If you buy a Criterion.com gift certificate from now until the end of the year - you get double loyalty points on that gift certificate purchase. So its money you'll spend anyway in the future + you get an additional 10% back out of it (its about the same as a B&N 20% off coupon).
I promise this was a thing that happened. Just wondering if anyone has the same discrepancy I’m seeing. Still no sign of a gift certificate in my email.
Don't worry, you're not losing your marbles. I bought a $100 giftcard back when this promo was up in December, and the number of points I had increased by 200, but the "you still have X to go before a certificate" only went up by 100.
So I emailed Criterion and they said that they double checked my account and that the points are accurate, just ignore what the "you have X to go" says.
Usually the certificates arrives within minutes, but I'd suggest emailing them about it if it hasn't shown up yet and you've hit a next 500 threshold (they'll probably comp you something if you miss the sale due to the delay).
If it makes you feel better I'm probably going to be in the exact same boat - as I'm going to place an order soon, and only need 48points for my next Cert (despite it saying I need 148). So we'll see if the $50 arrives immediately for me or not.
===========================
I'm also really thankful Criterion have started stockpiling their newest titles at their warehouse. It looks like all the major new titles are still instock. This is a far cry from a couple years ago where everything new would be long gone by the time I could place an order (Don't Look Now was the most annoying case). Glad I can still pick up Rebecca + Barry Lyndon at this point.
Anyone buying random older releases?
