Not really, the special pack you receive if purchased within the promotion period will still have the bonus if you open it after the promo ends. The packs in the store will revert back to ones with no bonus.
Their exception is the first and second bullet points... * All ships in the C-Store are 20% off excluding Command ships. * All Command ships in the C-Store are 15% off
This has nothing to do with the First-Time Buyer Pack. If you have comments/suggestions about this promotion then by all means post here. If you have comments/suggestions about other things then you're welcome to post in threads appropriate for those systems or start your own thread in the General Discussion section.…
The bonus reward has not been sent yet. We had to gather the information of those that got the original email and then qualified for the bonus reward. We hope to have this sent out later today but that is pending the receipt of the last bit of info we need to send it. Thanks for your patience.
This promotion turned on at the same time as the 15% Charge Bonus Promo. So, if you bought your ZEN through the Arc Games client or website while the 15% Charge Bonus was running, or even after because this First-Time Buyer Rewards system is still running, then you qualified and get the package.
Everyone is eligible and treated on equal footing for this new reward. You are still eligible to receive the reward, just like someone who has never bought before, by making a purchase of ZEN.

So, it came down to not releasing it until it could be overcome which could result in significant delays getting this going or releasing it without Steam counting and seeing if we can overcome…
Update, purchases of Zen through Steam do not qualify for this pack. If you made a purchase of zen on steam between 9am - 12pm PST today then you can send in a support ticket and our CS team can activate the package for you if they can verify your purchase.
Nothing disappears after 15 mins. It can take up to 15 mins for the package to appear in your Promotions section of the C-Store for you to claim. It stays there.
It is not retroactive for purchases made before 9am today. But any Captain, even if they purchased before, that charges zen for STO after 9am today will qualify for the pack and have it applied to their account. Zen stipends from the Lifetime Subscription do not count towards this. Purchasing a subscription or Pack on…
I need to step in here and say a couple of things. There have been some very aggressive posts leveled towards the community team as well as the development team. I need to urge all of you that while there may be changes that you do not agree with, there is a right way to express your thoughts and frustrations and a wrong…
We know what is causing it and we know that it will be fully cleared up in 2-3 days. You may start seeing improvement even before that. There is a system that is working through a quick change when you first log in post patch. With the high number of logins the first day or two it is causing that lag just in the social…
