Conversations with BlueHost about the existence or non-existence of their much sought after coupons. This analysis seeks to clarify the facts and dispel some misconceptions.
Actual Chat Log:
John : Hi, I have a quick question. Do you have a minute?
Ann : Hi! Yes, what questions can I help you with?
John : I am seeing many sites offering “BlueHost Coupons.” Does BlueHost actually offer coupons?
Ann : We have approved affiliates that offer promo rates for new accounts. You can use their link to get to our site. You will see the $3.95 rate on our home page and on the sign up form.
John : Yes, the $3.95 discount rate. Besides that, there is no actual coupon code, right?
Ann [10:02:38 PM]: Yes, that’s correct. It’s just a link and then the promo rate will display.
John : Okay, great, so if I see someone offering a “BlueHost coupon code” I should assume it is not legitimate, right?
Ann : You can try clicking their link and see if it redirects you to our website for signup. Just make sure you see the promo rate on the home page and signup form. If it takes you to another site for signup, then it’s a scam.
