I just tried adding one to my cart and the discount showed up just fine in my shopping cart. Are you looking in your cart for the discounted price?

Same here, not getting the discount.

EDIT: Trying the same from a US proxy, the discount turned up. But without proxy from India, the discount isn't turning up.
Should it be fine if I purchase through the proxy?

Yes I think if the order went through via a US proxy it will be fine. I'm sorry to say that I don't know why the order would not show the discount without the US proxy.

I think it could be because of out of sync time zones.
In my browser, the timestamp on the top right of my screen reads "November 25, 2016, 06:15:54 am".
Maybe that's the reason?

I don't think that should have an effect, as I believe the online store is set to Pacific Time - 9:15 a.m. (well, now it's 9:30).

Anything ordered after 12:01 a.m. PT (that is, any order that has come in in the past 9-1/2 hours) should have been getting the discount. And I am seeing pretty much every order with a discount. So my hunch would be that it has more to do with the IP address. But I'm not sure why.

I will suggest to anyone having this problem to try a US proxy, since that seemed to solve it. If it does not work, contact eileen at [email protected] and we will try to figure something out for you.

I think I got it. Adding the badge seems to be preventing the discount from being applied.

Well I have no idea what a US proxy is or how to set it up. Been over 3  hours on and off PC and tablet.

Haha great. I'm still waiting for a reply regarding the badge.
And damn! I wanted to be one of the first people to order, been trying for hours now. Hope this doesn't add some weeks to my delivery time..

Add the badge to your order via the badge page rather than using the checkbox on the product page. There is an option to not pay additional shipping for the badge, choose that. I just checked and this method works fine.

If you already ordered a kit without a badge to get the discount, you could place an order for the badge separately. If you do this, please be specific in the comments what order you want the badge shipped with.

I am traveling and cannot check anything on the back-end of the website until this afternoon/evening, but this is a valid workaround.
