HK Buddy Codes - popeyepete - 10-05-2011

From what i understand, when you purchase something from HK, the product activates a buddy code whereby when used by others whom you have notified, they get a massive discount and you get credit added to your account.
The buddy code is only valid for 14days after the original purchase.

Would this be a thread worth starting where members post their buddy codes with the date of expiry for others to use?

Example of mine that are valid now;

TGS Sport 12x8E Precision propeller
TURNIGY Plush 60amp Speed Controller
TGS Sport 11x8.5E Precision propeller
The above expiring on Firday 13th May.

I didn't Know that, is that something new to Hobby King.


RE: HK Buddy Codes - popeyepete - 10-05-2011

Must be as i have only just noticed the new symbol beside my item in the order.
Example of the savings are as follows;

TGS Sport 12x8e prop normal cost - $2.57
When someone uses the buddy code, it'll cost you only $0.79
And i'll get $1.78 just caused you used my buddy code.

Everyone winsThumbup

Theres even a thread on the HK forum where other members are posting their buddy codes.

Great move. As we have similar sized models, we often need the same items.
Do you need to actually buy it or can it sit in your cart for a while?



RE: HK Buddy Codes - popeyepete - 10-05-2011

This is exactly what it says when you click on the little blue icon beside your item. So not sure about your question, i guess you need to try;

BuddyPrice Code
Want to get a refund of $1.45 for this product?
Send the code below to any of your friends, and if they use the code when adding the item to their cart they will pay only $0.73 plus you will get a refund of $1.45!

Just copy the code above and send it to your friends!
Your friends must create an account and be logged in to use the code.

BuddyCode valid for 14 days after payment received.
Discount amounts and prices may change without notice.

It's a new system to try and streamline picking & stocking from the Just
In Time warehouse. The more of the same items they can get people to buy at the same time, the quicker they can work.

The system doesn't work with all items and I get the same prices as the buddy codes at the moment




RE: HK Buddy Codes - Drew - 13-05-2011

You need to be logged in to HK in another window before you click on the buddy link to get the lower price.
