Aliexpress generosity.

[Randomangle]

I may be purchasing again from this cornucopia of a website in the near future. They keep offering me coupons if new to the shopping experience - currently up to $10. Is there some sort of tracking system they use which would stop me from opening a completely new account to take advantage of this most generous offer or will it be blocked?

Anyone have relevant experience?

None that I'm aware of, I have 4 accounts on there now lol. Only problem is, I've run out of interesting products I'd actually want to buy from there.

You can basically just add a +whatever to your username: Randomangle+outshopping at gmail.com. Should work for a second ax account, while emails would still go to your normal address. Or set up an alias.

Thanks Halvor, an excellent snippet of knowledge I knew not about.

This is also a good way to see what website has sold-on/shared your email address to spammers. Every time you register with a new site, put the name of that site into your email address using the + format.

Very useful vita, thanks!

Seems like something of an abuse of the system. :-/
Don't forget that many sellers offer discount coupons themselves, if not quite as generous.

I have bought from Aliexpress and never had any issue with anything there. Actually the manufacturers sell their stuff there direct to the customer. After buying for some IEM's/earbuds there from a manufacturer that its prices are very decent and the performance is top notch, later on one of their reps contacted me to try out some of their new models. I bought the IEM's tested them out for a few weeks, left an honest review on Amazon and I was refunded after that. Not even once the rep tried to suggest as in "hey you'll end up getting the product for free so please be nice with the review" None such thing, she actually made it clear, no matter how you feel about the product you write it, we want to know if there are issues with our products. Naturally I found none, the IEM's were very good.
