Boris Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Seeing as the holiday season is coming along, many will want to get some DCS products for christmas. To make things easier for spouses, partners, friends and family members, why not make a gift certificate available that can be purchased in the online store and printed. The gift certificates could have a monetary value with a code that can be used in the store on any product(s). You could for instance offer 20$, 40$, 60$, 100$ vouchers etc... This would also allow the gifting of a DCS present even if a person already owns all modules, as credit can be used on products coming out later down the line.

Abburo Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Even I prepared my gifts "stock" I have to admit that your ideea is even better. Sending a product from my account to another does not change the ownership of it but only the binding (user which can use it at that moment). I can anytime later to unbind again the gifted module and redistribute it. While this is a very good option and have to stay like this, Boris's ideea with a money value voucher could be also a great addition which might be used in different circumstances.

DaddySchlich Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Agree on the benefits of a gift certificate. Much nicer than just asking for money to spend in the E-Shop here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FA_Crazy-Canuck Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Gift Certificates are the way to go. With Christmas around the corner my family want ideas for gifts for me. I would likely have all of the aircraft by now if gift certificates were available. A real opportunity exists here to sell more aircraft. Prepaid cards accounted for over $200 billion in the United States in 2014, per Forbes magazine. DCS you are missing out on a real opportunity to increase sales. Take it from an old retailer, gett'r done! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE-AWG Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 YES! Fix this system...there should be no penalty for buying your friend a module...I have a friend who bought Nevada for a buddy...and it worked for months. Now it's not working! There is two copies of Nevada and two people here...do the Math ED! "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets."

FA_Crazy-Canuck Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks BN. As a retailer I would make sure this is well advertised and marketed on the website it only means more sales. My 2 cents. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangi Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Here's just me playing devil's advocate: If the intended recipient doesn't want DCS/modules/campaigns/maps that's a mighty awkward moment if you're not 100% sure that they want something from ED. Just get one of those Visa/MC/whatever gift credit cards and suggest that DCS might be the way to go in the card or something like that... Yes, the universal gift certificate, cash, has been around for a long time and is still the best way to give. That said, if ED wants to make it and people want to buy it then great.
