How do I enter a merchandise code? what code is it and where do I find it, you know, on t-shirts and hoodies?

 

It only applies for the merchandise from his Songs For Sorrow tour. For CDs and DVDs you insert the disc into your computer and then match it up with the items listed.

If you ordered any tickets via Mikasounds from the Songs for Sorrow tour, they would have sent you a code.

If you ordered the EP via Mikasounds then only SOME got a code, not everyone.

 

Basically order from MS and see what else you get with it :naughty:

Okay. So.

 

I've added up all the points I will get from the amount of videos and pictures I have uploaded (but are still pending, therefore I haven't received the points yet, grr!)

 

The total comes to an extra 1540 points! Not too shabby I don't think...

I realize we already have a few threads going about this new program,

but I wanted to start a new one, with fresh information --

hope this helps clarify some things.

 

Earlier this morning I spoke to someone over at PUSH -- I originally

just wanted to sort out my own problems with my Mika's Magic

Numbers account.

 

He figured out my issues pretty quickly, but then we talked about the

codes/points system in general.

 

First of all some specific points:

 

-- if you're having trouble logging into the Mika's Magic Numbers account,

change your Mikasounds password, log out, and then log back in with your

new password. That *should* correct the problem. If not contact, PUSH

support.

 

-- the codes for the digital EP will be emailed this afternoon.

 

-- if you bought a poster or a pin set at one of the gigs and got a

card with a code, well, you weren't meant to get it, and that's why

they are probably not validating for you. But they will

honor those codes -- you just have to enter them as if you bought a

t-shirt, then they should be accepted by the system. If you're having

troubles with that, email PUSH's support.

 

-- if you were trying to validate a DVD or CD yesterday and it didn't

work, try it again today. There were a few UPC codes that they

didn't have entered into the system, but they should all be there now.

If you still have problems... you know what to do! :wink2:

 

-- codes/points are not transferable and can NOT be pooled. This program

is meant for individuals, and they will be comparing your codes, which

are unique, against their sales records. If they don't match with your

name/account, you won't receive credit for the codes. Sorry about that.

 

Now about the program in general:

 

The main idea behind the program is to reward the most active, hard-core

fans with things that money can't buy. You'll notice that the prizes

over 35,000 points are things like that -- autographed platinum disk,

etc.

 

They reckon that most fans can accumulate up to 35,000 points

by buying a ticket to a show, the CDs and the DVDs, and being

relatively active on the MS forum. Prizes at 35K points and under

are items that are for sale, but you are able to obtain them

for free with your points.

 

I'm reading a lot of you saying that this is about who has more money,

or that it's to generate a lot of money for Mika. Well, they're

actually trying to avoid that. For instance, buying 5 copies

of the new album won't matter, as only one copy will earn you points.

Sure, if you have more money you can go to more gigs, but that's

how things are normally, right?

 

If everyone continues with their normal

patterns, buying what they would normally buy, posting as they would

normally post, there should be no problems -- it should all be

relatively fair.

 

As I said, you can only validate one copy of each of the CDs

and DVDs, and I think only one poster, maybe a couple t-shirts, I'm not

100 percent sure. But it's not as though you'll get credit for

buying 100 t-shirts. And if you spam the site with hundred of posts,

they'll see that too, and you won't get credit for them. They are

trying to be fair, I think.

 

Now obviously there are some things that haven't been thought through

enough. For example, they probably need to institute limits on the number

of posts a person can make that will earn points. And it doesn't seem

they took into consideration that one person might buy 4 tickets for

friends -- if those codes aren't transferable, they person who *actually*

paid for the ticket won't get the credit. Things like that need

to be worked out, we'll send them some of our thoughts on those

sorts of things that they didn't think about, that might need to be

changed.

 

And I think those are the types of changes that

they're talking about when they say they reserve the right to change

the program at any time -- I don't think they intend to change

point levels for prizes whenever they see someone getting close to

a big item. That sort of legal language is standard in any rewards or

incentive program, IMO -- like the grocery store reward program you

might belong to. They all say that they can change or even discontinue

the program without notice.

 

Anyhow, I think that was all I wanted to let you know about at this time.

 

If you have more questions, they are really encouraging you to email

their support address. They seem very easy-going and great to work

with, so hopefully we can sort the technical issues out quickly. :thumb_yello:

 

 

 

Thank you so much clarifying it all... :thumb_yello:

I am quoting your mail in full as I would like this to jump up again in case some has not read it in full ..

 

Many things make more sense now and having read all this I have now made up my mind to sign up for this point collection later today or tomorrow.

:biggrin2:

:thumb_yello:
