"Seen your ideal domain name cheaper?
We won't just match it - we'll beat it by 5%*
Simply provide us with your contact details and some necessary information about the domain name you’d like to match. We’ll get back to you ASAP with a coupon code!"
Just came across this on their Facebook page.
This is the first i've come across a registrar offering this sort of thing, so i'd deem it as a deal considering it's a price match type of thing.
$50 cash in VIP Wallet for the referrer after referee signs up to a new hosting service and either a new domain name or transfer an existing domain name, and remains an active customer for at least 60 days
Just transferred some domains to crazy domains, quite happy with them.

lol x2
You have to tell them the domain you want BEFORE you register it?
Sounds like a great way for them to speculatively register it first, then sell it back to you for a much higher price. Then they'll say the 5% discount is for new domains only, this one is already registered sorry.
How do you plan on getting the price match/beat if you were to register it already?
renewal?
I agree, why do they need to know the domain you're rego'ing before you rego it? The domain suffix/type I understand so they can get the pricing, but Zzymurgy is right, it's a great way to steal your domain name before you rego it (Not that I think it would happen in this case)
I don't think VentraIP would actually do that either. But this is an awful idea, luckily they are MUCH better at internet stuff than they are at marketing.
too much trouble having to fil out the form
Nice concept but somewhat defunct if they don't match renewals. You should only use a registrar after checking their renewal prices. VentraIP are pretty good for renewals though so no real issues there.
If you have more than a few dozen domains it's worth looking at reseller packages like Synergy Wholesale to see if your yearly outgoings would be lower.
