美元。当我选择信用卡支付填写了信用卡信息进入下一步需要输入验证码，输入完验证码最后提交的时然后没有支付成功，给出了如下的提示

“Unfortunately, we are unable to process your purchase using this form of payment. Please utilize another form of payment, or contact (480) 505-8855 for further assistance.”

大概意思就是说无法用这种方式完成付款，请用其它的支付方式或者拨打他们的热线。看到这样的信息感觉很奇怪，但是我也不气馁，在网上搜索了一下发现很多人都遇到了这样的问题，但是知道真正原因并解决的很少，我只搜索到了两个人通过godaddy的在线帮助解决了这个问题，虽然不知道为什么会出现这样的提示，但是我还是参考网上的解决办法在godaddy的在线帮助上给他们发去了我的求助信告诉他们的遇到的问题，内容如下

“i want to register domain "jianmeiw.com" via my mastercard card, but when i want to pay for this domain this is a error :

 

Unfortunately, we are unable to process your purchase using this form of payment. Please utilize another form of payment, or contact (480) 505-8855 for further assistance.

 

but Creditcard is the only one payment method

 

how can i resolve this problem，thanks.”

到第二天凌晨3点的时候（和美国有时差，呵），我收到了godaddy的回信内容如下

这封邮件的主要内容就是让我提供5方面的信息，第一方面是让我提供我现在购物车里面的商品信息，第二方面是让我提供我的购物车里面的商品费用部和，第三方面就让我提供我用于支付的信用卡最后4位数字，第四方面是问我有没有阅读并同意他们的 Universal Terms of Service 。 第五方面是让我提供我的call-in PIN，也就是注册时候填的那个PIN好方便确认我的信息。于是我按照要求将这5方面的信息回复给了godaddy，回复内容如下

 

“The items that you have in the cart that you are attempting to order.

这个邮件是告诉我他们没有发现我的帐户里面有支付方式，所以让我先添加上支付方式以后再联系他们，添加方法也在邮件里面告诉了我，呵呵，还是比较周到的。

过了大概有五、六个小时以后，悲剧发生了，我收到了他们的回复邮件，慢以为会告诉我已经帮我注册好了域名，没想到他们的回复居然是说我用的优惠码无法在我的地区享受，无法为要处理我的请求。坑爹啊。原文如下

“Dear Yu,

Thank you for your reply. I understand you are encountering an issue placing an order in your account. In reviewing your order it appears the promotional code you are using is invalid in your region. As such we would be unable to process the order on your behalf as we must follow the promotions region of use guidelines.

Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.

这次哥真的怒了，这个优惠码10月9日发布的，经过这么几天都不知道有多少中国的站长注册过了，到现在居然跟我说我所在的地区无法享受优惠，于是我回复了如下的邮件表示了我的不爽

“Why Promotional code is not valid? Many people are using this promotional code successfully registered, why can not I? Because I am Chinese?”

我就不解释了，反正就是表示我很不爽，我现在在等他们怎么回复。。。。

等了几个小时，那边给了回复，还是和原来的答复差不多，我是彻底无语了，死心了。内容如下

“Dear Yu,

Thank you for contacting Online Support.

I understand you are asking about a promotional code.  Some of our promotional codes are region specific, these codes are only accepted in the region that was designated for it to be used.  This code is set to a specific region, you can use a different code it should work for you, just not all codes are available for everyone to use.

Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.

没办法，我最终只能无奈使用他们的永久优惠码用$7.99的价格把jianmeiw.com域名给注册了下来。看来godaddy对我们中国大陆的域名注册政策还是有很多的限制啊。不过$7.99相对国内来说也不贵，而且还有全部所有权，非常值得。
