I've been replacing the Q with A-Z (minus Q) and trying those as promo codes...but I'm missing a step before that, aren't I?
For example, I've tried the following codes (none valid):
Y[A-Z, except for Q]FUCNXG
ZN[A-Z, except for Q]HFXHS
If the key is "florida" and the cipher is Vigenère Cipher, then

Yeah, you have to convert them first using the key. The cipher is likely the Vigenère Cipher
In 'The Shawshank Redemption' (1994) the camera shows Brooks leaving with the prison in the background, highlighting his hesitance to let go. When Red leaves, the camera faces outward, symbolizing his readiness for a new life beyond the prison walls, free from institutionalization.
Later in the movie, Brooks ends up taking his own life, not ready for the real world after being in prison his entire adult live, while Red ends up reunited with his friend from Shawkshank, Andy on a remote Mexican beach. Basically I'm Red, and you helped me get out.
I've tried many times, but the result is still wrong. I have to say, I've been looking at your records and searching for solutions, but unfortunately, I failed.
@Wonder_Woman said: Where [A-Z] literally means we have to try each letter in that position one at a time. I've tried like 5 out of 8, but maybe I missed a letter?
We don't. I've tried all of Y[A-Z]UGLFUG. Not Florida. Oh well

If the key is "florida" and the cipher is Vigenère Cipher, then
Would be
and we have to replace the letter where the Q was in the encoded code, if my understanding is correct.
So
YNQYZEOL -> TCCHRBOG
TC[A-Z]HRBOG
Nooo I think I am stuck, online tools are slow and I want to write script but I should go back to work
And we're still guessing what the key is? Hmm
Edit: saw your update. Still hmm lol
Side note, I've tried most of them and I'm starting to not feel so confident in either my understanding nor the key.

Hell of a movie.
Anyway, hopefully you find your codes and 'drink it while it's cold ladies'
@Kris :O
@Wonder_Woman is there anything I can brute force / dummy work, do to help?
My brain is already fried from spending way too many hours and I'm not even sure at which steps we're at exactly.
I was now busy using "YNQYZEOL" and then replacing each letter position with a candidate letter and then testing all 8 and moving on to the next...
but getting the idea that not what I'm meant to do at all right now?
So if you can give me 5th grader instructions / website / steps to do to help, I'm all willing
Yeah I was trying florida, FL, etc but felt like it wasn't working either. sounded like it would fit though
Anyone try Miami, a PoP in florida?
What location do you want and specs?
In honor of there being only 25~ minutes left, the key is not Florida.

Okay, assuming that we've got everything correct, we would all need to try entering the following as promo codes
TC[A-Z]HRBOG
XMSGDM[A-Z]M
[A-Z]QUGXDVP
[A-Z]WPDCCZO
EV[A-Z]JXYRH
D[A-Z]KINVAC
Y[A-Z]UGLFUG
UC[A-Z]QXUHN
Where [A-Z] literally means we have to try each letter in that position one at a time. I've tried like 5 out of 8, but maybe I missed a letter?
Well shit
@VirMach just confirmed we didn't get everything correct.
Don't worry about me :-D

The key leans very much into "follow" the sign, as in direction.
We don't. I've tried all of Y[A-Z]UGLFUG. Not Florida. Oh well
Anyone have any good ideas on what the key could be?
The hint was:
the key to the next cipher can be found on the first page of the thread follow the sign
Based on the sign, highway, begin, and north could be likely candidates. Assuming that's even the sign he was referring to...> @Wonder_Woman said:

North?
I'll try

Hang on, we have the wrong key so the combos will be different
Sounds like it.
Miami?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_1_in_Florida
Goes through Miami country, other towns ensue. Pointing north from Key West
Unless they mean the post 'north' of the sign.
Edit: it also feels a bit on the nose that the sign is for "Florida Keys"
Okay, if the key is NORTH, then
LZ[A-Z]FSRAU
PTWAPT[A-Z]K
[A-Z]QJCKUPK
[A-Z]REMOGAR
VF[A-Z]BUVPI
T[A-Z]YAUZUO
F[A-Z]SGLUQT
LW[A-Z]ASJQZ
sign in ?
