Will you subscribe for this monthly bundle, which goes live on May 6th?
They finally got me... first monthly I'll be buying.
Comment has been collapsed.
Two questions to experienced buyers:
-
-10% coupons, how exactly do they work? I got Humble SEGA Strategy bundle, only for the voucher, but it says that it is only for new subscribers, yet people get more vouchers and use them on several bundles. Here is my question: are there vouchers for people who already subscribed, not only for new buyers?
-
Is this possible to buy more than one Monthly Bundle with one credit card? Because I know it is possible to buy only bundle per account, but how would they treat it if I buy the bundle on two accounts with the same CC?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well 1) They auto charge you... I even wrote that in the description in the op right under the chart :/
You'll be charged $10.80 if you are a current subscriber and have a coupon specifically for current subscribers. I have said in the past to people that you'll get billed one week before the bundle goes out. I have been subscribed ever since the first bundle comes out and the coupon has worked for me using the coupon.
And 2) no. Unless you have different accounts.
- edited - they have changed the system to include two diff types of coupons: 1 for new and 1 for current subs
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the answer, I still wasn't sure about the price. I did buy Aprli Monthly one hour before May Monthly appeared and unsuscribed soon after so they didn't charge me (I wasn't sure about the price of next bundle) and it's great to hear that 10% discount allows to buy Monthly for 10,80% every month.
And to the second question, to fully clarify it: will ONE credit card work with TWO accounts?
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah! it's def a great incentive ... $1.80 off doesn't seem like much but for $1.80 x 12 i can save some money at least ... assuming i stay subscribed for a year.
i am not sure D: it wouldn't hurt to try ... do you have paypal? link your paypal to your CC and thereby make it 2 forms of payment instead of strictly using CC.
For regular HB bundles for example, I can only buy a max of two at at time. I use CC for one, and Paypal for the 2nd time I buy the bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am able to buy two copies of each bundle per payment method I use.
Different CCs or PayPal accounts are different payment methods.
EDIT: I mean weekly bundles, not Monthly.
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you sure dear? I thought there are 2 types of coupons (maybe I am wrong?) - for first time subscribers and general/unconditional 10%. Of course if he did not subscribe up to this month it does not matter but in other cases...?
Comment has been collapsed.
no. the coupon is universal, I believe. Both first time subscribers AND current subscribers can use it. Either way, the 10% coupon is applied
Edit: yep 2 types of coupons :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, you are correct that there are two different types of coupons. See the following images below. The first is from the Humble Indie Bundle 16 and the second from the Humble SEGA Strategy Bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you very much. It confirms what I thought. Also on previous bundles it was just 10% coupon and now it is stated "for new subscribers". Hard to believe it is just a mistake:). But 'time will tell' :).
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, hopefully any future coupons will not have a "new subscriber" restriction. It's kind of annoying because I can't use the coupon from the SEGA bundle. Apparently unsubscribing and then resubscribing doesn't count towards being a "new subscriber". Oh, well. . . .
Comment has been collapsed.
Phestacles, have you tried again with the unsubscribe and resubscribe to get the discount back to $10.8 ? and how many times you succeded using this method ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I tried several times, but without success. Although I've read that unsubscribing and then re-subscribing worked for some people, it never worked for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
It never worked for anyone. Those people had multiple coupons attached to their account, one of which wasn't restricted to new subs, and that is how they got the discount. They were mistaken in their perceptions.

Won Mad Max here a while back, so I'll have to skip this one, but these monthly bundles are getting pretty nice.
Comment has been collapsed.
After 2 Monthly Bundles that were highly unsatisfying, at least for me, i am no longer falling for this.
This might be a great thing for people with a small library, for me, it is mostly a "already own" checklist and not worth the money.
Comment has been collapsed.
Strange. The March Monthly got me interested and I subscribed as soon as I saw the first two games for April. And I have 1800+ games in my library... just not the same ones as you, I guess. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure. :) But I thought you were complaining more about already owning the games than about not being interested in them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not at all. Okay, some were pretty bad (my opinion) but others were good enough to justify this bundles price. The problem is, that i always seem to own the good ones, already :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ha ha, it seems being a cheapskate is paying off well for me! :) But I believe generally speaking the bundle price is justified.

Last month was pretty great and I'm totally salty that I missed it. Wanted to get this one now, but Mad Max wouldn't even run on my machine, so that would be directly to backlog for me. Hm.

I have a laptop that can't even run Borderlands and I keep buying these bundles.. Someone help

I get lots of stuff in anticipation of a future gaming PC and higher-speed internet, so don't feel bad (and no, I'm not just daydreaming, I have an actual plan in the works for hardware upgrades and higher-levels of service).

I too did this and I now have an okay gaming computer that can play the games I bought and it was like Christmas.

Pre-ordered Mad Max before, seeing it on a monthly makes me wonder if the rest of the bundle might warrant a purchase. Could be a post apocalyptic themed bundle. Mad Max, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Wasteland 2 etc. etc. etc.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wasteland 2 was already included in one of previous bundles and I surely hope it wont be F3/NV as they were extremely cheap already and that would be a waste of slots for the bundle :/
Comment has been collapsed.
The bundles aren't themed else there wouldn't be enough variety, and Wasteland 2 was in the March bundle.

So I finally managed to connect my bank account to Paypal
Now I can happily confirm that its indeed about verified Paypal, not about Credit Card and I managed to buy this monthly with only bank account connected :)

anyone know if humble monthly 10% coupons stack for the monthly subscription?
Comment has been collapsed.
hello guys i want your help, cuz i kinda don't understand this humble monthly, for example, i purchase this current humble monthly, i get mad max, and i cancel the subscription, do i get the rest of the games of that bundle when they reveal the other games of the bundle, or only mad max?, thanks in advance
Comment has been collapsed.
You will get the whole bundle when it's revealed. The Mad Max key will be directly available.
It's exactly the same as I did. I bought & cancelled subscription right away. But if the bundles stay this good, i'll be buying again next month probably anywayz.
Comment has been collapsed.
I had same question can i unsubscribe right away(dont like subscriptions :P)
Do they reveal more games before bundle is out?
Is it cheaper(and more games ;P) if i buy 1$ tier Humble Staff Picks bundle and get 10% off coupon for new subscribers(and then subscribe)?
Comment has been collapsed.
yes you can unsub right away if you just want the May Bundle.
No, they don't reveal any more games before the bundle is out.
Get the coupon first, then subscribe.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because I get the same questions in my inbox probably 10+ a day ...
Q: Can i unsubscribe right away if I just want the MAY Bundle?
A: YES, you can unsubscribe away if you just want the MAY bundle. You will get Mad Max + Everything else that will be in the bundle once it goes live.
Q: What is the latest I can be "subscribed" to to avoid being charged for the next month's bundle? (JUNE Bundle)
A: You MUST unsubscribe before they charge you a week before the bundle goes live . The latest to unsubscribe for the MAY Bundle is APRIL 29th.
Q: Will I get everything inside the bundle if I subscribe just for this month's bundle, and then unsubscribe right away?
A: Yes, you get the entire bundle and won't be charged for the next bundle.
Q: Do they reveal games early?
A: NO. They do not provide hints. Sometimes they may, but this is very RARE. One or two day before, they will reveal a Humble "Original," which is an exclusive DRM-Free game provided only by Humble Bundle. However, they DO NOT REVEAL GAMES BEFORE THE BUNDLE GOES LIVE.

Thanks, but I readed it already, and I thought I understood, which it seems I didn't.

The Humble Monthly is always almost "blind" bet. You buy it before whole bundle is revealed (right now the only revealed game is Mad Max, so you can activate this one). Rest of the games will be revealed on May 6th as iskibiribiri said. You can't buy April bundle, it's too late for that.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got the first part, I promise. I thought if you have until 6th may to buy may's budle then any payment before 6th april would be for april's bundle. I'm assumig now april's has already been revealed then. Thanks a lot to all who answered me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bundle is revealed on first Friday of the month. So the last moment to buy April bundle was on April 1st (since that was first Friday).
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll help break down what she said to answer your questions then.
1).but we are in april, aren't we?
"You will NOT receive the April Bundle - it is TOO LATE for that!"
2). Did I subscrbe for may bundle?
"MAY Monthly Bundle
Subscribe before Friday, May 6th for $12* to receive the MAY bundle (?? games total)"
3).What happened with april then?
"You will NOT receive the April Bundle - it is TOO LATE for that!"
4).When are they gonna charge me next then?
"Q: "When is the latest I can unsubscribe to avoid being charged for the next month's bundle if I subscribe for this one now?"
A: ONE WEEK before the next bundle goes live, you will be charged. This means you will be charged APRIL 29 if you want the MAY MONTHLY BUNDLE.
I recommend unsubscribing right away if you know you don't want next month's bundle."
Comment has been collapsed.
sigh
This is why I said MAY bundle not April ... But it looks like honest kiddy helped you out so I hope you understand now. I sent out reminders to people before the April one went live. Now it's too late for that, as I have written many times in the OP
Anyways
Comment has been collapsed.
it's obviously my fault for bad understanding and not yours at bad explaining, you can be sure about that. I signed cause I had the coupon and for the mad-max game, I really don't mind which bundle to receive (and I was 100% sure may's bundle was not revealed yet). Anyway, still newbie, I'll learn. I thinks I thanked you already some weeks ago for your work with the bundles but anyway Id like to do it again. Very helpful.

I find that no matter what I write, people will ask the same questions over and over again. So ... If making the text fancy or bigger gets people's attention, I will do so. I dont know. I just try to be informative, but many people do not read text or still don't understand
Comment has been collapsed.
I just got an email from Humble:
We've experienced an error with your order:
There was a problem with your default payment information.
I subscribed fine for the April bundle with my PayPal and it is my default subscription method.
Now I know I could try changing to a credit card instead, but I want to pay with paypal, but it's not letting me now.
I was wondering if I could unsubscribe and then try to subscribe again with paypal and still get to use my 10% coupon.
I haven't got time to contact support as last time it took days to get a reply.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes you can unsubscribe and sub again for the 10% coupon to work.
I had the same problem too, and I contact support and they got back to me in time. So if anything, send out an email and wait for a response. Or, just cancel your subscription and resubscribe.
I would also update your information again and see if that works.
Comment has been collapsed.
I tried canceling subscription on paypal, and removing and adding paypal account but nothing worked.... Maybe it's because my card on Paypal is not verified? But then how was I able to buy the April Monthly in the first place.... hmm
Anyway, I was afraid of unsubscribing as I saw people commenting below that the coupon doesn't always work if you unsubscribe....
I ended up linking my credit card for subscription and paying with it for the monthly. (though I've heard conversion fees are higher that way than through paypal, but oh well.... I'm sure it's not that much higher)

Hey guys, I forgot to cancel and just got charged with the May bundle.
Is it possible to cancel?

You can email support but if you forgot, you might be out of luck since they charged you already

Thank you Rachel.
Also, although I had a 10% coupon they charged me with 12$
Weird...very disappointing :/

I subscribed from the start, cancelled my order for march or april and subscribed again for may and the discount worked for me. I was no new subscriber

I think it only works only if you skip atleast 1 month.
I remember trying to cancel then re-subscribe a few days later for the same month and the discount didn't work.

I'm not 100% certain though, wonder if someone else can confirm this
Comment has been collapsed.
I used that "trick" aswell! ;)
So it worked for me atleast, first month was 10.80.. Unsubscribed, same price the month after.. Now I got another coupon valid until 5/6 so maybe it'll work a third time lol!
Comment has been collapsed.
That was a good question, I was about to delete the comment because I got veeery unsecure about it myself after reading closer.
So I don't dare to say, someone else would have to confirm that I didn't skip a month yet.
Sorry if it was missleading :]
Comment has been collapsed.
It definitely didn't work for me last month. Coupon was useless, Humble got my back though and gave me a refund almost instantly without issues.

If you have ever previously subscribed to Humble Monthly, this coupon will not be applicable to your account. If you purchase a bundle that contains a coupon for new subscribers, you won't see the coupon in your Library.
Info: Apparantly it's only this kind of coupon on all current bundles :/
So this seems kind of new: "If you have ever previously subscribed...[]"
I guess this was the reason why there is no coupon in my account :/
Would be interesting if you - let's say - skip a month, if it gets applied or if it's really only working if you have NOT "ever previously subscribed"
Comment has been collapsed.
As bones said, it's the Friday of each month that the monthly gets released, I noted that in bold in the OP ><
But yes, it is usually quiet. There are never hints for this
Comment has been collapsed.
But i want to know the other games included before buy :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Humble has never given hints. My advice is to buy the bundle is the game announced is worth the price. If you don't think it's worth the price and the bundle gets something you want you can always try and trade for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought they have given some hints for the monthly bundles.
Comment has been collapsed.
they may have but never like groupees where you can know some games before the bundle launches.
They might announce their special game but normally don't give away the steam key games.

They only gave hints for the original HB Monthly... since then we've gotten clues only for games that were literally debuting in the bundle and/or were made just for HB.

I keep getting two coupons stacking for a total of $9.60 payment, and their system won't allow it to get through. Had to submit a support ticket. -_-
EDIT: Little more than an hour later, and HB fixed the issue. Great customer service. :)

It might be a sign of destiny, if you believe such things...

Those coupons stack, really? Is there any confirmation that the coupons stack?
I have two .. was gonna let them run out, because I don't like gambling.
Maybe I should buy that bundle after all ... but then again, if I subscribe now, I'm stuck with next month's
bundle as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, you're not. You can immediately unsubscribe and thus get only one month's bundle.

Q: What is the latest I can be "subscribed" to to avoid being charged for the next month's bundle? (JUNE Bundle)
A: You MUST unsubscribe before they charge you a week before the bundle goes live.
The latest to unsubscribe for the MAY Bundle is APRIL 29th.
It's May 3rd already though. Also, I can't find any confirmation on those coupons stacking.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why does Rachel state it otherwise in this thread then? The Q&A here says, the latest I can unsubscribe for the MAY bundle would be April 29th, from mwhich I conclude that even if I unsubscribe right away, it would be too late, no?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think now you can only purchase it instead of reserving and only way to get money back would be some refund/chargeback. Before 29th you could just click "cancel" and no money would be send from your credit card.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still, the Q&A here says very clearly, that I would get charged for the JUNE bundle, if subscribing after April 29th.
EDIT: Never mind, I understand now, Rachel just clarified it in the Q&A, thanks for the info.
Comment has been collapsed.
You misunderstand my words. So, I've added this for clarification to the OP ❤
Q: BUT WAIT!! I decided that I want the MAY bundle and it's passed April 29th...! Can I still get it??
-
A: YES. April 29th is the day they AUTOcharge you if you are a recurrent/current subscriber
- [re]current meaning you let the system AUTOcharge you because your payment details are in the system and you don't unsubscribe
-
HOWEVER, if you want JUST the MAY bundle, subscribe for it NOW, PAY, and IMMEDIATELY UNSUBSCRIBE so that you DO NOT get charged for the JUNE bundle.
Your LAST day to get the MAY bundle is MAY 6th BEFORE 10AM PST
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah thanks so much for clarifying. This whole subscription thingy is very complicated.
Now I just need to find out if my two coupons stack (they probably don't).
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol it's confusing, which is why I put up that Q and A and try to be responsive to people's questions.
But no, coupons don't stack >< if they could it would be quite exploitative I feel. You can have people buying bunches of bundles with the 10% off coupon and getting mucho grande discounts
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes I agree, to have them stacking would probably be asking too much, even though it would be still limited to how many
regular bundles you could buy and how long the coupons are valid. This statement still reads as if they were stacking:
I keep getting two coupons stacking for a total of $9.60 payment,
and their system won't allow it to get through. Had to submit a support ticket. -_-
Comment has been collapsed.
No, they don't stack. In my case, it was a glitch in their system that was trying to apply both coupons at the same time, but the payment system wouldn't allow a $9.60 payment, so it was declining my payment every time.
They fixed it now so it only applies one coupon and accepts the payment of $10.80.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that seems more logical then getting it with one that had already a great early unlock.
Comment has been collapsed.
MAY Monthly Bundle.
You will NOT receive the April Bundle or the MAY BUNDLE by signing up now - it is TOO LATE for that!
NEW: SUB FOR THE JUNE MONTHLY BUNDLE HERE
Games:
Retail: $162.92
AND Humble Original Game = Gunmetal Arcadia Zero
thanks Nooblipa
Early unlock game was ❤Mad Max!❤
-thanks mille :) ❤
UPDATE (April 29) - You should have been autocharged one week in advance for this bundle if you are a subscriber.
I was charged $10.80 ($12 x 10% HB Monthly coupon = $10.80)
Proof
Have problems with your payment?
try to ...
Because I get the same questions in my inbox probably 10+ a day ... Q + A ❤
Q: How does this 10% off coupon work? Does it work for 1st time subscribers only? What about current subscribers?
A: To both first time subscribers AND current subscribers: You CAN use the 10% off coupon. They autocharge you $10.80 (if you have the coupon) one week before the bundle goes live, or you can pay early to get the the featured unlock game and still get the bundle for $10.80.
Q: "When is the latest I can unsubscribe (if I am a [re]current subscriber) to avoid being autocharged for the next month's bundle if I subscribe for this one now?"
A: ONE WEEK before the next bundle goes live, you will be autocharged if you are currently subscribed. This means you will be charged APRIL 29 if you want the MAY MONTHLY BUNDLE.
I recommend unsubscribing right away if you know you don't want next month's bundle.
Q: BUT WAIT!! I decided that I want the MAY bundle and it's passed April 29th...! Can I still get it??
A: YES. April 29th is the day they AUTOcharge you if you are a recurrent/current subscriber
HOWEVER, if you want JUST the MAY bundle, subscribe for it NOW, PAY, and IMMEDIATELY UNSUBSCRIBE so that you DO NOT get charged for the JUNE bundle.
Your LAST day to get the MAY bundle is MAY 6th BEFORE 10AM PST
Q: Can i unsubscribe right away if I just want the MAY Bundle?

Q: Will I still get the Early Unlock game(s) if I don't want to pay early for the bundle? Will I be able to get the game if i buy it NOW before the bundle goes live?
A: ANYONE who buys the bundle, whether you pay early, have a current subscription and let HB autocharge you 1 week before the bundle goes live, or don't have a subscription but decide you want to purchase the bundle, AS LONG AS YOU PAY FOR THE BUNDLE ANYIME BEFORE THE BUNDLE GOES LIVE, YOU WILL GET THE EARLY UNLOCK GAME.
