remi Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Hi, I am a huge fan of Eagle Dynamics, and I am so excited that they are releasing so many modules. I have spent $764.78 to purchase all the modules, even modules that were included as free upgrades for flaming cliffs owners. I have $147 in bonus money, but for some reason I am never able to actually use the money. I purchase all the modules as soon as they are available for purchase, at the full price, but my bonus money can never be applied to even part of the value of the module. I have so far been unable to ever use the $147 bonus money. Will I ever be able to use the money if I stay loyal to Eagle Dynamics and purchase modules when they are released? Also, if I were to wait for the 70% flash sales, I would be giving less money to Eagle Dynamics, which I do not think is fair to ED. Can Eagle Dynamics please reconsider the bonus system policy? How about letting users who have over $50 or $100 in bonus money be able to use it towards pre-sale purchases? What about portions of the pre-sale value? What about using the bonus money to purchase campaigns or maps? As it stands now, I will never be able to use the $147 in bonus money. Thank you, and please continue making the modules! I will always be a loyal supporter. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
dotChuckles Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Yep. I am in a very similar situation. Never able to spend my bonus bucks! Needs a bit of a rethink. I understand that pre-sale items are already discounted, but then in order to spend my bonus on anything, I have to wait until release. Where is the incentive in that? ;-) I have to wait... and at the same time, I don't provide any support to the developer during development. The bonus does seem a little bit of a hollow gesture if you're a loyal fan. Fine for someone who is getting into it now and wants to build up their collection, but where is the reward for the people who have been in it since Flanker 1.0? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Exorcet Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 The bonus doesn't seem to be for people that buy everything, it's for the people that buy here and there. I'd agree that large bonus should get less restrictions. However at the moment, the best you can do is use flash sales if you buy all modules. If you don't want to pay too little, only use flash sales occasionally.

theGozr Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Yes Thanks wanted to be sure.. hummm Bonuses are used for partial payment for products at the rate of 1 bonus = 1 ruble, 1 euro, or 1 dollar. A product can be paid by use of bonuses no more than 30% (thirty percent) of the full product price Now I remember why we bought KA50 in Russia :)\ Fly it like you stole it..
remi Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 The bonus doesn't seem to be for people that buy everything, it's for the people that buy here and there. I'd agree that large bonus should get less restrictions. However at the moment, the best you can do is use flash sales if you buy all modules. If you don't want to pay too little, only use flash sales occasionally. Unfortunately, when ED announces the pre-sale of each new module, I hop on the store immediately and pre-purchase the module. If I continue this current streak, I will end up with $250+ in bonus money in the next 2 years. There has to be some kind of mechanism for people like me to use the bonus money. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Schmidtfire Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I recently bought the L-39, using part of my bonus-money :thumbup: The pre-sale was 39.99$ and I got the module for 35$ (full-price 49.99$ - 15$ bonus). Not a huge saving, but still cheaper than the pre-sale. Sales are very welcome, but few of us enthusiasts have the patience to wait :music_whistling:

aceviper Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Great..just got the L39 for 25.99 using accumulated bonus. Thanks ED:thumbup:
sobek Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Weird, doesn't work for me. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Yurgon Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Is there anything we have to do in order to make this work? With or without login, I can't get the L-39 Albatros to show less than 49$ although I currently have 51$ bonus available.
aceviper Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) There is a tick box to use internal account to pay...tick it!!!:bash::clap_2: Edited October 16, 2015 by aceviper
NeilWillis Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 The one thing I could have used my bonus points for would be to purchase a copy of the NTTR map to use on our dedicated server. It is a pity that cannot be included in the bonus event. Any chance we can use them for that ED?

aceviper Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 When will this box appear? After Checkout? No I definitely saw it before a final purchase click and the price dropped :thumbup:
remi Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Thank you guys for offering the ability to use more bonus money towards purchases! Didn't work for me, because I own all the modules, so there's nothing left to buy. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

However, I've gone through the entire store and profile and basket pages about a dozen times by now and can't find anything of the kind. Can you be more specific where this tick box should appear?

aceviper Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Hi Yurgon I use paypal so let me try to remember the procedure as I cant replicate it now. Checkout....went go paypal..bounced back to final review page and there is the checkbox about using your internal account to pay. In reality it was a blur as I was excited about the chance to get the L39 for half price. Sorry I cant remember more.....but trust the force and go for it. 1
Body Farm Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Hi Yurgon It is in the "Complete Order" screen AFTER you press the check out button in your cart (and after you agree to the End-User License Agreement) And it is before paypal or any sort of payment. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Icarus1976 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I have ten bucks in bonus money but I'm broke. So I can't buy anything. Sorry ED. :( My YouTube-Channel <--:thumbup: :joystick: :pilotfly:

Thanks, found it. ;) In a way it makes sense to put it there, but I never thought of clicking "Checkout" before any kind of bonus was applied. L-39, welcome to my hangar, and thanks ED for finally letting us make good use of this bonus. :)
mjmorrow Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) I think it would be nice if we could put bonus money toward gift certificates and if we could donate our bonus points to players looking to buy add-ons, but lacking the funds to do so. Some of us have ten or twenty dollars in bonus points. If a few of us could donate our points to players lacking funds for a full price add-on, these players could get up to 50% off the price of a ride. That may not allow all players lacking sufficient funds to buy a add-on, but some players may be able to do so. :thumbup: MJ Edited October 18, 2015 by mjmorrow [sIGPIC]http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/mjmorrow76/SPAD%20of%20a%20new%20generation_zpshcbftpce.png[/sIGPIC]
