Canuckle Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Haha. I don't think people realize that the public can just buy that Fugees record now given it's over 12 months old (i.e., it is no longer members only, just like all of the 2015 catalog).

You can order as much or as little as you want from the store, but there is an additional shipping cost. The first piece is a set amount (somewhere between $5-8 USD) and then every additional store item after is reduced shipping ($3-5 USD). So if you are going to buy from the store, better to buy in bulk per purchase to talk advantage of the reduce multiple item cost. They will show you the shipping price before you pay as well! The store items usually get shipped out in your next AOTM package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 So not only does my referral link not work, when I asked them for help, this is what I get: " I've contacted our tech people about this and they can't do anything about it yet. If you have you friend sign up now I will manually give credits to both of you. That's the best I can offer right now sorry to say. We've had plenty of issues the past 24 hours and I'm sorry this is apart of the aftermath" Because there aren't 5000 other users with working referral links/codes in this forum alone. They're never getting my money again and I'm already foregoingoing buying anything from their store. And I subscribed for Demon Days last month for the first time. Moral of the story: Referrals only work for veteran users. I'm in Canada; I need the referral codes because I don't get cheap/free shipping and the cost is already much more expensive. FUBAR. Might as well edit my signature and remove the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would an anon on here trust my word about what they said versus clicking on someone else's referral link? Why bother? Really not that hard to figure out what most people would do given those options. Also, "until the issue is resolved" is wishful thinking pulled from thin air.

I'm mad that I couldn't find the widget on the webpage in the first place, but also that when they emailed me a link/code as a fix-around, that fix-around is busted. They've failed twice and it seems new users are shut-out from the referral process to begin with.

Not really comparable. Also not interested in excuses; more revenue means paying for more code-monkeys and server capacity if they care about customer service.

jhulud Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well. It may not be referral code related...but I'm getting the shaft on getting a simple question answered. All I want to know is by reactivating my formerly-known-as-Crate monthly sub, as they pushed to, does it get me in the mix for Tidal. That's all want to know. But nooooooooooo...no reply for almost two days now and of course they're ignoring everyone on FB and Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuses to sit back, count money, and have disgruntled new subscribers. I actually went back and counted and it was 18 messages spread out over 1 month (my link stopped working twice in that time span), so my mistake for misremembering it as taking less time/messages. Still, it's not about the # of messages, the #of days one is a member, or any hyper-specific # totals. It's about your theory that VMP can easily fix a broken referral link in less than 1 day but, for whatever reason, don't want to help you. I don't think that is a reality-based argument but I agree with your feelings that it's upsetting to deal with it right now during peak sign-up periods. I would be upset too.

Unless you were asking them for an exception to be made in your case (or unless I'm completely misreading your question), the answer is that the $6 Crate sub no longer exists. So, you couldn't re-activate to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthyrich Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 If I were you I'd suck it up and get a full membership, as I don't think Tidal will last long enough to get to the Crate folks. (Similar to DD.) And add my name to the list of folks who got shafted on referrals... Not that I would've gotten more than a couple anyway, but the FUBAR site basically killed that right away.

hype Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yeah, if you are really wanting the Fiona I would grab the subscription because there are already a good amount of people that seemed to be hyped about it then you have a massive amount of people who signed up for the Gorillaz that are probably giving it one more month or still on a longer plan so I would say this sells out as well it will just take a little longer.

If you have referral codes and are begging people to use them...post them on your signature. No more "use my referral code" posts on here please.
