But GD has eliminated almost all discount codes related to renewals. In the past few months, the cheapest I had found was $5 off the $14.99 renewal ($9.99 renewal) and GD is still charging the whopping $9.99 amount for privacy. GD is also trying to sell their discount domain club which is supposed to give members renewal discounts, but the fee to "join" is a joke (meaning outrageous) factored against the discount.

right now the only thing that i'm using from their services is their aftermarket, buy a domain and then i'm running away with it asap, of course after getting the desired domain(changing the ownership details), they trigger that shitty 60 days lock and if you are asking them to remove it, they require all kinds of legal documents so that you will not get away so fast, because of this issue, many times i still had to pay that fucking renewal fee when i've got a domain that was just about 1 month to expire
besides those, their email support is absolutely shit, staying at least 24 hours for a fucking and useless reply where they copy paste the same shit that i just told them that i read about it.
and then they want me to call them for a so called "fast suport", fuck off, who the fuck will pay the bill for calling from europe to states.
