Hi,

It was nice Adobe offering a 1 year subscription to its service for people with approved video/photo portfolios (I forgot what the # was, but I think it was 250+ videos or something like that).

Is Adobe doing that again this year? I didn't hear anything from them, but am an active contributor and would be interested in getting an extension on my subscription. Thanks!

Yes, they do have a new program, for 2020 it's based on number of downloads (not uploads).

Details see here: https://www.microstockgroup.com/fotolia-com/2020-adobe-stock-artist-bonus-program/

thanks, good to know. Since I did meet that threshold - do you know when he'll be sending out the licenses?

Thanks!

It's a nice perk. That and the webinars, Discord channel camaraderie and challenges were especially appreciated during the past bleak year. Thanks.

Any idea what we'll need to do in 2021 Mat?

I think my free sub expires this month so good to know we'll be getting the new links soon.

A redemption link will be found at the top of the contributor portal in a blue banner sometime in February so watch for that. I'll post something in MSG when they go live as a heads up.

Okay, thanks, appreciate that.

BTW - any chance we could get the "whole" suite if we had less than 5,000 "downloads"?
I didn't realize there were two separate thresholds (one being for a 'single' application license, and one for the entire suite).

While I didn't actually use the 'entire' suite - I would use AE & PR. "Thought" about using the other apps (last year was the first year I got this) - and then all this silly nonsense with a magical virus that can count the number of people in a group, knows if someone is sitting or standing in a restaurant (sitting = safe, standing/walking = uh oh), knows if it at a protest or party (and avoids the former), etc, etc, started... and became quite the distraction. I literally think I only used the suite for 1-2 months back last January 2020, and only because of my reminder e-mail remembered - oh yeah - I had all these cool things I wanted to do with AE/PR, and just hadn't yet...

Thanks!

Do you mean can you get a code for the All Apps Creative Cloud plan for free without meeting the qualification criteria of the 2020 bonus plan? If that is what you mean, then no, that is not an option. You can purchase the plan via adobe.com however.

Thanks,

My cloud subscription expires soon on Feb and we are supposed to get bonus codes too on Feb...
So, if I renew my plan and the codes arrives later then will those code be added to the renewed plan?

If you have the exact same plan as the one you received as a bonus and redeem the code using the same Adobe ID, billing is suspended for 12 months if you are billed monthly. If you paid for the full year in advance, the year of your CC bonus plan will start once your prepaid year is over. 

-Mat

Thanks Mat.
Is there any specific date when the code will be sent in this month?

Yes, I did mean that. (Unfortunately due to what happened the last year, I didn't get to produce/promote/etc as much content as I was expecting, in fact, very little.)

Only getting some time now. I think a lot of other people would be in the same boat, so it would be nice if the bonus criteria could be reconsidered. At the very least, perhaps for the next upcoming year. Please let me know,

Thanks!
