Accessory credit to Helium?

[Christoffer Glans]

Was wondering if the accessory credit for those who still have it since last year can be applied to the Helium upgrade price from MG? We still don't know the upgrade price, but MG owners couldn't afford CFs which means if the upgrade price is going to be too hefty for MG owners no one will be able to afford to upgrade anyway, the accessory credit might help.

The accessory credit never applied to the cost of the upgrade itself…it was for…well…accessories.

Half true. If you do an upgrade U1 and get accessory credit C1, you cannot deduct C1 from the cost of U1. However, if you do a second upgrade, U2, you can deduct C1 from U2. I know because I created a credit with a purchase of a Weapon CF, and I was able to use that credit against the cost of upgrading an EPIC DRAGON to WEAPON MG. But, as always, confirm with your bomb squad rep.

So it's basically true then?
But it would be good to get a confirm from Red here. I've got my full accessory credit left so, depending on the price of the upgrade this would be wonderful news.

Michael, are you saying that you can use it only for *another* camera path like you did, not the same one you already have been credited for?

So for example if you have *another* Weapon MG, you could apply the credit towards that camera upgrade to Helium.

Or does it work also for the same camera path but a different upgrade instance like Chris case?

I'm not RED and I don't make the rules, but I believe that once the credit posts, which is after the purchase of the camera/package that generated the credit, it can be applied to anything in the arsenal, including further upgrades.

Would be great if Red could confirm this since it's gonna have an effect on the decision to get further gear or hold it for upgrades.

I was told it could be used for whatever, it's just a positive balance in your account, like cash

I always find the best way to get info is to call your bomb squad rep directly at RED

It depends, my experience is that everything related to existing things, deals, orders, service etc. it's best to get a hold of the bomb rep, but for things in speculation, something as "hot" and new as the Helium, they usually don't have enough answers from Red HQ for such questions. So it's either get confirmation here or wait until everything is official in time.

I will jump in here. An Accessory credit is for accessory purchases not for camera or upgrades.

Hope that clarifies things.

Thanks,

Keegan

Alright, too bad but what about what Michael said? He used the credit in another Epic to Weapon upgrade?

 

[Sergio Perez]

I hope everything carries over. I have my full pre NAB Dragon upgrade credit on hold and am just waiting for the October Helium path to do it all at once...

 

[Patrick Kendall]

Yeah, Accessories only. I tried to do this with my CF Weapon upgrade. Originally there was some confusion about it with my rep, but at the end of the day, I had to use it on accessories.. I blew through it quick though.. a DSMC2 7" CF red touch monitor and a 512gb redmag and it was gone.
