Cash Shop Update
Been waiting to buy cash shop credits? Now is the right time! Buy Cash Shop Credits this weekend with Paypal (Priceless Diamond Buttons) or Stripe (Spilled Bag of Diamonds) and get one of these awesome items plus 15% bonus credits on top of your purchase. The bonus weekend will end at 2pm on Monday!
It's also time for a new reward card! Not just any new reward card, though. We've taken feedback from the first few cards, and we're opening a shop to sell the items from this card, and the past three cards.
For each stamp you will now earn Loyalty Points (LP) in ascending value to spend in the loyalty shop - stamp 1 is 1 point, stamp 2 is 2 points and so forth. Completing a card awards you 5 bonus LP, bringing the total for completing a card to 60LP.
You can save your points between cards, so if the items from this card aren't exciting to you, just wait for the next card and prizes to be released.

I quite like the new method for rewards, but I'm really disappointed that there was no new title with this card. That was honestly my favorite part of the rewards cards - the themed monthly titles (Parties with the Undead is my favorite). I really hope that is an idea you revisit for the next round - it can just be an added perk for filling the whole card maybe? Or for halfway filling it? I don't know where the titles were normally awarded so I can't tell how much I spent each time to get them.

While you're changing things, is it an option to let people choose which bonus item they get? Or give just one and the same bonus item to both payment options? I want the Spilled Bag of Diamonds but I only can pay through paypal.

I'm getting a broken image for the rewards card. Is anyone else getting that? (or maybe it's just me.)

I'm not getting any points from my previous cards, and I can't figure out how to even see them...

really appreciate the change to points! every so often i throw buckaroos at the site, and it was a bummer to get stuff i wasn't into when i managed to get stamps-- this makes it way better, thanks guys! c:

Does this mean that after you complete a card any csc purchases will still count towards rewards points when we're in between cards or will the cards simply roll over after we complete them until the next one comes out?

I like this idea, so I don't have to "waste" my money for items I don't want/need. Just wished I hadn't blown it on previous cards before. I have 0 points now, naturally :(.

I'm loving the idea of the Loyalty Shop. This sounds like it'll work so much better. :) I'm proud of that title I earned with the previous card though, but thanks for this update!

Thanks so much for the changes to the Rewards card! I always felt I was missing out on stuff because I don't spend that much on site (anymore :P).

The shop is a good idea! I think that offers more incentive than just the stamp rewards.
Although, it still takes too much money for me.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. With how it was in the news post, I thought it was going to be retroactive.
Guess I gotta put that sash in my WL and just wait for its price to go down then. :P

Ah darn, I'm still 20 points short for the 2 items I want from the shop. Will have to hope I can buy them from users I guess.

So, is this retroactive with previous cards as well? As in, do we get Loyalty Points for those as well? Or, does it start with the new card?

@Desilyna you can't really buy the points but like you tell him what item you want and he would sell it to you for a certain sP price based on how many points he had used. Idk what the going rate for epicon points is right now but I'm sure you can figure it out.

Well...bought csc...but didn't get that forum title, and probably never will now.
Buuuut...I did snag enough monthly collections to get the items I really wanted...so that'll be my adorable consolation prize. xD

When do the Paypal/Stripe bonuses end?
And oh no, retiring currencies. D: Apparently I still have a ton of EpiCON points I never spent. Does anyone want to buy them off me? :P

When will the bonus end?? Owo I've got a bit of spending money this weekend, but don't want to buy csc until after the movies this Sunday.

The one thing I like about bonus csc (aside from the obvious) it helps counteract the extra I have to spend with the exchange rate.
Also.. VESNALI!
ALSO... if anyone has a Spilled Bag of Diamonds they want to trade for the Priceless Diamond Buttons please see my trade. ;P

Not retroactive and apparently, I have to spend huge clumps of money to get anywhere. Hmmm, naaah... I'll just wait and spend as necessary.

Being someone who can't actually purchase CSC with real money, I'm actually excited about this. It may mean that more of these items will drop in price, and I can finally afford to buy them. :)
Woohoo!
Woohoo!

I bought CSC this morning, never got it because of a site crash, no paypal item, no CSC bonus, no loyalty points, no reward card stamp, and no one is working my ticket. For some reason, I'm a bit discouraged.

Lets keep the sP sink talk to the appropriate places, they haven't even been announced yet :P

I like this!
But. The talk about getting rid of currencies and replacing them with sp sinks makes me nervous. Not everyone has a shitload of cash to spend in place of certain currencies, just saying :) We're not all multi-billionaires.

This is great, I like the idea of being able to choose what items I want, as opposed to getting every item (as in the past) that was rewarded for filling up the card.
I'm confused, however, about the talk of sP sink, what is that?
Also, what currencies will be "gotten rid of?" I hope that doesn't refer to things such as points earned from events a couple yrs ago. I still have points from the last reading drive as well as Epicon and the Masquerade plot (both from 2013) which I hope to keep indefinitely. I'm not in a hurry to spend my points. All three of those are listed under Retired Currencies on my Vaults currency page. Please don't do away with those, they were hard earned and I'm slow in purchasing things.

PS can the shop either by sorted by price or the timeline corrected cause it's really bugging me how some are in order of timeline+price and others aren't :P

This change seems really good for csc buying people, yay. :D
Horrible for people like me who watch the shop search prices like a hawk for items to deflate. But that's okay. :'D
Just give me Vesnali and I'll forget about this in five seconds, okay.

THE SLOW LORIS
I NEED 10 OF THEM
But can I school you all real quick? They don't actually eat rice in the wild. They eat insects, nectar, tree gum, fruits, and vegetation. You only see them eating rice because people who illegally take them in rip out their teeth so they don't get bit (they're venomous) and after that, they can only eat soft food.
THE MORE YOU KNOW.

@Keith What about the forum title? Do we still get those as part of the rewards card or was that only an option on the past cards?

I LOVE THIS UPDATE! I'm a more casual CSC buyer due to my income, so I doubt that I will ever max out a rewards card in my lifetime. It's really great that I'll be able to get the items that I couldn't from past rewards cards now. Thank you, staff!

I like this, I think. :) All I know is that I don't have to get items I don't want. I've had no problems filling the cards so I've received every item that's come from the cards but now it's nice to know I don't always *have* to buy CSC *just* to fill the card and get the big item.
Also I don't know how I feel about the thought that some currencies are going away. Unless you mean the retired currencies will be deleted from the site, which is how I feel considering Amber's hint-hint-wink-wink sort of comment in another news post... :)
And now I'm rambling. ♥️

Ok so this doesn't make sense. With $100 i could get all the items from the reward card.
But if I just got all the stamps for $50, I won't be able to get all the items now, because I only got 41 LP and I need 60.
This just doesn't add up. I feel scammed out of items :/

LP Shop? Heck yeah!
If only my pockets weren't so empty though. Also, glad to see the Zippered Shark Buddy isn't retiring, alongside the other card items.

This is a great compromise for those who wanted the cards to roll over :). Glad to hear some currencies are getting axed soon too - but please give us a SHITLOAD of warning.

If all the stamps were earned on the previous card, and still more money was spent buying CSC, any chance the extra could roll over into points for the shop? :o

I love that you're bringing a shop for past items missed with the loyalty card. That's awesome!
One question though: if the item rewards weren't rolled over with each new card (i.e. the card reset) does this mean we don't get the points from previous cards retroactively?
