I still don't know the system. I don't know if the link takes me to the 12-month counter, or simply gives you a code. I don't know if the period starts since the code is granted or since the cloud registration is done or since the link is clicked. I don't know if in February 2020 the link doesn't work anymore. I don't know if the link gives you the code and can be saved until February 2020.

I'm afraid I have two options, give the link now and find out or activate the link in February and find out what's going on.

? Which link are you talking about?
You should receive your CODE (not link) via mail.
Then use it when you want (in one year) via adobe account. That's all.

Also read the Faq, there are all details

@Tenebroso You should have twelve months to click on that link and start your free subscription. At least if you already have a (paid) subscription and are logged in you don't see a code which you could enter somewhere later. It was more like okay, code redeemed, next payment due in a year. Don't remember what it was like last year, but this time at least for me it was like that.

Sorry my message wasn't clear. I think you should do as I did and contact Adobe - they were quick to respond, helpful and gave the information I wanted.

Got mine today! Ha ha! Just kidding! I'm a worthless illustrator!

What about animating your illustrations and uploading it as video? If your subject matter is suitable, you could try that.

Are photographers required to animate their photos to get Photoshop?

Please explain why only one group of contributors—a very successful group that consistently brings in a lot of sales for stock sites—are left out of this.

Please write via the contact us link found at the bottom of the Adobe Stock Contributor portal and we'll do our best to assist as quickly as possible.

As a reminder to all, I am not able to provide specific requests for support via private message here in MSG. Please use that contact link in the contributor portal instead.

Thanks,

Mat

I reached 300 videos for 2019 in August, But haven't received the all apps bonus yet. It's been almost 8 weeks. Are the bonuses sent out individually based on when you reached the threshold or are they sent out in batches so some might get them in less time than the 6-8 week time frame and others longer than the 6-8 week time frame?

This is the answer I got after contacting support (as advised by Mat):

Not all contributors who qualify have received bonus codes yet.

It is possible that you may be included in the next wave of emails with bonus codes that are to be sent out, however, we do not have a timeline for when that will be.

If you do not receive an email with a bonus code then it is most likely because the promotions department did not feel as though your account met the requirements.

Ultimately, it is up to the promotions department to determine which accounts will receive bonus codes. We have no influence over their determinations nor can we generate bonus codes.

Last year I got my bonus in September.  This year it showed up on October 22nd.  So there's still hope even if you haven't received it yet.

I didn't think the offer was conditional.  I thought meeting the requirements of image and % was enough.  Matt why the change?

Thanks for sharing this @ouatedeP. I will follow up with you offline to get some more information about who you were communicating with to make sure the language in our email responses is updated. I'm sorry about the confusion.

This isn't a subjective or conditional offer. If you qualify for the bonus code by having 300 files approved in 2019 with a 50% or higher approval ratio you WILL be getting a code. Regarding the timing for when you will get the bonus...The codes are sent out in batches at a predetermined time that isn't necessarily in tandem with the exact time you qualify. There is generally a gap between when you qualify and when your bonus code is emailed. In some cases, artists that have qualified and were sent the bonus code found them in their spam folder so if you feel you should have already received yours, be sure to check there first.

I hope this clears it up for you. Thanks again!

I emailed and got a reply about 2 hours later with the code.
No idea where i didnt get the automated codes when sent but in fairness to support, it was a quick response.

Hi Mat I received a quote last year December I've not used it yet and tried this morning but it told me it's expired. I've never used the code before.

Maybe I'm being too impatient but I wanted to ask. I had my last batch of images accepted over a week ago and now have over the 300 required images accepted for 2019. I haven't heard anything from Adobe yet so I was wondering if I need to just be patient and wait longer or if there's anything additional that I need to do.

Thanks!

Bonus codes are sent out in waves and are not issued immediately when you reach the threshold. If you met the requirement, we'll send you a code shortly.

Kind regards,

Mat Hayward

In a naive example, when buying milk we don't credit the cow, but everyone knows the selling company for the quality milk that delivers to us and enjoy using! Further, nobody cares that eventually the cow and it's babies will be slaughtered for meet.

:P

Kind more seriously? Ask once. If refused ask elsewhere.

I produce not many animations, but of high quality (and 100% approval rate). So I can't reach the 300 uploads. Last year I did get the code because I sold enough stock. I guess Adobe really went for quantity this year...  :-\

Just received my contributor bonus from Adobe with over 500 accepted assets 90% video - 10% photo , they send me a Photography plan :)) nice ...

Sean Locke Photography

I received this in a .mogrts contributor email today:
" If you have at least 10 new MoGRTS accepted within 2019, we will notify you and send a redemption code for a 1-year subscription to a CC All Apps plan via email."

tomn

I also received my code today and I'm very pleased!
Thank you Adobe.

Last year's code is valid till 2021. What did support say when you contacted them?
