PSA - Thomann Vouchers

HippoPete

Vaguely related to the winning things thread but if you go back through your Thomann orders and do the "rate this item" thing, you can collect up to 10€ a pop up to a maximum of €50.

It's never going to set the world on fire but potentially you could blag yourself a Joyo pedal or a few spare cables.

It doesn't seem to be time limited as I've been back over my orders for two years so far.

All the best,

Pete

How do you collect vouchers? I didn't seem to get any options when I did the reviews.

Hi Guys,

If you login to your account on Thomann and check your previous orders and click on the "Details" plus sign. The list of your order contents ought to have a "Rate Product" button. When you do this you can rate the product with stars and write a review.

I do note however, that the Rate Product button has disappeared for anything I've already done and is not present for anything not currently stocked. 

You don't get any immediate confirmation of a voucher but with any luck an email will turn up one to two days later.

I have seen scuttlebutt around that this is aimed up pushing up the number of English language reviews so isn't seen by my continental friends unless they change their language or country option to UK on Thomann's site.

Hope this helps and apologies if I've got anyone's hopes up. I only found out when I received a prompt to review a purchase just before Christmas and it took me three weeks to get around to it.

Cheers,

P

You have to rate and write a review for vouchers. A short review gets you 5E, and a field report gets you 10E. I've just written a load and they have to go through moderation before they're posted (so you don't just write "Shit" 100 times), so presumably once that's done you'll get your vouchers.

Is  there a limit on the number of vouchers you can use per transaction?

HippoPete

Here is an extract from my voucher email. I've included the top bit as it looks like they might pull the plug when they've got enough material.

"Remember: at the moment, you get gift vouchers for every short review you submit.

Further information about your voucher:
=========================================

- You can redeem your voucher online. To do so, just click
 on the button "I would like to redeem a Thomann voucher" in
 the final window of your shopping basket (payment). A
 box will appear; please copy your voucher number into the box.

- If you would like to redeem SEVERAL vouchers in one visit,
 please simply copy all the voucher numbers into the comment field
 of your shopping basket and request that they be redeemed.

- We believe that it is in our customers' interest that we do not
 send out individual vouchers for every piece of 
 feedback but combine several pieces of feedback we receive in a
 short time span into one voucher of a greater value. But as we
 do our best to send the vouchers promptly, you may still receive
 several.

- Even if you have already received a voucher, you can still leave
 feedback on other products, and you will receive further vouchers.
 Just go to your feedback page at
 http://www.thomann.de/gb/mythomann_prodrate.html
 The total value of vouchers is limited to 50 EUR per customer,
 but for customers willing to go beyond what is necessary to earn
 those 50 EUR, we will think of something special."

Yep, just got my 50EUR voucher emailed to me!

redrighthand

Wow me too!

Goddammit, I didn't realise it was long reviews that got you the EUR10 vouchers. Got EUR25 in my inbox this morning...

Just did reviews for the Shure SM7b, Lehle Little Dual, T Bone RM700, three different kinds of mic stand and a bass drum head.

Funny thing is, I always really enjoy writing reviews and tend to write too much. Nice that someone might actually pay me something to do that haha!

HippoPete

Good news chaps. I'm up to 40 Euros and just popped a long one in (ooh err) to max out hopefully.

redrighthand

The OP needs some serious wisdoms people! A top PSA.

Cheers, I have just bashed out 5 long reviews so fingers crossed I get my voucher tomorrow. Im feeling the ened for a new electric drum kit so 50 eur would come in pretty ahndy

John_P

Fantastic - thanks for the heads up!

I've just added a ton of reviews

They only let you rate products they still sell so quite a few things wouldn't appear on my lists but I think I've racked up the necessary amount.  Looking forward to the emails confirming them now

GIJoe

Awesome!  Just added a pile
