MS Second Shot - designed to rip you off?

MS/ProMetric is heavily promoting the second shot offer - however the date of expiry for those vouchers (and re-takes) is the same date they are setting for taking the first voucher of any new packs bought.
The net result - All test centres are full - and no refund for any unused vouchers.
Was it engineered this way? Certainly forcing a date to take the first exam (and re-take if required) must limit their sales.
In addition - the processing of re-take vouchers seems deliberately sloooow. A 4 day wait and still an error on the request secondshot voucher page that seems hidden!

Microsoft said during last weeks exam cram that only the original exam has a short cut off date, the retake is still out there. It has gone on for months and every thing has an eventual end date. If you believe that it is a ripoff then vote with your wallet. Test prices are going up so they have to stop the current promotion so that prometric and every one involved can retool worldwide.Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of technology?... The Shadow DO
