I just got an email for Perfect World Zen Coupon (15% bonus) today (dated Dec 24) that comes with a coupon code. Is this a one-time use only code or can I use it several times? Can I charge several times over the next week using this code and get the 15% bonus each time or do I only get 1 shot at getting the bonus with this code?

Another question : If the coupon code is for one-time use only, can I use a friend's coupon code to buy more zen later in the week? Or are the coupon codes bound to your account?

    I think they are only good once. At least the last one I used was like that. I guess it doesn't hurt to try again after your first purchase though.b:laugh

    The last one you used, did you try to use it twice and the 2nd time it rejected the code?

    If a GM sees this, it would be nice to get an official answer.

    The second time I used it, it just gave me an error before I ever got to paypal.. something like coupon already used, or invalid coupon. Either way, it was before I got past the first page.

    I see, so the coupon is only good for $50 max? I think that's the highest amount you can charge at a time (that's the one with the $3 zen bonus).

    I have the exact same question. I got the coupon, but have never bought zen. I would like to purchase $150 and use the coupon, but I only see up to $50 increments. I would love some advice from a GM

    the question is related to the topic, so...

    i got the email, with the coupon code, like probably many others did.

    upon trying to use it, i ran into error:
    Invalid coupon code. Please try again

    which isn't nice, since from what i looked at and searched, that is possible answer for already USED code. i know i've not used it yet though so... was same code sent to multiple people or something?

    Have a look at the E-mail you got again. Normally you have to use these coupons in a certain time period. If that period has run out you can't use it anymore.

    yes, there is that possibility, but the coupon was mailed on 24th dec

    and has these lines:

    Follow these simple steps in order to get your Free Bonus 15% ZEN:

    1. Go to https://billing.perfectworld.com/charge
    2. Select the payment method and value of your choice.
    3. Enter the following Coupon Code at the bottom of the page:
    *code removed*
    This Coupon Code will expire on 1/16/2010. Take advantage of this limited time offer while you can!

    so, based on that, such is not the case.

    To the OP:

    Someone tried using someone else's code and they are linked to the account.

    Paypal allows you to connect either your bank account or credit card. If you have a credit card, it should be okay b:surrender

    Otherwise your out of luck b:sweat

    So we can't use it if we buy a prepaid card? I entered it in the bottom of the screen and then clicked on redeem prepaid. I haven't entered in the prepaid number since it's a different screen entirely. I don't want to enter it in and not get my 15%.

    Sorry if this takes away from the original question, but I think this could be another person's question as well.

    Thanks

    oh and i just went back and looked......apparently the email is deceiving.

    b:angry

    You only get the 15% if you buy 50$ or more, so never mind. I can't buy that much.

    Please put that in the email next time.

    Thanks

    Dunno what you are talking about, but my 15% free zen coupon worked fine with the $10 amount.

    50us$ gives u 300 extra zen, so 5300 + 15%= 6095 zens, its great, but i didn't received any coupon yet xDDD.
