My GoDaddy account is currently empty, save for these three last remaining domains, all set to expire on 3/10/12.
Once someone initiates a transfer, I just need to go in once notified via email & say I'm okay with it and forward the EPP code to whomever is transferring the domain, fyi.
I believe that, depending on the new registrar, paying the transfer fees simply extends the domain registration out a year, so there's no reason to wait until March. (That's how it works for
namecheap.com, I know.)
Namecheap has a promotion good today only to transfer a domain from GoDaddy for only 6.99: BYEBYEGD. Their discount code for February is DOMAININ.
