SEGway Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This company is new to me, but I'm really liking what I've heard so far. So, I'm wondering.... Is it cheating to use the $10 code for audio downloads on multiple orders? Is there an unlimited number of times that it's valid (within the time limit when the code expires automatically)? I don't want to take advantage unfairly of a loophole, but I'd really enjoy snagging several new courses for 4.95 a download. I already agonized over which one to get at that price, and after I purchased it and toyed around with my second choice in the shopping cart, it took the code again. Is this normal? (chews fingernails hopefully...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It is normal. you should have seen our ordering frenzies right after Christmas (there must be an old thread somewhere...) If they did not want it, they'd limit the reusing of the code by the same user, which should be very easy to do technically. Since they don't do that, I have to assume they are OK with it.

elegantlion Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 So what did you buy? I don't know that there is a limit, but I know many people use the codes on multiple orders. I bought Aristotle's Ethics for 4.95 yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEGway Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 :) Huzzah! I started with Life and Writings of John Milton. Next up was C.S. Lewis. Maybe Augustine? I'm thinking about the Vandiver ones on the Iliad and the Odyssey (They would be 9.95 ea. if I entered them separately). Or maybe one of the composers highlighted by Greenberg. Even getting all the $5 bargains will probably add up if I don't stop myself at some point. It's ridiculously exciting to me. How did I not find these people before now??

elegantlion Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The Vandiver lectures have a huge following here. We're used The Iliad and Odyssey ones this year, they truly make the reading of those books more comprehensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEGway Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 So...twenty dollars later, I am the proud new owner of Milton, Lewis, Augustine, and the Aeneid lectures. I think I'll take a little break, now. It's nice of them to mark them up so tremendously at the beginning so I can feel like I just saved hundreds of dollars instead of spending twenty I hadn't planned on. I'm actually in the middle of the three middle ages courses by Philip Daileader. (They were a great amazon deal earlier this year :) I thought I would wait till I finished them before getting any more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEGway Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think I'll take a little break, now. I got this in my email this morning. Maybe that break will be shorter than I thought. Thankyouverymuch. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I didn't see anything I couldn't live without. I'm on a forced break from TTC because I spent waaaay too much at Christmas. At least I have Coursera to keep me busy. :D I have vowed not to purchase anything from TC until I have listened to at least 50% of my Christmas purchases (not all of them, since some courses are intended for DS' history next fall). But I barely started - so no new courses for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEGway Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 It was in a mailer and came with a priority code...does that make it customer specific? Is it unethical to share on the internet? Ack!

SEGway Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I love Retail Me Not, but this code isn't on there. It wasn't in their magazine or flyer, it was in a text letter with what looked like other account specific information. I know companies send this stuff out to make it seem all special and exclusive. And, it's usually not. I just don't want to not be eligible for future codes because I blabbed when I wasn't supposed to. And, now I just sound all selfish. sigh. ETA: I just found the paper again, and it doesn't sound all secret-y the way I remembered. Or whatever. "AAWW" should score whoever is interested an additional $10 off any audio/visual downloads. :hurray: Sorry to be so pokey about posting. I have all sorts of internal ethical dilemmas that shouldn't really bother anyone in the universe. But, it takes me waaaay to much time to untangle them to my own satisfaction.

SEGway Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 You can feel free to share. Their own marketing strategy is to overprice then put their products on sale for a ridiculous amount to make you feel some sense of urgency to purchase. The coupon codes are just a way of tracking what price points work and how they spread. At least, that's my opinion on the matter. So, you are actually doing us a benefit by sharing your coupon codes because it's telling them, we like this coupon. :D Feel better? Much better. :) Thanks.

SEGway Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Oh, and in order to pass along the sense of urgency....(this is a direct quote, including the CAPS) "But you must ACT NOW -- this offer expires March 31, 2013!"

Just Another Jen Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks for the code! I ordered the odyssey, Iliad, and life in ancient times. We are set for next fall! Does anyone recommend the algebra DVDs? Are they somehow better than the khan academy videos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlynn Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Rivendellmom, my son MUCH preferred the teaching company algebra to Khan academy. We managed to get those on sale too, something like $34. Professor Sellers is very engaging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funathome Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hi. Algebra One and TWO are a "set" on sale right now for $149, for BOTH taught by James Sellers.

Corraleno Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 There's a new priority code that's good for 70% off ALL courses, plus free shipping — and you can combine it with the $10 off code (I just used them together). Both codes expire 3/31. Priority Code: 82810 Coupon Code: AAWW Together they save $20-25 over what you would pay for DVDs/CDs with shipping. If you want more than one item, buy them separately, since you can reuse the $10 off code each time, and the shipping is free. (With the sets, though, it may work out the same — e.g. buying the 2 Algebra courses separately works out exactly the same as buying the set, so you might as well order the set.)

Melabella Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 This may be a stupid question, but I am not technically inclined. Thankfully, my husband is; he's just not available right now. If I purchase a course in digital audio format and download it, can I then transfer that to a cd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
