Ooooo Dag Nab It!!!
I broke my solemn promise to myself. I bought a game for cash (Menagerie) in the current ERS sale.
I had promised myself that I would not buy anymore games for cash while I still have credits and punches...
But, oh no, BFG is sneaky and slyly getting us to fork over cash in addition to our membership fee by giving us such good sales it seems crazy not to buy the dang game at half price - EVEN THOUGH I have at LEAST 20 recent unplayed CEs.
Oh, the dastardly fishy creature!!!

jkuci...Did you get your bonus punch? With so many sales you eventually get worn down and all your good intentions go out the window.

If you look at the tech thread for the TGT it's full of people not getting their extra punches, for that game as well as others.
I tried the game on the hardest level ... I think it's called Nightmare or something similar ... and you certainly don't get any help - no black bar tips, no cursor change, no sparklies (not even for HOS). And you have to click on the ? to get instructions for the puzzles. I was thinking about getting it today with 2 other SEs on BP Monday but, given that no one seems to be getting their extra punches, I think I'll wait until next month and get it when I normally do ... right before my PCCs run out so I can decide which ones to get.

The same thing happened to me, sunshine ~ I bought the Twilight Pheonomena: Strange Menagerie CE and thought it would use my GCC but I guess you have to have two because I still had it after my purchase (guess they took cash, darn it) and then I used a PCC on League of Light: Dark Omens. When I looked at my punches, there were only 4 so I also did not receive any punches. Man, seems they can't do anything without a problem any more and I'm going to hold off using the other two I had planned to use until later in the day and see if it gets fixed. Going to send in a complaint to CS since I'm sure they are being deluged right now and there is no way to complain. Think I will go check the FB page.
eta: didn't see everyone else's post ~ just went to recent posts and saw your's sunshine and didn't go to next page.

Yikes! I needed to clear my browser history (it was HUGE). So I copied the thread in the search box, cleared, pasted the thread info and got "no results found". I tried that several times with the same result. I couldn't even get a listing of threads when I Googled Broadhost. I finally sent them an email. Just now I check bookmarks and it was in there!
I'm still thinking of getting a game or three today.

Please can anyone tell me whether you have received your bonus punches for today? Once I hear that bonus punches are given today, then I will go ahead and do my purchases. I've been reading in the forums that many people have not received their punches, and some of you have also mentioned it. I may want to get an ERS game or two since it's half off.

Barre, I just checked out the TGT where everyone's been complaining about not getting their extra punches and one of the mods has now said that there was an error but that it's now been sorted out and everyone who should have gotten an extra punch will get it.

Barre, I might get Twilight Phenomena: Strange Menagerie as an SE with a PCC but only if I have one left over and it's about to expire. I'm afraid 20 bars of soap and dressing up a strange-looking whatever it was isn't enough to get me to buy the CE, even at half price (and there are always BOGOF sales). Initially I thought it was way too easy but then I came across the first puzzle where you can choose your difficulty - hard or casual - and play both if you want (just reset before you move the last piece) and that's the only thing that made it more interesting for me and made me consider getting the SE. I'm afraid that after just having to find 111 collectibles in Nearwood 20 just doesn't cut it for me.
I've got Haunted Legends: The Curse of Vox SE. If I remember correctly I got the SE as the colletibles were seeds that you had to plant and crossbreed to sell to get money to buy something. But it had nothing to do with the game at all and just interrupted the flow of play and didn't interest me at all. And apparently it gets a bit confusing halfway through. AND it's short.
And Barre, do you REALLY need to get them now, rather than wait until the next BOGOF sale when you can use credits or PCCs to get whatever games you want? And you'd be starting a new card, wouldn't you? So will you fill a card up, given that it's only a week until the end of the month? Don't let the lure of a half-price sale entice you to spend your hard earned cash when you were all set to wait until next Monday when it would be the start of another month.
