I have a few different email accounts, and on Sept 29, 8:00pm precisely - I received an email from the mint on an account not associated with my M/C status, however I had bought some coins - a few years back - the first 20/4/20's when they restricted numbers of sales per account.

Anyway..the email I received told me that "for 3 hours, sometime in the next 24 hours, you will be given full access to the newest coins pre-release.... before even the m/c status people.

Just wondering if anybody else got that, and what do you think of that sales tactic?

here is an excerpt:
Welcome to the front of the line!
Can you purchase your favourite new coins from the Royal Canadian Mint within three hours?
We think you can. To show our appreciation as one of our BEST ONLINE CUSTOMERS, you have been given the opportunity to preview and purchase our new releases BEFORE EVERYONE ELSEâ€"but only for a 3-hour window!
Check your email frequently for the next 24 hours â€" you don't want to miss this opportunity for some the best coins of the year, including our next Murano glass.

Weird. Reps are already taking orders and the October release was online for a few hours and then taken down already....

Low MC interest caused marketing heads to think better and work harder.
Only this can explain special preview.

But it good for collectors with no MC status.

I agree with it being good for non m/c status collectors, but with the free shipping offered on some coins, and now 'front of the line' access to others... it kind of defeats any m/c status - at least the two most desirable benefits.
