Default Subscriber Discounts Page Launched

http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/discounts.php

I'm pleased to announce that our subscriber discount page has been launched. Here are the coupons we'll be releasing to all subscribers in the coming months (a new coupon every two weeks, chosen in a random order):

� 50% off Mastersoft Money v.3.58 from Mastersoft Mobile Solutions
� 33% off Pocket Backup Plus from Sprite Software
� 25% off Agenda Fusion from DeveloperOne
� 25% off any Two Peaks software title
� 15% off any application through Handango
� 15% off any WebIS application (Pocket Informant, WebIS Mail, Journal Sync)
� $7 off any Ilium Software title
� 20% off any Resco Application
� 20% off several Clickgamer games
� 15% off Repligo from Cerience

Additionally, we're ready to distribute the PDAMill application codes: as a subscriber you'll get your choice of any one of the following applications, each worth $9.95: EZNote, Gamebox Classic, Snails, Gamebox Solitaire, or TopKey. And there's two more free surprise applications coming from another developer - an extra bonus for being a subscriber!

One thing I want to address is the matter of rotating the coupons in one at a time. I know that as a buyer, you want to have access to all the coupons immediately. But as a developer, you'd want your application or company to have a bit of time in the spotlight, wouldn't you? So rather than putting up all the coupons at once, I'm going to put up them up one at a time, two weeks apart, in order to give the developer some exposure to you, the subscriber. I hope everyone can understand why I'm doing this - I need to balance the needs of you, the subscriber, and the developers who are giving you these awesome coupons.

If you're a subscriber, go visit the discount coupon page and grab a great PDAMill application to have fun with over the weekend!

A small question (sorry if I missed it), I assume each coupon (like 15% off from Handango, 25% off any Two Peaks, etc) can only be used once per person? I mean, they track it to your customer account?

I believe so, yes, but to be honest a lot of that will be up to you to figure out. ;-) Some of the developers gave me Handango coupons that will only work in the Pocket PC Thoughts Handango store, while others gave me coupons that work only in their stores. I don't know how "stackable" the discount coupons are - you'll have to let me know. :mrgreen:

Oh, and by the way, I chose to release this on a Friday afternoon rather than wait until a Monday because I wanted to reward the hardcore PPCT subscribers! :way to go:

Wow, awesome. I didn't know the coupon list was this extensive! Jason, you've been holding out on us!

The hardest part: TopKey, Snails, or the GameBox Classics.
I particularly don't have a big usage for TopKey, which is an international keyboard with a nice layout. I think Snails would probably be the best app to get; it looks really awesome, but i'm not sure.

On a sidenote, are Handango coupons really stackable!? I have a $5 coupon for the survey I completed, and I was wondering if that could stack with some other discounts.

Update: seems like I just broke 400. Nice.

Hehe, actually I meant if PPCT users can use one coupon again and again. Not that I have much need to, but it would give an indication how fast said coupon would expire.

For example, I think the Handango coupon is 2000 times. If each subscriber can use it once, we wouldn't have to worry about it expiring soon. But if everyone can use it multiple times, well... :mrgreen:

Quick Question: How would one navigate to this page (once this thread fades into history)?

And if there's a developer missing from the list, let me know, and I'll email the developer to try and set up a coupon.

Am I understanding this right?

15% Off Any Handango Purchase
Receive 15% off any Handango-purchased application by using the code ??????. This coupon code expires on December 31st, 2005, and can be used a maximum of 2000 times in total, so it should last for several months at least.
Does this mean for all subscribers or does each person get to use the discount 2000 times?
