No skin discount?

May 16, 2020 9:12:59 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi, I was just wondering, in the not too distant past, as an OD subscriber, you got a 20% discount when buying a windowblinds skin.

The last year(?) this no longer seems to be the case. Besides, the skins became really expensive. For example, for a USD 6,95 skin I now have to pay € 8,95

Is that true, of am I missing something?

Thanks,

Arnoud

arno1971 and JanOscar;

I know this a stupid question, but was wondering if you guys were logged in to the site prior to buying the Skins?

I know unless your logged in you won't get the discount.

I believe that is an excise tax being applied by the country you are living in. Nothing to do with Stardock.

That is correct, but he is asking for the discount for Stardock/Wincustomize customers. Not the same thing. I have to pay around $10 or more for premium skins now. Used to be around $6. I still pay that for premium skins from another skinner. Quite a big difference. To me it seems the discount was removed at the same time the new (for me) local VAT was added

Hi Tom, thanks for your feedback. But this tax wasn't there before, it is only like this since about the last 6 months.

But, like JanOscar is remarking, I primarily want to know what happened with the 20% discount  for OD subscribers.

Best,

Arnoud

Yes, for me also, it was at the same time.

Seems like this wasn't interesting enough for someone at Stardock to answer.

I guess what I posted is not what you are talking about. As far as I know OD sub is for the software and WC sub is for Master Skins discounts.

And the highlighted section is different than what I thought it meant.

I have gone through my purchases and the last time a got a discount was back in September 2019. Didn't buy anything until November and the the local VAT (+25% for me ) was added and the discount removed. I haven't been a WC subscriber for many, many years so that can't be the reason. "Current customer" has been the reason given to me for the discount. I have been an OD subscriber for ages though, but for only a short period of time.

Unlike you it won't let me download it and it's not in my StarDock account but is in my StarDock payment history.

The tax you pay is next to nothing, I see.

There is also discounts on Stardock software when you subscribe.  WC sub, I mean.

There are discounts for OD subscribers too. I have discounts and I'm not a WC subscriber.

I didn't know that. I've always had both.
