Have they reconsidered or do they only offer it by email? Or to "better" customers with more registrations? I was told in May or early June no more coupons. If they had offered coupons, I would have registered the whole litter individually as well. Without the coupon discount, the AKC can wait as the registrations trickle in.
At AKC the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing except they know how to grab up the dollars.
This is such Bull$hit. Stop bashing the AKC. They spends millions of dollars to fund canine health research, fund search and rescue programs, fund special programs that helps both people and their dogs and makes available tons of educational material about responsible ownership among many other things they spend those dollars on. Just shows what an idiot you are and how little you know about the AKC.

You're the type of person that causes problems on here deliberately. You don't call other breeders idiots, that's bashing.
We're all entitled to our opinions. No matter what you said, I feel AKC is out for the almighty dollars they make. Plus, their workers aren't terribly bright at times. That was my point and it remains my point. $ and inferior clerks bother me about AKC. I rarely get a clerk with a brain in their head, sometimes once In a blue moon. :(
You know who else bashes the AKC? The radical animal rights groups. They are out to discredit the AKC much in the same way as "Cuz". The AKC does not support much of the anti-breeder laws and opposes the HSUS and other animal rights groups. The ar groups feel that if they can take out the AKC we will fall along with it. Now is not the time to bashing them. The AKC is doing a lot to try to stop many of these I, for one, will continue to give AKC my full support if for no other reason than this alone.
First of all, I am NOT an AR person. I'm a Lab Breeder for over 2 decades breeding 1 to 2 litters per year at the most.
I guess I chose a touchy time to be upset with AKC. You 'The bigger picture' explained it differently. You didn't call me an idiot. The other poster was down right nasty never bringing up recent, possible legislation.
I've signed the petitions as I have nothing to hide. The bill is horrible and we need to work on it together with other breeders of all breeds. It can effect all of us.
For now, I'll shut my mouth about AKC's practices because of what's going on. After, I can't say.
Thanks for bringing the correlation to my attention ;The bigger picture;.
Unfortunately when I called today, I was told there are no coupon codes for registration. They haven't been printed yet for 2014. I reminded him this is May already. When will they be printing the coupon codes up? I was told not yet. I did come home and send an email to info@akc.org I am hoping to hear back from them soon regarding a coupon code. I will post an update once I hear back from their customer service department. The guy I spoke to on the phone did not speak very good English and it was very hard to understand him.
When I called a few weeks ago, I was told the program had been discontinued. However, if you register all the puppies in the litter, they will send you a code for a future litter.
If it doesn't have an expiration date, that may be OK for those of us who don't breed multiple litters every year. Otherwise it is worthless. We shall see.
