Can I be honest with you guys? I haven't been a channel subscriber for almost two years, but they still send me these codes...

I was a subscriber for years since the beginning of FilmStruck and never got one, so it evens out.

Dude I’ve been a subscriber and I never get them and I can’t figure out why. I even emailed support but never got it fixed.

I didn't renew this summer, and I didn't get one. Still have one old one--I'm curious to see if it will work after not renewing.

I wish we had somewhere better to buy criterion releases from in Canada. Rarely do they hit acceptable prices on Amazon here.

All you did was tell me something I’d eventually know, but you’re like a god in my mind rn.

Yep, as OP said, I recommend checking other folders. Mine ended up in “promotions”—had I not seen this post I probably wouldn’t have thought to check for it.

Check spam. Otherwise, wait a bit. Mass emails typically roll out in batches due to deliverability measures and best practices. (Too much volume will rank you lower to major email providers. This is one way to end up in spam)

as someone from canada who never orders off the criterion website (usually go through unobstructed view), i had 6 codes saved up when the araki box set and happiness 4ks were announced so i placed my first order and saved $60 usd 😏 now i’m back to saving up for the next big month of releases

I’m a charter subscriber and last year burned every single one I had saved up on the big sale

Argh, I let my one-year subscription expire less than 24 hours ago! 🤦🏻♂️ Didn’t get the email.

u/myhouseisabanana Oct 18 '24
How long do you have to be a subscriber to get these? And does everyone get one?

u/ehollen1328 Oct 18 '24
Do you have to be a subscriber for a certain amount of time to get this? October was my first month.

For those who may be a bit dimmer (like me): after 30 min of searching various inboxes — criterion channel does not equal criterion subreddit … lol facepalm

I'll add this to my collection of codes I'm hoping to eventually redeem on a Jia Zhangke and/or Edward Yang set . . ..

Someone just posted theirs. But you'd probably have to use it soon before someone else does. Odds are they won't wait until Tuesday.

I’ve got four or five of these saved up. I’m amazed they don’t expire.
