Online Coupon Request

[antennanut]

Well, I finally decided to request two coupons tonight via dtv2009.gov. When I submitted my request, I was taken back to a blank request page - I didn't get a message my submission was successful. I use Safari as my browser and I know some websites don't "play nice" with Safari. Does anyone remember when they requested their coupons if they got a confirmation notification? Just trying to decide if I should re-submit. Thanks.

Yes, I did, and it looked like this:

Try to do another online request. If your initial one was successful, it won't allow you to apply a second time. If not, it should take your second attempt.
(fingers crossed)

Thanks guys. I just tried it - and used Firefox rather than Safari - and it accepted my application. Obviously my first application didn't work. The coupons are scheduled for mailing September 5th. I'm surprised it still takes that long for them to be mailed, but looking at the bright side, that gives a few more weeks for new boxes to appear.

You may find that the coupons arrive sooner than they predict, at least they did in my case.
