John Mitchell Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yesterday, a small print-run editorial RM sale popped up in my account, and I thought to myself that it was a fair amount (for both the buyer and me) for the particular usage. I decided to run the licensing info through the Alamy price calculator and much to my surprise the price given was an exact match, which was encouraging to see for a change. How common (or rare) is this phenomenon these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York Photographer Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Nice one, must have been a non account customer, who hasn't seen the discount codes flying around, buying directly on a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Nice one, must have been a non account customer, who hasn't seen the discount codes flying around, buying directly on a credit card. I hadn't realised that Alamy supported discount codes, so I just did a quick search on "Alamy discount code" and was surprised to see offers all over the place. Are these genuine? Can customers really get 20-30% off? I suppose if the price starts from the calculator price it's not so bad. But aren't prices low enough anyway?

Yup, they're genuine enough alright - just tested one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyn Llun Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 There are 99% ones out there too. Alamy lets clients have them as 'personal sales'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMelbourne Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Not quite what I meant. The point being is that this is a public forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdemas Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Not quite what I meant. The point being is that this is a public forum. I take your point, but I think that the fact that Alamy is proactively putting the coupons out there is probably a little more salient! The thread has been started to question this. Anyone that wants to take advantage of the situation is pretty unlikely to be led by me - they would merely try it for themselves (something that any commercial organisation is likely to do)!
