Can't get Buy X get Y Free for a category

Question

I am trying to set up a Buy X Get Y Free promo.

The idea is that if you buy 10 items in a specific category and get 1 (the 11th) item free. No matter what I do I am not able to get this done.

In Conditions I have:

If ALL of these conditions are TRUE :

• If total quantity is 10 for a sub selection of items in cart matching ALL of these conditions: Category is 41

In Actions I have:

Buy x get Y Free and I have the following options:

• Discount Amount 1
• Maximum Qty Discount is Applied To 1
• Discount Qty Step (Buy X) 10
• Apply to Shipping Amount NO
• Free Shipping NO
• Stop Further Rules Processing NO

Please let me know What I should do.

Answer 1

Just a quick guess, but if your condition is "total quantity is 10" then the 11th "free" item would fail that condition. I think it should read "total quantity is greater than or equal 10".
