Mouse_99 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I have some bonus points left in my account. They expire on June 1st, I want to buy a P-51 while it's on sale, how do I do that, they show only mileage, how can I apply my bonus points?

Mouse_99 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 They need to clarify the mumbo jumbo as they don't specify how to apply the points, and there is no place to apply those Bonus points, there is a coupon box they specifically state not bonus points and on the payment page, there is no place to add the bonus points.
Worrazen Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I can't find any way to spend the bonus points. Anyone? EDIT: Coupon Code isn't working I would buy JF-17 but none of the bonuses apply. I don't need it in a hurry so I'll wait until these gets sorted. 10% does not apply, it stays the same at 19% with or without the coupon code.

You can only spend the remaining bonuses on products released before August 1, 2019 JF-17 does not participate in the old bonus system. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

At EXACTLY what stage in the purchase do I see my bonus points being applied to the purchase price? :helpsmilie: Thank you.

McG Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Am I right that Bonus Points can't be used towards the F-14?
Cake Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 I have a bunch of bonus points, too. Just bought three new modules, but there was no way to use bonus.... This was a great way to reward us for having bought nearly every module. What a joke. 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT
shaz56 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 just had an e-mail from ED about Bonus points that I have to spend by next month but I have no idea where I can find them. Any clues ? They certainly like to make things more difficult than they have to be, Jesus ! it's hard enough just to learn to fly these aircraft, lol
ac5 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 A joke indeed... I wanted to buy the Mig 19 with my bonuses, no way... It was released before August 1, 2019 no?

lobo Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 I've repeatedly tried to make purchases using the bonus points. The points are not reflected on the price of the module... I cancel the order.

Mirtma Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Same here. Tried to buy some older planes, but nowhere to use bonus points. It only offers me to spend miles.

Zius Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 I have the same problem: bonus points ($25) expiring soon and no apparent way to use them. I have played around a bit and found the following: - Bonus points cannot be used on items on sale - Bonus points cannot be used on new-ish items Since most items are presently on sale or too new, the options are sadly really limited. I did, however, eventually find an item which I could purchase using some bonus points (screenshot attached), but the selection is really limited and you can use only limited points per item. Now I suppose I could pick up all older campaigns but chances are I'm never going to use them. And I'd still be paying real money for them. Personally I wish ED would just convert bonus points into miles and be done with it.

SGT Coyle Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't be easier to list all the eligible Modules, Terrains, Campaigns, and Bundles in the email??? And where they will be applied to the purchase. I can't see any where in the store descriptions under the price the word "Bonus" Edited May 3, 2020 by SGT Coyle Night Ops in the Harrier IYAOYAS

Ganesh Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 It works only for campaigns, because these are not reduced. So I bought the Huey Spring 2025 campaign and immediately destroyed my miles now i feel relieved! But $45 left... Nahh...

They should just give us a straight up credit for these toward any future purchases. 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT
lobo Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I've looked at spending during non sale times and have not seen where the points come into play during the purchase.

Joe Lighty Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Well, I haven't found a way to use these points. It's a terrible system, I know it's been replaced with the "ED Miles" but not a way to impress your long term customers, ED.
Intruder_360 Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Only 30% of use for Bonus Points. I guess it's way cheaper to buy a module on sale, instead of using Bonus Points.

finger Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 +3,please ED how exactly I can spend my bonus point? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
h3pilot Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 The rules are complicated and limiting. - Can't use Bonus points for anything already on sale. - Can't use for anything released after 1 August 2019. - Limited to 20% of the price of the first two items and then an additional 5% for additional items, up to a maximum 60% if you are purchasing 9 items. A simple list of products released before 1 August 2019 would be a nice place to start, though many items are already on sale at more than 20% off. Happy flying!
