Someone might have some answers for me about this.

I've subrscribed to HB Monthly before so normally I couldn't be using a 10% off coupon on the Monthly since I'm not a new subscriber. Earlier this month I noticed I had a coupon and went to the Monthly subscription page to see if it would let me use it and it wouldn't. Today I received an e-mail telling me my coupon would expire soon and suggesting me to use it.. so clicking the link from the e-mail I went to the Monthly page and to my surprise it was letting me get the 10% off. I thought maybe the link had some code forcing the coupon to be used but no if I went again from the HB main page it would still let me use the coupon.

My question is .. is there some unwritten rule about those coupons like if you haven't subscribed in X months it resets the coupon use, did HB simply screwed up somehow ?

Yes I did earlier this month and coupon wasn't applied.. but today it was, that's why I'm trying to figure out what happened.

I don't know, but I'm curious too.

It seemed like for months I had a 10% off for new subscriber coupons, but when it came time to sign up for this current one with XCOM2, the coupon had expired. lol Go figure. The more I use Humble Bundle, the more I like that site.

If you haven't noticed, when you are a subscriber, you get a flat 15% discount off every purchase, including sales. 10% coupon + 5% to your wallet or charity.

What I have learned is that if I have a coupon, it is automatically applied. I've not found a way to acquire coupons outside of what HB chooses to email me or directly apply to my account.

Did you buy bundles recently? some of them include a 10% off even if you pay 0.01 in a custom purchase. You might have gotten it that way. I had 3 10% off monthly stacked up it 1 point xD

I know where I got the coupon from.. my question is about why the 'new subscriber' coupon was applied today and it wasn't earlier this month.

I was under the impression you had to pay at least $1 for the coupon, but now I'm not sure...

I bought some that included it least 2 DRM free copies in tier 1 for 0.01$ and they always included the coupon after the transaction was completed

If you haven't been subscribed in at least 3 months, then the new subscriber coupons will work for you. I've seen that mentioned by others.

Mmh you might have something there.. I might just have passed the 3 months mark from my last Monthly subscription.

Just to clear one thing up: 'not subscribed' as in subscription entirely cancelled or does pausing count too?

You have to cancel. Pausing won't work.

I canceled in December to not get the January one, and I got the mail with 10% off and the 5$

It's a shame the 10% is only off the first month now, it used to be 10% off a year too and THAT was a good deal. Wish I had made use of it.

Yes, I received it too and just posted it in the main thread (without a screenshot) I resubbed already.

EDIT: Oh and in the bundle page (if you received the email) you can claim $5 for the Humble Wallet.

I was auto-subscribed and did not get a chance for $5 for being blindly loyal.

It was only for returning customers (don't understand "loyalty" in this case, honestly).

Wish I got that deal, all I got was 10%off for being "new" just because I have not subscribed in awhile.

Got a chuckle at the loyalty reward how can you be loyal if you have not been subscribed? lol

You can't be loyal if you have not been subscribed... I was one of the first subscribers

I know but what I was getting at is a discount for subscribing again and then a bonus for being a loyal subscriber.5 dollar bonus for being a loyal monthly subscriber, yet they are getting 10% off for re-subscribing.I am wondering how they can be a loyal subscriber and a new re-subscriber at the same time.

Maybe I just have a different view on loyal lol.

You are loyal if you abandon them, so they reward you. If you are always subscribed you are a traitor and don't deserve any discount. I see it pretty normal.

I think that might be their version of a discount double check?

Do you (or anyone else) know if the $5 Humble wallet can be used for their Bundle purchases or is it only valid for the Store?

EDIT: never mind, I found out myself

Your Humble Wallet lets you maintain a balance of credit for use on the Humble Store. (Note: at this time, Humble Wallet funds may not be used to purchase bundles.)

Only for the store.

Indeed, but it's still decent - 10% off from monthly subscription + extra discount from wallet money. I can't really complain :v

Yeah, it's rather tempting. It's just that I buy a lot of Humble bundles but hardly use the Humble Store, so bundle purchases would have been extra sweet.

Same here! I just got the email and was surprised to see 3 coupons there. I don't recall acquiring them. I never bought HB monthly too. In any case, I tried it and bought my first monthly bundle at -10%.

Not sure if I will use the other 2 as they will expire the same time next month which means that only 1 of them can be used. Unless I'm missing something?

Happened to me as well, and they've added €4.5 to my humble wallet on top of it too.. As you might imagine, I couldn't exactly resist this offer :v

I got the email about an expiring coupon, and bought the February bundle with a 10 % discount 20 minutes before this thread was opened. I haven't bought a monthly since May.

There's nothing in my email about €5 wallet, there's no money in my wallet, and there's no mention of it on my Thanks for purchasing-page.

So... €5 is €5, is there something I'm missing? (except the €5...)

You can claim it on your monthly bundle page.
And it is 4.5 EUR (5 Dollar)

ps: I guess that that only is the case when you got the mail

Yeah May was Mad Max. I got April (with South Park) and May with Mad Max.

Still haven't played any of the games from those two monthlies (already owned South Park...), so let's see if this month will be any better in that regard. Couldn't resist Xcom 2 with a discount though...

That including all the games that can be bought with the extra 10% discount and possible $5/4,5 euro because of mail.

Is nearly impossible to resist ^^

I got the email with the whole "As a reward for being a loyal Humble Monthly customer, get $5 and 10% off the Humble Store when you resubscribe!"

So, I decided to resubscribe, yet didn't get a coupon nor the $5.

I canceled because i did not wanted January (so I skipped only one month) and i still got the mail !
And in the mail, I clicked on the claim "claim you 5$" or something, it showed me the montly, i suscribed (with 10% off) and put the 5$ directly on my wallet, no need for more action.

My point : click on the 5$ and not on the subcription, it will put the 5$ in your wallet automaticly.

Wow, just wow. I also had a 10% off coupon (don't even remember how I got it), I thought it wouldn't work anyway, since I had already had subscribed to the Monthly once, way back for "Mad Max". Now, the coupon worked, I got the monthly for $10.80 AND I got €4.50 into my wallet on top of it, effectively only paying around $6 for "XCOM 2". So, if I understand this correctly, I have until Feb 22 to cancel my subscription in case I don't like the next months early unlock and I'll keep the other games that will be unlocked next Friday in any case?

On a sidenote, Humble Store seems to have a funny way of converting currencies... with the Monthly discount, Euros become dollars suddently:

I already have HB February XCOM2 and did unsubscribe.

So the mail says
"Resubscribe to Humble Monthly and unlock XCOM 2. 10% off your first month back. Cancel anytime."
"$5 special bonus only for resubscribers
As a reward for being a loyal Humble Monthly customer,
get $5 and 10% off the Humble Store when you resubscribe!"

"XCOM 2 for them, $5 for you
For a limited time when you refer a friend to Humble Monthly,
get $5 towards your next store purchase!"

so if i resubscribe i got to paid again and got same XCOM2 bundle, which mean i will get 2x Feb bundle from my previous purchase & the new Subscription + 5$ wallet right?

😀 my english bad,.. really confusing

No idea. Probably no. As far as I know you only get one copy of the HB monthly.
It's not really confusing if you didn't try to do something weird, haha.
