ALC Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 5 minutes ago, cclarry said: Freebie value is based on price paid, and not on retail value...so, in this case, $199.99 Actually, it should be based on the retail price of the SKU, which for the upgrade/crossgrade is $199.99, and not the non-crossgrade SKU of $299.99. If you can pick up a product of the non-crossgrade SKU for less (which has happened in the past), then you'd get onboard at the retail price of the SKU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of getting in at the $199 level and thus get Amplitube 5 but I have already picked Amplitude 5 SE as one of my $149 level picks. It pains me to think that I have wasted a pick. What is a poor boy to do? That's really sad! ? Oh, wait, how much did you pay for that lost freebie again? $0? You'll survive this! ?Just think of all the poor souls that didn't even enter the group buy! ?

If you can pick up a product of the non-crossgrade SKU for less (which has happened in the past), then you'd get onboard at the retail price of the SKU. Which is EXACTLY what I said...PRICE PAID ($199.99)...not retail value. You are technically correct... It's based on the PRICE of the product as sold (which is what I was referencing in response to his question), and not the RETAIL of the product. In this case the retail price of the product was $299.99, and the crossgrade is $199.99. If you buy the crossgrade your freebies will come in at the $199.99 level. Even if you paid $5 for the $199.99 crossgrade, you TECHNICALLY PAID $199.99, and your freebies come in at $199.99.

I know 5 items are a certain but heck you never know When I originally bought into the GB I thought, "This is it. I'll never buy in at the $200 level. May as well pick Amp5 SE because I really want the added features." However, some brilliant person outlined the Gear Credits/Jam Points scheme and now I think I can afford the $200 level as well. Just goes to show that GAS is fickle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not that different. I’ve heard of some folks letting their promotion picks expire so wouldn’t be that different from your sacrificial early pick. Unless of course IK can do something for you….not sure if it’s an option. I thought someone on this thread opened a case and something similar was resolved. Could be wrong. Was one of first posts so may not be that hard to find. Edit: Bapu opened a case on 8/17 and I believe he was allowed to pick something else. I’m not able to link his post. Yup. I found his post. He picked some things he already owned and IKM support unpicked them for him. Not sure my case is similar but it would be worth a try I guess.

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 We have a huge database, it takes time to send. Not 100% sure how it is prioritized/optimized behind the scenes but overall it takes way too long to send to that many while staying safe from spam lists etc. I did check to make sure nobody broke anything, and thankfully that's not the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
