Wait, what?!? I know about Vouchers expiring after 60 days, but I had no idea Rewards expire after one year. And Reason has hidden that fact in an FAQ, instead of putting it where it clearly belongs.
yes always thought the same, and that is not strange. no warning can be seen, it doesn't say anything about that Rewards expire.
so it is hidden.
which, to say the least, bad communication.
so the assumption that the Reward Points are there, when you want them is quite legit, so to say.
strangely, the say they expire after one year, but in my case obviously, they didn't. i think for a lot of people.
because managing, to get for instance 100 Reward Points, was buying €2000 worth of Rack Extensions?
as @loque wrote.
indeed 5% of 2000 is.....
but you get 20 for an upgrade. 2 upgrades is 40. i have 59, can't check all reward points, the history is also strangely only the last 5 one.
now that Reward shop becomes interesting, as @lowtom proves, getting Algoritm for €9, is quite nice.
and for me Algoritm for €59, is also nice, lower than any sale price.
at the Reward Store Page, i visited it, in the hope, that some time.. it never did, and of course now about the Reward page, the only thing mentioned about what can expire is, the voucher (which is also strange, why should you let an voucher expire? well NI does it too... but with NI, in my case, never used them, because, again not very usefull for me, can't be exchanged in when something in sale, and well i think i have quite a lot of NI, and don't need more..
but: NI vouchers are for others valuable, they are used. so they work, and give a real discount.).
so what is the deal.
the store has changed, i repeated that in previous posts, and now... again... in a good way....
but still... this again a time limit, as with Reason 12... that i could get 20 points, was, among other things, gladly, the thing that tilt me over, to buy R12 upgrade.
but now i feel again pushed.
ok, others do it too, like NI, Tracktion. for me personal no prob. for others, it is pity.
but that isn't an argument.
and that you only can slowly build up credits/points, to get a real good deal, that makes it stranger.
and why vouchers? it is mentioned before, the pluginboutique method, i don't buy as much any more, or almost nothing, compared, to what i bought every month, for a long time..
the pluginboutique method is nice, the credits are there, and can be used, after months, and you can get something a lot cheaper, if you build it up.
for me, of course, and others, that have 49, for instance, or 76, why not the abilitiy to use them directly; and as 49 or 76, or my case... 59...
o well those 9 euro's, but if you have 76, the 75 voucher has been forgotten........
There's no indication of when my points will expire, nor of when I gained them, so it might be useful to give the user an indication on that front.
