cintinative Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I just learned you can get a discounted rate if you have a homeschool group of 30 subscribers or more ($12). I found this site that is offering to manage the process. Does anyone know about this site? http://homeschoolgroupbuys.com/index.php/2016/01/05/prodigy-math-game-group-buy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea3829 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Is that per month? Because if so, that's more than the advertised rates on Prodigy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea3829 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ok, read the comments and that is the rate per year, per kid. So that's a much better deal. We have four kids and they have been dying for a membership. Honestly, I don't think it's necessary (mine need no encouragement to play). But they would love it if they could access members only stuff. Now, does anybody know anything about this group offering this group buy? I've never heard of them.

cintinative Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 yes, it is $12 per year per student which is a big discount. We have two kids so that would be a savings of almost $100 per year. We have not bought a membership yet because of cost. I'm just a bit nervous about this group--I am not sure if it is a safe endeavor or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea3829 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Can you check with Prodigy? (I can check later, when I'm not supposed to be teaching a lesson, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I can send an email. I am not sure if this particular site has ever done this group buy before and since they have not sent the money in so to speak I don't know if Prodigy can tell us if they are legit. I suppose we could do a group buy on here if we could get 30 users to sign up. I am just not sure how you organize that.

SparklyUnicorn Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I had my son try it and he really likes it. But looking at what one gets for the paid version, I'm not sure it is worth it. Seems like it works well without paying extra for it. That said, if I could get it for a year for $12 I would be willing to pay that amount. I did sign up for the group buy.

Pretty much, the only reason I'd buy the membership, is to get my kids off my back about it, lol. It is absolutely unnecessary and has no bearing on the game's functionality. Except, all those things my kids want to add to their character, or capture, and can't, lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 FYI-- Thanks for contacting Prodigy Customer Support! You can create your own group if you wish or join another. We don't facilitate the groups.The group membership purchase requires a minimum of 30 memberships. Please let me know if there is anything else i can assist with Sincerely, Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hands-on-mama Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I would be in for a group buy! I have two daughters that play this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 sparklyunicorn did you join this group buy (the link I posted)? I am debating. I mean, it's paypal so I'm protected, sort of. Right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I did end up doing this and we have the memberships up and working. Unfortunately Prodigy keeps kicking my kids out lately. Anyone else having this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea3829 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I was wondering how the membership was going. Our tax refund just came in and I'm tempted to buy the membership, but only if I could get it at the group rate. From time to time, we experience connectivity issues with Prodigy. It isn't that we get kicked off, it's that we can't even access it. They weren't able to figure out why, other than perhaps an issue with our ISP. Sometimes I can circumvent the issue by googling the website and clicking through that way. Other times, we have to just wait a day or so. It's random, but it has happened less in the last couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I am not sure if you can still sign up for the group buy but I guess you could email the person managing it and see if you can be added. Everything went smoothly with the buy--there was good communication, etc. Prodigy said they are working on the problem with people getting kicked off. My kids are obsessed with it now that we have a membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarson Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 There's a second group buy set up to end 3/16. $12 is a great price and I agree, it's totally worth it to get my daughter off my back! :) She LOVES playing this and I very much love that she's doing math and learning while playing a silly game on the computer! Win/Win for everyone!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea3829 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Where is the second group buy? Can you link it? Edited February 24, 2016 by Sweetpea3829 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just activated this yesterday. DS is really enjoying this, and he hates math in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
