crumbs 14,304 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So apparently the 25% discount doesn't apply to shipping, which is certainly sucky for international buyers. However, wouldn't purchasing a gift certificate at 25% off then using said gift card to pay for a CD + shipping achieve the desired result? Or can gift cards not be used to pay for shipping? And what happens with any outstanding amount on a gift card if you only use, say, $100 of a $200 gift card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the system somehow know it was a discounted gift card when you attempt to use it for shipping costs? 3 minutes ago, Jurassic Shark said: Then you keep your gift card code and use it again until it's empty.

I'll keep saving my existing gift cert for higher profile releases and hope they fix this issue with the current sale so I can stock up even more for the future! EDIT: You weren't referring to the bug where the gift cert is only discounted when a CD is also in the cart, were you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but I saw that's an issue on FSM. Guess I'll have to wait until they fix it before purchasing a gift card. I assume you're just sent a digital voucher to your email address? Never purchased an LLL gift card before. Great way to save money though, because likewise there's nothing I really want to buy currently (but with our plummeting Aussie dollar, it's become way too expensive for me to buy from LLL post-Potter, sadly).

Yeah you get a code that you have to hang onto. I created an email folder just for it so I'd always have quick access. This issue got me to make a rare FSM post. It had been close to a year I think.

A shame you can't get the discounted gift card without spending big on an initial purchase though.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 MV responded to me on FSM with this: Quote We can't fix it and this will be the last time we are able to do this. Its not us, it's the other vendors that use our shopping cart software that complained about this situation. They didn't like the glitch in the system and too many customers complained that those sites were not honoring the discount code so the software firm decided to nix the whole thing. However we found another glitch that you can take advantage of in the meantime before their programmers take that out of their shopping cart system as well. Just be thankful you got away with it last July and can still take advantage of it right now. MV Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 You can buy one of their $5 releases for like $3.50. Addams Family is a good one. It's not ideal, but think of the cash savings later with those gift cards. I'm gonna jump on it tomorrow once I get paid. I have two $5 discs in my cart and I'm gonna actually do the gift card thing this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
