Would you get a polybag/freebie

[Tariq j]

Hi, this may seem like an obvious question but after some thought it is debatable, to explain my question in more depth I'll create a small scenario.

Lego are having their spend over 50.00 and get a free polybag thing. Person A goes into a lego shop and buys a set costing £50.00, $50.00, €50.00. This person is not a VIP member and therefore doesn't have VIP points, so he buys the set and gets the freebie for that month. Later person B walks in and wants the same set, unlike person A he is a VIP member and he uses VIP points to get the set.

Now here's the question, would person B get a freebie? Because, theoretically he did not "buy" a set costing 50.00 and used VIP points to purchase it, so would you still get a freebie if you use VIP points to purchase a set?

Pretty sure you do, I'm sure I've done similar when ordering from SaH and still got the freebies.

Yes! I used VIP points to get the Palace Cinema and got the freebie (though I'm struggling to remember what exactly it was)

Yes you will still get promotional sets if you use VIP points to purchase sets. I have done it before and have never had any problems.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm thinking of getting tower bridge with VIP points and I would like to get the clone lieutenant if it comes out in Europe

I received a polybag promo when I paid for a S@H order of Power Function parts completely with VIP points.

Definitely. I used VIP points and still got the Clone Lieutenant. They said that you're still spending the amount, doesn't matter how you pay for it.

This may be a dumb question, but why would you save up so many points to be able to buy a modular? I just cash it in as soon as I can every $100 I spend. Is there a benefit from saving them?

[Lego Otaku]

Save them during double VIP month. Any points you use up to lower the final price also reduces the new VIP so you'd lose out the double points. For normal time, there's no real benefit to saving so I usually use it up when it's available.

Personally I like to save them for when I'm low on funds... It's pointless to get 5 bucks off when you've got plenty of money when you could save up and need a lot of money for a big set that would be harder on the wallet otherwise
