Turning Red Pop! 7" Plush -- 600 Pts

NEW/RELISTED DMI REWARDS -- Feb 7, 2024

Turning Red Pop! 7-Inch Plush - HOT REWARD 600 -- didn't catch the exact starting number but I'm guess only 500. Never seen such a small number to start. I gues they decided to make it a HOT REWARD for a small discount rather than a SALE item which has been their past pattern. Again I can't ever remember a previous regular price item becoming a Hot Reward later

Disney and Pixar's Soul Notebook & Stationery Set 850
Disney and Pixar's Soul Ball Cap 800 -- relisted item for 2021

 

[Jake Lipson]

Mei's right eye being in a wink state seems weird to me. I also don't know about having a stuffed animal representing a teenage girl. So I'll probably pass on this week. The Soul hat is kind of tempting, but I really don't have much use for it as I already have other Disney hats that I don't really use much.

[Jake Lipson]

Code ROBAIRE is worth 5 Disney points. Valid through 2/11 at 11:59 P.M. PT.

Also, if anyone else is going to see Turning Red this weekend, remember tickets are valid for points.

DMI POINTS for 8 Pts

CODE: YEAROFTHEDRAGON

 

[Scott Merryfield]

DMI POINTS:

CODE: YEAROFTHEDRAGON 8

Getting invalid code. Tried different combinations of spaces and no spaces.

 

[Jake Lipson]

Getting invalid code.

That's weird. It worked for me exactly as David typed it.

Thanks, David!

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

You didn't include the 8, right?

Apparently, it's 8 points for the code: YEAROFTHEDRAGON

And yes, it's the year of the Dragon! Happy Lunar New Year!

FWIW, I'm guessing it's worth an unusual 8 points because 8 is some kinda good luck number for Chinese -- not sure about other East Asian cultures that also celebrate Lunar New Year and (old) traditionally used lunar calendar though...

That fixed it for me. I was always putting in the 8.

Actually, that lucky number thing might be mostly (at least originally) a southern Chinese thing... or maybe even mainly Cantonese probably due mostly to how it sorta rhymes w/ the character for (growing) wealth. That seems to be pretty typical w/ such, including how they don't like the number 4 because it sounds so much like "death" (in both Cantonese and Mandarin and probably also various other dialects... and maybe even some of the other East Asian languages). For instance, that's supposedly why Canon even skipped the model number G4 for their then popular flagship digicam series back during the mid-2000's and went straight from G3 to G5.

Yeah, I was including the 8. Brain fart on my part.

NEW HOT REWARD PREVIEW - Feb 14, 2024 starting Noon ET

MYSTERY Blu-Ray -- 400 pts

Honestly another item available since Day 1 of new DMI for a small discount. With the crackdown on repeat BD DMI points even that doesn't help.

 

[Jake Lipson]

I've never understood the appeal of mystery discs as rewards. If they give you something you already own, then you're stuck with it and out of luck. People who are registered with the Disney points program probably have a lot of Disney discs, so the likelihood of you getting something new doesn't seem high. I'd rather know what I'm getting with my points.

 

[BobO'Link]

Mystery discs have always felt to me to be a way to dump titles that haven't sold well.

IIRC I did take advantage of a DVD Mystery disc once (and think it was when they were changing the program so I was wanting to spend down to as close to zero as possible just in case and nothing else was as cheap). It was nothing I'd have purchased. At least I got most (all?) of the points back redeeming the title when the program was re-instated so it wasn't a total loss... but I got lucky.
