What you say simply isn't true. The Free Weekend is offered to all users (past or present) as long as they don't currently have a subscription to Code School.

Time extensions aren't stated because this is a limited-time event.

New Relic is our sponsor, in exchange with the agreement to be contacted by them via email you obtain access to all our content for 48 hours — something that would otherwise cost you $25. Is that really unreasonable?

What did I say that isn't true? Negative T&C gave me pause about trying Code School. This turned me off forever.

> The Free Weekend is offered to all users (past or present) as long as they don't currently have a subscription to Code School.

This is the only statement I see that differs from my interpretation of the T&C. The line in question, "Free Weekend is not available for current or past subscribers and is intended to allow new Code School users to sample the benefits of a Code School education."

How common is it for a current or past user to not have a disqualifying subscription? The wording makes it clear (intentionally or not) that the promo is for new users.

I didn't say it was unreasonable, but that the T&C as a whole appeared to me as overly negative for what they protect, 2 days of free content valued at $25.

> What did I say that isn't true?

Actually, I was wrong. The terms incorrectly stated that past subscribers couldn't have access to the Free Weekend. That's what was untrue and has now been fixed.
