Beta tester discount

edited March 2012 in DrivePool
I'm just curious if anyone has any extra discounts for beta testing that they would be willing to share? At the end of the Scanner 1.0 beta Alex said testers who submitted multiple bug reports would receive multiple discount codes, which they were then free to give away if they liked.

So, I was hoping the same applies this time around and someone would help me out. Yeah, I should have found something to report myself, but I didn't have anything go wrong that wasn't already known, and too late for that now anyway.

I'm actually looking to get both DrivePool and Scanner, and the half price deal sounded pretty attractive. Maybe the same will be offered at the end of Scanner 2.0 beta?

    Currently (well, last I knew, which was just yesterday) if you buy DrivePool you get emailed a discount for 50% off Scanner.

    Or you could pay Alex the whopping $20 for the software, his pricing is extremely reasonable in comparison to the other crap drive pooling solution.

    "in comparison to the other crap drive pooling solution."

    Said with such feeling, but oh so true. There is no comparison on ease of use, there is no comparison on price

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying his product isn't worth the price he's asking. Maybe $20 is no big deal for you, but for many people, especially these days, that's not the case. At least I'm trying to scrape together some money to pay for the product. Many people don't even do that, so please don't chastise me for trying to do the right thing.

    Not really sure where anyone had done that!

    If $20 is hard to justify and come by, having a dedicated server for whatever reason shouldn't be a priority.  You should consider it selling it and putting the money away for more important things.

    Just saying...

    Sorry daveyboy37, I meant DrTone, not you. Maybe I was being a bit sensitive. It just struck a nerve when someone tells me to pay the full price, as if such a possibility had never occurred to me. The reason I'm looking for a discount is because money is a concern. While DrTone might intend to support Alex, if I don't buy it then it's worse than if I had just paid half price.

    I do appreciate the comment about 50% off Scanner with a purchase. You were trying to help, so I appreciate that.

    Okay, I've looked into this. The current round of DP beta-testing discount codes weren't designed to be transferable; the facility may happen (or not) in a future update, but the current codes require manual oversight.

    TransientTRP, please check your private messages. Alex has agreed to transfer my discount to you. Just remember to pass the karma onwards when money's less tight. :)

    Thanks Shane and Alex, I really appreciate it. I'll be sure to let others know about the benefits of DP and Scanner and hopefully as a result send a few more purchases your way.

    Morning :)

    I bought DrivePool for $20 (£13 UKP) 

    discount ? emm Yep I put in 3-4 BSOD dumps but $20 !!! Cheap as chips.

    I am interested in the discount on Scanner, do you receive another email or something with a 50% or so off ?

    Hi BlueFishey, you should get an email for a 50% discount off your next purchase (e.g. Scanner). You might have to wait a couple of days for it to show up, apparently the mail server that handles them got a little choked up. :)

    When you have betatestet the program for some time and have submitted suggestion on the forum, will that be eligable to a discount:)?
