D&D 5E D&D Beyond 12 Days of Christmas 2024

I think the only social platform they're promoting this on is Instagram, which doesn't have a link-in-bio type service that lists the giveaways available.

Also, if you already have a Beyond account you likely already have given them your info on previous purchases so you don't need to enter that info again

That presumes I’ve ever bought anything on Beyond. Which I have not.

Right, but Advent is meant to cover the 24 days before Christmas ... whereas the "12 Days of Christmas" is specifically Christmas Day plus the 11 days afterwards. So doing a "12 Days of Christmas" leading up to Christmas is something else.

esp. since it is not even starting 12 days before xmas, it's really just 12 days in December

It seems to be a newish trend. My wife was looking for Advent Calendars for our daughters and was having trouble finding the standard 24-day ones. Mostly she was seeing 12-day ones.

Yeah, it's confused, that's for sure.

I think they are counting 12 business days, maybe??

Right, bit the whole.point of the exercise is to habituate customers to the idea of using the Beyond shopping cart. Weirdly a lot of data behind that working.

No, I get that. Just annoyed is all. They didn't do that before. But, now they do. If I want the free stuff, I gotta go through the rigamarole of signing up all my information.

Yeah, mostly I'm a bit bored because it is stuff they already gave away before.

If you never expect to receive any physical items, just put in fake data.

Well… there ARE 12 days in December.

At least that many.
