Yeah, doesn't work for me either.

I noticed this blurb on the Education FAQ (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/25f26dd.html)

IMPORTANT: If you're trying to redeem a product code to obtain a serial number for Student & Teacher edition software, the website is termporarily unavailable for maintenance. Until the site becomes available, you can install the software in trial mode to use it.

Wonder if that's causing the discount codes not to work too.
 
I knew I shouldn't have waited until today!

I wonder if Adobe will honor those previous transactions.

Adobe: How may I assist you today?
Luke: I came close to buying something yesterday with your 80% promotional code, but I wanted to speak with my wife before purchasing. But now today the code doesn't appear to be working.
Adobe: Luke, we regret the confusion and sorry to inform you that the promo code available on our website was invalid and will not be applicable for the order.
Adobe: You can continue to place the order for education version software which is already discounted up to 80% as compared to regular version software.
Adobe: We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you in this regard.
Luke: That is truly unfortunate.
Adobe: Luke, I certainly understand your concern, however, I am really sorry it was an invalid promo due to some technical error with our website.
Adobe: We truly apologize for that inconvenience and please accept our condolences for that.
Luke: Thank you for clearing that up.
 
Crud hope they don't cancel my order. Got it through yesterday but have to wait for academic verification to process to finish it.
 
ya, call in and the guy said what they meant by 80% off is that the student price is 80% off from the regualr price and the promo code will not work anymore.

I think they don't want to honour it anymore, that 80% off regular price excuse is bull. I think they are spinning it that way so that they don't get sued.
 
Regardless of the sale I'm seriously considering saving up for the full version.
 
well shit, i guess my mad dash rush to sign up for a bullshit course doesn't matter anymore?

i was pretty unsuccessful registering for ANY spring course at my local community college. I can't believe BALLROOM DANCING was all fucking full!!

So this never even started as an official promotion, it was an "error"?
 
Fuck this shit. I was this close to placing the order last night, but was in bed and too lazy to get my CC so thought Id leave it till today, since it was supposed to be on till March 2nd. I just tried and it's saying invalid. Fuck Adobe, I knew it was too good to be true. And luck my laziness, I really needed this too.
 
Yeah, my transaction is stuck on college verification or whatever. I'm supposed to email them a copy of my school transcript and photo ID. Hope it works!
 
No! I had the master collection in checkout last night, but I wanted to get my sister to email me her student ID before I pulled the trigger. This is heart-breaking!
 
When I go to check the status of my order today. It gave me an error and signed me out. :(

I ordered yesterday at 10:40 am. I hope they still process the order as I need it for my research.

I am still so sad that I was not able to get in on this. I've very curious as to whether they will honor the people that got in before they took the deal down.
 
I put my order through very early on using my .edu email and submitted my transcript and school ID within ~12 hours of placing my original order, but I'm currently still waiting on them to verify my documents. Crossing my fingers they let me get through.
 
I'm also waiting on them to verify the documents.

If this works, my videos are gonna be so much better. And I can finally learn After Effects!

Yup, same. I'm assuming it won't let me add documents either or anything if they need it so I think I'll be shit out of luck.
 
damn. was it a mistake? The coupon said EDU80 so it didn't seem like a mistake to apply it to already discounted software.

No I don't think it was a mistake, they were maybe overwhelmed by how many people were jumping on it and decided to put an end to the bleeding. I was planning on getting Production Premium but was waiting until I had some money in my account and now that plan is dead.

Yeah it really seems like it wasn't a mistake. It was too planned (coupon for 80% off something that's already at 80% off for students/teachers) to be an error.
 
DAMMIT! I told my wife, who is a student, about the deal the other day and we were going to do it this weekend since we thought we had time. That is what we get for waiting.
 
I sent a tweet to @Adobe_Care my order number last night and they approved my Master Collection order half an hour later. If anyone still has their eligibility pending, I'd suggest sending a quick tweet to speed up the process.

Ughh, this is such a pain in the ass. They're saying my school ID isn't enough evidence because it says 2011 on it? The fuck?

What did you say exactly? Anything? Or you just tweet the order number and that's it?
