There was no ahoy Matey screen when I used the code but I remembered some of the titles I wanted before I used the code and then just did a random search for those titles.

I get the Ahoy Matey screen when linking from the email they sent about the sale, but no discount in my cart....

They were probably deleting them as you were testing them.

I had added The Notebook, Troy, and the Back To The Future set to my cart last night to see how it would shake out, and the total was like $43.42 with $54 in funcash. I didn't order, as I was going to hold out until today, but then I just read that the codes were dying. I logged in, entered in 006118 yet again on a whim (even though posters were saying it had died), but it seemingly worked. So 006118 worked for me, maybe it was because I already had items in my cart...

The Ahoy Matey secret sale is not the same offer as the 006118 code. There is no code for the secret sale, but if you have a fulfilled account you should see a link for it in the right hand column of the front page. It is all in text between some other graphic features and easy to miss, maybe halfway down the page. This is still active. The code 006118 is totally separate.

We're sorry! We don't recognize the online code you entered. Please re-enter the code or shop with the offer on your Member Card for great savings.

The weird thing is usually they have a deal, let's make up one and say it's 804958 -- which means the real code is xx4958. Any numbers you plug in for xx will work as the same code. But when they kill code 804958 that should mean all xx4958 codes no longer work. They kill the last 4 numbers and that takes out the xx variations. I haven't seen a code where they killed the last 4 numbers and the certain xx varations still worked. What you can find is variations of the code by changing the last 4 digits, say xx4960 or xx4953. So it's really weird if xx4958 is working for some variations and not others because it's usually all or nothing...

Just a data point: I have now tried 4 different accounts, including unfilfilled and fulfilled, at different addresses. None of them will take any variation on the 6118 code.
