Near as I can tell, there hasn't been one. Could be holiday recovery. We've been generously blessed by the Christmas elves, you know? I wouldn't blame anyone for needing a break!

ah i'm not blaming anyone, just wanted to know if it was out already. wouldn't be the first time i delete a newsletter in the middle of the notifications for new items ^^

soooo.. today is the 29th - 2 days left in january. i'd like to know if in those 2 days there will be a newsletter freebie or not - so i can either forget about it and stop looking, or look forward to it... not that i'm insisting on it, we have indeed had a lot of cool freebies in december. it's just a waste of time to look or wait for something that isn't coming... TheBryster, Deenamic ? any tips? ^^

srsly guys??? it's trivial but.. how many posts am i supposed to write on this subject until i get 1 single little official answer????? it's jan 31st, so you have like 5hrs in my time and 12hrs in rendo time until january is over.

is it sooo hard to write "sorry everyone, for reason xxxx there won't be any newsletter freebie in january 2020"? no freebie is either not very important, in which case i don't see any shame or problem acknowledging it - or it is a big issue, in which case it shouldn't happen so make it happen... just ignoring it silently is neither organized nor professional nor customer-friendly.

if something irks me to no end, it's situations where things aren't said properly, and just swept under the carpet. or posts with questions to the powers that be that are not answered. it irks me actually even more than the non-existent freebie, srsly.

It's odd that there was no response down here. I've found, you can sometimes get an answer using the feedback tab or sending a sitemail.

ah yeah, when it's urgent and/or important, i do send sitemails. not for this tho, it would border on abuse, neither the issue of the missing freebie nor the lack of answer for this particular issue are important enough to disturb a mod personally.

i knooooow... everyone is busy, and there was the recent holiday, chaotic as always for everyone. however when time is an issue.. personally i'd prefer people in charge to organize a monthly freebie rather than having the staff wasting time picking out freebies among the already available ones - ok i must admit i'm an absolute hater of all things "recommended for you" - "pick of the month" - "trending" and other friendly assistance of the type, i'm smart enough to go pick my own stuff all by myself, and i don't give a damn what other peeps find the sh** at the moment srsly ~ XD. even more when an AI decides - the chance of me really having any interest in what them algorithms propose is pretty much zilch ^^

By not responding they have already answered you. I got a newsletter today, advertising the Prime Membership and you get a monthly freebie if you join. If this is what I think it is, join the paid for club, nonmembers will get nothing. Still checking newsletters to see if I am wrong about this.

Historically, there has also been a monthly newsletter freebie for subscribing to the newsletter. All freebies depend on the generosity of the vendor who supplies the freebie. Newsletter freebie is a nice extra, but I'm not cancelling the newsletter if it's not there. It would be good if somebody from Rendo said something here.

Hello everybody! I'm sorry for replying so late, I was busy doing other work on the website, I promise I will be faster in replying to your questions now and in the future. I have looked through all the January newsletters and I don't see a freebie in any of them. The only thing I can think of why that happened is because there was so many freebies in December and there was so many sales going on in January and showcasing of freestuff in the January newsletters that the newsletter freebie took a break for that month. The newsletter freebie is back in the February 5th newsletter, this month's freebie is Heart & Soul - V4 poses/backgrounds & png(s) by ilona & Bez. I hope you all have had a chance to grab that hearty freebie. If you all can't find that freebie, then let me know, it can get a little confused with the freestuff items in the newsletter. I hope I've answered your questions completely and if I haven't, then feel free to reply back to me on here or via sitemail and I'll try my best to help you all even more. I hope you all are having great weekends! 😄

Hi Dee! Good to hear from you :) Took a break. My thoughts exactly. Right you are! Posted on the 5th. I missed it, but I've got it now. Looks great! Should be fun. Thanks so much to Ilona! Thanks to you and Rendo staff! 😁

Glad to hear I was wrong, and thank you for the update.

Hi Torquinox! You're welcome! It's good to hear from you too. I totally agree with you, the freebie does look like fun. I'm a 2D person, so the backgrounds and png graphics are calling me. lol

Hi Sea80! You're welcome! It took me a while to realize that the Prime membership and newsletter freebies were two different things. It's good that they give us two chances to get awesome freebies.

I see, Dee. You like images with color and texture 😂
