Subject: A $150 Coupon for You from Bitmain
Dear customer,
Thank you for your recent Bitmain purchase.
We have decided to offer a $150 coupon exclusively to buyers of certain Antminer S9 batches as a token of gratitude.
The batch that you purchased is among them.
You can view this coupon by logging into your Bitmain account. The number of coupons you would have received correspond to the number of S9 miners you purchased from the selected batches.
These coupons will be valid until 30th April 2017.
Please note that the number of coupons that can be applied to one order cannot exceed the number of Antminer S9 units in that order.
For example, an order consisting of 1 unit of Antminer S9 can have a maximum of 1 coupon applied to it and an order of 10 units of Antminer S9 can have a maximum of 10 coupons applied to it.
If you have additional concerns, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Bitmain Team
I have also heard of people receiving $300 coupons from BitMain, I am assuming for either placing larger orders or for ordering different batches of miners (for instance the 13.5TH/s models instead of the 13TH/s models.)
Has anyone else here received any such coupons? If so, how many? Does anyone know for sure which batches of AntMiner S9 miners are eligible to receive these coupons?
I see also that you can trade these coupons to other BitMain users. Does anyone have any coupons that they do not believe they will use before they expire at the end of April? You can only use ONE coupon per AntMiner S9 that you are ordering. I only received one coupon myself, but if I could obtain other coupons, I might end up purchasing more miners from the current batch (within reason based on what I can afford to purchase as well... At most maybe 2 or 3 miners tops.)
I would REALLY love to get my hands on some of the $300 coupons as that would save me a lot of money on each miner versus the $150 coupon I have. Still, $150 is better than nothing! I would love to upgrade more of my older S5 and S7 miners to the latest S9 miners!
