So you will not be able to use that for your account

FROM MTGOX CHAT.

Sorry this didnt work.

I sure hope you refund me.

I emailed you back after you sent the code and sent the full chat transcript to you.

I had heard from MtGox these codes could be transferred.

This guy agrees too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=129571.msg1383815#msg1383815


Let me ask MtGox myself... if they confirm this cannot be done, I will refund you.

I sent you the transcript of the full chat, Talked with Gene, 2 times. FYI

SynOps, I just asked MtGox Support. The same support representative (Gene) answered me, and said it should be transferrable:

This is a follow-up to your previous request #45227 "Re: [MtGox] You are eligibl..."

Can I give this Yubikey coupon code to a friend?
There is conflicting information on bitcointalk whether coupon codes are transferrable or not.

I confronted Gene with his 2 contradicting answers to each one of us. We will see what he replies.

Hello Marc,

Sorry about that and I did check with our developer on this and provided you the update.Sorry for the information provided earlier to your friend.You will be able to provide Yubikey coupon code to a friend if you do not require.

Thanks,

MtGox.com Team

So he did give you incorrect info, SynOps. You *should* be able to use the coupon code I emailed you.

[SynOps]

Took a bit of work to get it to go through, but it worked!

Thanks very much! Sorry we had to go through some loops to get it done, but its done!

Thanks!

[mrb]

Yeah... Turns out there is a bug on mtgox.com that marked the coupon code as "used" when it was not (because I had partially filled out the Yubikey request form myself, and then cancelled my request.)
