Captain_Obvious Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Interesting. So the first guy redeemed a Promo Gift Code and a VIP Discount in the same transaction and was denied, so there’s no way to differentiate. However, you only redeemed a Promo Gift Code and got denied, so it appears a Promo Code will get you denied as well @BrickLover80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back, it was the Fiat Posters that caused the trouble for me. So I took that to mean any VIP redemption will cause problems, cash or gift. But maybe cash is fine. Would be good to know. Looking forward to exciter's report. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplsabdullah Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 My total is $159.98 and they are not giving the second GWP. Thought they where lenient when it's that close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not popular, but that would still be a very short run. Same with Seinfeld, although some 2021 Ideas set has to go if they keep Piano (2020) and Treehouse (2019) into 2023. On the other hand, Bookstore off the list seems odd. Assuming a new modular comes in January, there would be FOUR modulars out there concurrently.

Will wait until tomorrow in hopes of grabbing another Ulysses to add to this order and grab another Blacksmith now that the limit was upped to 5. You can only redeem the Ulysses once. So if you got it the first time then you’re out this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll believe that after I try again and fail! Heard this repeated so much, I'm almost convinced it's a conspiracy rumor started by those who redeemed already and just want less competition tomorrow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right on top of the email they sent: We’re bringing back the Ulysses Space Probe set for anyone who missed out last year! We only have a limited number, so if you got one in 2021, you won’t be able to redeem points for it this time. And despite their IT being not that good (to put it mildly), they managed this exclusion in the past when redemptions came back (e.g. coins). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukedd Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Ulysses was gone at 09.03 in the Netherlands. I missed out because it was also the time the set first showed up as a reward for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's applicable to Lego specifically but believe there's an option to check into the rakuten app or something along those lines when shopping physically. I have not done it before, and I don't have too much experience with Ratuken myself so if anyone else has had experience with this please let us know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like YMMV, I made an order on 05/10 that included just a Promo Code (one of the Tin Signs) and my 15% cashback just hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
