It can take up to 24 hours for you to recieve this email.
To get it sent to you, go to profile > Edit profile and hit Validate email.

i tried it myself after u left m8. it works fine for me. just be sure that the email you trie to validate is correct. did you look at the mail add beside the val button?
does the mail show up in the box? if not or its a wrong one correct it and hit save changes. after that close the window and hit edit profile again. is the mail beside the val button right? hit validate and then you will receive a mail.

Yeah, the email is correct, I received the first email just fine, just not the one with the coupon or whatever (wasnt aware I was supposed to get an email like that until today) I also receive alerts letting me know that new posts have been added to this forum question, so it should work. Ill just wait a little longer and see if I get anything.

You recieve a code that activates your account (Activation code), and then when you validate your email address, it sends the coupon there.
Its to stop accounts from becoming dead weight and users who have fake email addresses just so they could get a free trial code.
If the validation matches with another user, it doesnt give you a coupon, or gives you the same one (thats been used).
I think thats the case anyway...
Best just catch an admin online. See if can he manualy change the flag for you.
