I am entitled to a $5 discount as a repeat customer. I tried putting in the information provided by dauntless for the discount, but it appears that the credit was not given. The email I recieved is printed below. Please provide the appropriate credit.

Issue Resolved / Closed? Your issue may presently be marked as "resolved" or "closed" in our system even though it may not yet be fully resolved to your satisfaction. Please don't panic if you see this. "Resolved" and/or "closed" simply mean we at the Dauntless helpdesk have taken your issue as far as we can at this time given the information available to us. However, if necessary, we will certainly be happy to continue the conversation with you as necessary. You are by all means welcome to communicate further even on 'resolved' issues through the helpdesk system, including by providing additional information.

A helpdesk issue that you submitted has been responded to as follows:

Danny,

Thanks - I do appreciae it. however, we use a third party company (swreg) to handle the purchases. This is why we go to so many extremes to make sure that you contact us before you have problems and make it very clear that we are unable to ajudicate afterwards - we have no way of making ''adjustments'' or even knowing exactly what you were billed - we do not see your cc number or contact your billing info in any way, essentially.

as i said, i tried your info and it worked on the first try. what I can do is make you offers on future purchase, which is within my rights here at the helpdesk, and so this is what I can tempt you with (even though, from my standpoint, our systems have been working perfectly):

1. buy a copy of our Safelog pilot logbook software for PC (FAA version, I assume) and I can give you a free code for RideReady - IFR Airplane which will help you prepare for your IFR checkride (a $30 value)

or

2. Buy a copy of our RideReady - IFR airplane software and I can give you a free copy of FastFAR, our FAR/AIM software (a $20 value).

To receive such a freebie, please make the purcase of the requisite item, write us another message here quoting your order number, and then I or a team-member here will write back with your code for the new item.

I hope you can find this to be fair.

Kind Regards,

James

Hi Danny,

Sorry to hera you''re having problems. Just to be clear, the $5 discount only applies if you want to purchase a SINGLE TEST BANK of the groundschool faa written test prep software - ie, groundschool IFR if you''re working on your instrument now having completed your private.

to get this discount:
1. visit www.dauntless-soft.com/produts/groundschool/order.asp

2. select the top buy now button for a single test bank.

3. select ifr or whaver you want

4. go through the order process until it asks you for the discount info

5. enter your unlock code

I-S1W-6E6E-ZT2-ACACD

and your email address

[protected]@dakemllc.com

then, it will recognize you and apply the discount, which should be evident from that point.

I tried this with your info, and it worked fine, so I don''t know what the issue is that you are having. please try it again and it should work.

thanks agian,

James

Hi Danny - your unlock code(s) are below. BTW King DVDs are a complete ripoff. But, anyway, there you go - good luck in your training! You had previously used your gmail address.

The unlock process requires you go to through a step where your unlock codes are verified via our unlock server.

Your Original Question / Comment was:

First off, you''ve been very prompt and very helpful, thanks for that. I just purchased the IFR Test Prep software despite the fact that the program does not appear to have recognized my $5 discount. I promise you I did everything just like your email said, but no discount appeared. Please make sure that when the charge hits my account, the proper amount (including the discount) appears. Thanks again for your help.

Thank you very much for your rpomot reply to my question last night. I tried putting in the unlock key and ordering the software, but the price does not reflect the discount. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I used your dauntless software to pred for my FAA private pilot exam, which I passed in late 2008(?). I''m now working on my IFR rating and would like to use your software again. My laptop hard drive was replaced about 3 weeks ago so I have no access to any of the info from my previous purchase (I kicked the laptop in frustration trying to get the King DVD''s to run... guess I showed that hard drive, HUH?). I probably signed up under the email:[protected]@dakemllc.com. I would like to take advantage of the repeat purchaser discount. Can you please verify my prior purchase? Thanks
