How Promotions Work

February 10, 2010

in Knowledge Base

Virtual Post Mail offers many special promotions throughout the year. This how-to article is dedicated to showing you how our promotions work and what restrictions are placed on them.

Promotion Benefits are Permanent

At Virtual Post Mail, promotions work more like addons. When linked to your account, the promotion enhances your mailbox capabilities and sticks permanently to your mailbox throughout the life of your mailbox. For example, if the promotion offers you 5x free mail, then you will get 5 times the free mail that’s offered to you in your pricing plan forever. Other promotions may give you discounts to your monthly fees or shipping prices.

Promotions are Available to New and Current Users

Our promotions are available to all new AND existing accounts. Some offers are exclusively for current users. Rewarding loyal customers and showering them with special deals and discounts from time to time is what we love to do.

Change Your Promotion Anytime

You can change the promotion linked to your mailbox at any time. So when a newer or better promotion comes out, you can switch to a new promotion that works better for you.

Your selected promotion becomes effective immediately after update. So for example, if your current promotion gives you 10 free scans and you have already used them all up. If you switch to a new promotion that gives you 20 free scans, you immediately have 10 extra scans to use. It’s awesome!

Limited Time Promotions

Some promotions apply to all mailboxes for a limited time, such as unlimited page scanning for a week. These deals normally show up during special days and seasons. They work alongside your current promotion tied to your plan. Essentially, you get 2 promotions applied to your mailbox at one time.

Restrictions

Conditions apply to how promotions are used.

  • A mailbox can only have one promotion linked and active at a time.
  • You can change your promotion only once every billing cycle.
  • When you switch to a new promotion, it overrides what the old promotion gives you.
  • Promotions do not apply retroactively. So if you change to a promotion that gives you more free scan but you have already paid for some scan overages, you will not get those fees back.
  • If your switch to a new promotion and your old promotion is no longer offered, you won’t be able to change back to your old promotion.
  • When you change your pricing plan, you will lose your current promotion tied to your mailbox. After your plan is changed, you can link another promotion to your mailbox.
