Strange wording. It isn't "$10 card". It is "$10 valued card"
So, it might be a coupon giving you $10 off a $100 purchase or something among the lines... It sure has $10 value, but generally worthless :)

[fightbriz]

yeah but what's a coffee break... is that an online webinar?

[lazy_prodigy]

Thanks xla4life!

[vsaint]

how do these work, do i have to actively participate?

[SecretAgent]

$10 off a $100 purchase @ Tim Horton's ? I highly doubt that. They email you a link to logon for the online seminar (or whatever it is) Thursday, August 13, 2009 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

[EdLeafs]

So this is an online event? I thought we had to go to the convention ourselves.

[eightyeight]

Can only enter Webinar once it starts.. And you MUST be there within 10 minutes of the start time (and stay for 25 minutes thereafter).

[ihsn]

Reminder .. its going to start in 5 mins ..

[Mini_]

Do we have to call for the audio.. or is it okay if we just kept the webinar on!

[Krab]

Do we have to call for the audio.. or is it okay if we just kept the webinar on!

I'd like to know the answer to that as well, :lol:

[ihsn]

I dont think audio is necessary, not sure .. :confused:

I'm letting the webinar run in the background ... is that ok? :confused: :lol:

[s3n4te]

They ask for your access code and name for the phone audio. I think it's a way to seperate the real potential customers and prospects from the RFD members :lol:

I would recommend to join the audio conference just to be on the safe side though.

edit: the speaker is very poor at public speaking

Yes I did to be on the safe side.

[calgaryboy]

this is most boring... i got confused with the time. EDT.

[fightbriz]

how to monitor application performance and end user performance visibility....

wait... what on earth are they talking about!!

[s3n4te]

how to monitor application performance and end user performance visibility....

wait... what on earth are they talking about!!

They are talking about streamlining web applications with their ADC product.

They are trying to convince us that their product is more effiecient and easier to deploy than other compeitors.

[calgaryboy]

im listening 19 mins now. after 25 right? lol

[rocketkev]

They are talking about streamlining web applications with their ADC product.

While looking at it, I'm will probably be using the chalcogendide hemi-stator switch for the server. I found that the chiral reflux of the sub-Ohmic dissipative elements could effectively renormalized by the infrared reflectivity of the phroxtol Cpu offloader. The diplar malevolence of the semi-coptic frequencies, discussed by the guy, is inverted simply by shorting the drivvel leads to the pesel underneath the rhombic pnictogen filters for the storage resource.
It's basicly helping you being more efficent with your servers.

[s3n4te]

25 minutes up! I am free!!!

Right on!

[fightbriz]

ADC? netscaling? blah

ok so how long is the seminar? I don't want to terminate now, I just want it to finish.

[calgaryboy]

1 hour long.

[fightbriz]

lol you are hilarious!

CPU offloader diplar chryogenocide...... yeah anymore of this and there WILL be genocide

[fightbriz]

has anyone terminated yet? what happens, do you get a thing to enter your info?

[calgaryboy]

lol you are hilarious!

lol again.

[s3n4te]

has anyone terminated yet? what happens, do you get a thing to enter your info?

I bet you a bunch of people just terminated which will easily tell Cytrix that they were only there for the Tim Hortons Gift Card. I'm just going to stay till the end to show them my "fake" commitment and interest.

[Derringdo]

Pretty sure you don't need to enter any info or join the conference call. The link contains a unique ID so as long as you click it to enter the webinar I think you should be okay. I'm guessing the conference line is just a generic passcode to join, so there's no way to track who joins or not, and they're not going to comb through everyone's spoken name to figure out who actually listened in or not.

edit: my organization actually uses citrix so I'll keep listening/watching.

Wait, when we signed up for the seminar, did we enter our address n stuff? Are you saying there's no form to fill out after terminating the seminar in order to tell them where to send the card?

Well, that's a relief. The audio should have been included with the webinar program, using a phone to hear what's going on is pretty ridiculous,

[rocketkev]

Ha he answered my question!

[cashinstinct]

There is now a message appearing saying:
Please complete the survey at the close of the session to ensure that you receive your Tim Hortons gift card

Cards will be delivered in 5-10 business days to the address used during registration

You had to stay for more than 25 minutes it seems.

[fightbriz]

"Be sure to complete the survey to ensure delivery"!!!!!!!!!
cards delivered 5-10 days to address of registration

Seems kinda unfair though for those who closed it at exactly 25 minutes, unless the survey is sent by e-mail or something,

[s3n4te]

Wow Cytrix is pretty smart at weeding out fake customers. Luckily I'm still connected.

[calgaryboy]

where's the survey?

[fightbriz]

when you close the GOTO meeting thing, it will open a SURVEY in your browser... it's a generic survey tho

lolz!!!! :lol:

[fightbriz]

when you close the webinar, your browser will automatically go to survey...

I don't think it matters personally.... whether you do it or not.

[ihsn]

Survey was general, not Q&A. ^ "LOLZ" backfired.

[madcow043]

was it they survey that asked you what company you are in, and what products you haven't heard about before, etc. ? Because that came up for me after I closed at like 30 min after

[calgaryboy]

Haha, true,

Er, well, it didn't pop up for me when I closed it (kept it open till now) :cry: .. Is the survey link generic or ID-Coded?

Thx

[alexking]

LOL close the gotowebinar thing and the survey pops up in your browser.

When you do the survey it says. " Thank you for completing our survey. Your feedback is very valuable."

Where do we enter our address for the gift card? I cant remember if I already did during registration...:o

[fightbriz]

THAT IS THE ONE. So did you get sold on buying a sli-based invertor silo application crunchograph versa beam modulator?

[s3n4te]

No it's the one that asks for your company address, and contact info so that they can send an agent to your business to verify that you truly are not RFD.

j/k

[Derringdo]

The survey link also includes the unique ID that you were sent in the link to open the webinar, so no it is not generic. You need to complete the survey specific to you in order to get the Timmies gc

Just copy the link from the email they sent you and replace "join" with "survey"

For example, my original link was
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/join/159945241/106441401

and my survey link was:
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/survey/159945241/106441401/19285287

[fightbriz]

yeah but there's a bunch of numbers after that survey link u forgot about

[fightbriz]

lol I filled out your survey again :D

j/k

[eightyeight]

Filled out the survey.

This **** better come. Or else I will NEVER recommend Citrix to any friends looking to upgrade their server architecture within the next year.

[mistyrivers]

I listened to the entire webinar.

There were two things you needed to do to get the coffee card:

1. Fill out the survey (unique ID for each person).
2. Send an email to the host (Nathan Florence) with your name and address - asking for the coffee card.

Who's actually going to do that?

[Krab]

Who's actually going to do that?

Anyone who wants the gift card, I'm assuming.

[fightbriz]

where does it say you have to send an email? and where did he say this:


"Thanks Misty, What company do you currently work with?"

[eightyeight]

Just received an email thanking me for attending the Webinar:

"To receive a complimentary Tim Horton’s gift card, valued at $10.00, you must be a Canada based customer or prospect of Citrix Systems Inc and participate in a Coffee Break for the first 25 minutes or more. Those who join a Coffee Break already in progress more than 10 minutes after the scheduled start time are not qualified to receive a gift card. Qualified participants will receive their gift card within 2-4 weeks following the event. Cards will be delivered to you using the address you provided during registration. Citrix Employees, partners and their family are not qualified to receive gift cards."

Says nothing about sending an email or completing the survey (but I did complete the survey anyways).

Looks like they're trying to back out of sending the gift card. They better be careful, as my company actually has use for Citrix NetScaler systems... Would hate to cost them a client worth thousands over a gift card worth $10 (but will gladly do so if a company breaks their word to me - even if my alternative is slightly more expensive).

[pintobean]

This is hilarious!

Let's recap the situation here...

Citrix decided to put on a webinar for their potential customers only.
They decided to offer $10 gift cards as an incentive to these potential customers.
Somehow, the "sociopaths" ;) at RFD caught wind of this promotion.
Many RFDers tried to scam Citrix out of gift cards by registering for the webinar even though they were not potential customers.
Citrix now seems to have scammed you guys back by changing the rules for receiving the gift card.
So instead of scamming Citrix for $10, you wasted your time.
And now some RFDers (like eightyeight) are crying and threatening that they will not recommend Citrix anymore and may even pull their business (as if you actually have the ability to make your employer do such a thing :rolleyes:)


I am sitting here and laughing.
You guys can complain all you want, but I have to applaud Citrix.
It's refreshing to see a company fight back against people that were openly screwing with their promotion.
Bravo Citrix!

Maybe the person who said that we have to send an email is from Citrix and wants to find a way from separating RFDrs from actual customers :P

[fightbriz]

where on earth do you see them backing out on giving the gift card??

it says basically, "if you met the terms of the original promo that we told you the details of BEFORE you took the webinar, we will send you the gift card in a few weeks"

I don't see where you guys think that they are trying to back out!

[pintobean]

where on earth do you see them backing out on giving the gift card??
Well if you have a look at some of the posts made by other people in this thread, you'd see that it certainly appears as if they're trying to weed out the RFD members from getting the gift cards.

The very first post in this thread contained the terms and conditions for receiving the gift card which said:
Coffee Breaks are intended for Citrix customers and prospects only.
Then RFD member mistyrivers said that she watched the entire webinar and it said that you needed to email the host asking for the gift card:
There were two things you needed to do to get the coffee card...Send an email to the host (Nathan Florence) with your name and address - asking for the coffee card.
So mistyrivers sent the email and the host replied by asking her what company she worked with:
Thanks Misty, What company do you currently work with?
The rational conclusion here is that if mistyrivers says she works for McDonalds or is unemployed or lists some other company that isn't a Citrix customer or potential customer, Nathan is going to tell her that she failed to meet the terms and conditions in order to get the gift card. And if she lies and says that she does work for a Citrix customer, she'll probably get some additional questions to answer.

The bottom line is that this company wised up to the RFD effect and is taking measures to prevent themselves from getting screwed out of hundreds of dollars.

It's alright to be jealous, brah. I'll buy you a coffee with my $10 GC, k?

teeheehee

[mistyrivers]

where does it say you have to send an email? and where did he say this:


"Thanks Misty, What company do you currently work with?"

At the beginning of the seminar the facilitator said that if you want to get your coffee card you would need to email Nathan Florence to get your coffee card.

I emailed Nathan.

His response was:


"Thanks Misty, What company do you currently work with?"

[Silverhack]

noo link doesnt work anymore

[ihsn]

FYI, update:
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your interest in the Citrix webinar a few weeks ago. For those people that attended – your Tim Horton’s card has been ordered, and you should receive it shortly.

I have not been able to reach out to each person individually yet, however if you had immediate interest, please contact me directly.

Attached is the Whitepaper that we built this web seminar on. Please let me know if you require any further information.

Thanks

XXXXXX

Got my coffee card today!

Spent it all in one visit. Was it worth the seminar, you better believe it!
