[24va]

CAUTION ONLY APPLIES IF YOU ARE IN THE HANDANGO FREQUENT PURCHASE PROGRAM

Purchased HP12C software from this forum link

Handango is saying that since the purchase originated from the above link that it will not show up in your Handango My Purchases account.

Why is this important? You will not get frequent buyer points and you have to track the purchase separately for software updates.

Thanks for the tip. It sounds like we can't accrue any Frequent Buyer points if we choose to help PPCT. I'll have to balance what I purchase as a result of PPCT and what I purchased based on my own searches.

The following is an excerpt from Handango customer service email I've removed the names and order numbers for privacy:

Your order number x, was not purhcased on www.handango.com, but on the PPC Thoughts site. Again, we are still correcting the My Purchases link and should have this resolved shortly. Please check back later.
Thank you!

That is correct. All purchases MUST be made and originate on www.handango.com.

And when you click on the link to Handango it appears that you are ordering
straight from Handango.

I apologize for the confusion. Because they are one of our affiliates, it actually is being placed from their site since that is where you started at.
