[US/CA] LEGO Shop at Home Promotions for March 2012

a quick question. if I use vip reward . will I earn same amount of vip points?or only minuse vip rewards?

If you have $50 of points and you buy something for $50 you will receive no points.
If you have $20 of points and you buy something for $50 you will receieve 30 x 2 points (assuming the double points offer).

:)

^ Yes, to expand upon this - basically you earn VIP points only on actual dollars spent, not the 'value' of the set you're buying. Correct me if I'm wrong, someone who knows better, but I believe you will earn the full VIP point amount on an item if you're using a gift card (since it's considered another form of currency, basically). This is why you don't earn VIP points on gift card purchases themselves - you could use this loophole to earn double VIP points all the time.

Using VIP rewards actually reduces the price paid for all goods, however, resulting in a new price for each item bought, and a new VIP point amount based on that price. Your final 'invoice' when buying from S@H will show you the 'actual' price paid and VIP points earned per item.

For those who didn't know, MBA Kit 7-9 now includes the free MBA poster.

There are actually two separate MBA posters.

For Kits 1 and 2-6, it's this one: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Free-exclusi ... ?s=6021657

For Kit 7-9 it is the "Adventure Designer" themed poster: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Free-exclusi ... ?s=6027567

My first order consisted of:
Town Hall
Pet Shop
Grand Emporium
Earning 999 vip points.

I already had 149 points but for some reason since the order was so large 499.97 they went through extra security measures :( so I still have not received my points for that. I got impatient and placed another order for the Batman Twoface 6864, Lego truck 3221, 7280 and 7281 road plates. I used 100 points for 5.00 off of this order and received 219 more. Once the first order clears I will have 1267 points to use toward the Fire Brigade.

^^ Thanks for the info - didn't realize that!

Oh and if you use all VIP points on a set there is no sales tax added to the order!

Was able to order the 7-9 Kit with VIP points and free shipping and no sale tax! :)

It's always a good idea to EARN points (by spending real money) during double VIP points periods and spend VIP points at some later date

[happymark]

Yes. I just learned that! which caused another big order I placed last night and accumulated about 1000 points for now... phew.. which means spend more ..

For this promotion the shipping seemed to go faster. I ordered on the 14th and got my stuff on the 16th. Every time in the past I've waited a week or so to get my brick. Anyone else have a fast turnaround?

Yes, I ordered Tuesday and received the set on Thursday. It was very fast!

Both of my orders were 1 day shipping. I ordered on the 14th and it was delivered on the 15th. The 2nd order was shipped on the 15th and delivered today. It might help that I am in Louisiana and its shipping from Mississippi.

[slacker]

The manager at my store was willing to offer free shipping if the set you wanted was not available. That's a pretty sweet deal if you have store near by.

[MitchMitchem]

I've always received free shipping from the store if the item I wanted was out of stock...I don't think it is related to the promo.

Yes. I found it yesterday too (in another thread). apparently it triggered 10% off when you ordered certain PF accessories... not bad :D
