Title: Season Pass
Post by: Gilligan on January 14, 2017, 02:35:04 PM
You may already know there's a magazine subscription that comes free (?) with your season pass, right?  If you don't want it, you're directed to request a refund of $6 by mailing in the enclosed postcard.  If you ordered multiple passes, did you get a postcard for each pass?  When ordering multiple passes, one set of coupons is enclosed with the packet.  If passes are ordered separately, will I get the coupons with each pass, or is it based on mailing address?  We always use the 25% coupons.  It seems only fair to have multiple coupons if I'm buying multiple passes. What do you think?

I agree you should get a coupon book for each pass ordered.  I haven't tried ordering seperatly, but we order 5 passes and only get 1 coupon book and magazine subscription for the whole order.  I emailed Sdc to see if they will send one for each pass because we visit multiple times and us a lot of the coupons.  I will let you know when they respond.

There is definitely a compelling argument to be made here for multiple packages when ordering multiple SPs.

I thought along there should be discount cards or coupons with each pass... 
LOL..   
SDC shouldnt care, after all a discount sale, is a sale!  More discount sales, means more added sales..

Yes!  We spend a fortune at the Woodcarver's shop.

Those 20 - 25% off are nice and I always use mine.  Frankly with the upcharge they put on a lot of there merch you would think they would be a little looser with dispensing them.

That is true!  Hubs supports the wood carving shop, by buying books and tools, but they aren't stocking supplies the way they used to.

You get a magazine subscription for each pass.  There is a tan box you write the season pass numbers in to claim them.

Make separate orders for each pass if you're so worried about the coupons.
Title: Re: Season Pass
Post by: Madtwins on January 15, 2017, 06:53:06 PM
Yeah next year I will

Post by: sanddunerider on January 15, 2017, 07:57:34 PM
BUT, IF you make seperate orders?
then the BAF's are only good with each one of the pass holders/..???   
where as I buy all of ours together, we can us 1 or all of the BAF's by anyone in our group..

Is this not correct?
Title: Re: Season Pass
Post by: Swoosh on January 15, 2017, 09:57:13 PM
Each BAF is matched with a pass.

You are correct!  Free passes are connected to an order number, not a pass number.  This means that if we go during a valid pass date, I can use all 5 of our baf passes without taking anyone else in my family with me.  My parents (2), grandparents (2), and sisters family (3) all ordered together.  Any of those 7 people can use the free passes connected to that order number at any point.

The 25% off for this next year does not include a lot of the shops. I was checking out my parents yesterday and noticed the change. Knife shop, Pottery, and carvers are not included this year. The shopping pass now states which stores they are good at. Just another small cutback.

That's a bunch of crap right there.  I always use my coupon to buy something and usually a big mug or an oil pourer from the pottery shop.  That cutback will assist me in cutting back on my discretionary spending at SDC.  They lost 75% of a sale. I saved 100% with the new policy. Thanks SDC!     Not a small but a big cutback, I always looked forward to picking out my mug.........well that's the end of that.

Most of the limitations in the past if I recall correctly were outside vendors. Now they have excluded the major crafts. I had always used mine in the knife shop. MHguy is right. It is a major change. And last years discount was up to 30 %.

We spend big bucks at the Woodcarving Shop and have made several purchases at the Knife Shop. Those coupons always helped the hubs talk me into his purchases. And, yes, we can buy those books and tools at other places, but we liked helping out the woodcarvers.
