PA March voucher just landed in my inbox.

[escalona]

Anyone get a March PA voucher yet?

Nope...

I just did.

[Ou_Tis]

Exactly $300 was indeed enough for the $50 voucher.

[Digivolt]

Yep got mine too

Got mine a few minutes ago...
With the recent 24 hour promotions at Plugin Alliance and no end of the month sale, it does make it a bit more complicated to figure out what to get when not to mention that there's been a new plugin released (or two, three..) almost every month.

I will say that having the voucher every month has probably been very good for PA. While it's not everyone that feels like they have to use their voucher, there are many, including me, that are influenced by it. I know I'm always thinking that I don't want to let my voucher go to waist and look for something to spend it on. Even if I only pay $4-$50 (or more) for a plugin, it's $4-$50 that I probably wouldn't of spent in the first place.

For me the vouchers are pretty much useless now, as you cant use them most of the time.
The way it is now, they have decided what they want you to pay for sale items and thats it.

You can combine the monthly vouchers and the special coupon codes, for example last month I used a coupon code for the $29 price with a $25 voucher to get ACME Opticom for $4.

When they say "This is a FIXED PRICE offer" they just mean that dynamic discounts don't apply: "This is a FIXED PRICE offer! The price for this product will not change if you add more plugins to your order. But you will get dynamic discounts of 20-60% on any additional plugins you may purchase."

Hmm, everytime I have tried that it wont accept a 2nd voucher.

Yeah I think its a win win situation. They've managed to keep peeps coming back for more even when said peeps dont need more. Its the modern 'problem', there is so much out there and plenty of quality stuff to try out despite a perfectly good tool set in each of our plugin folder.

Its what I love and hate about my addiction to kvr Buy and Sell sections - Im continually trying and buying new things because the sales and bargains pop up and feel like Im gaining something by buying so cheap. Meanwhile Ive spent FAR more than I need or should need. But I factor in the fun element in all this bargain hunting, a cost for trying new things at prices I can convince myself are worth it.

Im so grateful I no longer receive PA vouchers as like you Id spend or rather find a reason to spend. Just one less thing to worry about in my life

[GreyLion]

Is there any way to get a separate PA voucher and deal discussion stickied? This s**t is endless and repeated over and over at great length every month. And it's always the same, though the plugs are different.

[pekbro]

Also, I own easily 70% of their plugins, this qualifies me for upgrades and whatnot.
Their system takes precedence on these applying them automatically. I can only
see the base price on a few items.

Anyway, I'll have a look. TBH I am weary of them anyway. I was dropped down
to the $25 from $75 when they changed things. I have spent enough to move
back up. I will only get the higher voucher if I ask them for it, they tell me
the system is slow to catch up. It has been 6 months, still only getting the lowest tier.

I am seriously tired of dealing with it...

Same here.
