Certainly can't blame them for placing a limit, it's quite the deal. However, it was frustrating when I already had the $99 deal in my cart, then lost it because I didn't check out before 0 GMT.
Email them graciously, tell them you think they have a lovely service and that the deal is a steal, tell them you lost it right at checkout, and ask if they can take care of you. I'd bet they will, they seem like they're run by nice and smart people.
It's still available... You have to go to the front page ( https://www.23andme.com/ ). From there, you can still see the deal. When you click "Buy" your cart has the $499 price, with a $400 discount.
Awesome, just bought one for myself, my wife and my unborn son. Now I wonder if I can stall on returning his DNA until he's born in June...

Why wouldn't they be able to? A company can take down or put up any offer they want whenever they want. Once they've taken your money you've entered in to a contract with them, but before that they can do whatever they want.

My example is extreme, but shouldn't they have considered that before they posted an offer with only two qualifying statements?! Edit: I'm certainly not a legal professional, so my opinion is not the law. On most print advertisements, I see…
I'm surprised I'm the first to mention this here, am I really the only one that feels this way? I don't want to know what diseases I could have. I'm happy living my life by the day and planning for a future that I'd love to have. I'd hate to discover I'm susceptible to x, y, and z; and that if I were to have a kid it would likely have a, b, c.... I'd rather jus live and let live. No need to worry about stuff that may…
Human genetics research fellow here (well, it's one of my hats). For those of you who signed up for 23andMe, or who wanted to, can you explain your rationale to me?
I would've bought it for $99, but I didn't seem to have access to that deal. I hope I know sooner if it comes around again. The reason is that I have an aunt who's really interested in genealogy. Genetically tracing her heritage back to Lucy seems like an awesome Christmas present; and quite a bit of the health-related stuff should be applicable to me too, if she shared all the data.
