Forgive the question if it is rude. But how often does US do their 10% or 15% off sales?

Hi. Generally you can count on the % off sales occurring at least twice a year. However US decides what sales promotion and when they will be occurring, so members can only wait to see what comes up next. In between are the seasonal raffles. Always something to anticipate.  |

A wise choice. %off coupons are the best way to go, but they typically apply to sabers with sound. They get even better when you can pair them with the DoD. And then there's also your reward points. If you wait for the right moment to strike you can make a killing. For instance, I got my Chosen One with sound, no FoC, for only like $250 after shipping. The Force was with me. |

I, personally, wouldn't get a saber without sound. But I am unfamiliar with reward points..I didn't know US has such a thing... |

For every dollar you spend on a saber or parts, you earn a Rewards Point. Shipping does not count. 20 rewards points count as $1. You may use these Rewards points toward a purchase of anything from US. When you use Rewards Points towards a purchase, the"purchase" does not earn you Rewards Points". There is an explanation on US and in the forum. |

Yes, I went and found it. Thanks. That is really cool to find out. Sadly It won't do me much good as I am not a saber "collector" per se.

I've heard most members say they use their points on parts, that way on saber orders they earn max points. Do you have intentions to get any more sabers? You could just save your points until you know that you're not going to buy any more, at least for a while, that way that last purchase doesn't earn points. |

(think of me if this goes live though peeps!!) I don't know about that, but you can set up gift purchases through Emory. That's how Qui-Lar shocked the hell out of me with the Dark Prophecy. So use your reward points to buy something for someone else. |

(think of me if this goes live though peeps!!) I asked Emory this very question yesterday about transferring or gifting reward points to another account user and the answer was a definite no. |

I bought a US back in 2013, but due to life circumstances I had to sell it not too long after I got it. I do still have some points from that purchase though. I intend on getting the Omen with quick disconnect, so I can get other MLS units eventually. Way down the road I plan on getting at least 2 more sabers, but that is going to be at least a year from now. I do want the flamberge, but I want to wait and see if anymore work will be done on it. But knowing this it might influence my plans. Thanks all for pointing me towards that info.
