Any update on the TBP discount? I can't get the discount to show up, it always shows $23.95.

Sorry but, the discount is currently not active. Unfortunately, they (BangBros) were having some technical issues and couldn't process the discounted price. We hope to have it available again soon.

Nothing at all.
On 6 April, I used the TBP link to Bang Bros. The sign-up screen showed the $14.95 "special discount" price, so I signed up and started surfing their site. At no time did Bang Bros. advise me that the price I would be charged would be $23.95.
On 9 April, when I checked my Master Card account on line I saw that the charge came in at $23.95. That's when I communicated with Bang Bros. who denied any knowledge at all of the discount and of TBP. They refused to honor the discount.
Then on 9 April I sent an eMail to Khan, (PornUsers.com Sr Admin) which he quickly acknowledged receiving, but I have heard nothing back from him over the past week.
What concerns me is the credibility of TBP's discounts. There's really no way to determine their authenticity until the actual charge appears on a credit card and there's no way to cancel the charge once it has been made. It suggests that you should probably be willing to accept the full subscription price if the advertised TBP price is not honored by a site. And if the full price is too much, simply ignore the offer.
In fairness, I've successfully used the TBP discount on other occasions so I suspect this is a Bang Bros. issue, not a TBP issue. But not having heard anything from Khan other than the acknowledgment, I can add nothing to my initial comments.
EDIT: I see that Khan posted an update today. However my suggestion still stands. If TBP offers a discount and the site does not honor it (as was the case with Bang Bros.) there's nothing that can be done after the fact except to accept the full charge. So it looks like TBP discounts should be viewed as possibilities, not promises.

Yeah, I didn't get the 14.95 either. I got charged by oxideas instead of any of the billing services listed on the site. Did this happen to anyone else?
I was able to cancel via jetbill or whatever it was. I'm scarred that it won't actually cancel. Has anyone else had issues like this with the site? If so, how were they resolved?

I too had the same problem when Bangbros didn't honour the discount rate. And if this happens again, I would not join any sites even there is any promotional discount in the future.

Bottom line, I've taken advantage of several TBP/PU discount offers and all, except Bang Bros, have been honored as offered and all of them were really good deals.
And the folks at TBP/PU immediately pulled the offer as soon as I reported it.
Finally, BangBros belatedly extended my full price membership to make up for the matter.
So I lost nothing except a few minutes of time posting these messages. I suggest staying on top of any deals and squawking immediately if you run into any snags.
