ProTip of the Month
For this month’s ProTip, we encourage all recruiters (Moderators and/or Channel Managers) to turn on your Applications Manager notifications! This will ensure you receive email notifications when a new application arrives for the channel(s) you are recruiting for.
So as we are now able to see what the giveaways are and who is eligible for what kind of giveaway, I find it a bit sad, that it’s a global holiday but not all have the same chances to win something. As an example I live in Germany, I’m not eligible for a snack box or a Roku streaming device. But those who reside in the US are, plus they also have the same chance for all other giveaways. In addition, we as volunteers also don’t need to win a free subscription as we already have our QC status. So maybe it would have been a good idea to make a different entry poll for volunteers, just to make sure, we don’t win something we’re not even in need for, and someone else would be happy for.
I also did the Korean Quiz in cooperation with Duolingo and I won a Viki Pass for one month, again I’m QC and not in need for one, I would have appreciated a month free Super Duoling. It would’ve been great, if we could’ve gotten to choose it ourselves.
Otherwise, I find it a really great idea, and I’m already having fun with it. And I’d really like to win the grand prize. It would be awesome to be able, to celebrate my birthday in Korea
I see it coming all of us, who already have a subscription or are volunteers and therefore have a bit of an understanding for some keywords, will get the Viki Pass coupon. The rest who don’t have a Viki Pass and don’t have the same understanding as we will get the Duolingo coupon
Hi @brendas , so many viewers were looking forward to the 29% discount today and were very disappointed because it is only for new subscribers. Why are you hosting such an event where the prices are not available to everyone. As someone has already written, either there are regional restrictions or people who already have a pass cannot extend theirs with the discount.
We’ve already experienced that you make it difficult for us volunteers because you want to please the viewers (I’m referring to the segmenters and the subbers where the dramas come pre-subbt), but why are you annoying the paying customers now?
Your business model is getting crazier and crazier.
I love the idea of free viki pass if I can give it to someone els… I have free Viki as I’m here everyday and is a QC but giving it to someone that might not know they need it (or have enough at the mo to get it on their own) would be great gift and perfect now close to christmas.

Summary
[Viki Community Team] K-Drama Day X Duolingo
In honor of International K-Drama Day (Nov. 29) we are excited to share a special Duolingo giveaway just for our Contributor Community!

I hate it when they exclude regions, like we from Europe or other excluded regions, are worth less. I still remember a few years ago Viki had a very awesome give away I really wanted to join but then I found out I couldn’t while just viewers could join if they where from the US. It made me really upset. I had hoped Viki would have stopped doing that. Or when that’s not possible find a good substitute prize for Europe (or other excluded regions) which the included regions cannot win too. Now it feels so unfair again although it most likely has something to do with certain restrictions and regulations Viki cannot help either.
How long is that duolingo coupon valid to redeem @brendas ? Can I redeem it next year when I have more free time or is it only valid till the end of the year?
I’m wondering the same, I just moved and couldn’t do Quiz also and as for Duolingo I’d like to try it next year, like starting in January. I haven’t clicked redeem yet.
@brendas
Also I wonder as padmalayag said, if a credit card is needed if it’s only 1 month trial. That would likely mean, if you forget to cancel, it will start a subscription and charge your card?? Some businesses do that…
I tried it as well & what i get from it that it’s not a free coupon, it’s a one month free trial if you commit to paying after that, so weird imo but what to do
the Ultimate K-Drama Fan Experience!
One grand prize winner will receive a round-trip flight to South Korea to go on an all-inclusive K-drama-themed tour*! Get ready to visit iconic drama filming sites and popular hotspots from your favorite shows.
Hi @dudie ! I can see how disappointing it would be to discover your region was excluded after already getting excited about the giveaway. I’ll pass this along to the organizing team.
I’m afraid we haven’t heard back from Duolingo on when their coupon will expire. To be safe, if you’re planning on using it I would do it by December 31, 2023 - before the year ends.
It’s a Brand-New Holiday!

Bling! If you’re reading this prior to taking the Viki 
Duolingo quiz? 
Here’s the thing, make sure you fail,
