you dont really have to buy anything. half way through checkout create an account. dont buy anything and checkout with $0.00. you will receive a conformation email in 24hrs stating your godaddy.com code to redee a free domain name.
hurry up before this glitch is found and reported on digg.com or slashdot and is fixed.

I did it and it all went through, but no free domain name yet, pretty cool trick, but don't you have to pay for bandwith or something? Or you just get the name and have to host it yourself?

owning a domain name and having hosting are 2 completely different things. this just gives you a domain name. you still have to decide what to do with it.

Thanks very much for the tip, hopefully this is still working.
Out of interest, did you find it yourself, or hear about it from someone else?
Edit: oh, by the way, did you get the redeem code immediately after checkout, or e-mailed to you?

i hope this works. did you email give you any details? I had an account with them for a year. The download speed from the server was about 250k/sec. I ftp upload to them at 40k. Its not a bad service. Even to pay for it is like $10 a month for 2 gigs on the server.

i received the email saying my order was aproved. now i am just waiting for the next email telling me how to redeem the domain name. i would only use godaddy as a registrar. i would forward the domain to my nameserver so i can use it elsewhere.

Yeah, seems it didn't work 
but still, thanks for the heads up, it was worth the effort for the potential reward
