The day after attracting headlines to the White House in which he allegedly offered suggestions on how President Trump can retain power, MyPillow owner Mike Lindell is again provoking controversy.
On Saturday, it was discovered that Lindell’s Chaska is offering discounts for its bedroom products using the promotional code “Qanon”.
Bring Me The News checked the site and found that “Qanon” was in fact an active coupon code at 6:45 pm on Saturday, and entering it at checkout enabled MyPillow’s price cuts.
Additional investigation by QAnonAnonymous podcaster Julian Feeld found that “Q” is also a functional promotional code, as well as the “storm” related to Qanon.
It should be noted that there are many words that serve as promotional codes for the website, which is not surprising, as discounts are a big part of MyPillow’s marketing strategy. Words that successfully activate the same discounts as “Qanon” include “Minnesota,” “Lindell”, “Apple”, “Sale”, “Dog” and “Free”.
But BMTN tried several other words and phrases that did not activate the discount.
Qanon promotes the false and extreme narrative that states that an obscure conspiracy of satanic pedophiles is running a global child sex trafficking network and conspiring against President Donald Trump, with the movement led by an anonymous individual known only as “Q”, who apparently is struggling with the “deep state” from within.

The conspiracy cult has grown prominently in recent years and some of its believers were among those involved in the US Capitol insurrection attempt on January 6.
Lindell, who said he was considering running for governor of Minnesota, was already making headlines this weekend after he attended a brief meeting with President Trump on Friday. Before the meeting, a Washington Post photographer captured an image of the notes Lindell was bringing to the White House.
This included mentions of “martial law” and the “Insurrection Act”, with Lindell later telling the New York Times that he was bringing to the president evidence that the election was “stolen” by China, and that Trump really won by 10 million. wishes.
Last year, Lindell was in the headlines again for promoting the therapeutic oleandrin for unproven coronavirus, which he launched as a “miracle” cure. Lindell was found to be on the board of the company that makes it.
MyPillow employs 1,500 people, most of them in Minnesota, where the company is headquartered in Chaska and a factory in Shakopee.
