Due to a server issue, your order could not be processed instantly. This typically happens when the manufacturer runs out of codes - usually during periods of very high volume. You don’t need to do anything on your end, as we will be notified of the issue, and your codes and download instructions will be sent via email as soon as this issue is resolved." But the order went through and I received a confirmation. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 38 minutes ago, HOOK said: And again, on Wednesday: Hey all, I want to add a little clarity here. There was a time where we were going to add a FEW plugins to the Creative/Mix/Diamond and offer grace period free updates to many users. Instead, we decided to make new bundles and add TONS of new plugins to each. No one that bought the previous bundles was promised or was ever going to get ALL the plugins we added to the new bundles. The cross grades mentioned below represent a FAR greater value than the free updates we were planning at one point, and further apply to all buyers and not just some that fall into a grace period. So all previous buyers are FOR SURE in a better place after the cross grades than they would be otherwise. I, of course, understand that some users will still say, I wish I had waited and bought Signature and not Mix or Diamond last year etc. We can all say that about almost every transaction we’ve ever made. Here are the crossgrade offers: Creative to upgrade to Producer for $50. Mix to upgrade to Studio for $100. Diamond to upgrade to Signature for $150. These cross grades are priced at approx $8-12 per plugin. These are obviously crazy good deals. Never before seen by us. Drew Mazurek Old news, I’m afraid. That very same Drew confirmed the AudioDeluxe and PlugInDiscounts deals later on, and added that people who paid $299 for the Signature bundle will get $150 back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sd Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) They just sent me an email offering the bundle for $107 w/ code directly from their site … ??. I’ll most likely go for it * for studio bundle only. I’m out again! ? Edited November 17, 2023 by sd Words 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxiousmofo Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) I was waiting for this same deal to pop on UA website, in hopes of getting a loyalty coupon. They said on the forum they were going to send out an email today to existing bundle owners offering the same Signature deal direct from UA. Then they send out that email, but it is only a coupon for lower tier bundles unless you owned Diamond. What the ever loving hell. I snoozed, I got confused, I lose. I should have jumped earlier. Congrats to all who did. Man this burns my *****. EDIT: Sorted it out with support once again after more back and forth. Purchase made. I have to give credit to their support despite UA's overarching poor sales messaging. Edited November 17, 2023 by Anxiousmofo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might just not use any of the plugins for like 3 months. Just in case. It's not like I actually needed any of them anyway. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yan Filiatrault Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Same here. I own Diamond and a couple more, wrote to them Tuesday to request a discount for Signature, no answer, then now a 100$ rebate for Studio. They are so lame, it’s not even funny anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtles101 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I guess things must be a real mess over at UA right now. That's strange that they are giving some Diamond bundle owners the upgrade offer for Studio instead of Signature. I bought Mix and they allowed me to get the Signature upgrade for $150. I was hoping that they would allow us to stack additional coupons on this offer, but of course, they didn't. That 20% off coupon would have been nice to use with this deal.

The logistics of them recalling keys sold by various 3rd party sellers & partners is kinda insane. They'd bonk everyone over. I seriously doubt they'd do it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteven Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Just got my upgrade offer from UAD via email. Waiting to hear from PluginDiscounts if they are able to fulfil my order or will be refunding my money. Note: I also got an offer from UAD for UAD Producer Edition for $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugin Discounts were still up. I did see someone placed an order at AudioDeluxe afterwards, so they might have needed to check/refresh keys or something Kal. Looks like they pulled them both for now though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jngnz Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Quote Hey all, Those dealer offers were mistakenly put online this AM. Anyone that used them will either have it go through (if it was done early enough) or have the deal cancelled/refunded. We are now working on an email to all eligible previous bundle owners (minus those that have already received the coupon and upgraded) with a direct offer. We're talking about Creative/Mix/Diamond bundle purchasers. Essentials is not part of this, not is Ultimate or Complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took screenshots of the product listing saying ANY bundle, so I'd still challenge it. Afterall, it was UAs terrible handling of the situation that caused people to go that route. It might be a little more grey for anyone that didn't own A bundle at all prior, but even still I reckon a lot will get to keep them if they moved quick by the sounds.

My serial came through after like 30 seconds, so I'm afraid you're likely out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I'm all good, I tested it on myself and made sure it worked before posting this deal and got my keys in seconds too. More so just if UA tries to reverse it for not owing Diamond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) PluginDiscounts refunded my purchase and I received the following email: Quote As many of you may have already heard... The UAD Signature Edition Crossgrade deal was apparently listed to their dealer portal by mistake. Our server is linked to UA’s servers, and when they discovered the mistake. They shut off the flow of codes before notifying us of the problem. In the gap of time (30-60 mins) between when they ended license distribution - and we were told about the problem - orders made it through and were not processed. You are getting this email because yours was one of them. And, while at first this appeared to us as a normal server issue - and we approached it as such - it was not. We had no idea that there was a mistake while orders were being placed. Despite our best efforts - and multiple emails and phone calls - UA has cancelled all unprocessed orders. I have heard, they will be emailing customers today directly about upgrade options. I’m sorry. We are processing refunds now and we must go through each - one by one. I’ll make sure all of them are processed before I leave the office today. It may take a few days to reflect on your credit card statement. Again, my apologies. No bad feelings towards PluginDiscounts. In the end it worked out in my favor. I turned around and bought it at UAD using a $25 coupon/voucher that would have expired Dec 1st.
