35% off Painter IX for CGS Members

#7

so whatā€™s the point to get CGS memebership if youā€™re not US Citizen. :sad:

#8

beh :frowning: Take away this offer. Go fix it and bring it back to the ENTIRE cgs membership when you are done :smiley:

#9

woohoo, something only available to the US Populationā€¦ and for the rest of usā€¦ the nice warm feeling that weā€™re living somewhere elseā€¦

Maybe we should organise something like a mass/bulk buy in each area of the globe, someone in Australia, asia, US, North us, Europe, etcā€¦ so if / when something worth wild comes our way, the person who is in the ā€œinsert location hereā€ where its only available to, can buy up for the rest of the interested partyā€™s then they could foward all the $$$ to them, maybe thats a vailid idea considering things when their released are only available to ā€œinsert location hereā€ residentsā€¦

Iā€™m starting to loose sight of what CGSociety is offering me. Not only is this a US only deal but the ā€œDiscountā€ is more expensive then Corel is offering it to everyone, by $50.

#11

Not bad, but it wasnā€™t long ago that Corel was offering Painter full-version for the upgrade price. I got hooked up with that deal. :slight_smile:

#12

The sad thing is that you can get this item for the same price as Kirt has said without the so called promotion. I placed both the promotion item and the regular priced item in a cart. Under the promotion item it says ā€œYou saved 35%!ā€ under the regular item there was nothing, but the price on the full version was $229 for both. There was no difference. Am I seeing it wrong? Wheres the savings?

#13

I did the same: regular and promotion item in the cart with the same outcomes. Iā€™m not sure whoā€™s talking to who, but someone must have misunderstood a little bit. Iā€™m pretty sure the title of the thread should also include ā€œUS CGS Membersā€, assuming itā€™s any sort of deal besides what they already offer on the site.

#14

I have pulled the offer until I receive clarification regarding Corelā€™s position. They launched a special price on their public site concurrent with us launching the CGS offer totally negating any benefit to CGS members. I can only guess why this has happened and my guess would be that it is one department in a big company not talking to another department in a big company. Whatever the case I apologize for announcing a ā€˜non-offerā€™.

Getting these offers up is a lot of work for us as we are trying to take these larger providers into uncharted territory. Getting them to offer benefits outside the US is also a major challenge which we are continuing to work on. However we believe a limited offer is better than no offer at all.

In the meantime we will endeavor to prove to suppliers that the CGS represents a solid cross section of industry professionals and by offering discounts to CGS members they have an excellent vehicle for a Ā‘controlledĀ’ promotion with results they will see in their bottom line.

Depends which side of the pond youā€™re sitting on I guess :shrug:

The grass is always greener on the other side

Just curious, was this front paged? I rarly look into the cgsociety forums and this would have been great for me, Iā€™ve been demoing Painter and was thinking about buying. If I had known about this a couple weeks ago Iā€™d have jumped on it.

Also, is there a chance the sale might be extended or happen again with in the next couple months?

I think it should be a permanent cgsociety sale :wink:

The link doesnā€™t work for me :frowning:

Hi new2LW
The Corel offer was plugged on www.cgsociety.org for about two weeks and pulicized in three consecutive newsletters. We hope to be able to offer a similar offer again in the future but we need to fit the offers around Corelā€™s promotional calendar.

The link doesnā€™t work for me :frowning:

Hi Sergio
The offer ended on the 31st October so The link has been taken down.

Cheers
