If early checkouts were also a factor, others could have been done earlier, but the Backspacer Records website was glitching. So many of us ensured that the codes were properly applied before proceeding to purchase to fall within the first 500. If we knew that other cases would be considered, which is fair on their right too as it’s out of their control, others could have also checked out earlier.

+1 to this. We are very grateful to be a part of the event regardless and had no expectations whatsoever, from the onset that was what mattered naman. ☺️ But it can’t be helped that some doubt is cast over the process. Additional winners were reconsidered, and we’re not sure how many were added to the initial 500 allocation which definitely affected the perk assignment per buyer. Hopefully the winning perks for the signing and group photo were adjusted accordingly. And maybe additional consideration and priority for those benefits would be granted to those who checked out with the code and followed the mechanics that Backspacer Records set. Adding to that was the confusion with the apparently incorrect emails, which were corrected more than an hour later, after everyone already had their hearts set on what was included in the winning email. Requesting for transparency with the matter since we followed what was posted with the expectation to follow the “first 500 qualified pre-orders”. @backspacerph
