Does anyone know: Is JRR the only retailer offering an extra "in-cart" discount?

JRR gives an automatic 5% extra discount in the cart total, and neither of the codes (FORUM or GROUP) add to, or replace, that 5%. I was just wondering if any other retailers were giving any better than the 5%.

EDIT: Quoted wrong number and corrected.

I will probably pull the trigger Komplete9 to Komplete11. Darn good value at $99. its a good sale price to upgrade to Ultimate, but then in the future I will be stuck on a more expensive upgrade every other year, for unknown future content, and truthfully I don't really need most of that stuff anyway. I suppose there might come some day when I wish I had Damage or Action strikes, or whatever...but truthfully I don't need all that stuff enough to pay an extra $200 now and an extra $100 every year or other year for the updates coming in the future.

Upgrading Komplete every other year for $99 give or take has served me well so far.

JRR gives an automatic 5%. Only other thing I know of is Musician Friend's Backstage Pass offering 16% back in rewards, but not in-cart.

anyone know of a good place to get it with free shipping? JRRSHOP charges a lot for shipping, despite $5 discount.

never mind, found it on amazon with free shipping.

Nope, this is a misconception if you upgrade K9 to K11U, you can still later upgrade K9 to K12. That is my plan. Kx every other version, KxU whenever it's worth it to upgrade. I expect that won't be for another four or five versions yet.

If you don't have to pay VAT, timeandspace is cheaper than JRR.

Damn it, this special had to come by when I have no spare cash!!

Hopefully, I'll be able to nab it in a couple of weeks.

If you had Ultimate and then upgraded to Standard, do you lose your Ultimate extras that you had?

And if in an other couple years you go back to Ultimate, do you have to go from that recent Standard to Ultimate or can you still use your older Ultimate > Ultimate?

Why would you?

Again, why? Unless NI changes their longstanding policy of being able to upgrade older licenses at the same prices as newer licenses then there's no reason not to use whichever of your available products to upgrade gives you the best value.

Just bought Kontakt for 49 euros, due to the Sennheiser Drummic'a upgrade offer. Woohoo!
Not sure if I need more atm, as I already have Reaktor 6, but...hmmm... payday soon...(GAS)
