Cash Shop Loyalty Card
The Cash Shop Loyalty Card is the latest feature to reward users for their continued support. For every 1000 credits you purchase through Paypal, PBC/UGC, or Stripe, you'll receive a shiny new stamp on it. There are five very special stamps you can earn as you make your way through the card, each with a reward item! There's even another that will earn you an elusive forum title.
Your purchases towards each stamp don't have to be made all at once! As your ongoing total reaches a level, you'll receive your next stamp. There will be new cards released from time to time - complete with new stamps and prizes!
The Loyalty Card considers all CSC purchases from Thursday, 17 July, onward as qualifying purchases.
In the spirit of moving forward with the Loyalty Cards, Bobblehead Collections will retire in one week. Cash Shop purchases made after Sunday, 27 July, will no longer come with a complimentary bobblehead. We hope you’ve had a chance to collect them all!

Figures, I just bought (& spent) CSC today. Darn!
You actually can trade cash items on Neopets too, aside from a very small selection that you can't access unless your account is above a certain age.
And @Georgie, there are 10 stamps, so $100. However, bonus CSC seems to count as well because I just bought 6k in total with the $50 option, and it gave me 6 stamps.

Hmm... Even if they switch it to spending CSC rather than buying CSC, someone has to have bought the CSC, so they still get the dollars, right..
For once, let's stop thinking users must have every single thing, and instead respect that, especially if you're a free-to-play user, there are users who spend money on Subeta, as they are what keeps the site alive. This is to reward them. Respect them, you wouldn't have any cute pets to write stories for or wardrobe to collect doll clothes in if it wasn't for them.
Guys, Subeta doesn't have to give us a prize for buying CSC. It's a perk, it's a loyalty program, and it's a great gesture, but it's not an entitlement. The items are great, the card is adorable, and they're reasonable benchmarks.
This is pretty awesome! I actually had planned on signing up for the monthly sign up when I start my new job next month, so woot for extra incentive.
This is true Speiro...but lets take a look at how much those items sell for. I mean, for one item...they might as well still be off limits most of the time. I agree though, that is a valid point. If you save and save and save you can get ONE of those items from a user shop...you just have to do it EVERY single time and for one item at a time. You know any item bought with real cash is NOT going to be sold for even a slightly expensive amount.
I'm not saying do not do this at all, the site does need to make money. I'm just saying...don't take the same route as neo by making all the really desirable items for CSC and the rest for sP. It builds a social class and it reminds other of just what they could never afford. Again.

Ehh.. Being one of those people that can hardly afford to pay my bills, I certainly don't have the luxury of spending real money on here currently. I'm a little irritated with this, mainly because this is coming immediately after the -first- event with a designated cash-to-participate section. I understand that you guys are trying to bring in some funds, but yeesh. It's looking more and more like Neopets with all the paid items, and it just solidifies that feeling of segregation all the more. Do not want.
You guys. Seriously... I'm really not liking how this is progressing, and I'm with the other people here saying that this is just for people with money to throw around wherever. Now, I've bought my fair share of subeta cash, and I don't plan to stop supporting anytime soon, but these are hard times for a lot of people, so please, don't become neopets. This is EXACTLY the reason why I stopped playing. You had to spend real money to /ever/ get anything good. Sure, you could play for free, but only the people with tons and tons of money to spend ever had anything cool, while the rest of us got junk and items of sub-par quality. Aren't we already divided enough with CW's? I appreciate the idea of having rewards for people who support, but at the same time MAKE IT RETROACTIVE or something, PLEASE.
Re: The Neopets comparisons:
On Neopets, cash items are locked to your account. If you want them, you have to spend RL money to get them. That excludes users.
On Subeta, these you can sell and trade these items all you want, so you can just buy them with sP. That's not at all the same thing.

This is so awesome considering I just bought $100.00 worth of CSC in the last 24 hours. :D So stoked and LOVE the items! :heart:
Beautiful art on the card! Now I really want to see a canon height chart on the pets. This is too interesting!
I agree with Ferinsy I spent money on that place for the so called better account and you are correct that place went downhill fast because it was putting real cash before the users,Now the question is Is subeta going to go the same way.
I stand by what I said it is another way to get you to spend cash.

Yeah, no thank you. Some people actually have buy CSC with sP due real life responsibilities which take priority over pixels. If this system was for spending CSC instead of buying CSC, I wouldn't mind so much. Thumbs down to you, Subeta.
Thank you so much for your continued loyalty!
Please accept a hug from this pug on our behalf.
Too cute.
This will be interesting to see what these items will be costing in the long run.

I agree with others. Most people in this day don't have any money to spend on "fake" items. I mean, we can barely afford real food. Subeta has been awesome because of how you can feel like an equal while being "poor" in the real world. But, like Neo and other petsites...this is what started the social classing. Those who have money can afford to buy everything and those who can't are left with the scraps.
It isn't fun to come on and see ALL OF THE WONDERFULLY NEW THINGS....that you can never afford. I mean, I am all for supporting the site and when I can afford to, I plan on buying some CSC to get some of these cool things but...but don't be like neo.
Don't focus on making everything for RL cash and forget about those who could never afford to spend even a dollar on something besides bills and food for their family. It isn't fun, equal or kind. It just makes those who are poor feel even more left out than before.
Just, don't forget about the little guys, ya know? Have just as many, if not MORE free items for the site. With Neo, anything you want costs NC...it isn't fun to see all the dressed up pets while yours gets the scraps they put out for free. It only furthers the idea in this society that if you don't have money, you are not an equal. From what I have seen from the users and the staff I have talked to...that is not what this site is about.
I wouldn't want to see all these fantastic people leaving because the wonderful world they found where they feel like they can participate...is taken away from them by the owners because of monetary greed. That's not what this is about.

Aw man, I would be completely cool with this as a non-CSC buyer, but there's a squishy wearable baby griffin involved ;-;
I got the pug but wanted the kitty leggings. Beggars can't be choosers I suppose. This should be cool. :)
People complained that they wanted this and now that it's here, they're bitching even more.
Guys, please just be satisfied and hush. <3

I think I just bought some yesterday or Friday.
I know this is a business and members have to know that money has to come from somewhere.
This is an interesting idea for us who spend money on the site. Thanks.

So one has to spend 100 dollars to finish a card? @.@ wow. I hope they take their time retiring.
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum.......
And I don't think It's funny
to see us fade away

Oh yeah the buffs thing, I don't know about cash shop specific buffs but I remember buffs from during the masquerade. Please continue using it, the icons were cute
now i think i'm talking about completely unrelated things but buffs could be like maybe random events that raises your chances of getting things by n % for n hours. like more chances of getting rarer items on the vending machines. or something. that'd be fun

Oh I love this!! The rewards are adorable and omg how cute is the art on that card? :heart:

So the collections themselves are retiring, not just the bobbleheads, right? As in we won't be able to redeem them for prizes anymore?
What about every 1000 (or a little more) credits spent? It's a little difficult for me to buy CSC :/

I like this. Too bad for the thousands of CSC I've already purchased. Even with those purchases, I've gotten the same 5 bobble heads every time so I never completed the collection. Oh well.
This is great and thanks for going back a bit as I just bought some a few days ago which got me the stamps! :)
well that sucks balls for anyone that buys CSC with sP.
oh well, maybe it'll help bring the price down.

Aww the card and stamps look so cute! And I love the bonus items. Nice to see this feature active at last!
Nice add. Love the items.
But I think there's too much foccus on CSC lately. I know it's important, just be careful and also keep doing that really great job with non-CSC events, games and things.
Subeta is kinda starting a course took by a rival petsite, but that petsite lost thousands of users doing that.
