Just got mine. Took about a week after ordering. As others mentioned, it would have been nice if the voucher number could be emailed. Other than that, be aware, that the expiration date on mine was 04/30/2005. So, unless you plan on taking the exam in the near future don't expect it to be good for very long. I kinda figured that expiration would be in April 2005 since Amazon puts the voucher release date at April 2004 and it was confirmed when I received mine.

I just wonder how long they will sell this batch until they realize its getting too close to expiration.

Voucher is good, just as advertised. It was the lowest price I could find on the Internet. Amazon delivered it to me on the 7th day after I placed the order. Don't expect much for the sample questions on the CD though. I had to manually register a bunch of ocx to make the practice test program work. After that much trouble, it gave me only 10 questions per exam!

Buying my voucher online and living in New Jersey has saved me $19.00 with the no tax option available and the no shipping charges using the super saver selection for delivery. Anytime I can save money on a Microsoft exam I think it's a great deal, the $125.00 voucher from Microsoft ends up costing me $106.00 total. But the whole process seems like we are living in the Dark Ages. You purchase the voucher from Amazon which you first have to login to Amazon.com with a valid email address and password to start the transaction, not a problem. The problem is you have to wait 5 to 9 days for you voucher to be delivered by the Pony Express. It's a voucher, email me the voucher I can print it. The instructions tell you up front you will have to register with VUE online only. HELLO! all you need is a string of about 15 numbers to enter into the VUE webpage when asked for the voucher number. Send me the voucher number in an email instantly or the next day and then you will have an excellent program. I can wait a week or two for the CD case to pop up on my front door step.

The voucher worked like advertised. If you read the description it tells you that it can only be used at VUE testing centers. I don't understand what the others are complaining about. Just make sure there is a testing center near you. My only suggestion to Amazon would be to eliminate the delivery by mail. All you need is the voucher number. Amazon should be able to email it to you instead of mailing it.

This item arrived within a week of ordering. The voucher code worked as expected at the [...]site and the test was scheduled. What more is there to ask? The free software provided is just north of worthless, so don't buy the voucher based on the included questions. Buy it instead to save a few bucks as long as there's no rush (read: under a week) to take your Microsoft exam.

In my experience I've noticed that the expiration date will be between 7 and 10 months from the time that you receive your voucher. Not too bad.
Good luck to all!

It worked great for me and saved 19 dollers.
If you live in a state where TAX is not applicable
and use free shipping, then you save with this product.

BE AWARE of an Issue:
I received the CD in 3 days after i placed order. I felt
great on shippment time, but when i was trying to use it
i noticed that the Voucher Number was not printed on the CD
cover (Voucher). Without this Number, the product is of no
use.

I called the amazon, the customer service person though
did not understand about the Voucher, he was very kind and
place me an order for another Voucher with 2 day shipment.
I am waiting to check the new voucher.

Please check your CD cover (Voucher) for Voucher Number and
Expiration Date.

Saved 15% off this standard MCP exam price. Free shipping, no sales tax for TX. Know what you are buying before hit the purchase button.
1. This voucher is only for Pearson VUE test center.
2. MS second chance offer applies to this voucher. Even though you can't enter the promotional code at time of web registering for the exam, you can call in to register for 2nd chance.
3. There is expiration for the voucher, so take the exam before the expired date.

The voucher worked flawlessly for me in Columbus, Ohio. The online registration was quick and painless. Amazon.com does not charge sales tax on orders shipped to Ohio. By purchasing this voucher with free super saver shipping, I ended up shaving just under $20 off the price of the exam. By joining the Amazon.com Associates program and clicking on the link on my website, I received about $4 in 'commission' for the 'sale'.

The only way I can see this voucher approach being a problem is if you had to take the test on short notice, but those who plan ahead always stand to save and this is no exception. Buy the voucher with the exam guide and you'll have it in plenty of time.

Watch the expiration dates, though. Be sure you can actually get to the testing center to take the exam before the voucher expires as they are not refundable and the expiration date cannot be extended, according to PearsonVUE.

Also note that the voucher is good ONLY at PearsonVUE centers, but that is clearly stated in the product description, so the other reviewers complaining that other exam centers wouldn't accept it have a reading and/or comprehension problem, something that will be detrimental to them on the exam in more ways than one.

These vouchers are perfectly good, and a good price. The prep software is mediocre, but basically you're getting it for nothing. HOWEVER, be aware the vouchers are good for one year from the date they were "published" NOT one year from when you buy them. So be sure to look in the details section where it says the publisher is Microsoft and has a date -- the voucher is good until one year after that.

This voucher is ONLY good at VUE testing centers - not Sylvan Prometric! Be sure you know where you want to take your exam BEFORE even CONSIDERING this voucher!
