I do enjoy the image, though, of General Zod crawling out of bed at 3am for a $2 code.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

There would be a lot of unintelligible swearing and stumbling around. The code would probably expire by the time I was coherent enough to put it in my phone. Then there would be more swearing until I finally fell back asleep

Likewise ...won't care and won't go through the effort unless the total is $50 or more.

I've missed all but a dollar and I realized I don't really care. I might officially be over Sideshow. I remember the first couple years I would wake up in the middle of the night for these things. I guess $50 off a $350 statue was a lot different than $30 off a $600 statue.

Why not just enjoy the fun of it. I doubt the majority of people care about getting 1 or 2 dollars in rewards. It's not about the actual money, is it? It's just the fun and satisfaction of snagging a code. At least for me. People really need to lighten up.

It's not really about that. The problem is they destroyed the fun of this event a couple years ago. I'm not sure what exactly did it, but I think a lot of people would agree.

Well that is completely non-specific. I have been doing this for years, and continue to enjoy it. Sorry you don't, since I am pretty sure it is supposed to be fun
