Yes there is. I got my code about a month ago.

I don't recall seeing an announcement on it, and there doesn't seem to be anything on the Adobe help pages, but I'd be surprised if they're not doing it again (in some form or another) for 2022... hopefully Matt can clarify.

I have been wondering too if there will be the same contributor bonus program this year 2022?

Hopefully they will... hit 5k DLs earlier this month :)

SS doesn't even come close to AS anymore... both in terms of sales but also the way they treat their contributors!

Hi, just a quick note to let you know that I've seen this thread. I don't have any information or update to provide you with at this time about a possible 2022 bonus program. When I hear something, I will be sure to let you all know.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

Not to harras you or anything Mat (and I'll stop, really). But this is what I mean with corporate speak :) You shush. You don't say that Adobe has not made up it's mind yet if they are not going to do it or if they are. You just leave things lingering but you say it's noted. It is not an answer. It is soothing on behalve of Adobe. And that is corporate speak in my eyes.

Sorry for the confusion, my intent was to let you know that I have seen this thread, but that I don't have an answer to the question to provide. When I do have an answer, I will provide it as I have every year since the bonus program has been in place. I don't want the group to think I'm ignoring this as I know it is important to many.

Harsh. Until a decision is made higher up in the company I don't see how Mat could have done anything more than he has. That is, he'll let us know as soon as he's been told.

What Adobe could do is maybe confirm whether it is going to be an ongoing bonus that will be repeated until told otherwise. Then, if it wasn't possible to continue or, the criteria changes then they can announce that X months before it is about to impact. But then... I guess... there'll be some asking if there will be any changes this year rather than accepting it is going ahead as norm ;D

Just seen a banner on my Adobe page when I log in yippee - there is a link to the redemption code for 2022-3!
Not sure what the criteria were.
Worth checking! :)

The link for your code there has been up since February.


 This thread is about the program for this year to get a code for next year.

Maybe.....I didn't see it but that shows how little interest I have in microstock these days. :(

However, the comments were following OP asking 'Was wondering id Adobe/Mat can confirm if there will be any Adobe CC bonus codes program this year or not?' and other than 'I got mine' nothing further was said.

It sounded like an email message went out or something. On March 31st clearly many people had not 'got' their code and Matt was silent.

Anyway, at least we have it this year. 2023-4 can look after itself at this stage.

Not really, people were asking about whether there will be a bonus program for this year and Mat said he has no info about that. You are confusing the 2021 program with the not confirmed 22 program.
Title: Re: This year CC Bonus codes program?
Post by: PZF on June 17, 2022, 05:41
No, that is not the case. People here were talking this year ie 2022, as was I.   

And THIS YEAR 2022 codes are now available - maybe they have been for a while although they have never been officially notified or confirmed here (even Matt said he did not know re 2022 codes in March 2022 and has said nothing since that I can see).

Anyway, for anybody who didn't get the news/notification or check the site:

2022 codes ARE NOW AVAILABLE and even if you are late, like me, in getting them, you still get the whole 12 months forward. Which is good. :)

He did ask whether there would be an 'Adobe CC bonus codes program' this year, not whether there would be 'Adobe CC bonus codes' this year. While it was slightly ambiguous, I'll give you that, he did clarify slightly further down in the thread... amd I'm pretty sure everyone was already aware of the 2021 program for 2022 codes by the time this thread was created.
Title: Re: This year CC Bonus codes program?
Post by: wds on June 17, 2022, 07:48
Okay, I tried the codes and as suspected In my case, I got a "this code has already been redeemed" message.

So, I guess no bonus free subscription program this year?

No announcement has been made in either direction on this, Sean. I will update MSG as soon as I have information available to share.

Thank you,

Oh please Adobe, lets have a Holiday special :)

Would love to learn to use Adobe after effcts.

Or consider giving us credits for dalle, those costs are adding up really quickly….

I would welcome again the free LR and PS, although their subscription price doesn't break the bank.

The only app I used from the extended app package I have, is the Encoder, since it offers the option to preserve the native 10 bits for clips.
Without it, I would be forced to fall-back on 8 bits codecs, and that may be a loss for certain customers.
Buying all Adobe apps, when only the Encoder is useful to me doesn't make sense.

As one of the lucky ones to receive the whole package benefit, this would be a HUGE help in the current economic situation, please please please Adobe - same again this year??!!

So it's back to Photoshop CS6 for me it seems....! I use Photoshop way too rarely to justify a subscription most stuff I do directly in my favorite image browser (which is not Lightroom btw). I have this old paid Photoshop version and the retouching features are basically still the same, the only thing I need from Photoshop from time to time.

I envy you. I used to have an old paid photoshop version as well and that is basically all I need. I also don't use lightroom.
Unfortunately it started to cause hiccups with my computer and I had to deinstall it. Took me forever to find out that it was the cause of it. Sadly I need photoshop scripts and I haven't found a suitable substitute for it, but as soon as I do, I am also out of the crappy subscription model.

I need PS/LR for daily work and rely heavily on plugins sucha s LRTimelapse so there are no alternatives for me there.

However ive spent the last month learning Resolve Studio as a potential Premiere/AE replacement and it has to be said im starting to much prefer it.  No monthly subscription.

Chances are i'll continue paying for LR/PS but wont pay for any video or other packages and will migrate.
