Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 4, 2019 2 hours ago, Steps said: Nope, still nothing. Also no answer from support. Can you please make transparent how Serif decides who is eligable for a discount and who not? Is it measured by reported bugs or how valuable the devs think the suggestions were? I'm sad. Support will get back to you I'm sure, as I can see you are eligible. [ive just seen their first reply and have corrected them as you are eligible] This Affinity Publisher pre-order has gone to everyone who added Affinity Publisher Public beta to their Affinity Store account before Sunday who we can email. However of that list, there are some beta testers who we have not sent the offer to, because they have unsubscribed from all communications in the past. That is over 10,000 contacts that for technical and GDPR reasons we cannot contact with this offer. However if any of them contact us directly we can provide the offer (to those who are eligible). Unsubscribing from marketing communications using the link in an email results in this inability to send offers. That may or may not be the case with you, but you asked me to make transparent who was eligible.

Joachim_L Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 No mail for me, bought Designer and Photo back in March 2018, so I should be on the list? I cannot recall if unsubscribed from communications in the past. But nevermind, will buy at any price. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may not easily have been restricted to Publisher beta users. In fact shortly a pre-order will be available to anyone (for a lesser % offer) and an email sent to all other Customers (who have not unsubscribed).

I pre-ordered simply because I LOVE Affinity Designer and Photo, AND I want to show my support early and often! But I agree, w/every Publisher beta download, I'd try the Designer/Photo personas to consistently be greeted w/NO JOY as to the functionality working. How can Publisher be considered ready for release if we've never had an opportunity to try out the Designer and Photo personas - don't even know what can be done w/the extra functionality!??

From other posts/topics I think you will need to contact affinityorders@serif.com for assistance. The pre-order they emailed to us seems to be for one or ther other, not both.

It is meant to appear ONLY for Publisher (multipage) documents. Sorry it seems to have missed the 1.7.0 release (at least on Windows).

Staff Ash Posted June 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi All - not sure if this has been said already, but we will be putting a slide in the Publisher Beta welcome screen (Help -> Welcome) which will offer the pre-order for the additional discount for beta testers. This should go live tomorrow late afternoon / evening. This will allow anyone using the beta to claim that discount in the event they haven't received the email, and will also allow you to claim twice (or an additional time if you've already used your email voucher) if you want to get both the Window and Mac version at the beta tester price. Note - there will be a pre-order offer slide appear in Photo and Designer tomorrow too, but it's only if you follow the link from the slide in the Publisher beta where you get the extra 10% Hope that helps with some of these questions. We're incredibly grateful for all the support you have given us during the beta and are really keen to make sure you all get the opportunity to get the extra discount, and figured this was the best way to make that happen.

Pebowski Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm one of the lucky ones who received the e-mail on the first day - and i immediatly preordered it - so everything went fine! :-) I only have a little question: I got the English version of the e-mail, but I have seen, that there also exists a German version. Is there a special setting. where you can decide which version you get? I think from the newsletter I always get both versions, but I'm not sure.
