How did they find the code? Brute force?

  Probably. for i := 0; i <= 999999; i++ { code = fmt.Sprintf("%doff", i) } "X% off" codes are pretty common.

  I usually try random codes with the following format: COMPANYNAME15, COMPANYNAME20, etc. Every once in a while (maybe 10% of the time?) I get lucky.

    WELCOME10, WELCOME20, etc also work a good amount of the time. A lot of the sign up for our mailing list and get a discount promo codes match up to WELCOME plus the percentage off.

  "5000off" sounds like the discount code equivalent of "password" as a password. So probably just a wild guess as a joke but then it wasn't a joke.

  If 5OFF worked why not try 500/5000off?
