Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

So if my math is right....rejoining this month with a referral code for a year brings the price down to about $18 a record.

$435/year
-$80 referral
----------------
$355
/12 records + 8 bonus records
$17.75 + tax

That ain't too shabby and is likely the best price you'll find for a long time.

I think the referral is bumped up for international members to $99 off for a year?

Does the referral thing run until the end of the month?

I’m up for renewal this month but going to let it lapse and maybe going to take advantage of this deal. Is the 80 referral credit to your store account or does it take 80 dollars off price of the sub? My problem would be finding 8 free records to pick. I know of two in the free stuff that I would actually really want. Trying to stop buying shit just because it’s a good deal.

It takes it off your sub price.

I couldn't find anything saying how long it's a thing for, but my guess is for the month.

Hoping so. If I do wind up sucked back in I can't make it happen until the 29th at the earliest.

I know some people are getting some records they want and then selling the others to subsidize the subscription even further or trading them into a local.

I think I'll commit to a 12 month membership, only problem is I'm currently a month to month member. Think their system will care or will it just care that I upgrade my subscription term?

Also, wonder if I could sign up with another email address?

I think you will have to let your current membership expire then resub after swaps close.

you can also use another email address without any issue to start a new account.

Fuck it, i'll just start a new account. Shoot me a DM if you would like to be my referral, since your quick maths decided me to lose all my money

I had a look at that because I thought it looked like a good deal.

I could only pick 4 out of the 8 bonus albums from the selection.

Talk about omens lol!

I just did the same and I would be hard pressed to get to 8...

Went ahead and "joined the club" with another email. Why'd that feel like I did something illegal . I decided to start with Ray Charles and chose these as my bonus records.

Really glad I did this actually. I've been buying so few VMP records since the price hike a while ago because I've been month to month and a lot of those records I couldn't justify spending $53 on. $18 a month is far easier to swallow.

absolutely excellent choices. That Ernest Hood is so good. And honestly I'm shocked that Spirit in the Dark is still available. i've now gotten 3 copies of it to gift to various friends and family.

yea--I couldn't find 8 either since I either have the ones I want or don't love some choices. but I grabbed a few for friends for christmas presents and have seen lots of other people sell their bonus records for a little less than VMP charges pretty easily. can help to subsidize the plan even more.

Yeah I suppose. Plus the fact that looking through the last year of releases on all tracks and being shocked at just how few I’d even be willing to try, never mind that’s I’d want or like.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Damn I'm glad I didn't re-up in August, and have a chance to get a better deal. There's not really a record I want to start with though this month. I forgot, can you swap your choice right off the bat?

you can sign up with any previous ROTM but don't know if you can swap for credit or a store exclusive on your first month?

definitely the other hold up i think for many people and since you don't like jazz you have less choice haha. at $18 a record in the US, it's a bit easier to take a chance on something and sell if ya don't like it. there have been a few months lately where i haven't wanted anything enough so have swapped for store credit then used that on anthologies, Dolly or something in the store.

Thanks, I suppose I'll browse around a bit before I commit as any previous rotms I can get with the other 8. I know when I looked back in August I came up with a pretty solid 8, so hopefully most those are still around, and maybe some new ones.

i believe as long as things have decent stock from previous ROTMs, many go into the freebies pile 3 months after initial release.

@avecigrec i asked about when this promo expires for the referral and they have said they are hoping to keep it ongoing and it was not built as a "quick promo". things can always change of course! but i imagine you have a little time to resub.
