To permanently lower the price two days later to €249,- makes the discount code "system" (like HtheB so eloquently puts it) bullsht.
Honestly, if they give a 100€ discount for buying a third-party-product, it's quite clear a price cut is near. Same for giving out the discount codes to jolla owners before. I guess with their help most people here on TMO would have been able to buy the device for 249€ anyway, with or without keyboard OH.

I just noticed that I never got any discount code from my TOHKBD2 purchase. Not needed really either, since I already have a Jolla device but strange if you all others have received it...

I asked about if from my sysop and it turned out that Kickstarter is using a known spammer-friendly mailforwarder that has been blacklisted by our systems.
Shame really, I wonder why they selected that one? Could be it is a cheap alternative...
So, for that reason I cannot get anything from Kickstarter. Too bad

And I do know at least one person, which got so upset by these strange discount actions and the following discussions/behaviour of their (Nokia style) customer care, that he sent it back to Jolla.

So, people here complained because Jolla smartphone price was EUR350-400. Now people complain that Jolla smartphone costs only EUR249.
My opinion is that Jolla smartphone at EUR249 means :
1) Jolla wants to sell more smartphones at reduced price to cover the gap until Jolla 2 smartphone is selling;
2) a new Jolla 2 smartphone is due to be announced in the following months (MWC 2015 ?);
3) Jolla 2 smartphone to be released depending on the new display resolution for Sailfish OS (2.0 ?) being ready (in mid 2015 ?).Jolla cited in 06/11/2014 :
Apart from finalizing update10, we will start the following activities:
...
- start the work on platform UI scalability, beginning with making
icons resolution independent and improving layout scaling.

So the work on Sailfish OS 2.0 for Jolla tablet will be useful to Jolla 2 smartphone.
They act like "Hey you are getting a discount because YOU are special!!" and the very next day "We lowered the price to everyone, screw you discount codes!"
So there is no thing as discount codes
The only day that the discount code were useful was when they made an error. You could then buy the Jolla for €150, now THAT is why discount codes are for
