Basically, you have to go into your account and bring up the list of your orders:
http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/e ... nal/order/
then enter each order number on this page:
http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/e ... l/account/
and click on "get bonus" if you have any, to get the amount credited to your DCS account. I just got $36 credited towards the new BAe Hawk T.1 I'll be buying the moment it's released!
Great initiative, but a bit miserly, considering I bought every module they have published - if you buy it on a sale, in beta (most of their stuff is released as a public beta for some time before going 'retail') or from Steam, you get nada.
Pity this isn't common knowledge - I found out via SimHQ forums - where one lucky chap got a $62 bonus.
PS - Got the press release:
Press Release
NEW CUSTOMER BONUS SYSTEM!
DUXFORD, UK, February 19th, 2014 – The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics will reward our loyal customers with a new bonus system that will provide discounts with DCS product purchases.
When purchasing a DCS product a full price (not on a discount sale, or discounted price), customers will receive a 20% bonus based on the price of the purchased DCS product! A bonus is applied to only the first purchase of a specific DCS product.
If you purchase two DCS products at full price, you will receive a DCS bonus of 25% based on the value of the order.
This bonus escalates with the purchase of additional DCS products:
• 3 DCS products: 30%
• 4 DCS Products: 35%
• 5 DCS Products: 40%
• 6 DCS Products: 45%
• 7 DCS Products: 50%
• 8 DCS Products: 55%
• 9 and more DCS Products: 60%
Customers that purchased DCS products at full price prior to the start of the bonus program can register their products and receive a bonus of 20% of the purchased price.
These bonuses will be credited on the customers’ personal Bonus Accounts of the DCS website. Customer bonus funds can only be redeemed for the purchase of DCS products from www.digitalcombatsimulator.com.
The bonuses for previous purchases can be reviewed at:
