Was finally going to bite the bullet and pick up the legendary bundle tonight if I could find a 25% coupon code but no dice...figuratively. I have plenty of literal dice. :-) Guess I'll check back in another 7 months. That was the last time I thought to look.

You missed the $170 off code (MYSHOTATLEGENDARY) a couple months ago.
It would be nice if they did a legendary discount code for Covid-19. I know a lot of my friends have been playing D&D online since lockdown in New Zealand took place. Would be a helpful incentive to keep up social ties and stay busy indoors.

Yeah, me too. Just when my group decided to do everything online and I decided to buy all the D&D Beyond stuff, I had missed these huge coupons by a week or two.
I doubt there will be any coupons for the next few months. Too many at-home players. Supply and demand. No reason to give out coupons with so many willing to pay full price.

Except that laws of supply and demand don't work when it comes to digital sales. As long as they have the license to sell, they will never run out of supply.
The principle of it works just fine. Right now growth for online stuff is exponential so you really don't have to give any incentive to drive sales numbers. With that being the case, you don't offer a discount to maximize the profit. With the license to sell means you aren't getting all of that as profit, only a share and likely a small one. The second factor for that is for a situation like this you don't stay solvent long term off this explosion of revenue because it's not like it goes into a piggy bank to just save forever. It's going to run out on payroll and server expenses so you have to find a way to keep revenue coming in even when new content isn't being released, and that is subscriptions. It's consistent revenue and it likely has a bigger share that goes directly to DNDBEYOND, if not all of it.

A coupon will come eventually, we have been conditioned to wait for one and denying your paying, frequently-returning customers what they expect is not a good business practice.
After I signed up 3 years ago I bought a good deal of books at full price... I later learned about this thread and I have bought with discount coupons almost exclusively. Eventually I got the Source and then Legendary bundle with the successive $75 and $150 coupons, I paid about $36 for the source and $115 for the legendary bundles (discounting everything I already had in my account)
What I'm going to is that DnDBeyond marketing team knows that some of us are completionists but also cheap and that we can wait a long time until the appropriate coupon comes along.
They can run out of supply, as in digital sales the supply is not just the books but the service. Also does not change how price points work to maximize profits.
Wondering if any of the Discount Prophets, to give adherents to this thread a common identity, are factoring in the pending release of The Mythic Odyssey of Theros into their astrological tables. Wizards is releasing a hardcover in a matter of weeks, and DnD Beyond and the other license holders will be releasing digital versions simultaneously. Has the release of new content from Wizards, particular hardcovers/major releases coincided with a discount on the bundles? Looking at say Descent into Avernus or Explorer's Guide to Wildemont (I believe the two most recent "big releases") has anyone been able to gauge patterns or timelines?

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
Seems to me like they don't do sales for a certain time period before or after a new release which makes sense from a business standpoint. Wait until after purchases start to diminish before enticing anyone else who may be on the fence. They may be bound on agreements from WOTC as well so they don't impact physical sales.
I doubt there will be any coupons for the next few months. Too many at-home players. Supply and demand. No reason to give out coupons with so many willing to pay full price.
Ridiculous statement, if that's the reason, given the current unemployment rate. Plus, supply and demand doesn't apply to an endless digital product.
I personally refuse to purchase digital content I've already paid for (I have ALL physical copies of the 5E books), simply to fill-in a character sheet. REALLY?!
AND this digital content isn't anything I can download and take or use somewhere else when Wizards fail to renew the license.
When a more meaningful product or service becomes available, perhaps I will change my mind. Avrae looks cool, but there are several good dice roller plugins available already for free, I don't need any digital content to roll an ability check or an attack roll, and can use any content I want in my online game, licensed or not.

Yes, supply and demand does apply to a digital product, if nothing else for the price point to maximize profit.
This is not just some magical endless digital supply. They have to keep scaling up their back end infrastructure, optimise code, add staff, etc to support more users.

This was my thought as well. Although I haven't looked back historically, it doesn't make any sense to give out discount codes until after release of a new product. People will pay full price for this, and anyone that's already preordered wouldn't exactly be happy if they released a discount code before release, meaning others can get the same product, from the same source, at the same time... but at a cheaper price

DM: Storm Lord's Wrath || Syr Valor Dayne: Sleeping Gods || tooltips | guides | dice |
so this is the first time i ever tried to find a coupon is there maybe one that is still usable?
Not at the moment it would seem but hopefully soon.
Any updates or info on potential upcoming discounts or codes?
No. Beyond team have said they'll plaster it all over the front page when there is an active code.

They can run out of demand though.
