No, I am not. That is probably why it's not working for me. VIP users get a discount on everything in the store.

You can be a creator without vip only if you were a creator before they changed the rules (which I am). If you want to, you can start a new topic about it. I am not entirely sure how this method works yet so you can start a thread and try to get it figured out if you want to.

I've found that notifying devs of broken product pages sometimes gets you a free gift. But I do it to help improve the quality of the catalog.

This is true. I noticed a dev placed the wrong icon on her rave bundle as she made three, but placed the red icons on both her red and purple bundle. I sent her a short message to inform her and in response she thanked me and sent me the corrected purple bundle which was worth about 8k. I never even asked for the bundle, but I love purple (clearly) so I was happy lol.

Yes. While I'm on the topic of bundles:

When shopping for bundles, don't.
The majority of bundles have a marked up price.

Try on the bundle while in the shop without any additional products. Wear nothing but items you have already purchased and the bundled products. Take notice of the price of the products while you are wearing it in comparison to the bundle pricing. The mark up fee can sometimes range from anywhere between 100 to 3000 credits for no reason at all.

Instead of doing this, load up the bundle as previously instructed, and either buy or wishlist the products individually. 90% of the time you will save yourself a couple hundred credits.
There was only one instance where that was not the case, and that was because the developer purposely marked up the gloves to about 70k just to make the bundle appear to be a bargain.

This is not based on VIP, so anyone can do the shop try it test themselves.

If you are seeking a room + furniture bundle the client will not let you load that as a bundle, however you can click the "i" near the flag button, go to the product page for that bundle and individually "try" each product to load them up. Again, this will save you credits on that bundle.

You'd think bundles would be cheaper so to motivate people to purchase the whole outfit rather than picking and choosing, but that's IMVU logic for you I suppose.
