I placed two orders with the code, though only one of them had the "super" deal applied. The less discounted order is still valid, but I got the same e-mail about the other order.
This just screams bad business. It has to be some employee/higher up trying to cover his ass. But, what if, instead of pissing off all the customers who thought they had orders placed a month out before Christmas who will now need new items within 10 days, they simply acknowledged their mistake and even turned it into a promotion? Be upfront. Be honest. And quite frankly, turn the "disaster" into free marketing drawing in new and more customers. Hell, even refernce it in a new promotion.
