Just noticed I had an offer for 25% off on Logos Ultimate...that expired last month.

I might have actually taken advantage of that, but for the "now or never" mechanism. At this point, Logos has left many thousands of my money (at least 5-figures worth) on the table because of the "limited time offer" gimmick. I've mentioned this phenomenon before. I rarely have the ability to immediately jump on a high ticket offer. The humorous thing is that I deposited a one-time insurance check today that probably could have paid for that discounted Ultimate package outright. I seriously doubt that money will be available the next time a "now or never" sale comes around. I realize that's "just how its done", but it's not how I do it. This is probably the dozenth time in the last few years that I've missed FL's sale windows on purchases I wanted to take advantage of, but the window ends up shutting days or sometimes even hours before I'm able to act. I thought the old Logos 7 expansions were on sale till the end of last month, but that sale ended in the middle of the month (go figure), and so a ~$400-500 purchase didn't get made. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to play whack-a-mole, except I'm trying to spend money instead and just don't get the chance. Sorta bizarre. It doesn't help that Logos is beholden to my old, almost never used email account (because it's tied to my Logos forum account) that I rarely check these days. Oh, well...I've learned that money potentially spent on Logos resources spends just as well on other things, too.

    I've gotten several calls and emails (from two different sales reps) recently, wanting to sell me a specific base package. I've also been told that an (unrelated) offer had ended, but they would extend the discount if I wanted to still take advantage of it.

    If you want to buy Ultimate even through that special deal has "ended," call sales and see what they can do for you. It's a good time to call.

    Sales rarely are "now or never." There will be other base package sales before L9 comes out (but again, FL would rather sell you that base package now, rather than down the road).

    It doesn't help that Logos is beholden to my old, almost never used email account (because it's tied to my Logos forum account) that I rarely check these days.

    Call Customer Service and have them change your email address. They can even arrange it so you won't lose your post count.

    Alternately, forward email from that less-used account, to one that you check regularly.

    Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!
