Baffled Buy.com and Google Checkout -- GRRRR!

Does anyone know how to get the $10 for using Google checkout the first time??? I am so ticked at them both that I could scream!

I have been trying to get a Bluetooth headset from Buy.com and they still have it listed on their website that you can get $10 for first time users of Google checkout, although a search on Google says that is has been discontinued. It is also listed as still available at several referral sites when I search for "Buy.com deals".

Anyway, I get to the check out, click on "Google Checkout" and enter my info and click then a red "Click here to continue" comes up and it gets stuck there. No matter how many times I click on it, nothing happens. I finally do a refresh and my cart comes up but there is NO $10 discount with it! Yet when I go into my account on Google, all the information that I have entered is there. I have deleted all my info from Google and tried again and the same things happens.

I have emailed both buy.com and Google about this, but can't get an answer from either of them. I would get the stupid thing from Amazon, except that they upped the price on theirs by $8 in the last week, yet I think the buy.com order is actually fulfilled by Amazon and they have it for the old price of 41.99.
