fralala Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Mystery Science is having a special offer on their website right now-- all existing lessons are free for the next year if you sign up now. The cost was the primary thing prohibiting me from signing up, so I am excited and wanted to share. (And for anyone who tried to sign up a few days ago and found it wasn't allowing you access to all the lessons, that issue has been fixed.) 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekorda Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 This is GREAT! THANK YOU. I was going back and forth between a box curriculum or going on my own with a Science Encyclopedia. I think this will work well with the second (and cheaper) option. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrousel Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Mine is only showing the first mystery of each unit unlocked, how do I get all the existing lessons without purchasing, or am I misunderstanding? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Isle Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 You don't get access till Sunday, and yes, don't give away friend's emails to companies. They will not like it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Isle Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 What the He&* does this mean for those of us who just purchased? :confused1: Grrr. If it was recent I would email them and ask what they can do for you. I mean, I looked and it's over 100 dollars, right? Wow, I'd be bummed too!

nature girl Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 So when you provided your email, did it just take you to a page that asks you to sign up for a year (for $129?) I didn't get an email confirmation or anything, so I'm not sure if I've done something wrong. (I did sign up a few months ago to check out the free lessons, so the site must have recognized me, when I provided my email it asked me to log in with a password...I did, and it took me to a page inviting me to pay for membership. :confused1: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaniemom Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 So I was also miffed that I paid and now it was free. I e-mailed and the response I got indicated that this will act like last year's free trial. Everyone will have access to what is there now but will not be able to access any added content throughout the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue plaid Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yes, not pleased that I bought this through HSBC to use this year. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowlark Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Okay, I called and expressed my frustration. I was told that someone would call me back, and they did about 15 minutes later. I was told that they are refunding everyone who recently purchased, all 100 of us. We are supposedly getting an email with a refund within 2 business days. The "trial" is going to be different from the previous trial where one mystery was unlocked-we will have full access to all of the mysteries, but perhaps not the new ones added, which is fine by me. Anyway, I was impressed with the customer service, providing I actually do get that refund. I'll let you all know. They surely don't want to upset us homeschoolers in the infancy of their company, right? I'm sure hoping anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Twain Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I had six months free last year for my 3rd grader, and the program was excellent. I was happy to purchase a membership for this coming year so I could support this company that is working so hard to meet a real need in homeschooling science. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeschoolingHearts&Minds Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Couple tips: If you have previously signed up for an account with Mystery Science, if you use the same email to sign up for this deal, you won't get the deal (it will just log you into your old account). If you don't want to give them emails of your friends (which would probably really annoy your friends) you can still get referrals to open your account early---copy the link they give you in the referral email and you can then post it on facebook or Twitter or even in this thread. It is a unique link---if people use it to sign up, Mystery Science is tracking those referrals (my account just opened up because 5 people signed up using my link---I posted to my blog and Twitter). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake and Pi Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It's pretty cool that they're doing this again! I signed up for the free trial for the 2015-2016 school year in Feb, so we only really got 3 months of the free trial last year. I do wish I'd heard about it at the beginning of the year so we could have had an entire school year free, but 3 months is better than nothing. I paid for a 2016-2017 subscription and think it's very much worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caedmyn Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hoping this might be a good supplement to keep my busy boys out of trouble on occasion...one in particular is very science-minded. I signed up, but already have science planned out for the year and don't want to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
