Digit Patron Helpdesk: Everything you wanted...

D

Ok, there are some of us out there who have very little clue on what to do if they get stuck with a problem wrt their Digit Patron Accounts (those of you who have no idea of what this 'Digit Patron thing' is all about, check out the bottom of the last page of Digit and get tuned in!)

To know about the Digit Patron Program, from everything to anything, from forgotten passwords to username changes to redemption issues or then to whatever else bothers your sense of calmness in life, there is hope!

First control the urge to fire off emails to n number of people all over the place because that only adds to the delay for you to get a response and secondly, do the following:

Just log on to www.thinkdigit.com/digitpatron, click on the "Help" tab and send us a mail detailing your problem and leave the rest to us. We'd love to hear from you and help you of course.

This should be made an announcement or sticky and posted in Digit Discussion Section also and

the name Digit Patron should be visible in the subject.

U

I have already written to digit patron, regarding mail-d (user name)
change and i got reply that its not possible!! and i will have loose all points from that a/c

But you are telling there is still hope :!:

Should i write about this again or there is no change regarding that answer :?:

Also, as i had given my company mail-id, when i leave this company
the mail-id becomes useless. So i get to loose patron points. So i think its not even worth entering anymore. If i loose mail-id i loose everything.
This is so stupid!
Or is it possible to have the same mail-id as log in but
you can write to me at different mail address ??

Just one question to Digit Patrol Helpdesk.

Why are subscribers not getting automatic credit for patron? I feel that is something so obvious. Secondly, that will also stop one menace. There are a few newsstand owners who subscribe and then sell the copies in open market. No one bothers to read the words "subscriber copy, not for sale". If such copies do not have patron codes, no one will buy them!!

Any answers?

i redeemed the sept version of digit. how can i enter the code printed in that mag? is it possible??
expecting a +ve answer

D

Well, for one, the Digit Patron Program is not specifically designed for subscribers. It is a program for all readers of Digit and that includes all our readers who buy their mags from the newsstand. It is a Program which is designed to reward the loyalists, the true Patrons of Digit, irrespective of whether they are subscribers or non-subscribers, both these groups of readers are treated at par.

Secondly, we would like to keep the criterion for membership to the Digit Patron Program completely voluntary.What this basically means is that we would want those readers (subscribers) who are truly interested in this Program to enrol themselves as Patrons rather than thrusting this onto every subscriber.

So, I hope you are now able to get a better understanding as to why the points procedure is a non-'automatic' system.

Hi Vysakh and all the other forum members reading this!

Here's a simple little request guys...

Instead of posting your personal specific queries on the forum here, please e-MAIL your specific queries to the Digit Patron Help Desk. That is the whole reason for the existence of the Help Desk, please don't take that away.

Anyway to answer Vysakh's query, very simply.
No.
September is long gone and so are the codes for that month. Till the midnight of 31st Dec 2004, one can only enter codes for Dec, from the Dec issues only.

this is not a personal question

is it possible to enter more than 1 code a month?

D

Yup, absolutely. All that you need to bear in mind is one Digit Patron account, one code. Which means you could have any number of accounts as you please as long as you have unique codes for each account. That's it. You cannot use one code for all the accounts. That would just be tooooo simple, won't it?

U

So what should i do now ?

U

why have n't you mentioned about how many points i have secured automatically after logging in ???

There is no provision to view currently how much points available to be redeemed !!!

It is very nice if you could make a thread for "Patron" instead of individual mail. So that everyone can see similar problems and avoid repeating mails and also if someone makes a good suggestion, may be people might approve and make similar request which you could incorporate.

And hope it is not to hide the problems by being viewed openly by all!!!

Digit Patron Helpdesk said:
those readers (subscribers) who are truly interested in this Program to enrol themselves as Patrons rather than thrusting this onto every subscriber

It is not superimposing anything on anyone. If they don't want it, they will not redeem the points or not register at all!! But I wonder who wouldn't subscribe for something in which they are likely to get a few free things. This is India.

No one will miss anything that would increase the value for money.

Automatic credit will save subscribers from the trouble of two things:
1. Going to the site and entering it
2. Credit miss in case they forget it. You can see the number of people asking for getting hold of missed credit.

Afterall, subscribers are the people who are not only loyal, but are also committed to the loyalty by paying in advance. Right?

Digit Patron Helpdesk said:

Absolutely. Treat all at par as regards credit of 20 points per issue and also about items of redemption of points. Keep all of these same. But if subcribers can give their subscription numbers while registering for patron, I still feel they should get automatic credit. Of course, it will be some task for Digit Team to link and consolidate both the databases. But it would then by very convenient.

ultima said:

There sure is a way. Just look around the page after you log in and enter points. Its a little small font, but it is surely there.

D

hi ultima,
please refresh my memory, what link from which thread are you referring to ?

He is referring to the link you posted above in your first reply .. The link is dead cauz it have an "," in the URL tag ...
Digit Patron Link is the working link ..

And btw ..

Instead of posting your personal specific queries on the forum here, please e-MAIL your specific queries to the Digit Patron Help Desk. That is the whole reason for the existence of the Help Desk, please don't take that away

I beg to differ here .. This is the essence of having a forum .. so that if many people can get the reply at once if they are having the same problem ..

And you can choose "Notify me when a reply is posted" option in the thread if you want to keep track of this thread ...

count my vote also.

Digit u got this idea of patron from our feedback only. I started a topic " loyalty bonus for subscribers". we gave u such a great idea free of cost u cant make this system automatic. i know that its not a difficult job but u are just shrugging it off covering it up in the name of equality. plz do think about this we give u advance payments ensure ur sales so that u can experiment with "the new looks" without much risk. give us some credit.

Lets wait for the reply from Digit Patron Helpdesk to my points and to the rest of us as well. No point in repeating our demand if its not heard. Right?

Patron Helpdesk, where are you? We all are waiting for your response!!

U

" IT WASn ME" was correct.
I clicked the link directly, then figured out that comma is the reason for the error message.

And again i agree with him on having complaints in this forum itself.

And also to have automatic points update for subscribers

E

when the winners for 2 LG PC, 2 Cell phones, Cordless mouse etc. will be announced?????

I didn't find anything about that in Digitpatron page.....

digit patron careless

i had redeemed for a my 80+10 points for digit vintage and 101 tools for designers cd at digit patron on october 3 but i still haven't received anything. can anyone help.

i redeemed for a gift on november 17th and some days later i got an email saying that my gift has been approved. got the gift very next day

D

Just a small question...do we have to redeem all our points at once? Or can we redeem as many as we want, whenever we want?

my neighbour an old man also purchases digit but never enters his code so can I enter my code as well as his in my account.?

Code:

YES! That is valid!!

R

I think Digit Patron should add more items/mags in the redemption gifts list. I also suggest they start giving free subscriptions of Digit itself through the patron programme. for eg. they can give a 3mth sub for 250-300pts as it suits them. I think that would be better and specially for those who dont like anything else to be redeemed.

:lol:

Well.. You can enter the code only ONCE in your account .. You could enter the other code in another account of yours .. But I dont think its ethical ...

Well.. You can enter the code only ONCE in your account .. You could enter the other code in another account of yours .. But I dont think its ethical ...

From where does ethics come here? If you have access to 2 copies, you should be allowed to enter the code twice. Simple.

What if I actually buy 2 copies per month? I may be having a lots of staff in my office for whom I buy 2 copies a month. Can I not enter the codes for both the copies? I am extra loyal to Digit that I buy 2 copies!!

I feel that keeping a restriction on only one code a month is not right

Hmm.. Do you really think people are that loyal ..? And will it be called loyality ..??

Anyways ... The point of discussion was that the guy wanted to enter a code that he hasnt bought himself .. That isnt ethical .. Is it ..?

When will the winners of December Digit Patron Code Enterers announced? May be in next month's Digit I guess. No information abt that from you Digit guys.

Also, why most of the redeeming options include your old issues or of Computers Art Special. Now can you tell me if this is to reward loyal Digit readers why the hell you put your own old issues there? This is the most ridiculous thing I must say. Put something more meaningful there so that one can really be benefited and rewarded to be a loyal & true Digit Patron. Though as you people are reclusive now and only comes here to post a new entry or to make an already existing entry sticky. No replies are given to people. What say Raabo huh?

it_waaznt_me said:

I just gave you an example where actually 2 or more copies could be bought!! So duscussion here is about the system of allowing only one code per month. That is not what it should be. If you give rewards for loyalty, give extra rewards for extra loyalty!!

it_waaznt_me said:
Anyways ... The point of discussion was that the guy wanted to enter a code that he hasnt bought himself .. That isnt ethical .. Is it ..?

I agree on the actual scenario of entering code of a copy you haven't bought yourself. It surely is unethical and I wouldn't do it (because it is unethical and because I don't care

). But then lots of things in life are unethical anyway. Isn't it?

It is nice to Seeee... Our beloved Digit introducing lot many schemes to make everybody the proud owners of some or few electronic/Computer gadget owners. But it should choose the right Supplier. Long back it choosed to offer DVD-RW. I too send the money (one among the greedy reader) to catch the offer. But till today, nearly 4 months passed. No sign of DVD-RW. Even I have send more than Half a dozen emails, to both Digit gurus and Tech pacific to no avail. Not even any reply from Tech Pacific. Now God only knows, When it will be delivered. Any body got any clue?....

well, it is a long time since the patron programme has started but the
gifts n prizes haven't changed yet.How abt including some hardware,
accessories etc?? When u ppl can give away Thumb Drives for
Pic/Quote/caption of the week then whatz the matter in giving them for
loyal Digit readers??? Other than those, other small accessories like
Mice Pads with "Digit Patron" emblazoned on them, T-Shirts,Caps (Like
agent 001's) Keypad Covers,Monitor covers, CD cases, Towers etc would
be alternatives worth considering....

Another quite pertinent point is that you have among the gifts, old issues
of Digit and some Specials & Skoar as well. But Don't u think that ppl
who are Loyal to digit and enrol in the patron programme will already
be in possession of those issues??? This is akin to rewarding Bhakts
with some more Bhakti instead of Prashad :twisted:

BTW whatz the point in keeping Brittanica as the Top Prize when you've
given one free. (Altough it is a scaled-down version).Hope you'll consider
these suggestions.

WOW!! Lovely suggestions. I second them.

Lets see some better rewards in Patron. Let there be some more motivation to enter it month after month

True the rewards need to get better as suggested in the above posts........this will inspire us more to feed in the code monthly.........

..............Also by the way what exactly is all this feeding in going to achive .............

I also think that the gifts be bit innovative! :lol:

Hardware is always good option 8)

Even you can give very low-priced or very good discount for products

No code for me this month

This month I bought my copy of the Digit late. But to my surprise, min my copy, the Digit Patron code sticker is not placed. The copy was sealed in the poly cover all right, and it so appears that the sticker was never affixed as there are no traces of the possibility of its having been removed!! So what now?

D

Just a q, will it be possible to change my patron id? The mail id I use to login is my Fastmail account's, and I want to shift all my mailing ops to GMail. So,can the patron id be changed?

Check out some earlier replies. It is not possible to change your id. Of course you may start from scratch at a new id. No one stops you from doing that.

D

Gaah! But I'll lose all the points I've earned till now!

Why don't we have a unified ID for every damn thing connected to Digit? i.e; the contests, patron, the forum and Skoar.

I too agree with the abovementioned ideas.....
There's a mag "Living Digital" which provides free acessories and goodies
free with their issues which can be used to spruce up the workspace
or are useful in one way or the other.

In DigPat Prog the oly useful thing is the Brittanica Encyclopaedia
and that too is available for 280 points....And I don't think anyone has
taken it till now.Unistal AV is of no use i guess......Regarding Skoar n
the Spl. issues of Digit, there may be very few takers......

So we hafta wait n see whether Byte Bhai Sees this thread and does the
necessary modifications.....

Software Genuine or Not???

Hi, I like ur mag very much. ever since i purchased my first copy of digit in March 2004, i've discovered so many facts abt PC world. the one thing that is bothering me is about the genuinty of softwares distributed in CD & DVD. In ur latest issue there r 3 big games... not even a single is running in my pc after i installed them. flat out demo shows msg box " required dll file not found, reinstall" & even after reinstalling 2 times the same msg appears. i've installed in Win ME & Win XP but to no avail.
I've installed games like road rash, midtown madness, age of empires which r running perfectly, but why r these games not running :?:

m8 chck the SUBJECT this is DIGIT PATRON HELP DESK.. not jus help desk! :shock:

Rite...but if he's a close-enuff Friend,he Might have given a hint that

"Hey Yaar! Do not Buy [The Gift that he's gonna give] U don't need that Now,
Do u???"

And since Digit is sucah a User-Friendly mag, I don't think a hint or two will be
harmful for us :wink:

H

i do agree for the automated patron

1 question is how long will it going to continu... as i have 120 point... should i go for a gift or wait for more point.... & guyes what gift should i take.....

K

man i recd my cd of java unplugged in 2weeks from requesting for redeemtion.
for me DIGIT PATRON is working fine,
till now i have redeemed 5 gifts form it, of which none was delayed

My redemption also reached me well before time. One thing that bothers me is the lowest redemption is at 80 points viz ; previous issues of Digit. (No doubt, I redeemed a prev issue as i missed the August issue). So according to the name as many suggests, previous issues are not worth the name Digit Patron.
Its like you read the mag, ok redeem and read again.
So, coming to the point, a patron will require 4 months to redeem a gift.
4 months of patronship should be rewarded well man.
So, the idea of giving stuffs were cool. Thumbs up dude.
As then subscribers think they are the most loyal, it is unfair.
I think I am the first patron to buy Digit every month (no postal delays).
So, subscriptions dont make you loyal.
Its the loyalty you keep that makes you loyal.
So again enetring the code every month makes you loyal as you atleast show up ur loyalty once again by coming upto the loyalty showing ground viz; the digit patron program.
So, manual redemption is good and my current vote goes for manual redemption

T

hi people
ive got 140 pts in the bag
any suggestions which gift would be best to redeem based on your previous experience!

P

I like your digit patron progam but i would like to request you one thing... Is it possible for you to update your product list, i mean the things are "giving away" for points... I see that the products are pretty much outdated especially the SKOAR magazine issues..

R

Yes me too. I think Patron needs more gifts in its catalogue.

N

There should be an option where we should be allowed to post digit patron code for previous months also. Consider it seriously.

hi everyone,
well.... i redeemed my patron gift for first time,i asked for understanding databases fastforward... but unfortunately it turned out to be totally different thing than i expected it to be & hence useless to me

.(regarding the contents).
Can you please provide a little more description of the contents of the cds or even the magazines. than merely a picture & a title

that is currently provided, where it is very difficult to guess what actually is in the cds or the magazines contents.
Even if you guys say it is not possible to update the website we can atleast hav a thread here in the forum with a little more detailed descriptions :?:

Gift : Fast Forward - Understanding Databases

I sent an email to digitpatron@jasubhai.com about my gift but got no reply so posting it here:

To: The Digit Patron Team

Thank you for sending the Gift : Fast Forward - Understanding Databases

However, I was totally disappointed after running the CD ...

The CD is an old one - Is Digit trying to dispose off old stock through Digit Patron? - it still mentions the old chip-india website.

It covers only MS Access and that too Access 2000 which is pretty old considering that it's been 5 years and there are 2 newer versions - XP & 2003 - available.

The level of info is at the newbie level at the start which is ok but it remains right there even at the end which is definitely not ok. There's not much that's not available in any standard Access book / tutorial for beginners.

There is no description of the gift available on the website to indicate that it covers only Access making one believe that it is about all the major database packages which is what made me request this title as I am keen on learning all about databases. There's so much more content you could've included esp. from the net.

I would prefer you take back this gift and give me something else.

Thanks,

Vivek

I too vote for automated points for Subscribers.

Hi Team Digit!
U said that da patron program is for ppl who really want 2 enrol themselves in it. so haven't u thought abt ppl who read digit n want 2 b enroled in it but don't hav a net connection at home or students who r in boarding schools, getting da mag, want 2 be enroled, but they don't hav any net connection on their comps n also not allowed 2 step outside of da school except during vacations or when their guardians want 2 b dun so. How can they get da prize for being a loyal reader?

S

DIGIT is like MARUTI in Customer Services. Simply The Best

:wink:

Its wonderful that DIGIT accepted its default in April issue's DVDs. Its hard toaccept things that u have screwed up. But DIGIT guys have done it n they really deserve an appreciation for that.I have applied for the new DVD.Hope i get it but even if i dont, I will always be a loyal reader of DIGIT coz itz simply great.No dout about it. No second thoughts.

digit patron code doesnt work

the code on june's digit patron doesnt work , and seems to be fake , so please do the neeedful, im an subscriber, sp please help me thru this and mail me to arshadcoolguy4u@gmail.com
thanking you

even my june 2005 code is not working .. looks like u guyz have screwed up again. i have already emailed from the digit patron website for help but no reply till now :evil:

... plz help , my sub code is M002533 and email is singhaniamohit@gmail.com and guyz i think u better stop printing the damn magazine with goof ups every month. thanx.

A

I forgot to enter my June code this monyh. I thought that I did and sent the magazine to US with my wife who went there and will deliver it to my son when she meets him in July, as presently she is with her sister and then my daughter. And she is not computer/net savvy.

well , yes

i agree with many people above

patron system should should be automatic for subscribers

Y

eh? Automatic in the sense? Every Subscriber's Patron A/c Automatically Increments with 20 Points on the 1st of Every Month? In that Case They need to keep tabs on whose Subscription Expires When.
When They Don't Bother to Read this Thread,I Doubt they'll be Implementing That.

Problem!

Hello Digit,

My yearly subscription for Digit started last month.

When I went to 'Digit Patron's' site to enter my code it gave me error that the code is incorrect, despite serveral attempts with different combinations (I tried replacing '0' with 'O' and vice versa)

I wrote to you guys from there itself. It has been more than 20 days, the month is over, my code is invalid, and I have yet to receive a response from you guys. And this is just my first month!

Can anyone please check this?

Thanks!

V

?

Hello,

It has been one whole day, yet no replies, is anyone there?

Customer service, eh?

LOL ycr007... I agree with you...

... And this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Why do these guys claim things when then can't provide them?

And the response time is absolutely TERRIBLE. I too Moderate a forum for a web-hosting company. I'll get killed if I reply just one hour late!

Not to mention these guys are running a really outdated version of phpBB which is prone to many security threats.

Phew!

D

yeh it Has started with Digit too !!!

Cheers !!!

P

ehh...What has "Started" ?? If you'e talking abt the Inefficiency was there since Long.....

S

all the doods at digit
get some coooler gifts for the digit patron man. include some hardware, some more software.
rite now, the category is so limited.

work on it

B

Huh just bit surprised to know me not alone in disapointed user list!!!

I had claimed some things last 15th of month , i mailed Digit patron PPL many times , but no replies from them , then i had to mail at help@jasubhai.com about this things , suddenly i got reply from both DP and Help desk. They said they sent the gift , in next mail they said they were in process of sending gifts , its a week after i got last Email frm them , dont know if i will get gifts or not.

Truely speaking Digit has loosed Market share already and they are serviving due to subscribers who subscribed for 1 year or more.

PLZ is there any digit Guy reading this ???

hey digit emps
i bought digit from jan but i got an internet connect only in may

can i add a patron code for previous month ????

plzzzzzzz i had spent so much on them (i lived hungry by spending 300)

hope i'm not dissapointed

C

Guys at DIGIT
BETTER SHUT DOWN THIS PATRON THREAD

Hey ! Why do u want to close this thread ?????

Did they offend u ?

y?????

C

Just read the previous pages & tell me when they last replied here ??
As they don't bother to.... there is no use of people writing here & hence this thread serves no purpose.

I guess u r rite anyway...

No Help from digit (phone nos are a longtime fake ones)

by the way y that 93 gb hdd, huh?

C

HDD 0 + 1 = 80 + 20 billion bytes ( 93 GB )

B

why you talking of this thread ? why not to close digit patron program only.

well i havnt received the gifts yet , after 45 days ( 6 weeks ) of claiming .

Heloooo any admins ?????
any digit guy ?????

U r right .
And thnx for that HDD info..
I thought it was a loss in 120 gb that made that.

Is it possible to redeem points to renew my sub ?

Huzefa said:

I think they use a D.C battery for patron server (thats y its static coz the server jus doesnt work !)

Hey man where r the digit ppl, why r they behaving like politicians (they dont come when we need them) !!!
U ppl hav to give us our points, we can provide our subcription no for proof!!!!!

N

Try Now posting your code,My and my friends code are working now,i think there was some problem with patron in accepting digit code,its working now,i got my points!!

Thx Digit Team!!

U mean postin ur code in this forum, yes PLZ

P

My code worked properly this time. My grouse with Digit is that they should change the free gifts available.

I have collected 240 points and I dont feel like redeeming them for any gift. I mean with gifts like 2 years old Skoar mags, encyclopaedias and movie VCD's Digit has already given away free, old Digit specials and even older monthly Digits, what should I redeem my points for?

Gifts have not been updated for 2 years. Digit should change them now. What do you guys feel?

Thanx DIGIT my code worked properly this time.
For all other members getting error try now, maybe it will work like mine did!

Is it possible to redeem points to renew my sub ?If so how many points for a magazine ?

DIGIT PATRON

For valuable points of Digit Patron, pls make available some harware stuff like:- Pen Drive, RAM Modules, Headphone Set (good..!!), Optical Mouse etc instead of SKOAR, Digit Back Issues, Movie VCD - such type of gifts are really waste of PATRON POINTS.

Is it right or wrong?

This was already asked and they said they wanted to give back issues so if people missed them they can get them.

A

hey Vignesh, think you didn't got any rep from them on subscribtion issue; but if have got any please tell me, I would like to do the same. (had mailed them but got no rep)

well this can be a good idea!!well who need digit magazines,as Regular digit reader have it in computer as pdf,and about the magazines cds,they contain old stuff ie like yahoo5.XX ,so it wont be useful today!!

So digit Should better change the stuffs,so something else,but not magazines atleast!!!

Well I dont think we will ever get a reply from digit team??
neways this was my suggestion,hope they will read someday!!

LETS HAVE A POLL AND DECIDE

i agree.

havent received my redeemed skoar 2004

its been more than three weeks since i redeemed my 120 points for the winter 2004 skoar magazine. but i havent received it. i send them a email but got no reply nor a confirmation about receiving the magazine,though i got a email which said that "your request has been accepted". i thought the people at digit were very responsible. is this the way they handle things i think i will stop buying digit. my email id is yeshu1984@yahoo.co.in

please send my magazine at the earliest.

Even I have not got the reply of confirmation.

U

what? did i register for nuthin'? eh.. i saw the gift in the site and all this are not worth the amount and time i spent updating my points...egad! what a neat way to fool customers into buying and register them... im sure not happy to have been fooled... i feel stupid. i feel stupid..i feel stupid.

N

again the same issue regarding digit patron,the codes are not working,i think it will take some time to work like the august code,neways tht something irritating!!

WOW!!! Same case with me. Though it was a year ago.

They were giving away Skoar magazine for 80 points. I redeemed it and since then have not received it. I have sent 3 mails to the so-called Helpdesk but no soln. I have stopped buying it and will never buy it again.

What would you prefer more as gift for Digit Patron?

Hi,

This is much talked issue of gifts offered by Digit as Digit Patron.

Before starting, please consider my apology if same type of thread is already here. But I think such type of little bit thoughts are there in between of general discussion of Digit Patron.

But I want to make it more clear by this poll that what readers really want out of their valuable points of Digit Patron.

Items available as gift are:-

â€¢ Encyclopaedia Britannica 2004 (3 CD)
â€¢ Back issues of Digit
â€¢ Back issues of Skoar
â€¢ Digit Fast Forward - Databse
â€¢ Digit Special â€“ Digital Music, Protect Your PC
â€¢ Art Special â€“ Flash, Photoshop, Web Design, Illustration etcâ€¦
â€¢ Back issues of Network Computing

Consider this experience:-

Month/year I exact donâ€™t remember, but a series of step-by-step tutorial of Macromedia Flash was published in Computer@Home (now magazine name is Living Digital) in three issues. I came across that issues lately, and forgot that particular months.

I made simple inquiry at their customer service by email to know particular month in which the tutorials were published. But by my pleasant surprise they sent me all three issues with CDs (in which that articles were published) absolutely FREE of COST. And at that time newsstand price of Computer@Home was Rs.85/-. Digit also can do and afford like this.

I mean to say that such type of back issues are not the gift to make waste of valuable Digit Patron Points, which are not of interest of majority, some exception will be there. Digit can offer some more valuable gifts to their readers (sorry â€“ LOYAL READERS).

Somewhere said in â€œDigit Patronâ€? topic that â€œThis (Digit Patron) program is designed to reward the loyalists, the true Patrons of Digitâ€?.

Instead of such type of gifts some of bellow mentioned gifts are most useful:-

â€¢ Pen Drive
â€¢ Keyboard
â€¢ Mouse (cheap optical can also be considered)
â€¢ 10 Blank CDs Pack
â€¢ Speaker / Head Phone etc & such type of other useful items...

So please post your views and be heard (if there is any scope for readerâ€™s voice).

@raval_manoj

i agree wid u completly....i have around 100pts of digit patron but i dont wanna waste them on back issues of digit...i think digit loyalist may already have all the back issues...so no point givin them the same stuff again n again :roll:

The cd with the gift is broken.What do I do ?

vignesh said:
The cd with the gift is broken.What do I do ?

You atleast got a broken one. I dint even get that.....

N

HA ha ..I didnt receive my gift untill ( 2 months.....) now,Hadnt written any mails to helpdesk,as i know there will be no replies...

somehow vignesh ,i think u r lucky atleast u got the magazine...

Ur solution is keep writing mails to helpdesk...but dont wait for their reply.....

What Happened? Has Jasubhai Media gone bankrupt?

I have three problems with Digit for the last three months and nothing has been done yet.

1. Monthly Issues are always delayed/lost. Past two months I had to make STD calls to the Customer Dept of Digit and make sure the issues were delivered.

2. I have lost my digit patron points of one month due to the negligence of Digit Delivery Section. (This month Sept. is also on the verge of loss)

3. I am not going to say that here, as thats a minor problem, and I dont want the above two problems to be ignored due to this.

But why am I putting this here, on the forum?

Because I am not geting any positive response from Digit. So I want my fellow brothers to be careful of this fraudulent company called Jasubhai Media, and do not subscribe for any magazines from it.

I suggest, if u are looking for h/w stuff, go for online sites like www.anandtech.com and if you are a gamer cum programmer, then go for PCQUEST. They are much better in terms of content and quality.

Hi Digit Patron team.
I'd like to thank you for delivering the gift that i had asked for(networking issue).
But why did it take you 2 months to deliver it.
Anyways,my patience has atlast paid off...thanks!

I was told by the concerned person that the gift section was going to be upgraded by the first week of september 2005. everytime i call in she tells me that it will come up in a couple of days but nothing happens

I redeemed my points for ice age VCD.
I got a mail -
"Dear Digit Patron,
Thank you for redeeming your gift from the Digit Patron Program. You have chosen to redeem the following Gift Ice Age VCD (2002)

tell me how to enter the code given in the last page of digit

Hey this is unfair u could add only on patron number per month hey guys you should change this rule !!!

Well, intrduce some better gifts for exchange, like pop. games of 2002-2005 or in-demand softwares. You can really do that
Other thing is allowing subscribers to enter code even if the;re code is validated for that month. I had a problem with my comp & net & i wasn't able to get a 20pt for one month.

Some hardware like pen drives , cd /dvd packs , RAM , etc . will do very well.

And all those digit subscribers who think I m right , please support me.
Hell Yeah...

YES please give us hardware instead of the cds and books!!!!!!!

I would like to only say that you guys must speed up the delivery of Digit Patron gifts. It takes more than a month to reach me. It is so unfair.

Ibot my digit mag on 26th nov.. the digit patron code didnt work.

@~Phenon~ You are right - I totally agree with your point of view.

Items available as gift at the moment aren't good inough to giveup valuable Digit Patron Points. Some time back there was similar post by me - one can read more at:-

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11314&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=120

I sent many e-mails to respected editor (Digit) and to digitpatron@jasubhai.com. And received reply from digit patron team that "Sir, we got your point and we'll make necessary changes in future."

But when this "Future" will come - no one can say...

THAT was very UNLIKE DIGIT!!!

I think Terminator will be there soon..All the free stuff they give is in the Patron..Maybe a back issue of Dec 2005 will be available.

introduction:
the gifts given in digitpatron are terrible.

explanation:
i have 220 points (forgot to enter code many months though) but....
i will never need unistal antivirus.
i have all old digit copies since january 2001
i have many of those computer arts specials -- bought them in a mega package years back.
ice age-- i already hav it
One Pc Cd with important windows s/w--- :evil:

don need at all coz digit dvds are sufficient and also my 3gb montlhy net bandwith
networkin computing-- do i need it? :roll:

conclusion:
the digitpatron program sucks bigtime

It's high time that the gifts need to be reviewed

quite similar to Generic Superhero

Same here ! I have 300+ points, but donno what to do with the points.

DIGIT must add new gifts. :idea:

M

digit should think of giving hardware as gifts in digit patron, may be cap, pens , Usb drive etc.They can get sponsors for this.

S

that's a good idea

just saw the gifts,apart from ice age & encyclopedia all other gifts are just old issues of mag

neway i have just 20 points :lol:

this is really bad.
not even a single reply to mine problem

and u ppl call it digit patron helpdesk.
where is the help?
when i will get it?
after January?

mine digit patron code isnt working? what am i supposed to do?

V

i have redeemed a gift 5 weeks ago and no further intimation till date
wats goin on folks
???????

S

u guys need to get some new stuff up otherwise it looks like a sham to sell some old copies of Digit. You could have plethora of electronic goods the same mp3 players, 256 MB mp3 player or anything like that. Whether it's 700 points or so is irrelevant. The idea is that u guys will sell lots of copies & for people like me there would be an incentive. I've 380 points at this point in time & don't feel the need to use it for anything.

C

YEa they can give hardwares and some good softwares. They don't give prizes of contests. Atleast they shld add them on patron

N

Just 14 gifts for Digit's patrons. LOL.. GUYS do something. Going down the progress graph? Why?

S

ya ,previously it was 34,now just 14 :shock:

what does it indicate: out of stock or making space for new gifts :wink:

Why dont subscribers get automatic credit to their respecive digit patron accounts. You can stop stcking the patron sticker on the backpage on all Subscriber's Copy.

Gift for digit patron

Hi friends,

Team of digit can't find 'Pastiwala' so they have decided to give all old 'pasti' to his loyal readers!

Man (from digit ofcourse) spend some money to please your subscriber.
Don't try to run this forum 'digitpatron' in 'Focat mein'(in free).
I think all other member will be agree with me.

JAI HIND!

They wont give that directly to subscribers coz they want their website grow

Hello all

i got the redemption mail approved before a month ie on jan 4

i didnt received any gifts !!!!! ( not yet )

please kindly look over this ( my mail id is muthusrinivasan.a@gmail.com )

thanks

muthusrinivasan

Well i entered this months patron code and it shows that Feb code has been entred but my points didn't increse this month. Help PLZ

Seriously guys,
Do u really expect any response from the "HelpDesk"?
The last reply from the "HelpDesk" was on 15 Dec 2004.
Most probabily they have forgotten about Digit "Patron" program and that shows in their service that many subscribers are yet to recieve their gifts and most codes dont really work.

N

well today i got the digit patron gift but the dvd in tht is missing......i already got tht after 3 months ...and now again should i continue writing to helpdesk...again

its too bad......i received it through blue dart..but still the content they promised is missing..

i requested tht via this email id..
ronitvohra [AT] gmail [DOT] [COM]

S

if we redeem our points with an issue of DIGIT will we get CD/DVD alongwith it or just the magazine?

Redeem

I hav forgotten 2 enter at least 12 patron codes of d previous issues of d magazine.Is there any way to redeem d points?

S

i dont think u hav a chance to redeem ur points as the code is valid for that month only.

I have never seen any one from digit reply in this thread...But its called a helpdesk !

V

Their customer service really really sucks now... They are now not bothered about readers ...

This helpdesk is really useless

If I was the administrator I would have closed the entire section "Digitised"

Its totally worthless.

Thumbs down to team digit.

Digit Patron Helpdesk said:
Ok, there are some of us out there who have very little clue on what to do if they get stuck with a problem wrt their Digit Patron Accounts (those of you who have no idea of what this 'Digit Patron thing' is all about, check out the bottom of the last page of Digit and get tuned in!)

To know about the Digit Patron Program, from everything to anything, from forgotten passwords to username changes to redemption issues or then to whatever else bothers your sense of calmness in life, there is hope!
First control the urge to fire off emails to n number of people all over the place because that only adds to the delay for you to get a response and secondly, do the following:

Just log on to www.thinkdigit.com/digitpatron, click on the "Help" tab and send us a mail detailing your problem and leave the rest to us. We'd love to hear from you and help you of course.

Is it so

Great Man , may be that can help . But I dont think they will still feel ashamed.

@neerajvohra man that was a costly,wierd but good solution to your problem that you came out with. Atleast now they might send you it to you. I have got points now but none of the gifts interest me so not redeeming it now

since i was off of my net connection, i was unable to logon to thinkdigit.com/dpnew and enter my code for feb and as my annual exams were going on , my father didnt permitted me to go to a cyber cafe . is there anyway that i can enter the code for feb cos now i'm online??

Gifts on the Digit Patron Site

Hi,

I am a digit patron & subscriber for like a good 2 years now. n i must admit that it is one of the best magazines.

The only criticism i have of digit is in their Digit Patron program. Since the time i can remember the gifts that are available for redemption in the gifts section of Digit Patron are the same and have not been updated in a long time.

It feels more like that the guys at Digit want to get rid of junk that they have accumulated rather than give anything meaningful away to show their appreciation to the digit readers. I had even sent an email on the same subject , but never got a reply and the gifts have remained the same old **** ...

I have accumulated a lot of points but there is nothing worthwhile that is redeemable.

So please take this post as just a reminder that something must be done... Rest is upto DIGIT
Waiting for a change !!!

regards,
Vivek

Digit Patron

hi can i change my e mail id in digit patron program as my id has been deleted because it was pop3 id of sancharnet and i havent renewed my a/c.

Yes,

u can definately change ur ID but ur points (that u hv earned by entering each month) But ur points from ur older id Will not be transferred to the new one. I guess this is the trend...

Cheers n e-peace.....

M

reply

i didnt mean that i just want to change my e mail id thats it

No u can't. U have to create a new account because your email address is ur patron id

Please post all the digit patron related queries here

I had sent a email complaining to you about the wrong gifts that you guys had sent to me.But no body has replied till now.The email was sent about 3-4 weeks before.I wanted that gift on Database or something like that and you guys had sent me a full PC CD which I had got before after opting for it the last time. Morover to this fault, my points are also gone for nothing.The CD costs just about 60 points or so and that database thing costs 120 points or so. Please help.

Do they even send you any gifts????

I was a digit subscriber for more than 3 years. my subscription ended this feb 2006.
I redeemed my digit patron points for the encyclopedia. first i was told that my gift was delivered to my address when actually it wasn't. then after a few days they informed me that the gift is OUT OF STOCK! They returned all my points.
I redeemed all those points (and some more) again for other gifts. Its been more than 2 weeks now and I'm yet to receive any email confirmation from them. This is disappointing and I'm happy that I didn't renew my digit subscription this time.

tuxfan said:
Just one question to Digit Patrol Helpdesk.

Why are subscribers not getting automatic credit for patron? I feel that is something so obvious. Secondly, that will also stop one menace. There are a few newsstand owners who subscribe and then sell the copies in open market. No one bothers to read the words "subscriber copy, not for sale". If such copies do not have patron codes, no one will buy them!!

Any answers?

Very Good Idea. I support you. For subscribers it is not required to log in @ digit patron and put the code. It should be automatically. The patron code sholdnot be pasted on the subscriber's copy. I hope Digit will consider it.

I have not yet received my Movie DVD which i was suppose to get with the new year issue of digit. I even gave u the check of Rs.50 wich get cleared on 25/02/2006. The check was of ICICI bank (655507).

err, plz remove yr Sub code, its harmful to reveal it...

ok

No ice age vcd recieved(Digit Patron Member)

Dear sir,
i am feeling extremely sorry to say to u that ur services have not been any customer efficient to me. I reuested a redemption of my point with ice age vcd 2002, on the 1st of april,and even a letter was sent by digit team approving my request,but no such move was made, and till now i have not recieved anything,not even an e-mail denying my request and submitting me a proper reason.Your site gurantees of delivery within 4 weeks of time but i havent seen any such action from ur side.Iam an interactive member of digit for so long but now i feel frustrated of your services. Please prove your worth and at least make me a reply to my problem at the earliest.

Here is the copy of letter that i received from your team members on the 1st of april after making my request for redemption of my points.

Dear Digit Patron,

Thank you for redeeming your gift from the Digit Patron Program. You have chosen to redeem the following Gift Ice Age VCD (2002)

Your Login Name :harry_nitish@yahoo.co.uk
An email has also been sent to the administrator of Digit Patron program requesting an approval for the gift. You will be shortly receiving an email confirming the request.

For any future communication and queries regarding this program, please write to digitpatron@jasubhai.com

Cheers
Digit Patron Administrator

thanks, and what to enter as subject: ?

The Digit Patron i suppose was given to give Digit readers additional benefits.

But i am sorry to say that the gifts offered are outdated.

I dont understand why will someone redeem a back issue of digit if already subscribing.

The other gifts are also back issues like 2004 or earlier of network computing.Even the special issues of computer arts etc are old junk outdated issues

It is high time the gifts are changed or the digit patron be scrapped all together.

I have a suggestion that you could offer a subscription to digit or any other magazine of your sister concern like network computing etc but no old issues please. Say 3month subscription.

You can also give movie DVDs or Encyclopedias.

Or even gadgets like Cd pouches etc.

Man its true patron ought to be changed

The gifts are to be demanding not the old magazines 1 of some lakhs requires the old magazines not the daily buyer of digit we want patron gifts should be rewarding....

Well I have a humble request to introduce some good gifts in redeemption. From this more & more people will be demanding the magazine.

R

Your Digit patron program is very unique.
A great concept.

Hey fatbeing,if you are reading this post atleast let us know if you are going to upgrade the section in the near future or not.

Yes, the Digit Patron programme is going to undergo some pleasant changes - better gifts and whatnot.

C

hey digit patron help... once again i m unable to post my 16-digit points in this month i.e. May 2006, even though i enter perfect 16-digit code on the said site i.e. www.thinkdigit.com/digitpatron .. like previous 2 month back, i still not able to get points in the month of March 2006, what happen ?? what is the use of all those lost points worth 40 points, i am subcriber, i had used to enter it every month now and then.... i am waiting for some good interesting gifts, etc. but see now what is the use of those point which i have not able to enter it .. it say it is error in enter the same. even login id is fine .. even i mail about this problem long back, no one seem response. no one reply either.. what is the use of your customre care???

C

My digit patron code for May is nor working. I sent mail but no response. Fatbeing(Nimish) plz help.

thinking about digit for 8 days and still counting... yeah... waiting still to get my copy... why don't you dispatch the copies by the end of the previous month rather than beginning of current month...

A

Hi digit,

I am unable to enter 16 digit code for May, 2006. I am entering it damn perfect code but it is showing error that correct code is not entered. Please HELP!!

FatBeing said:

Oh! We have got some answer atleast!
LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE PLEASANT CHANGES. . .

C

I think many of us r having digit patron code problem.

We were having a slight problem with the database, it seems. Please try your codes today - they should work.

A

Now I have successfully entered the code for May. Thanks Fatbeing

C

Patron code worked. Thnx Fatbeing.

A

When do we expect to change or add new gifts that are worth the wait???????

I have 300 points and i am waiting to redeem but cant do it because i have all the gifts mentioned in there....

please understand

plz plz change the gifts.. add better ones...thanx...

Fatbeing has ealier said that they are goiing to upgrade the Digit Patron section. May be they are going to upgrade it in June (Part of Anniversary celebration).

K

No upgrade .... nothing being done!!! :-(

Now I have successfully entered the code for May. Thanks a Ton Fatbeing

When the patron program had started, there used to be gifts for multiples of 5 (like 45, 55). Now, there are only gifts ending in zeroes. Unfortunately, I got struck with a ending 5 after redemption of one of my gifts. I'm not able to do anything with the five points. What shall I do with them when it is going to be a waste always?
Why shouldn't digit consider giving 5 more points for those with such probs?

R

The gifts must be changed.
Why any Digit reader will require books on Photoshop or Flash when the Fast Track series covers or will cover such topics.
Giving away past Digit issues is also futile as we are having it once a while as e-mags on Digit CD/DVD. Plus, reading about tech news of a year or more back is also not much fun.

Rohit

A

The June Special Edition is going to cost Rs.200/- or more. It is also a Special 5th Anniversary Issue. Therefore instead of 20 points, I think we should get extra points

Like its 5th Anniversary so 50 Points

What Say?

Great idea. Should be implemented.

Please give old copies of SKOAR for Digit Patron programme

I have a few suggestions:

1. Please display the number of points a subscriber has BEFORE he/she enters the code. This way we can find out if there is a problem in the database system or are the points really being added.

2. Please make some arrangement that the subscribers can book future issues using the points.

I second these suggestions. Would be nice if implemented

I think that the people maintaining Digit Patron are real pachyderms. No matter what people say they are not going to give it an ear. The Digit Patron program was started as a marketing stunt by Jasubhai. This was a period when Chip was just launched and Jasubhai people were facing stiff competetion. So in order to gain loyality they started this **** called Digit Patron. I have nearly 250 points and I didn't find a single gift worth redeeming. I suggest (though I know it will not be listened as always) to stop this bull**** right now. My last hope of Digit Patron's upgradation is vanished with June 06 anniversary. If they r not upgrading the gifts now they'll never do that. STOP FOOLING PEOPLE. You are already overpriced @Rs125/- with 150/- and 200/- tags in b/w for special editions.

Dear rohit & sandip - I totally agree with both of you.
Current patron scheme is not good at all, and items available for loyal readers need to be changed. Some hardware items should be there in place of unwanted back issues of various mags, or latest encyclopedia - game cds etc

My digit subscription ends this month. I received reminder to renew, but now I'm not going to renew my subscription any more because of such type of cheating.

This will stop people from buying subscriber copies. If the member is registered, just add their points automatically. The code will still be there in the copies for the newsstand. Please do this. Good request by tuxfan.

A desperate change is req. in the digit patron gifts secton. No one wants old issues of digit and Skoar. Better offer original software with the consent of the distributors. Even hardware stuff will do great.

The thread has been started in dec 2004 ...nos of replies to 14 pages suggestions/request ...we can say nearly nil....so what r all expecting form such thread.....even 1 suggestion being implemented.......????
THIS thread itself is BIG joke on members
It has croosed 14 pages and howmany replies form DIGIT hardly 5...everyone is shouting suggestions any replies ...no..some of ur suggestion r good ..which i had suggested to digit patron section mailing them....still no improvment...suggestion r good if atleast a thou8 is gevn over them...but i am sorry to say that....DIGIT sleeps over such threads.....
It was told to me by one of mods when i tried to highlight some poinst wrt digit patron that mods cannot do anything ..digit admin should look after it...so how many time digit admin have gone thru this thread and replied to queries and suggestions????

S

with all the earlier digit issues available as the pdf's. i feel there is no use in redeeming my points for that. Moreover they dont have any DVD (just 2 plain CDs each).

And yes... once the digit guys gave me a faulty cd/dvd (april 2005). I asked for replacement at least 5 times. The reply "we have dispatched it" but it never arrived. (I wrote 2 times after this.. 3 times earlier).

hell I wasted my 100 Rs for a scrap paper (duh)

Sorry to go off-topic but I'm pissed off

Suggestions!!!

First Of All-
Remove all the current 20 gifts from the list.These Are not of any use.
Beside them provide hardware gifts,skoar issues etc.

@ Wizrulz: You need to calm down a bit. Breathe in, breathe out... repeat forever...

What do you want? A reply for every post? Should I start replying to every post acknowledging that I have read it? Would you really like to see a post from me after every member's post... saying "I have read your post"? [I could set up a script to do this you know

]

There are thousands of members on here and just 3 or 4 Digit employees on the forum, obviously we will post a lot less than members...

Mods are NOT employees of Digit or JDM, so PMing them about issues regarding the magazine is a waste of your time as well as theirs. Please contact fatbeing or Raaabo for Digit related issues.

@ everyone:
We're working on better patron gifts. Things take time. Remember that this is a bonus that NO OTHER MAGAZINE will give you. You buy other mags you just get the mag. you subscribe to other mags, you get a chance to win something as crappy as a graphics card or a computer table. At digit we've given people the chance to win Cars, bikes and other cool things. We're not perfect, and our patron gifts are not the talk of the town or anything, but they ARE FREE!

We'll make them better as time goes by, and we're sure you'll like the gifts then.

For those of you who are not entering their codes because they dont like the current set of gifts... what will you do when we change the gifts and you find yourself short by 200 points -- which you have already earned, had you only entered your code regularly?

Write in to help at jasubhai dot com if you face problems entering your code.

Raaabo

^^
Gfx Card. Which mag?????????

yeah now i am calm as u have replied(atleast after a week

).....but if we keep on shouting suggestions and troubles here and if no one is replying how we r gona know if its falling on deaf ears..????
Atleast u can do is keep us posted the progress or ur thought process on which ur working so that if we find anything wrong (acc to our view) then we can suggest..isnt it?
There r thousands of members but..are thousnads of members replying to this SPECIAL thread???
Abt PM to mods...i agree i PMed mods..sorry for that..but just ask fatbeing if i had not Pm'ed him abt this??? So i am not completely at fault.....
Yeah we all agree this a bonus...but then it should had been helpful for whom u have started this ...that is the digit regular buyers or i can say SUBCRIBERS.....the aim was to reward the subscribers..isnt it(u can always deny this).....but the same subscribers when suggesting nothing is said that yes this is beeing implemented or is in process. >> liek auto entering the patron points for members(read subcribers) etc......
Ya waiting for teh gifts to get good...hope one day i will redeem my points

One more thing the link form digit patron site to this forum doesnt works

AND YES I EXPECT A REPLY

V

i have redeemed this book on photoshop.. twice over with something like 100 points ... but stiil it didnt reach me .. how sad !!!

the first time i did it in the 1st week of december last year :shock:

and then some time back in june this year ... and guys have stiil kept me waitin !!!

Guys... plz change the gifts... they have become so outdated... plz

No Digit Patron is NOT for subscribers only, and NOT for newstand buyers only. It's called patron because we want to reward regular readers of the magazine, doesn't matter whether you subscribe an get it for cheaper or pay more every month and buy it from a newsstand... It's quite simply our humble way of thanking our "Patrons". We will try and improve upon gifts soon, perhaps we need sponsors to help make the gifts better, and it is all being worked upon.

Raaabo

But how about giving automatic credits to subscribers? They are the regular readers anyway! It sounds logical!

Doesn't it?

tuxfan said:

I am now calm..but digit people need to be on there toes....

I had reported in this same thread abt forum link not working from the patron site...which i guess ur reading regulary..

'We're sorry, but we were unable to find the page you requested.'

Now i can understand digit poeple r so busy improving digit quality that they do nothave time to respond to there own customer queries and also to look after there PATRON site.

I reported abt the link not working on 18th june adn today is 3rd August....(total abt 15days...oh somany days and no repair

)
Setting a script for reply is easy ..as u told me ...do at least that now.....

Sorry if i am sounding a bit rude ...but when u want a thing to improve adn if everthing is falling on deaf ears then its bound to get such a reaction...

guys i juz saw a gift a LOR DVD for 240 points......I got a doubt

Which version is it I or II or III

Or A bundle

Plz verify those Plzzzzzzz.....If interesting I can have it...SO

T

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally a long long awaited change in the gifts section

Yeah that's a great choice giving out collectable CDs and DVDs which everyone would want to collect rather than old issues which we subscribers already have

It will be great if u give additional product info with the CDs and DVDs

This way it is easier to choose .

One more thing, Should I ask for two gifts at once or one after another

I earlier redeemed a skoar issue which took ages to reach me

gud to see some new gifts are added in the patron section

but there is also a need for regular delivery of the gifts to the customers

as i said before i requested a magazine on May 15 and i didnt received it till now!

so u should care abt such things in future that a customer should get the gift in time!

D

Mr.Neeraj,

We have resend the gift on 11/09/06.

You will be receiving it shortly.

Just now (19th september 2006, 10 pm) I redeemed 240 points for LOTR DVD
Lets see how much time it takes..
Anybody who has redeemed a new gift and received it.. ??

It is great!!!

I feel very good when I see the new gifts in Digit Patron program. The gifts are like that we need some of them. What do you think memers?

Finally I got my patron gift today.It was digit tech encyclopedia.
But now when I have checked the gift, I can safely say that it sucks big time and I wasted my points.

If your computer had an issue, you can try a system restore to restore your system to a previous date but with digit patron, even that is not possible...in short, you cant enter the previous months patron code

G

Hi, thanks. Don't you think that's injustice to the subscribers with the only "limited/,meagre resources" which the subscriber's get!!!???

What's wrong if they allow to enter previous month's codes. What they want to prove?

Incredibly horrible stuff..... I don't have words to describe such a service.

Really.

Gaurav

I'am upset that once my subscription had ended Digit closed my Digit Patron Account along with my unredeemed points.TOO BAD.Anyways I had redeemed some of my points with 2 good books.Now I have a new account.So I want my points to be restored.

I'll like to have a mouse pad with Digit on it.

D

We apologise for this and any inconvenience caused to you.

This is an online system, which does'nt accept the previous month's code.

And if we try to enter the code of previous month it get mismatched.

Warm Regards,

Digit Patron Team.

Even though, if you had not renewed your subscription your Patron id will always remain active because this program is not restricted to our subscriber's only but, it is for our new stand reader also.

To check what is wrong with your login account help me with your login id.

Warm Regards,

Digit Patron Helpdesk.

hey I'll send u my subscription prev. subscription code and may be u may look up my account info.well I made a new digit patron account as the system tells me that my previous account is non existent.Anyways I wud like to renew my subscription so can u dig up all my previous details if I sent u my subscription code thru a pm.

Is it allowed to enter the Digit Patron Code of the past few months together in the current month or are these to be entered in their respective month duration only?

which part of the lord of the rings is the dvd???

D

The first part.

oh, thanks,, the first part only,, not good,, good but not worth 240 points,,

K

Why don't you offer some worthy things as digitpatron gifts since the offers are not much useful for regular subscribers and readers like me who are purchasing most of the publications from Digit?

ya, digit should offer some really worthy things such as pen drives, games cd, optical drives etc.. etc..

i redeemed my points for a web designing cd but its been 2 mnths i didnt recieve any thing...ne idea wat to do?

Cheers~!

BUt I dont think it is possible to register old issues. Please help me now. I really wanna know how can I register.

hi i cant enter my code for november..it says invali code entered...
plz help my code is-
0611-5158-a586-e0fb

plz help

A

the code given at the end of the magazine for digit patrons in this issue is not working for me, I had mailed twice yet no reply from your end????????

the code given is - xxxxxxxxxxxx

PLEASE LOOK INTO IT.

ppl dont post the codes in public even if its not working! i guess...

the november code is not working for me too.... is this a mass problem?!

A

why the help desk is not responding to my mails, fatbeing you edited my post for the code, I think you didn't notice the post just above mine, there also code is mentioned.

yup guyz same here tooo

November code not working

NOV,06 CODE IS NOT WORKING FOR ME TOO.

this is happening 1st time for me in last 2 yrs., i guess if it is a mistake of Digit team, they should give us subscribers, automatic credit of 20 points

also, digit team should add more gifts in the list , i have 300+ points accumulated, but not redeemed coz don't want the digit old issues which i have already. even ice age cd too. instead team Digit could give option of subscription of future issues. i already have renewed my subscription till Jan,08. so option of further issues after Jan,08 will be a good for me. TEAM DIGIT , THINK ABOUT US TOO, i.e. loyal subscribers

C

me too!!!, i am not able to enter november 2006 16-digit code here. what went wrong from ur side on digit patron site.... hire me to fix this problem if u can.

also it didnt display my existing points? have it purge??????? pls help

and one thing i m not enter october 2006 16-digit code bcoz it is too late...

C

Yea me too can't enter Nov 2006 patron code and plz add option to change e-mail address.

same here....me too can't enter code for november....

Guyz Its Working Now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check it out now...the november code is accepted now

BTW

Digit Patron ...Fellas add some nice goodies ...since lot of us have most of ur old issues & lol the books tooo

one suggestion

Can u list out the gifts based on points ...like the gifts which require huge points at the last & the least ones at the first.....this way we can be more choosy ...rather than salvaging the entire list running to across 4-5 pages...Oh add some nice screenshots wid details...most of us had trouble of identifying which version of LOR DVD u gave away

Ur humble reader

I have registered to Digit Patron using my old id dar_nir@hotmail.com.
Now i have switched to my Yahoo id, and will discontinue using the hotmail id. Is it possible to transfer my digit patron points to the other id? I can prove that both are my accounts only.

C

^^
Not possible. They shld add option to change email address.

you its working now.... maybe they forgot to update that or something.....

but i expected atleast an mere reply here in this thread by any digit personnel in these days.....

& adding some more gifts would be nice, recently some books were added though ....

I ordered an 'The Lord of the Rings' DVD which i got on 5th Nov.But it was scratched n in damaged cond. n i'm unable to play it :sad:

Hello!! sir....

Actually my problem is that, i have given an order to the digit patron for a gift of book named "photoshop 6" of about 100 points frm my email-id ta_topper@yahoo.co.in, about 7 to 8 months & each time when i remind help desk, they send me a message that they are sending my book very soon to me but nothing happened upto now.

Can u people please tell correctly upto which time u will send my book to me or are u are going to return my 100 points back ???

please reply soon.

frm,
sandeep

My case is still pending...Wht HELP DESK is doing

HI,

ps: my email- ony_thetiger@yahoo.com

Enjoy~!

D

Hello,

In case you change your existing email id which is also your username to your Digit Patron account, you would lose all access to the account, including all the points you have garnered till date.
If you would still like to go ahead and change your email id, what you will then need to do is register afresh the new email id with the Digit Patron Program, just like you did with the previous email id. Well, basically start from scratch with a points tally of zero.

Warm Regards,
Patron Help Desk.

Hi,

We regret for this.

We request you to send the DVD, we will replaced it.

Thanking you.

P

I think u should include new freebies for more points .
include something heavy

S

Give better contents please

Instead of adding stuffs i see things are disappearing from that gifts list!
The books were nice also but they are not no more (in the main list), stock khatam ho gaya kya?

please add some nice things

old issues & goodies which were given with digit / digit subscription are no use for people who are buying digit for long as they already have them!

I have been reading since along time and have quite a few issues with the digit patron scheme but i did not enter the code in those months.I am regular reader of the mag, i am not a subscriber though is there any way I can get the points now if I provide the previous issues codes.

@ aneesh
there is no way u can do that.

S

I redeemed my points for LOTR DVD but its been 5 weeks and I haven't recieved it yet.
I entered my AFL no. and saw this.

I have not recd my subscription copy of Nov'06

Hi
I am a Subscriber & my SUb no is S009748.
I have not yet rxd my Digit of Nov'06. I had sent many mails to u via ur website thinkdigit.com & also called up ur office. However I am given a reply that my copy is out for delivery from 6 Nov'06 & will be delivered in due course.
This is most amazing answer I have heard from a company who has taken adv payment & is commmited to timely delivery month on month.
I used to get my copy by 3rd of every month but this month is REALLY BAD.

Pls send my copy asap & fire the guy who is sitting with it since 6 Nov'06.
Thanks in adv.

T

Re: I have not recd my subscription copy of Nov'06

Guys, pls pls pls add some more and meaningful gifts to the digit patron gift list

I have got about 440 points, but there's no gifts to redeem. I got the T2 DVD paying the xtra 50 rs and I hav gt all 3 DVDs of the LOTR series, so pls give us some new gifts .

Like say NFS : Carbon for 500 points, That wud be nice

harmax said:
I VOTE FOR AUTOMATED PATRON CODE LOG IN FOR SUBSCRIBERS

LETS HAVE A POLL AND DECIDE

Me too. Its strange to have subscribers prove their patronage

I have been saving up points for last 2 years, but now, with this sudden withdrawal of service, have to select few of the old gifts, most of them are not really attractive!
Anyway hope to see a better program after it comes back later.
I understand this was something 'extra' so Thanks for the patron program

S

OKey, Recieved the LOTR DVD finally. But its scrached like hell. Playing in WMP or power DVD just hanged ma sys. Hence not usable. Any responces?

What more can you expect for free????

S

Wass the use of a DVD if its scratched? Would have been better not to start a program like digit-patron if you gonna send useless things *img9.echo.cx/img9/2249/angryboese0867yc.gif

There won't be patron code in Dec, Jan issues.

Plz Help Me..boo Hoo...

I HAVE ONLY 60 POINTS, AND NOW U R TELLING ME THAT DIGIT PATRON IS BEING STOP. ALL THE GIFTS NEED 80 OR ABOVE POINTS. I HAD MAILED U 2-3 TIMES AT HELPDESK THAT MY CODE FOR NOVEMEBER ISSUE GAVE ME ERROR AND I WASNT ABLE TO ENTER THE CODE FOR OCTOBER.THAT MADE ME LOSE 20 POINTS.
NOW I HAVE ONLY 60 POINTS,AND U PEOPLE R TELLING ME TO REDEEM. THAT MEANS MY 60 POINTS R GOING TO BE WASTED.........

ITS NOT FAIR....BOO HOO.....

M

Hi,
I got my december issue only on 14th dec. But u given 15th as last date to redeem our gifts.I think u should allow upto 31st dec. to redeem it.U have reduced the number of gift items ,this is unfair.Hope u would extend the date and gifts list.

K

I am a subscriber since 4-5 years. I must say that ur decision to discontinue digit patron with points lapsing is immature and just too rapid. You must give adequate time for patrons to respond to it.

You first e-mail ur subscribers telling them that their issues will be late (after 10th december, with newsstand issues arrived much earlier ) and conveniently FORGET to mention about closing plans for digit patron. And then, when i receive my issue on 16th and i open the last page, i find its all over. If i lost 360 points, it only proves digit's sick attitude towards its subscribers and nothing else. Period.

K

Dear Fatbeing,

I Have purchased Dec 2006 special after 15th instant. To my surprise I have found that all my digit patron points has lapsed by 15th when I was thinking of redeeming the points.

I am unhappy with your decision. You have not allowed adequate time before lapsing the points.

I would like to know your feeback.

Protesting against Digit Patron Discontinuance

To introduce myself, I am a continuous reader of the Digit magazine since 1998 under various Brand Names. Moreover I have more than 400 Digit Patron codes.

Frankly speaking, Digit Patron scheme was not at all required. But when it came to exist it was next to being useless. I never saw anything nice there as giveaways. My patron codes of about 4/5 issues were not registered due to sundry reasons.

But we were still content with that. We were content that OUR Digit is still giving something no other magazine is giving.

But this time my Respect and Self Diginity is at stake. I feel cheated and disrespected. How can Digit, which I respected so much, discontinue Digit Patron so unprofessionally, like a unbranded Company involved in some scam, disappearing overnight with my hard earned money(here my Patron codes+respect). There is no technical difficulties as far as I know to preserve the present patron points for redeeming later.

You call us patrons and behave with us like that.

I never felt is necessary to enter the Digit Forum, as I am busy elsewhere to post anything here. But today I registered at Digit Forum just to post these words of mine.

And time only until 15th December? Can something be more ridiculous than that. I bought this copy of Digit on 19th, because it reached here in my city late, atleast not until 10th. They should have atleast allowed the whole December and few more grace days.

So, I think this is my right as a loyal Digit reader to demand that Digit revoke their decision to discontinue Digit Patron or do that so that it does not look this un-professional.

With thanks and regards.

(Ashishpurna)

You recieved your copy of digit on the 17th of this month! Where on earth do you live?

C

hola, all,
they had postponed redeeption last date to 22nd dec, hope fellow to get it asap... i had encashed all points whew, i left 20 points..... yah, it's not fair that we have been wait patiently for long ... for nice gifts.. no options.. so to encash whatever given. grin.. it is better to have than nothing.. right.
c y
sunil

K

I don't agree with u @coolsun. Time for redeeming the points should be upto the end of January 2007.

I live in Jorhat, Assam just like you Soham. Digit arrived late here this month. Anyway it was nice to get flammed by someone from my own city. Anyway Bye and take care.

I wrote this when i got my copy on 16th dec. I checked this thread and digit patron web page for the next two days. Then i lost my hope and mailed digit helpdesk. I didn't get a reply (No surprise here, considering the quality of customer service Digit is giving these days

). And today, when i check this thread again, they have given a new deadline which is already over.

I ask:

1. Why can't members of Digit patron be informed by e-mail regarding the deadline and its extension?

2. Why can't Digit give a deadline long enough for all patrons to respond ( especially those who are unable to access net everyday to check whether the BIG BOSS has been kind enough to extend the deadline)?

3. If Digit can manage to maintain a database of such a large number of forum users with all their Private messages and other information, Why is it impossible to maintain a record of previous points in the patron program? I see
a commercial interest lurking here than a technical problem.

Some may feel i am acting like beggar. But to me what matters more is transparency of such programs and involvement of consumers in decision process. And i am not fighting for myself, i am fighting for every consumer who is unaware of what he deserves...

A

Pathetic

This is really poor on Digit's part. Not giving enough time to redeem the points. I've lost my 250+ points due to such poor decisions. I would just like to say that Digit members should not take us for granted. I'm not dying to have a terminator-2 cd, but i feel cheated today and seem like a fool, who was waiting for a nice gift in future.

All of us have other things to do in life and its not that we read the magazines the day it comes (10th dec) for a subscriber. I opened the pack yesterday to key-in the points and all I cud find was sheer disappointment and pity for Digit team for taking such a poor decision.

Damn with you and your digit patron scheme. I still cant believe you could behave like that with your reader. Bull-****.

i too felt bad in losing some of my points 40, i just waited for DVD pack with all my points,, but by listening to the end of days to patron programme, i just hurry uped my selection ,,

but its not an right way ,, for ending with losing of points,,,

The above was my earlier post @Fatbeing. It seems that u are not listening. Further, the DVD with the December Special issue is not working. Would u replace it at New Delhi?

F

I have not received my digit patron gifts yet

When will i get
please tell

G

Before the due date given by Digit patron team I redeemed for Munnabhai MBBS dvd (even after this I lost some points)till date I have not received it in spite of two reminders sent to Digit patron.
Anyone at Digit?

C

customer care??!!! r u listening?

till date, i have not recd the digit patron gifts where i have encashed...

kisorgovinda,

i agreed that it is not fair to most of us, they had abrutly stop /discontinue the same all of sudden... atleast from that point of view that i was little relieved to see on site that they had extended from 16th dec which it will relapse as per noted on magazine, to 22nd dec where i had encashed...

even my december 2006 (special issue) dvd media is not reabable in most of systems... in my research, i concluded that they had taken it recorded with XP system where it stored some hidden file named thumbs.db which give some setting for preview the images stored in media. even i request the customer care for replacement, they ask me to send the same to get it replaced!!!, it seem they had gone from bad to worst.

whew!

A

Digit Patron program was a total disappointment. Even i had to e-mail them atleast twice every time i redeem my points as my gift is almost never delivered in time.
I think that there should be automatic addition of points for subscribers.

C

No gifts yet.

More how many days do they need to send the gifts within India???

man, i had redeemed two gifts earlier and had recvd them a month after.

now i redeemed a stupid CD just to finish the points and its been a lot more than a month and still haven't recvd. my gifts....

*gives a buzzer to the digit team *

A

its nearly two months where are the gifts???????????

Same thing with me too, redeemed points for Charlie Chaplin VCD on 14 dec night still haven't received

I agree with both of d above quotes. I had two hectic months of exams. Just today I got d opportunity to leaf through January issue of Digit. Someting in forum section reminded me of digit patron and I connected to internet and tried to login and was surprised with the message that they are revamping. Why did not digit send an email to its so called patrons about it, after all they took our email ID as the username (I don't know about others, atleast mine is my email ID).
This is just underhanded stuff to deal out its patrons.
My 200+ points have gone down the drain. Why can't they have atleast retained the points? From what I have read through the read many people have lost there points like me.

Is there anyone from Digit listening?
Damn it. This was a dirty trick to play after all ur good works. :evil:

^don't worry,the people who have redeemed their gifts before the program closed have not got their gift(like me).So It is a lose-lose situation

T

Well, like many, there are no signs of any gifts here as of now. So others who have missed out need not worry.

let's just be optimistic, and wait for February 14th to see what Digit has in store for us

Regarding the DIGIT DVD of December as many have posted, there was some issue with the .NET framework, cause initially i was unable to use it. But after an automatic update with Windows, the DVD worked fine.

Just run the latest Autopatcher release and see whether it works for u

Hey, When can I expect my Digit Patron Lord of the Rings DVD ?

If Digit Patron was about to start on 14th Feb, why is there no points in the feb issue?

No idea

Dear sir,

Till date I have not received my redemed gift. This is my second letter in this regard, but even answer is till awaited. Please let me know what is the problem and when can I get my gift.

Thank you.

I hav't received my dagit patron gifts yet.I am supposed to get
1)Munna Bhai MBBS DVD
2)1PC CD

I have redeemed my points in Dec. only.

what is happening??????????

I too haven't received my Ice Age CD. I had redeemed it in DEC.

WHERE IS THE F-16 I ORDERED IN DECEMBER??

Comon guys,Digit knows we haven't got our gifts(because they haven't sent one),they will send us(if they want to)no need for everybody to come and complaint about this.
NO USE

V

14 Feb has passed long back and no updates on DIGIT Patron. Seems DIGIT people have forgot Valentine day

Jokes apart, DIGIT has really lost credibility. They seem to never follow deadlines, make false promises and seems to be more like a fraud company.

First they never shipped their contest winners prizes, now no gifts for DIGIT patrons.

FRAUDS ...

K

Hi Digit Team..

Well.. It turns out to be most of the people here are right. You have been losing your reputation. your disc contents are growing to be boring and now, the digit patron is annoying. Did u notice? you said it was 14 Feb 2007. (or was it mistaken for 2008 or something????) till now, you havent raised the curtains nor displayed a further date. Now, we already lost 40 points for Jan and Feb issues. Are you going to add them for the next month? Would you give those 40 points to us?
You've given digitians much more than what you are giving now. Dont keep us boring. Upgrade.. Wake up guy'zzzzzzzzz....'

I just saw the digit patron website. It still shows that we will start the service again on Feb 14. But, on clicking close, im taken to the old DP page where I can enter the DP Code for Feb!!! Amazing! But only if there was one. Can you please tell me what is being revamped on d digit patron website?

I received my Redeemed gift today..only..

T

Finally, I received my redeemed gifts today. The dual layers DVD 9 discs of Munnabhai and LOTR. But I would have expected an anamorphic 16:9 pic on the LOTR DVD, instead I got 4:3 pic !!! and indian language subtitles!!!!

Nevertheless thanks to DIGIT, for the generosity .

D

After such a long interval ,finally i got my redemed gifts,Munnabhai DVD & Game cd.

Digit has always done things after some more days. O.K..........Thanks........

Today (1st march2007)I checked Digit patron site, but work under progress sign board is still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
