i would think everyone would deplete their credits and reward points for such a sale. which, effectively, costs WIS decently and accomplishes nothing. i am not sure it would be worth it to get the people who are spending real money, because most of them would probably spend it anyway.
Time value of money my friend. If you can get 25 million dollars now, or 1 million dollars a year for the next 25 years, which one would you choose. Obviously, you would go with the 25 million dollars now. And put it in context of this sale, if you can get 20 million dollars now (so 20% discount), versus 1 million a year for the next 25 years, which one would you choose. I'm sure alot of people would go with 1 million a year for the next 25 years since in the aggregate, it's more money, but in reality, it's better to go with the 20 million dollars now due to inflation is always positive, and as time goes on, the reliability of the payment decreases.
