You may get it later
Also note that I am not a monthly subscriber, maybe they are trying to get people back in milk business

Well, I never been a subscriber and also didn't get an email.

Any deal involving expiring credit -- especially with such a short time-frame** -- is far from being a "good" deal.
**and the other big caveat is being a single-use coupon.

Doesn't sound desperate, but a more aggressive campaign, like IGN do.

Ny guess is that the upcoming monthly will be really bad
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, with the previously freebies, don't think so. They are attracting customers like dealers with junkies do. If you are worried about mass selling will lower their products, we will see that.

Humble were acquired by IGN, and while certain degrees of offer can send up some potential red flags, some companies use these kinds of incentives to get people hooked. If you think back to the early monthly bundles, everyone thought that the featured games (and quality of the bundles) were just to sucker people in, and that the quality would sharply decline once they got subscribers.
In this case, the hope may just be that they want more people to be exposed to it, so might subscribe on their own. Exposure is a key factor in subscriptions after all. I mean, I feel your doubts because the yearly subscription promotion is pretty juicy, and longer subscriptions always carry that element of doubt / risk, but there's also no harm in continuing with the usual per-month subscription.

Which is not a coincidence. Humble was bought by IGN

Coupon expires 30 days after being granted and is issued in US Dollar.
isn't that the most important part left out here?
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed, it sounds like the $10 credit is only valid for 30 days. It also sounds like you may have to use it all in a single transaction.

They'll send your store credit when... the sale ends! What a surprise!
Comment has been collapsed.
That is an amazing deal! Time to find someone who needs store credit and is willing to do this.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can just set up an alt account, gift to yourself and resell the games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah. But I didn't get this offer sadly. Would've gifted to myself if so.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also someone on this site said you can defer redeeming gifted monthly to later, so if you don't want this, you could try that :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you mean to say can rather than can't? As I understood it, you used to be able to redeem a Humble Monthly gift at a later time so it didn't necessarily have to be for the current Monthly bundle that was active at the time of the gift purchase but could be for a subsequent one instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for the info. I guess I'll try that.
However Humble did quite a lot of marketing/promotions this month so I guess this could be a good one ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Comment has been collapsed.
So i bought the current humble monthly as gift, will i Get $10 if i redeem it to my account?
just sent that to HB support
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't understand the deal: how much do you pay for the HBM gift that you send, to get the 10$ credit?
Comment has been collapsed.
Should be for any of the giftable plans, so cheapest would be $12 for a 1 month gift.
Comment has been collapsed.
No mail, but I'm a subbie, should have delayed it a bit longer...
Guess this explains the many many H1Z1 giveaways? Don't think it's cash-drawn day yet is it? (got yearly so...)
Comment has been collapsed.
Might be region restricted? Doesn’t apply to me eitherr
Comment has been collapsed.
I really hope that this Monthly won't be HUGE dissappointment, because I already bought 2 bundles...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well they've decreased the games to 6 now, so hopefully they've increased the quality.
Comment has been collapsed.
What do u mean by " they've decreased the games to 6 now"?
Comment has been collapsed.
That is what I read somewhere. 'A curated bundle of 6 games coming to your inbox'... Or something like that. I'll have to check on my pc tomorrow.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us here at Humble Bundle Support!
I am very sorry for the disappointment however only recipients of the email are able to participate in this promotion. We are unable to manually send the email or provide instructions on how to participate. I am very sorry about this!
I hope that you are able to participate in future promotions that we have.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the reply. I was expecting this sort of an answer. Well, no promo = no buy from me.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think they are desperate
Judging from the volume of promotional emails I'm getting on a daily basis, then one should conclude the whole world of eTailing is desperate. It probably is: to make more money than the year before.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well, didn't get that mail. I got a lot of mail spam for that particular monthly, but not that one. Then again, that H1Z1 unlock seems so very unappealing to me, the bundle should be free just to make up for my time giving it away. Also, the $10's only for gifting away the bundle, right? So I'd have to go through the trouble to make an alt account in order to use that promotion for myself? I think I'll pass.
Comment has been collapsed.
Eh, I probably would have done it if I had received the email. Plenty of stuff on my Steam wishlist is also available on Humble. And the credit will last long enough to be used during Winiter/Holiday sales.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also, note that "Coupon expires 30 days after being granted" while "Coupon will be granted on Tuesday 11/28". That is the same day their sale ends. Maybe there will be a sale in the next 30 days, but you can't be sure about that ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
so we will get the cash after the current sale. hopefully we have another sale at the end of the year before the coupon expiration

Did not receive the email yet.
... Still nothing after some time ... what a shame.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just in time for the holidays, gift Humble Monthly between now and Tuesday 11/28 at 10AM PT and you'll get $10 in store credit.
We'll send you your store credit on Tuesday, 11/28.
This offer only applies to users who receive this email.
I think they are desperate
Tip
If you didn't get the coupon you can contact hb support to manualy assign it to your account. I have get mine earlier that way and I have used it on the sale already.
Also you can gift monthly to yourself. Still have to use gift option on email.
Last some more details from hb support
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us here at Humble Bundle Support!
You are correct - if you purchase a gift monthly subscription within the promotional time frame you will receive a $10 wallet credit that you can use on a Store purchase. I have checked your account and see that you did not receive the wallet credit properly, which may be because you purchased the monthly gift outside of the link in the email.
I have manually deposited to the credit into your account, and it is in the form of a coupon. The wallet credit does have an expiration of 30 days (Dec. 26) so please be sure to spend it before then!
Let me know if you would like assistance with anything else.
Cheers~
