    So gift cards can be purchased for players for a few days during this sale and I have a few questions.

    1. Would a $101 gift card purchased for a player give the $100 bonus of forum gold and the medal to the player it was purchased for.
    2. If the $101 coupon was bought then applied to say a $105 purchase making the cost $4 would that count to the $100 bonus
    3. If say a $90 coupon was bought and applied to a $105 purchase making it cost $15 would that count to the $100 bonus

    I assume #1 yes as it is a purchase over $100 and #2 and #3 no as they are purchases under $100 but I'd like to check.

    Thanks,
    RyanBlocks2 :)

    The final cost of the basket must show as 100 USD or more, I believe, so coupon codes would not work for the promotion.

    1. Yes you will get bonus.
    2. No you will not get bonus.
    3. No you will not get bonus.

    Bonus only applies to actual payments over $100.

    Yes you can, but they can only use one gift card per 24 hours.

    Buy the coupon code using the multiple means, then use the coupon code for the full purchase. Leaving nothing left over.

    I don't get why using a $100+ coupon code on a purchase doesn't get you the promo medal if the basket amount is more than the coupon, but does if it is exactly what the coupon code is for. Andrew is funny sometimes. :p

    I think andrew means the purchase of the coupon counts, not its use by the code recipient.

    Ah, that makes sense then. I completely misunderstood. Thank you for that clarification. My mistake.

    It's simple: If there is $100+ of IRL $ coming in, promo is applied. Coupons don't count as IRL money when they are used, they do when they are being purchasing however.
