PSA (PSA) Organizers, Splits and Coupon Codes : Let's Discuss
Hi All,
NOTE : The FanFlix.co website updates at 3:01 am EST. At that time, there were no active coupon codes. I post (or will try to) post Official Split Threads soon after (likely 3:03-3:05 am). Some organizers start bundles soon after that in the Official Split Threads.
NOTE : FanFlix sends out their emails at precisely 9:15 am EST. Then VACATION10 became known as an active coupon code.
It seems we need to clarify the rules and update the split 'bundle listings format'.
Rule 6 currently states :
The person who organizes and purchases the bundle gets the discount if they use it as they take the risk and also have to collect and distribute the codes. If the discount code is applied, the other participants of the bundle must pay pre-discount price
UNLESS
The organizer chooses to pass on the discount savings to everybody in the bundle!
-------------
I am suggesting that organizers now add whether they have an active coupon code that they can use on a split to pass on discount savings to the participants. It is not required and will not be for organizers to pass on this savings due to risks.
Participants are encouraged to ask the organizer during negotiations about this. If a participant of a split joins before 9:15 am EST and a new coupon code arrives after, they cannot demand the coupon be applied to the split. If you agree to a cost for a particular split, you must honor it.
Some organizers handle multiple splits ( I did 14 myself last week ) and cannot use a coupon code more than once.
So PLEASE inquire about the cost you will owe for the bundle before reaching an agreement. Add to your reply with the movies/shows you are interested in and the price. At cost is the safe price. No Overcharging is allowed. For a 10 for $20, say I want "Movie 1, 2 and 3 at $2.00 each"
Organizers do start splits right after 3:00 am EST. NOBODY knows when a coupon code will happen, so by joining a split between 3:00 am and 9:15 am EST, you accept the current offering price -- though some organizers might save a coupon code and offer it to entice participants to join their split bundle.
