Today at 12pm AARP's discount website, Linky is giving away a discount at Home Depot. It is $300 off a $500 ONLINE Home Depot purchase. You must link thru this discount website to Home Depot's to effect the discount which shows up as a credit on your statement 24-48 hours after the transaction.
This is a new promotion. Yesterday they had a $400 off $700 Lenovo purchase. It took 40 minutes for the 100 reservations to be given away.
So your chances are good as most AARP members probably just threw out the flyer that was mailed to them about this.
You have to be an AARP member or use an AARP members # to register free for the website. Once in, look for the Tuesday Deal and click on "more info". This will bring you to the screen with the button you click at 12pm to get what they call a "reservation". This gives you 36 hours to complete your purchase.
The promo as it appears on the site:
First 100 People: Receive $300 off Your Purchase of $500 or more
Take $300 off your purchase of $500 or more sitewide.
Hundreds of Popular Name Brands: DeWalt, Maytag, GE, Hampton Bay, Husky, Toro, Magnavox, Makita, Black & Decker, Hunter, Stanley, Cuisinart, Weber, Dremel, Milwaukee, and more.
This offer is open to AARP members who have a valid debit or credit payment card. You will need your payment card to reserve your discount and to make your actual purchase. You must use the same card for the reservation and for the purchase. The Everyday Savings Center will not charge your card for this reservation or for anything else. You will see the merchant charge your payment card for the actual purchase and the Everyday Savings Center credit your payment card for the savings value associated with this offer, once the purchase with the merchant has been verified in accordance with the terms of this offer.

When you get the "reservation" as they call it, you use your credit card to get/reserve it and then have 36 hours to use the same credit card to make the purchase. I guess the credit card is an identifier.
You young whippersnappers better not be thinking about circumventing the rules or faking your age, because we're old, we're bold and I'm a card-carrying member.
Now keep those balls in your own yard AND GET OFF MY FRONT LAWN!

Does getting a reservation mean that you are one of the first 100?

People are a heck of a lot faster today. I hit at noon, got a page unavailable site and by the time I refreshed, it was gone! Edit: there are more people aware, and probably more people interested in HD as well. Darn!
I was able to get the make a reservation page, but the next screen was where you had to input your credit card. By the time I got my credit card input it was sold out.
I was able to get a reservation...........entered CC info...........and then pressed button.....no popup or email..........did I miss out or ?

Gone in less than 1 second. Someone must have figured out a way to automatically post to AARP when the offer became "official". If you tried by hand like me you did not stand a chance.

That happened to me yesterday but I got it. Check your email. They send it pretty quick.
In the FAQ's you can change your email preference:
I would like to opt out of receiving Everyday Savings Center e-mails. How can I do that?
You may opt out of receiving any or all Everyday Savings Center e-mails at any time by editing your e-mail settings. Since many of the offers are available for a limited time only, we recommend opting in for specific merchants of interest to you. You can specify your choices by going to the "e-mail & Reminders" link in the My Account section. Please note that changing your e-mail preferences for Everyday Savings Center will not in any way change your Everyday Savings Center membership status.

Had some issues getting my Blue Nile credit, potnetially due to the fact theat Blue Nile sends out their confirmation emails hours late, and charged my card a full day late. Emailed them a more than a few times, and each thime they responded I still had to go through the automated email thingy on the everydaysavings site. Long story short: after mentioning the BBB, the credit posted on January 9.
