Well said…
Once you have EARNED your ‘Rewards Points’ they should be your property to use when you want…
You shouldn’t be held to Ransom into making more purchases to kept your existing Points / Property alive…
This is just complicating the issue all over again with time-scales…
It's a Business Model' that can work Both ways ' Earning more Reward points by spending ' Just a little at a time ' & yes with limited time to Ca$h in the Rewards!
But of course ' The Model is always in Favour of it's owner , That's Business tho !
Sometimes in the past i have purchased more than one Device in the shop ' Today i could buy either Just ' 1 item or 2 ' & earn enough points to get maybe a 3 rd item ?
So it does work to the purchaser's benefit ' it's what it is...
Ps i got Complex Synth with my Rewards after purchasing R12 Update , So i instantly Cashed in the rewards ,
.......... effectively spending less than 30$ for the Update R12 & Now i have Complex too ' Lol
[ Being held to ransom is a bit OTT ] IMO
well, the biggest Reward you had was of course 11 Suite, if didn't have the Rack Extensions. best offer, still...
but for all that didn't bought 11 Suite, or owned most or all Rack Extensions, that came with it.. all loyal customers, that bought Reason, Rack Extensions etc.
yes it is business model. of course. but:
1. but Rewards don't seem to expire. or not within the mentioned 365 days.
2. building up Rewards goes slow.
3. it wasn't clear, on the contrary, only this thread made it clear, and that is only those that are visiting ReasonTalk, o well, it is now on the Reward page as well, don't think you will read it, if you don't know it...
4. james does a great job, to be positive, the Reward Store has become much better. so that is great.
and indeed a Reason upgrade gets you 20 points, and if you have more already, you can indeed buy a great Rack Extension.
but simple fact is this: it was never clear, it is now clear. but it seems it does not work.. you don't know when they expire, and well, a little 'gift', for instance buying an unfinished version of Reason... o well.. all is businnes, but that also includes, how you handle your customers. a good businnes knows that...
but i think we repeat a lot her, i do....
perhaps more information is needed, it is a work in progress, the Reward Shop.
there is also; perhaps Rack Extensions, from Reason Studios, might be in the Reward Shop when there is a Sale... that is not clear yet.
so, 2 things:
1. wait, and perhaps loose Rewards.
2. buy, and see that you have gotten a Rack Extension of Reason Studios much cheaper....
this how consumers (what a word, but you must strangely use this jargon) think of course. we all know about Sales, i consider by the way sale prices the real prices. i mentioned it another thread, in fact perhaps they are really the real prices (just like in supermarkets., which is by the way a fact for some products, the sale prices are the real prices, mostly of known brands, and there a lot of them in a supermarket...)...
