Like a lot of Prometric users I received 4 emails containing:

N/A,

Here is your Microsoft Virtualization voucher number: ***********
TO SCHEDULE YOUR EXAM:

Visit http://www.prometric.com/microsoft, click the “START” button to schedule your exam – and when prompted enter in your voucher number (listed above). The price that will display on the screen is the price of your exam.

If you are one of the first 1,000 to register and you pass your virtualization certification exam by June 30, 2011, you will receive your complimentary TechNet Subscription information on or before July 15, 2011 via email. The message will be sent to the email address you provided when registering, and you will need to activate your subscription before accessing the benefits.

Good luck!

This is a promotion for Microsoft Technet Subscriptions, when scheduling this exam you can fill in the voucher code and you will get 100,- euro discount. So no discount on the exam or free exams but a badly communicated promotion because this isn’t clear from (all 4!) emails from prometric.

Update:

Shortly later I received the following email:

 

Please DISREGARD the Microsoft Virtualization Voucher Email just received

Please disregard the email you just received regarding your Microsoft Virtualization Voucher. It was sent in error. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will be in touch shortly regarding your Microsoft Virtualization Voucher.

Thank you,

Prometric
