subscription timing


Customer Service


Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to subscribe me to your adventure path of the new Runelords AP. I know it starts in August. Can you just start sending me a book in August if I subscribe now, or do I have to wait until August?

The reason why I ask is that I want that 15% discount now. I am planning on making a decently sized purchase, and perhaps some preorders.

Sincerely,
Scott Funk

PS, I sent this letter via email to you back on the 5th, and never got a reply. SO I am trying multiple platforms.

The Pathfinder Advantage (15% discount) only applys once the first shipping of the subscription has shipped (IIRC).
That is to prevent someone making a subscription, buying stuff with the discount, then cancel the subscription before shipping happens, so as to get the discount "for free".

Hope this helps explain things.


Nuts. To be frank that wasn't what I was planning. I really DO have a bunch of stuff in my cart, and was figuring on buying them this month.

Gonna have to wait, then.


I think you can set up a subscription, then order stuff and set it up to "ship with my next subscription", and that would make it apply the Pathfinder Advantage.
[edit:]That said, you are to early to select the August release as your stating item in the AP-Line.

Someone from CS surely will come by and give you the correct proceedings.

The August products should become available for starting a subscription soon after they generate the authorizations for this month's subscription deliveries. They are currently scheduled to do that this Thursday.


I hope so. Was wanting to make a relatively decent purchase later on this month, once my paycheck kicks in.


If you’re wanting to time payments, it can be useful to buy yourself gift certificates. I’ve done that before with larger purchases.

That way you know exactly when your card is charged (subs can be anywhere within a three week window, typically) and you can let your store credit build up ahead of the big splurge.

Hi Piccolo,

Our inbox is really backlogged so we haven't caught up on everything yet. Thanks for letting us know you also emailed so we can clear that one out.

The first item for your subscription needs to have shipped, or be waiting to ship along with the other items you are order.

If you are waiting to start with the new Runelords AP, you should be able to choose that after we generated this month's subscription orders, which is when the starting options rotate.

Once that is started, you should be able to add the other items you want to buy to your sidecart. They will then get combined (with the discount) with your subscription order for August.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Thanks!
