I just tried one of my $5 gift certifcates and it worked fine. Are you sure you put the gift certificate in the box marked "gift certificates" rather than the "coupon" box? The message you got sounds like one of the coupon messages.

Thank you very much, Jennifer. I appreciate this kind of support from Renderosity and remain a very loyal customer.

Correction - my three orders amounted to $86 before I applied the 20% off coupon.  I guess what confused me - and obviously some others, too - is that the wording for the gift certificate and the coupon seemed identical.  Both required a $25 purchase.  So I put together three orders of $30, $30, and $26, then applied the coupon, which worked fine because the $25 requirement was met, and this led me to believe that these orders had also met the similarly-worded requirement for the gift certificates.  I wish the announcement for the gift certificate order had stated that they would be given for "every order you make of $25 or more, after any coupons are applied".  Then there could be no misunderstanding of the two offers that seemed identical ("orders of $25 or more" for the gift certificate and "purchases of $25 or more" for the coupon) and expired on the same day.

I also made three separate purchases, each totalling more than $25 before the coupon was applied, thinking that I would get three coupons.  Instead I have received none. I too wish that the rules for this What the Deal Wednesday promotion would have been explained better.  Then I could have combined my purchases into two orders and at least gotten two coupons.  As a result, I spent $85 on that promotion but received nothing. Very frustrating!

Unfortunately you cannot use more than one gift certificate with an order. I checked the FAQs on this before deciding what to buy yesterday and what to use the very short-lived Gift Certificates on. You can find the answer in FAQs/Buying/Multiple Gift Certificates:

Hi

Is is possible to redeem more than one gift certificate at one time?

Unfortunately it is only possible to apply one Gift Certificate code per order.

Thank you!

Like all the other posters, I am glad to see you back, Schlabber.  I have enjoyed your free and your commercial poses over the years, especially some of the old swordfighting ones.  And I think there is still a market for good pose sets for V4 and M4, because poses made for earlier figures often do not work completely correctly with them, especially for paired figures like in swordfighting.  I for one would be very interested in updated versions of some of your older poses to make them work well with V4 and M4.  While I can fix any problems with older poses myself if necessary, I am happy to pay a reasonable price for a product that does all this work for me and insures that paired figures work well together and that all the details (hands, feet, etc.) are correct.

I join with the other posters in congratulating you on your child and the second one on the way.  

Dear Renderosity,

Have you ever considered letting people have the option to buy sale items for full price when you have a coupon that does not apply to sale items?  In many cases the items that I am interested in and that are currently on sale are discounted much less than the 30% coupon.
