Feedback on 70% OFF "Tough Topics" Mobile Ed Bundle

My concern is the 10% discount. I wanted to upgrade to P/C Gold. My price before this sale began was $122 and change. Now with the sale and the so called 10% discount is still $122 and change. Shouldn't it be less or is there a coupon we must apply?

Ps. Yes, I did add a Mobile Ed course to the shopping cart along with the P/C Gold upgrade and the price on the upgrade didn't change.

This course is the forerunner to Dr. Heiser's Unseen Realm book. I watched the video portion during the free Mobile Ed preview weekend, but have not gone through the complete course, so I can't speak about it overall.

I thought the video portion was very good, and actually picked up the Tough Topics bundle specifically for this course, and NT385. 70% off was too good to pass up.

If you have Logos Now, the Tough Topics discount does not stack with it.

The argument is that Logos Now gives us 10% off year round, whereas other customers only get 10% off during specific sales.

I'm hoping that when libraries generally go on sale again for everyone, it will be a combo discount, and LN members can save a little extra.

Where's the fun and extra benefit of being a LN member if discounts don't stack? 😕

I understand FL position on the discount but as you pointed out Rick the advertising is misleading. FL have a history of not thinking through their marketing copy before going live with it. This is not the first time they have got it wrong. They should honour the stackable 10% discount to all Logos Now members, learn from the mistake, and get it right first up next time. I have never dealt with any other company who has to 'clarify' the terms and conditions, along with what it is you actually get for your money as much as FL has had to do.

I don't want to hijack my own thread, but ... I don't think it should be valid for Faithlife NOT to stack it.  It doesn't say only non LN members will save 10%.  The ad line reads as follows:

Get the most out of your Mobile Ed courses with Logos 7. Save 10% when you purchase it along with any course in this sale.

But LN members are NOT saving 10% by purchasing L7 along with any course in the sale.  They are paying the same price they would ordinarily pay for it as an LN member, for which honor they have already paid a fee.  If Faithlife is not going to stack the 10% advertised savings for their LN subscribers, that should be spelled out very clearly in a big, bold, colorful font.  I wasn't planning to buy a library so it doesn't affect me, but I feel the pain for others like DAL who were planning to do so.

Extra benefit? FL just gave us a $50 off coupon. I'm sure some people bought $100 libraries for $50. (Additional 50% off our regular 10% off.)

That's beside the point. Based on the advertisement, it should be an additional 10% just for buying a course. It should have nothing to do with our already in place 10% discount. As other have mentioned, LN members are not really getting anything if we buy a course.

True, True

I will probably not renew LN after this year- unless they really start making it worth while. I know some of us have different views on this program- but mine is I'm helping finance their R&D- which means I expect a lot more bells and whistles being brought forth to experiment with.

The packages they come up with really do not interest me that much any longer- unless they include resources I really want an save me a substantial amount, upgraded to Baptist plat. which will most likely be the last upgrade (since these offerings are full of (MO) junk works, I'll never use).

Individual resources to be honest I have been buying used in competitors or dead tree- saving tons of $$. Some resources are just better when book is in hand.

What has caused this change for me has been the fiasco that every time you hilite something it creates a new note file- I am done with hiliting in Logos- and have dumped the notes function as well. Not to mention that the linking has go to pot in Logos.

So frustration with this program can have absolutely nothing to do if I get an extra 10% or not- since I have by purchasing most of the new offering elsewhere have been saving 40% or better even off pre-pub.

This is by no means a condemnation of the software- simply just saying.

So expect now the worshippers will get started with their diatribe and we'll have to endure months of retort.

As I have been saying about this company for a long time this company puts out misleading advertising far too much. It will only be fixed when the problem is recognised by and taken ownership of by the head of the company and he drives change down through the ranks.

When I recently asked my rep about Logos Now discounts stacking with other promotional discounts, he not only told me that they do not stack, but, "The idea behind the Logos Now discount is to get you a discount when there isn't another one offered on either the library purchase or the feature set purchase" (as opposed to getting additional discounts when there already is a sale). I would have NEVER got that from Faithlife's marketing of Logos Now.

The advertisemen says "Learn from Wright" but I don't see any instructor by the last name Wright; and if there was, is this NT Wright? I think there should be an NT Wright course on the NPP to hear the teaching directly from the horse's mouth.

Edit:  never mind I found it is NT Wight  on the five views on the millennium.

I purchased the bundle but haven't had a chance to use any of it yet.

If you think that the bundle may be of interest to you, you could purchase it and try it for a month. If it doesn't meet your expectations or needs, just contact Logos for a refund.
