That is true, but it didn't stop me from buying 6 games!

Thanks Marian. It was still better than full price, I'm glad I waited before I bought them.

I totally agree with Jenny. 50% off should mean half price for Club Members also.

Good - It may make them think again when they hold their next sale. They should be looking after their Club Members who have been loyal to them for years and years.

Hi, Jenny!
This has always been a bone of contention for me, not just for BFG, but for other businesses as well who offer freebies or reduced rates to new customers while their existing loyal customers are not eligible. In BFG's defense, they did have that wonderful Game Club Credit half-price sale in May (which I took full advantage of), so they do reward their members.

I think the part that everyone is missing is the fact the developers who rely on the sales get a percentage of what is paid. There comes a point that the deals hurt the developer. The prices are incredibly reasonable. You can't go to a movie for the cost of the games. Remember when the games cost 19.99 and there wasn't a new one everyday and no one complained? The games were cheaper to produce back then too. I think we are darn lucky. Just my opinion... Ana

And the sale price is still less than the club price of $13.99. Although I was hoping for a buy one get one freee kind of sale. Like I said , I still bought 6! That should help the developers  thracia

Try logging out and getting back in. Sometimes that works. Or try a different browser. Ana

Big Fish is on Pacific Standard Time so you still have 3 hours 45 minutes left to take advantage of the sale. Sometimes a credit card company can be responsible for this message too, so if you are trying to use a credit card you might want to give the credit card company a call. Have you tried using an alternate method of payment? That might work too. Here is some additional advice from a Big Fish moderator in regards to the message you are getting: One of the things you could try before getting in touch with Customer Support is to add the payment method as a new method in your billing and shipping page.
Then choose this same payment method as the default payment and delete the old profile (even though the information is the same).
I usually find this unblocks things.

Hi, Marian!
I just read the thread in the BFG forum and, considering the fact that the comments are mostly negative, I wouldn't be surprised if they are in the process of dreaming up something for members only.
Even though I didn't get 50% off what I would normally pay, I did pick up "Unfinished Tales: Illicit Love CE" for $9.99, so I saved $4.
