No, a one time code.
UADTUESDAY has just reappeared in my cart after I used it yesterday.
I now have $50 + $25 Thank You code meaning I can grab UA 175B & 176 for $14 :party:
Thank you for mentioning this. I just checked in-cart and my UADTUESDAY code has also come back again after using it yesterday. Sweet (especially combined)!

Instant buy, going to have the full ua collection soon.
$26 per plugin.

This was a perfect month, got also all the good stuff from PA for $10 each

Why don’t I have any thank you coupons or where should I see these? I’ve bought 2 native plugins in the past but never received or saw this.

Third party shop or official shop?

I bought plugins from the original uad site and did not receive coupons. Maybe it's all random.

This time I haven’t received it in email, but it appeared in the cart. Usually it expires after 3 months or so.
Check your cart next day after purchase and save the coupon.

Last night I bought the API 2500 and immediately after bought the API Vision. I bought the Vision channel while I had UA Connect open and was still downloading the 2500, the UADTUESDAY code was right there in the cart ready to be applied like 2 minutes after I had just used it.

Three months?
If we are talking about the thank you coupons, they usually expire a month after they are deposited into your account afaik.

So do I understand this thread correctly that if I buy one of these direct from UAD at $39, I should receive a Thank You code for an additional $25 off my next purchase, which should allow me to buy two plugins at a total of $53?

The thank you code is not guaranteed...apparently they don't always do it..but they do it often.
But if they do in your case, since the UADTuesday has now been rolled over, it will indeed be $53 for the two= $39+$14

Amazing how competing with other Native plugins have brought the UAD prices down to earth.. (and I have been a UAD user since 2005 or so.. and they were always expensive, and when we got them on sale, though still somewhat expensive, because they were on sale we thought the lord had blessed us with manna from the sky and bought it at the sale price)..

Now their native stuff (which allows you to also get the DSP version if you do have a UAD DSP device and account) prices are very competitive.

Yeah, not sure what the trick is to get it. I was surprised to see it available yesterday, so I picked up the Voxbox with both codes.

No thank you code this time.

But, the $50 code is there again.

As a prior non-UA user, It definitely feels that way now (manna from the sky). The timing is absolutely great, and I'm guessing it's no mistake.

I've moved on from Waves, so jumping into Diamond for very cheap was great.

Now, I think they're enjoying adding new buyers into their ecosystem.

Additionally, I'm curious to see what they have coming in November... I'm sure there will be new reasons for all of us new customers to drop more money.
