In addition, DreamHost is strict with Chinese users. They often suspect that there is something wrong with the discount code you use. Chinese users cannot enjoy special discounts, such as: DreamHost777 discount code. Now they won’t even give you discount codes for normal promotions, if they are a little suspicious of you. This is the reply they gave me a few days ago:

I'm very sorry but due to very hight rates of fraud promotional codes and

discounts are not available to customers from China. Therefore we cannot

offer you the $69.40 price.

If you'd like to keep you account and you domain you'll need to pay the

full $119.40 price per year.
