I have a hard time believing that a unique one person code was more successful than a monthly $20 off code that multiple people could use?
So they'd rather have one person possibly place another order by giving them a code than have a general code, that based on this site, always seemed to generate multiple new orders on products?
I know they don't have to offer anything but in just the short time I've been on this site, the amount of orders people say they have placed based on just those codes surely had to generate enough revenue to offset the $20 they were offering?
Obviously exclusives will still have to be purchased through SS but there are too many other worldwide dealers offering SS and HT products at prices that are just as, if not more competitive than SS, even with the rewards SS offers.
Personally I can't say anything negative about my experiences with SS but it was the little things like these monthly codes that set them apart or swayed me to make my purchases through them.
Hopefully in the future they have a change of heart but this is just another feature among a few others that SS has drifted away from that used to make them the unique company they once were.
