Gold Bonus for Higher Purchase Amount.

[magepker]

It's come to my attention that not many people know about the HIGH Gold Bonuses you get for making bulk purchases, heres an email i got from CJ after asking him about making bulk purchases quickly.

These bonuses are ON TOP of the gold you get for the initial purchase...


We have a special program for people who want to purchase larger gold quantities with a steep bonus. Apple won't let us sell larger packages, but we are willing to increase bonuses for players if they're willing to commit to the following amounts:

$500 in a month = 100% bonus
$1,000 in a month = 200% bonus
$2,000 in a month = 300% bonus
$5,000 in a month = 300% bonus plus one crate item of your choice
$10,000 in a month = 300% bonus plus one event item that you missed out on. You must have received the previous item in the tier for that to happen. (i.e. if you want the 10th item you'd need to have acquired the 9th already.)

Only one bonus can be obtained per month, and it can only be obtained once per month. You have to buy $100 packages to get to your bonus amount, as we calculate the bonus gold based on the assumption that you're already receiving the 50% bonus from buying $100 packages. So if you purchase $750 in a month, you will only get the 100% bonus applied to $500 of that. If you purchase $4,000 in a month you will get the 300% bonus applied to $2,000 of that. To clarify, the exact amounts of gold you receive for reaching each tier are outlined below:


$500 = 2500g.
$1000 = 15000g.
$2000 = 50,000g.
$5000 = 125,000g.
$10000 = 250,000g.

These restrictions are in place for record-keeping purposes and we may loosen them at a later date. Let me know if you're interested or have any other questions.

Regards,

So yea... The bonuses are pretty good >_< The downside is... You have to buy the $100 packages a crap load of time if you wanna spend $10,000

[War Priest]

Think CJ had some typo's. $200 = 3,000g. And says $500 = 2,500g. :p

[magepker]

i'll let him know lol.

thats cool though, $200 = 6,000 gold, thats pretty good.

[Fifth Reich]

WTH. So you are expecting us to spend $10,000 in 30 days on an iOS game?

[magepker]

WTH. So you are expecting us to spend $10,000 in 30 days on an iOS game?

Of course they aren't expecting it, but if you end up doing so you get a nice bonus.... you get a nice bonus for spending just $200.. better then nothing IMO.

Im surprised this isnt public knowledge... since you have to email support for the bonus i wonder how many people spent the $ and didn't get the extra bonus.

[War Priest]

You know what I think is pathetic, is when you spend $10,000 in a month they REQUIRE you to have at least 9 of the event items to get the 10th for free. I mean, it's 10K, they should get it even if they are at 1. :rolleyes:

Yea i thought the same thing, they should give you a special unit with 1000a\d and permanent 0% casualty rate on all units + 10% bonus att\def on all units.... they should be REALLY happy to have one person willing to pay that much $ on the game in a month.

[Thunder Child]

There's a bonus for spending $200? What is it? How do I appy for it?

[magepker]

There's a bonus for spending $200? What is it? How do I appy for it?

you have to spend it within a 1 month period and have to email them for it.. But most likely it'd have to be the current month we're in i'm not sure if they'll go back to prior months and apply a bonus for you... But who knows, email them and see what they say!

according to WP its a bonus 3000gold

edit: misunderstanding.

What? No I didn't say that! I said CJ had a typo. In the store, $200 equals 3,000 gold. But according to his email, $500 equals only 2,500 gold.

$99.99 = 1,500
$99.99 = 1,500
------------------
3,000 gold.

Ohhhh, i misunderstood. but in his email theres no typo, he's saying if you spend $500 in a month they'd give you an additional 2500gold for a total of 10,000 gold for $500

Oh, additional. I thought that was the total. Nevermind...

[magepker]

sorry to burst your bubble TC but it was a misunderstanding with me and WP but you can always try and see what they say.

I think the email is support@funzio.com

[Thunder Child]

Email address, guys??

[War Priest]

TC, you only get the bonuses when you commit to this:

Just drop 10g to get it. That's chump change for a high roller like you.

[Lordsloss]

What if I spend $100,000 in a month? I was just wondering what to do with this extra money I had lying around...:rolleyes:

[bigflan]

They should have a event where they award ME with 2 event prizes of my choice where I have gotten 9 then I can take the silent drifter and the tiger

[bigflan]

Just drop 10g to get it. That's chump change for a high roller like you.???

It's not chump change to me its NOTHING to me but I like to save money

[Q Raider]

TC, you only get the bonuses when you commit to this:

Just to clarify this. You do not have to commit to spending this amount of money each month to receive these bonuses.

You just have to make a minimum of five of the highest value purchases currently sold via I-tunes in a given month to apply for the bonus.

Those purchases made during the 20% sales also count towards the count.

[War Priest]

I know, I was just wording it the way CJ did.

[CAPT.GIN]

???

It's not chump change to me its NOTHING to me but I like to save money




Yea rite flan... U still get a allowance lol...

The email does say " willing to commit". So it looks like you need to comit to 500, 1000, etc..... per month. Just like a car or mortgage payment.
That last part is suppose to be sarcastic.

Nope.
There is no committment to spend a specific amount per month (will dig up the email reply as I have asked that question).

The criteria is that there is a minimum of five purchases of the maximum available I-tunes purchase ($100 normally, $80 during a sale) made in a specific month.

Thanks Q for the clarification on that. Is this something new? For those of us who make multiple purchases a month that can sometimes add up to $100s of dollars, this would have been nice to know.

And thanks Mage for making this thread.

[Q Raider]

I think it has been around for a long time Mackdaddy.

I asked the question out of curiosity after reading some old threads sitting in the quiet backwaters of the forum.

[Kiss Of Death]

Hi Q Raider, I have an even more current one because I got into an argument with Funzio over it.

It is currently GAME specific... so if you buy 5 vaults (which is the only tracking code they use) and it is a minimum of $100 US transaction... all 1500 vaults are via iTunes reports support get except during sales... you start to qualify...

If you buy 3 vaults In KA and 3 in MW and 4 in CC you don't qualify.... but one person buying only 5 in ONE game does... you can imagine why this is where I might sit if you know me because I went on the premise if I spend $1000 i.e. 10 vaults in a month I get the 150% bonus not the 50% bonus. Not so... so my $1000 was not valued compared to someone else $500.

As a result they told me they were having a meeting to review this process that day and now a recent public statement about it was made... which I haven't seen by the way if someone can point me to the thread.

Basically you spend buy 5-9 vaults ($500-900 US) your account gets 2500 extra gold/gems next month.

The bonus ONLY applies to the first $500 (5 vaults)

If you spend 10-19 vaults you get the extra ONLY on the first $1000 (10 vaults) and so on.

I was furious because I have spent 1k this month before i found that out across mostly KA and MW in Vaults... not inc smaller purchase.

Now I have to spend $200 more just to make sure both KA and MW have at least 5 vaults each and the surplus is wasted... so spending well over 1k so I can get the 500 bonus in two games... Does not encourage me to bother with more than one game any more. And I will never bother spending more than $500 on one game is i do the rest can go jump for another month!

I know the discussions they were having were to decide if they would do across platforms after I gave them a serving about ripping off players who spend 2-3 times the amount of others but spread it on all three games being less valuable to them than a player spending less money on just one game.

EDIT: I did get my 2500 extra in MW this Month and had only bought 2 vaults in KA last month as well, so my expectation was 1000 gems was due me... I have had to step away from that as I can't be bothered fighting anymore. I'll fight by spending less from now on (No not going to huff and puff and not spend, I love the games but do not feel their customer value system supports real spending anymore).

EDIT 2: I have been told very clearly they will not include the discounted sales vaults the in the calculation as they don't track them under $100.... so again... you are better off only buying full vaults if you intend to invest $500 in one game than waiting for cheaper ones... however if you are NOT spending $500 in a single game in a single month wait for sales and buy 2 or 3 and bank them like Bronny!

[Crazy Canuck]

Ohhhh, i misunderstood. but in his email theres no typo, he's saying if you spend $500 in a month they'd give you an additional 2500gold for a total of 10,000 gold for $500Well there is a typo somewhere in there since it say in top part you get a 100% bonus on $500 then in bottom part it was $500=2500 gold

$500 spent = 7500 gold so either the bonus is suppose to be 33% not 100% or he made a mistake and typed 2500 instead of 7500

[Crazy Canuck]

Well this is all news to me but I hope they still will award this a month later cause I'm pretty sure I spent $500 on KA durning the 1st top 500/50 event to get the guardian elemental.

Will be pissed if I can't get the bonus anymore cuase I was unaware of it at the time

[Kiss Of Death]

Well there is a typo somewhere in there since it say in top part you get a 100% bonus on $500 then in bottom part it was $500=2500 gold

$500 spent = 7500 gold so either the bonus is suppose to be 33% not 100% or he made a mistake and typed 2500 instead of 7500

No you already get 50% when you get the vault as it says in purcahse screen the bonus is INCREASED to 100% so another 500 gold/gems per vault on only the first 5 vaults = 2500 bonus next month

so the 200% means an extra 150% per vault x10... so 1500x10 = 15,000 bonus... his maths is not wrong on the chart

[JMC]

What? No I didn't say that! I said CJ had a typo. In the store, $200 equals 3,000 gold. But according to his email, $500 equals only 2,500 gold.

$99.99 = 1,500
$99.99 = 1,500
------------------
3,000 gold.

Haha

Well it's late and i completely ignored the other 3 pages so i don't know if someone else already explained this to you.

He is only showing the bonus gold you get there.

$500 with no bonus = 5000 gold
$500 with a 100% bonus = 10000 gold
Now there is already a 50% bonus on buying vaults of gold so $500 would already get you 7500 gold.

10000-7500 = 2500 gold.

Same goes for the other values he listed there.

[mickymacirl]

Interesting, looking back on my itunes account I have spent more than 500 dollars on MW a month, mainly because I pay in euros as well, is the exchange rate taken into account anyone know?

[Zoltarov]

Interesting, looking back on my itunes account I have spent more than 500 dollars on MW a month, mainly because I pay in euros as well, is the exchange rate taken into account anyone know?

How do you think exchange rate is relevant? I think this bonus is just based on numbers vaults of gold you have bought. In other words the number of maximum purchases.
For me this bonus info is also new. I have to check my bank account, but i think i should qualify for this month.
Thanks for sharing.

However I think they should automate this process. Sending emails is not very modern.

[ckos]

I just sent in a ticket. Last month, I spent greater than $500.00. We'll see if I get the bonus.

Would have been nice of Funzio to make this type of incentive more public and easy to find for us.

[Q Raider]

Interesting, looking back on my itunes account I have spent more than 500 dollars on MW a month, mainly because I pay in euros as well, is the exchange rate taken into account anyone know?

It is entirely based on you making five of the top available purchases Micky.

K.O.D. I too would be pretty miffed at being treated as you have been with regard to those cross game purchases. I would have thought that the criteria would have been purely on number of purchases, not as they are considering it.

[Miner]

Well there is a typo somewhere in there since it say in top part you get a 100% bonus on $500 then in bottom part it was $500=2500 gold

$500 spent = 7500 gold so either the bonus is suppose to be 33% not 100% or he made a mistake and typed 2500 instead of 7500

You already get a 50% bonus when you buy the vault. So, you get 1,000 gold plus 50% bonus to make it 1,500. If you buy 5 of those in a month, it sounds like they up the bonus to 100% so you get an ADDITIONAL 500 bars of gold per vault, or 2,500 bonus bars.

I emailed to confirm (and collect my bonus).

[Zoltarov]

I checked my buyings and was shocked. Bought 17 vaults last 4 weeks. I think i need to slow down. Send email to support. Waiting for reaction and bonus gold.

[Mackdaddy]

It creeps up on you doesn't it! Blind spending, the developers, not just in MW but in all these app type games love it! Pretty easy to sit in your living room and hit the BUY button. Before you know it your out a grand.
I was shocked reviewing my last two months of spending.

Hope you get your bonus Zolt.

[War Priest]

I would have done the $500 thing with them, but honestly, I didn't want Funzio to have my card info. :p

Besides, when I made my purchases, they were for like $100-200 here and there.

[DILL3NGER]

Are you lot fecking mental? Why are you spending this amount of cash on a fecking IOS? Give it to charity if you have too much or better still give it to me. I'll go piss it up a wall and come back on here and tell you all about it.

What outcome? Seriously its a farming game against faceless no ones. Anyone who spends that amount of cash on this game needs their head read.

[War Priest]

You know why I don't give to charity? Because if you notice all those commercials and stuff when you "donate now" they send you things like t-shirts or stuffed animals. So some of our money is going into things like that.

Such a waste...

Like ASPCA, you get a jacket and stuff. Send me the dog, and I'll take care of it. :)

[magepker]

i don't farm, that's boring, i don't care about my economy, i just wanna be stronger then the "other guy". As i've progressed in this game i've come to the conclusion that farming is retarded...

Let me explain, why farm? You're farming to raise your IPH to eventually be able to buy stronger units, screw that, attack people, steal there money and buy the unit's you're gonna buy anyway and screw the waiting! The economy can come later on.

And for the people who say that the "whale zone" makes it harder, screw them, i'll be the whale :eek:

I keep my money cause I do donate but I keep it for no reason

Thanks for sharing.

However I think they should automate this process. Sending emails is not very modern.

The history of it was they privately decided to award some regular spenders and encourage the to keep up regular spending but of course... players talk and so it sort of became word of mouth only... as more and more became aware it has recently esculated... as CJ says... they have " agreed at this stage to commit to this" as it was never actually a formal offer to everyone... it has become so well known now with teh thread being posted by a player, that it has sort of become an issue that need formal deciding on by Funzio... this thread only boosts that further... the issue t faced by them was do they actually formalise it as a proper offer for any who ask for it... will it generate more spending or not if they do... will it devalue the gold/gem item costs if it does become too common and so on... it's not an easy business decision to make for something they never intended for us to all know about. It is consequently not automated because it is not official and I just hope now its come out for all to read about it's not scrapped to protect the gold value units in play by players... and also only forum members who actually look for this in the forum will ever know unless its told to them by word of mouth if this thread goes...

Anyway hope this helps some of you understand that this is a unofficial offer, meant to be for a restricted few via word of mouth that has now gone full blown public and could result in its cancellation if it is found to devalue spending or gold unit values.

Personally I'd ask the poster of the thread to delete it, let it rest with the dozens who've read it to just PM their friends about it like it used to be to protect its existence... that's how I found out (you know who you are when I say thank you) and that's how I'd like to share it with players who promote gold spending rather than all the *****ing and moaning people out there who now have more ammo to start picking this thing apart and ruining it for the rest of us.

Do you get a medal for being a 'Whale'?

[bigflan]

No one really cares kod cause those are ridiculous amounts and very few can pay that every month some may do it 1 every 3 months but either way no one will spend $10 000 to get a event item there pixels you spend your money and don't blame it on the free players

[magepker]

Do you get a medal for being a 'Whale'?

You didn't know?

In all seriousness, i'd never spend $10,000 on ANY game. Maybe $500... But not $10,000 :rolleyes:

[bobbolo49]

Are the bonuses calculated automatically and just credited to your account? At what point each month is this done

Dont say never. No one can predict the future. I donate much but i also enjoy this game and have bought more gold than i ever thought i would.

Charity's are like Dogmatic faith systems.. about control and money generation for the few with a small % ending up in the coffers of the poor and needy after CEO costs, church or temple running costs, wages for the 'volunteers', advertising... I am not belittling the real volunteers and their personal faith in their deities but in the operational function of an organised religion or charity group... and you know what... I say this because I have had in my career quite a number of financial dealings securing funds for churches, foundations, and various groups and have had privy to classified documents. So don't you dare start on me if you're feeling miffed by my comments. I do not deny the amazing hard sacrifices of the REAL followers at the bottom of these pyramid schemes just the distribution of real money to its intended cause in these groups.

You want charity? walk down to your local slum area and hand out real food to people YOU bought with the money.. THAT is real charity. Give away your things you don't need to women protection centers for women with children who have had to flee abusive homes and leave everything behind to protect their kids and themselves from abuse..

There is always 100 moral high horses and yours or mine is not the only, the best or effective one. I spend my money how I like after paying all the special needs costs of having two children with aspergers who need private schooling and home schooling because they can't work with other kids, an Autistic 3 year old (Happy birthday today - he like the can of beans I gave him as his only present after spending all our money on virtual rubbish) and all our other costs. I still find time to do fee free consulting work for people I feel can't afford help they truly need any other way and more. I will not have anyone attack me or others about spending when they have no possible way to know anything at all about any of us and what we do in our respective scales for other people we meet in our lives.

You have a very narrow view... I also do loans up to 20 million... but you know... 99% of people only need $10,000 to $1,000,000. But hey lets f every one over who is spending $500 a few times a year or even once off from getting any bonus because you're all stuck with your head up your arses looking at the top end of this deal and carrying on about it. Moron.

PS still love you flan you just always look at the grand attention seeking end of things... I bet there are some young trust fund and OC kids out there doing that on games... I mean, it's only a weeks pocket money for them

You have a very narrow view... I also do loans up to 20 million... but you know... 99% of people only need $10,000 to $1,000,000. But hey lets f every one over who is spending $500 a few times a year or even once off from getting any bonus because you're all stuck with your head up your arses looking at the top end of this deal and carrying on about it. Moron.

PS still love you flan you just always look at the grand attention seeking end of things... I bet there are some young trust fund and OC kids out there doing that on games... I mean, it's only a weeks pocket money for them

We know there are very few people doing that and since people know about it it will bring in more customers wohooooo I don't care

[Copenhagen]

@KoD - nice OC reference from the land down under. You go girl!

[Kiss Of Death]

Hey KoD!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to your kid.................Today is also Ryan5100's, sweet 16th Birthday........................

Are you lot fecking mental? Why are you spending this amount of cash on a fecking IOS? Give it to charity if you have too much or better still give it to me. I'll go piss it up a wall and come back on here and tell you all about it.

Every single pay cheque I receive, I have a charitable contribution deducted automatically. The money I spend here IS my "piss it up a wall" budget.

Everyone spends/wastes money in some form or another, the amount is just relative to one's income. Isin't it?

[Ryans67]

CCMark brought it to my attention when he dropped a hint during the AMA. I emailed support about it, as per Marks direction, and have yet to hear a reply. People shouldn't be surprised that it exists, but they should be dissapointed that it's not automatically delivered. At first I thought maybe it was kind of secretive because support would require direct payment to cut out the 30% that goes to Apple. Such direct payment would violate Apples TOS, so it would make sense it's a secret.

In term's of the bonus, the $500 level isn't enough to justify the hassle, especially with two devices or games. Your better off just waiting for a gold sale, or buying discounted itunes cards.

[ckos]

Oh DILL3NGER, I forgot to mention that I also do volunteer work at various shelters, as my time provides. So the few dollars that I do piss away on an IOS game is my charitable donation to ME.

I had similar words once if you can instead imagine it taking up 4000 characters... After I sent him a PM outlining a few things he apologised in a PM to me about what he had said... he's still around and much better at participating and helping than lashing out now... we just have to help find Dill3nger a nice rich trust fund partner to help him find his way

[Dr. Dengus]

You know why I don't give to charity? Because if you notice all those commercials and stuff when you "donate now" they send you things like t-shirts or stuffed animals. So some of our money is going into things like that.

Such a waste...

Like ASPCA, you get a jacket and stuff. Send me the dog, and I'll take care of it. :)

Lol. Speaking of the SPCA, they are in a bit of trouble now concerning how they handle their money.



Of the $14 million raised in 2010, SPCA International reports it spent less than 0.5% -- about $60,000 -- in small cash grants to animal shelters across the United States. It also said it spent about $450,000 -- about 3% of the total raised in 2010 -- to bring back animals from Iraq and Afghanistan as part of its "Baghdad Pups" program.


On its website and its tax filings, SPCA International describes "Baghdad Pups" as a program that "helps U.S. troops safely transport home the companion animals they befriend in the war zone."


Yet the charity admitted that only 26 of the nearly 500 animals transported to the United States from Iraq and Afghanistan were actually service animals. The rest were stray animals, said Stephanie Scott, the charity's communications director.

And those 26 service animals were not attached to military K-9 units but belonged to Reed Inc., a private contractor that built roads in Iraq and Afghanistan.


can you say shady? lol.

Who would have thought this thread would turn into a debate over the amount of money one can spend on entertainment before it because unethical? To each his own... I'm sure Funzio/Gree make all kinds of charitable contributions in our names ;)

[Selfproclaimed]

It's one thing to spend some money on the game but when your over $10,000 a month. That's just insane. To each their own, but I personally could find 10,000 different ways to spend that type of income on.

This.

My charitable remark wasn't meant to be taken literally its just that this game isn't that bigga deal to be spending that sort of cash on. What will happen when Funzio turn off the servers? because, by the way, they will when its run its course. What will you have to show for it? Sweet FA, thats what.

By all means carry on spunking money on a game if you have the desposable income to improve some 'stats' but always remember.


'Its just a game'

[JMC]

Yeah, always thought it was pretty ridiculous to purchase a virtual airplane for $65.

I'd rather go buy a game or two for my PS3, or go out and have some fun. If you've got the money to throw away on this game, as well as all other hobbies at the same time, than good for you. But many people don't and they choose to spend on the virtual units instead.

[Fl@sh]

I checked my buyings and was shocked. Bought 17 vaults last 4 weeks. I think i need to slow down. Send email to support. Waiting for reaction and bonus gold.

I'm at 11, but 5 of those came during the sale... guess I need to slow down as well.

[mickymacirl]

Yep I've just done the same and reviewed my account over the last few months and by my calculations I deserve an extra 10k gold... they better be giving these amounts retrospectively or I'm gonna be pissed.

So anybody get a reply on the current status of CJ's bonus gold offer?

Nope. I sent my iTunes statement in.

[Crazy Canuck]

I sent in a ticket 3 days ago about getting the bonus on KA for what I spent on gems but still no word back.

[Zoltarov]

So anybody get a reply on the current status of CJ's bonus gold offer?

I received a reply 2 days ago that my request is currently being reviewed by the staff.

[Kode]

I also got an email saying its under review but its been 5 days and nothing else back yet.

Got to love the communications.

[mickymacirl]

Still haven't even gotten a response to my ticket yet - I'm 100% sure CJ is on holidays :P

[leo23]

Sent the ticket 4 days ago, no respond at all from support. PMed to both CCMark n CJ, we will see how it goes.

so micky, in 1 30\31 day span you spent over $500?

whoever said it works if you buy 5 1500 gold packages during a gold sale is wrong, that's only $400.

[mickymacirl]

Na not during gold sales usually, usually a few a week.

Still should equal the 500 or better amounts. It doesn't say you must buy it all together in one go, just that it must be the vault amounts equaling or bettering it over a month to qualify for a bonus.

i didnt say you had to buy it in one go.... i asked if you bought more then $500 in a 1 month period >_< the 2nd part of my post was to whoever said you'd qualify if you buy 5 1500 gold packs during a gold sale.

[Crime City Mark]

So, let me clear a few things up.

I was the one who came up with bonus plan back in the day when I was the support manager (and also the only support person at the company). I saw that a few of our players were spending a good deal of cash, and I felt that they weren't getting enough for their contribution.

Apple only lets us go so far, so we added this "after-market" discount, and let it trickle out via word of mouth. Why word of mouth? At the time I was the only person doing this, and I was afraid that it would get out of hand and generate more work than I could handle. I knew people would violate my "don't talk about it" rule, and kind of actually planned against it.

It's kind of a nightmare of bookkeeping, but now we have a bit more bandwidth to handle this. Understand that these go in the same queues as people having issues with their accounts, so there will be some delay while we try and fix people with bugs and stuff.

Also, we factor in the 50% you get from the $100 package. So if we say a 200% bonus, it's a 150% bonus on top of the 50% you're already getting.

Also, we require the $100 packages because that standardizes the 50% bonus. Doing it with any size package gets a bit too math-y.

Oh, and just to join in, I donate to some charities I really enjoy every month. I find it rewarding.

[Boom]

We need some proof about the charities thing..

[mickymacirl]

Balls to that:

Funzio: "I apologize but we cannot apply the bonus retroactively."

You aren't getting any money off me again.

You quit buying too? Wow they are losing some good customers. JP, you, and myself all used to buy a lot of gold. Not anymore...

[bigflan]

Well WP expect the leaderboard event then

[magepker]

For 1 who stops buying gold theres probably 10 more who just started buying gold...

Funzio used to make $5mil a month on sales..... a few people stopping... i don't think they care honestly.

What, you want a couple pictures of the kids I sponsor or something?

If they are seriously not going to give the bonus for passed purchases when CCM just said "I saw that a few of our players were spending a good deal of cash, and I felt that they weren't getting enough for their contribution" and support turn around and send me that message 20 seconds later.. head doesn't know what the mouth is doing.

[Boom]

Idk........

[War Priest]

I still have 22K gold on hand. But that is from purchases over a month ago when I stopped buying.

PM CCM directly maybe he can do something?

I don't think it's that you stopped buying.... you already bought all you needed >_>

[Boom]

Yeah he can give gold too

Well the items are good the bonuses suck like +1 respect though modern war it would have to be top 500 and 50

[War Priest]

What, you want a couple pictures of the kids I sponsor or something?

You donate to the childfund?

[Boom]

Actually there was a top 50 one that increased ur mafia atk by 10% opposite of compo building but u can't raid/rob it either

[mickymacirl]

IF I had of been informed of the bonus I'd have just as much as WP. PMing CCM doesn't get an answer.

[Boom]

Then just tell him right now. He's on

[magepker]

IF I had of been informed of the bonus I'd have just as much as WP. PMing CCM doesn't get an answer.

I PM'ed him 4 times before getting an answer, PM him your ticket number a few times, he must get 100s of pms daily.. also post on his threads or something.

I think we are all forgetting something here, WE ARE THE CUSTOMERS. We shouldn't have to be sending messages to everyone to get a bonus only select people have been able to take advantage of.

[Copenhagen]

2nd that. I have not received a response yet, but assume it will be the same as Micky's. With that, I'm done spending until I receive retroactive bonuses that were discretionarily provided to others.

Why wouldn't they do this? It is ingame monopoly gold for purchasing fake artillery. I spent real dough to win a fake tank that the boost still doesn't work on.

Pull your collective heads out of your self-defeating greedy a$$! Making a profit is not greed, screwing your existing customers because you have others lining up is greed, and is unsustainable. I have defended Funzio on this forum in the past, but this response is BS.

[Crazy Canuck]

Balls to that:

Funzio: "I apologize but we cannot apply the bonus retroactively."

You aren't getting any money off me again.I haven't even got a response yet but if I get same answer I'm done spending as well, all be it won't hurt them as much as some of the others that are quitting buying gold/gems

[Crazy Canuck]

Why wouldn't they do this? It is ingame monopoly gold for purchasing fake artillery. I spent real dough to win a fake tank that the boost still doesn't work.
Exactly!!! The gold cost them nothing to give out but the money they will lose from the gold spenders that will quit buying cuase they refuse to honor the bonus will cost them!

[Selfproclaimed]

Personally, I think bonus' should be applied to anything 100 and up in a months period. Even hat is a lot of money to bea spending on a mobile app game . And the amount of good for 100 really isn't that much..just my opinion... And the fact That I want some bonus,lol

[magepker]

I think we are all forgetting something here, WE ARE THE CUSTOMERS. We shouldn't have to be sending messages to everyone to get a bonus only select people have been able to take advantage of.

i think you should stop complaining actually.

If i didn't post this, you wouldn't of even known and would've been on your marry way and spending more $ probably. Be happy they even offer the bonus when they don't have to.

Like CCM said, it was something that wasn't made public anyway so why would they apply it retroactively?

It's like buying something in a store, next month it's on sale and then you go and complain that it's on sale and you should've been told it's going on sale and then want the difference in back...

Basically, You didn't know about the bonus before, so it doesn't apply. You know about it now, so it applies, if they decide to give you the retroactive gold back then that's good on them but they don't have to.

[Crime City Mark]

I think we are all forgetting something here, WE ARE THE CUSTOMERS. We shouldn't have to be sending messages to everyone to get a bonus only select people have been able to take advantage of.

This was, and still technically is, and invite-only program. This is not something that everyone is entitled to, but we are trying to expand to include as many people as possible.

The reason for the "no retroactive bonuses" is because people were trying to game the system, use multiple accounts, or make "well how about I spend $100 now and you count the $400 from last month" deals. This allows for a clean start across the board.

[mickymacirl]

I feel appalled that you accuse CUSTOMERS of yours, like me, of 'trying to game the system'. I've sent in my spend over the last few months, with a month by month purchase history. I'm not gaming anything thanks very much, how insulting can you be?

I'm sure there really are plenty of people trying to game the system, there always are.

It's ok. That's why a few of us forum members stopped supporting your weekly massages. :)

[Crazy Canuck]

I got a response that they won't give me the bonus for the $1000 I spent on KA last month but did credit me for the $500 I spent on MW this month.

Problem is the bonus gold they said they added to my MW account us not there!

As far as the KA bonus I'm furious I won't get any kind of bonus for that! Hey I understand I'm a few weeks late on asking for it since I only just found out but atleast give me half of the bonus I am owed. I would be happy with 7500 but getting nothing has me ready to quit spending on these games.

[magepker]

i think the GOOD i was trying to do by bringing this to light has done more damage then anticipated... i think some people are being ungrateful.

[mickymacirl]

Well deserved, wheres everyone else's bonus? I've bought about the same this month and last month. You are lucky Crazy Canuck ur this list now as well! :P

[mickymacirl]

i think the GOOD i was trying to do by bringing this to light has done more damage then anticipated... i think some people are being ungrateful.

OMG are you being serious? Come on man you are better than that.

[magepker]

OMG are you being serious? Come on man you are better than that.

Of course I'm serious, You didn't know about this before i posted it and now you think your entitled to retroactive gold. Would you have preferred to live in the dark? Because then you wouldn't know about this bonus they gave and have been much happier right now.

They do this bonus because they want to, not because they have to. So yes, you're being a tad ungrateful. If you spent enough THIS MONTH to be eligible for the bonus I'm sure they'll give you the bonus but why would they have to give you the bonus for last month when you didn't bring it to there attention? Oh yea that's because you didn't even know about it!

Support is flawed, they're hella slow, but one thing i've noticed they do right is that their responses are almost always correct.

[mickymacirl]

That's cool, believe what you will - Are you on the 'special' list for a reason magepker?

[magepker]

what special list?

i don't even qualify for any bonuses, i've never spent this much $ in a month on this game but i asked support out of curiosity and they responded with this.

You should've asked yourself before spending so much money because if you usually buy ANYTHING in bulk companies tend to give bonuses or deep discounts to bigger spenders, its common sense.

[mickymacirl]

The 'I get a extra bonus buying the same amount of gold as everyone else because I'm special' list

[magepker]

The 'I get a extra bonus buying the same amount of gold as everyone else because I'm special' list

i edited my post thinking this was what you were talking about.

[Crazy Canuck]

How am I lucky? All I got was an email SAYING they did credit my MW account yet it's not there.

I have always been very polite and nice in my ticket that I send in and least I they could do to for alittle good faith is to give something to me and everyone else for purchases made in the last 2 months this one time.

It's not like this will be new news to any big groups again like it was this time.

[mickymacirl]

Aren't you clever! Anyways, no more spending til this is sorted.

[magepker]

Think of it this way micky..... You're only eligible after you find out about the bonus, you just found out about the bonus so from now on your eligible. No back-payments :rolleyes:

You can't be eligible for something that at the time YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT.

Your store example had me laughing. Because I'm pretty sure every major store has a price guarantee within the return period, where they will refund the price difference if the item goes on sale afer you purchase.

I can't speak for every company, but I know that my company does everything in our power to keep the customer happy. If someone spends that kind of money, this should be a nonissue, and the bonus should be happily awarded.

[Crazy Canuck]

The Brick here in Canada has the policy that they will match any sale you find when you go to buy something or even up to a month after your purchase.

Uhm. i've never heard of ANY major store that would do that. I've worked for 3 major stores, Target, Toys R Us and Best buy. None of them will honor a sale price after you purchased the item (there are manager exceptions but they're not supposed to). All companies care about is the $ and if the $ is affected by a customer's distaste then MAYBE on rare occasions will they go out of there realm to satisfy a customer so i don't see what part of my post was funny.

but it's funny how you say at the start of your post "Every major company" Then go on to say "I can't speak for every company" might want to get your thoughts straight.

Also when there is a sale or discount program in place it is made available to all customers who CHOOSE to qualify. I'm just as interested in receiving the bonus as I am in understanding how those who received it were selected. I WAS a significant gold player.

[magepker]

Sigh, i'm done defending funzio, who cares anyway. Apparently people would be happier if they didn't offer this extra bonus at all.

Anyway... The flaw they had was not making this kind of thing public. People most likely would spend MORE money knowing that they'd be receiving extra.

[Corsair]

I agree with magepker, though he gave not the best analogy. A better one would be buying a $1000 airplane ticket, then when you get on the plane you find the guy next to you paid $200 for basically the same seat. You know you aren't going to get your $800 refund there. You paid what was asked and got what you paid for.

If it's invite only and you weren't invited, you don't qualify, by definition. It's like the AMEX black card (that is probably a better analogy yet).

Whether that's a good business practice is another question. I can see why people would be upset about it. I can also see how trying to apply it retroactively could turn into a cluster.

Uhm. i've never heard of ANY major store that would do that. I've worked for 3 major stores, Target, Toys R Us and Best buy. None of them will honor a sale price after you purchased the item (there are manager exceptions but they're not supposed to). Eh...my experience is different. Most of them will do this. Target and BB, Costco...trying to remember others...Anyway, they realized a long time ago that of they offer return for full refund, people could return at what they paid and re-purchase at the sale price so they made it official. Some tried to say if it is now on sale you will only get a sale price refund but that doesn't go over very well. Generally in retail if you put up enough fuss you'll get what you ask for.

Yea im not very good at analogies. i missed the part where CCM said it was invite-only and CJ didn't mention that to me... So with that being said why get in a tizzy about it?


But as canuck said he got the bonus by emailing support and he wasn't invited... so it's not an invite-only kinda thing.....

Whatever. how annoying. tried to shed some light and it turned into a "Complain that funzio isn't giving me more gold then i paid for" kinda thread.

None of them will honor a sale price after you purchased the item (there are manager exceptions but they're not supposed to). All companies care about is the $ and if the $ is affected by a customer's distaste then MAYBE on rare occasions will they go out of there realm to satisfy a customer so i don't see what part of my post was funny.

but it's funny how you say at the start of your post "Every major company" Then go on to say "I can't speak for every company" might want to get your thoughts straight. maybe not in the States but as I pointed out in my prior post there is major companies in Canada at least that do it

Well Canada is a nice country :rolleyes:

[Copenhagen]

What do you mean by selected? Only people who asked about it knew about it, CCM said that it's not something they tell someone unless asked about. it just so happens that i asked about it out of curiosity.

They aren't picking and choosing who gets an added bonus.

The point is that they didn't inform certain players, obviously. How do you ask for something that you don't realize is available? The are absolutely selectively providing a bonus to a limited group of players.

This is a competitive game, that free players and gold buyers at various levels all realize what the playing feild is. When a few get a massive discount opportunity like this it changes the dynamics of the game and creates distrust. This is a poor business decision if nothing else.

Btw, I had heard about it and even sent a ticket asking what it was and if I would qualify. Never got a response. Now that I see the breakdown, I most certainly qualify and am due around 15,000 gold.

Like i said in my previous post i didn't realize that CCM said this was an invite-only type of thing even though i was told by CJ...

I'm not even a big gold spender (just sporadic\moderate) I agree that it should've been public since making it public would have made more people spend more money to get the higher bonuses... but think of it this way also, if it was public how much more gold armies would be out there? There would be less fun in the game.

I understand why it wasn't made public and why it's invite-only (I'm sketchy on if it really is or not) Doesn't mean its fair though, but who say's it has to be fair?

i don't think it necessarily changes the dynamic of the game, it just makes a few more stronger players but that's the case in any game, there is always going to be someone stronger then you and that form of competition is what makes any game great... why keep playing if there's no competition?

If the game is not fair and the word gets out, they are sunk. If they don't make this right, I'll use my voice as will others.

Making it "right" means 1.) retroactive reimbursement of some sort and 2.) publishing the program for public participation or terminating it.

[Crazy Canuck]

I think the clear solution would be that they should have noticed certain players spending alot on there game and sent them a message in game saying to contact support about a bonus or something.

More then a few of the forum member sound like heavy gold spenders seems only strange obe of the mods on here wouldn't have sent them a pm telling them about this offer

what they should make public is the criteria to be eligible for an invite.

That's if its REALLY invite only.

I think the last thing you should do is threaten and make demands, that'll get you the least amount of response.

Like I said in an earlier post, I usually defend funzio. I have not threatened support, in fact I asked nicely 5 days ago about a credit or getting on the program on a go forward basis. Still no response...

My comment about it being problematic for them is a fact. They will lose current and future buyers if players are made aware of selective behind the scenes advantages.

[Crime City Mark]

How am I lucky? All I got was an email SAYING they did credit my MW account yet it's not there.

I'm looking at your admin logs and it looks like you were given 2,500g on your 186 619 883 account at 2:15pm today. If you're not seeing it, there is likely a bug.

[Crime City Mark]

Yup, a lot of you are right. It wasn't perfectly fair. Again, it was created by one person working with extremely limited resources.

Here are the original criteria:

Player had spent a lot of money in the game on one account.
Player had submitted a support ticket that required me looking up their account and realizing that they were a big spender.
Player was polite and reasonable in their interactions with Funzio.

It was a case-by-case reward to players that we felt were major contributors in multiple variations of the term. What I'm doing now, by giving this information out, is trying to open this up to more people. This is not a service that anyone is entitled to, though I can understand how you might feel that way.

If you're not seeing it, there is likely a bug.That is my account number and as I told AG I believe is the one responding to my ticket if it was issued I am not seeing it on my end. My gold balance still shows 1635 right now on my end. Was 1785 when he 1st emailed me.

If the gold was added and I'm only not seeing it cause of a bug then do you know how to fix it so it will show on my end?

[JMC]

You guys complaining, think about it this way.

Everyone that was offered this deal was a big spender. They all likely spent thousands or tens of thousands in months past before being offered this special deal and like you were probably not given the bonus gold for their past purchases. So they did not receive this bonus until they found out about it. You guys found out about it now, and now you can all make use of this bonus after knowing about it, same as they did.

Why were you guys not informed? Like CCM said above, they are not just tracking all your accounts. You've got to have been in contact with support and have had them checking your account to even realize how much you've spent. Now you can just ask and for this month and any month after, no doubt you'll get the bonuses you're looking for.

Try it now. Maybe it took this time.

[Jp lfs]

All due respect CCMark, but this is a problem that has a solution that costs you ZERO real dollars, yet could potentially make you inestimable money in the future. On the other hand, refusing to solve it the easy way (by giving away a relatively small amount of free gold to a limited number of forum members) could cost you a massive amount of negative feedback and money in the future. You have always seemed reasonable in the past, and the choice in this case seems obvious to me.

I admit, I am one who is looking to benefit, but I am also hoping to avoid a mass breakdown of the game and forum from unnecessary negativity.

Thank you for your time.

[Crazy Canuck]

Try it now. Maybe it took this time.It's there now! Thank you very much CCM!

[Crime City Mark]

I've taken your feedback and passed it on to the current Support Manager. I have a meeting with them tomorrow to discuss potential actions that can be taken in regards to this. That's about all I can say right now.

[Vballmadam]

I'm sorry but i. Have been in management for 2 very large upscale stores and we had the policy the customer is always right. We matched prices any time they could prove it by a receipt.

I think everyone who qualifies should be reimbursed. How does it hurt Gree? The opposite is true, you garner more business because of the integrity of the company.

Gree man up and correct this injustice!

[SeqWins]

I love this game but as months go by I don't see a future to it and it sucks.

I submitted a ticket and 4-5 days they very politely replied and credited my account the bonus gold this evening. I'm glad this thread was posted so I knew about it.

JMC - I respect you brother and always appreciate your posts, but have to disagree. Your first point has merit and I can appreciate that a period of time should pass before one qualifies, but this should have some defined parameters or policy.

Regarding your second point, they absolutely have the capability and should be monitoring their spending accounts / players. At a minimum this would include revenues by account size and by individual account size. These metrics govern how they operate their business. Gree would have never purchased Funzio without this basic accounting capability during the due diligence phase. Furthermore, having this capability should trigger account retention strategies like the gold bonus program.

The bonus gold for which months?

[Playboy]

how do you know when you get these bonuses?

[mickymacirl]

how do you know when you get these bonuses?

You don't, unless you are on CCM's special list of people who asked for bulk purchases. I've been flat out refused for previous months, so well I won't be buying anything anymore.

I also get the feeling in relation to Coops account points, Funzio have no idea what purchases individuals make on a monthly basis, the comment that their customers are effectively trying to 'rip them off' is nonsensical and insulting.

I do not see why some people would qualify and others don't when they each purchase the same amount of gold each month.

[Vballmadam]

I sent a ticket in on July 18 th and have never received any feedback. Now i'm reading about people who sent a ticket in 4 days ago and they already have been credited. Would you please look into this for me? I have all my receipts. Thank you so very much. I could use that gold to defeat the boss!

It will only be from the time you sent in the ticket.. they are refusing to apply the bonus amount for purchases outside of this month.

I've nothing back at all I've chased this up as much as I can but nothing.This is my second unresolved issue with this company.just p-ssing in the wind

[mickymacirl]

"This is the first time we have mentioned this bonus program on the forums in general. You were in no way being kept in the dark on this. I apologize for any frustration this causes, but we cannot credit past month purchases. Only from the month the interest is expressed on out."

Enough said!

Obviously they have the capabilities, i was not saying that they didn't. However, this is an unofficial bonus offer to heavy spenders. Being unofficial, it is more than likely each person involved in the program had to be manually looked at in order for the support staff to know how much you have spent and what bonuses apply to you.

If this were an official offer, no doubt everything should be done automatically and the whole bonus thing be public inside the game and on these forums.

[mickymacirl]

I think there whole point is that most of us that don't qualify ARE heavy spenders, and should be rewarded the bonus. We deserve to be treated in the same manner... honestly you would think they would want to keep their customers happy...

About the same for me Coop, around 17,500 gold is due.

Send me your ticket numbers and I'll see what's up.

[Kiss Of Death]

Well I'm glad we are all behaving and carrying on as usual in a way to guarantee this will never continue for long. And it will be your fault.

When I was PM'd by someone I inquired of support and was told you HAVE to send a ticket in manually asking for the previous months spend to be calculated and that you can only ask about the previous month.

I thought... and here's where I differ from a lot of you clearly... bummer I didn't know about this before but so glad I do now... and so was just happy that going forward I could make better deals for myself.


I had to chase and chase and things got stuffed up between what I was told and what I got credited but that happens. I still got more than I planned and the thing is... I'd spent in the past with no knowledge and no expectation anyway! So the fact I got extra for last month that I had not planned on was great.

I have an issue this month due to a misleading (not intentional) series of emails and queries from and to support and I am now in waiting for a ruling from GREE/Funzio on my case for this month in advance of my claim to lodge next month.

But really to carry on like this you're being idiots.

A) you're going to make them say f you all it's not an official offer anyway and since you're all pains in the butt the idea is scrapped!
B) you all sound like the bitter angry old folk winging about "when I was a kid... " and hating the world...

Until this post you were ignorant as was I only a week before it showed up here. But your attitudes stink and in your efforts to demand something that is not actually offered except on a goodwill basis you undermine the feeling that was put into bringing this to the table.

Please don't destroy this for the future... yes we all didn't know because it was a concept CCM brought in quietly. Now it could be here to stay if we all allow it to take it's course and be supportive to developing a proper working process... because frankly I can see they don't have to, nor are bound to for ANY reason to do this for any of us.

I found you do have to chase... a lot... but it can happen.... if it doesn't then fine throw the towel in... but remember.... how many forum members are there actually using the forum at any one time... how many players out there spend and never come here.... you are so damn lucky to have this much heads up....YOU ARE NOW QUITE LITERALLY ONE OF THE LUCKY FEW when you consider the sheer volume of players spending.

you know how the conversation goes, if you've ever worked ANY job, and many of you have. I'm guessing it's going like this right now in the Gree offices.

guy2: I know, I had to do extra work, that really sucked!

[Miner]

Yeah, I know there's a lot of guys that feel like they got screwed with this, but seriously? When starting something like this, you have to set up some parameters. It makes sense that you can't go back months and months. Otherwise, managing the program would be a nightmare on their end. Take what you can get. Be polite and they'll most likely do the same. We all bought gold expecting to get just what we got. Just because we find out that we might be able to get more than we expected, doesn't mean we should go ballistic on Funzio. Just sayin'...

Spoken like someone who has enjoyed the bonus advantage for a while at least. Frankly, if they take the bonus away then so be it. At least you then won't have a significant advantage over me when I spend on gold. Not sure why your gold should be worth 50% more than mine. Anyway, thought you were going to stop spending? If you don't have a pony in the race, why the lecture?

And even if I don't get that there will be a satisfactory lump in my account anyway to spend going forwards.

Lastly.... Man this is going to blow you away.... I'm not the only player in the world... Wow... That must shock you...

Hell someone on the forum who can see a great system and fight for others to have access to it even though she might not... My god no wonder you're confused, must be hard for self focused selfish out for themselves people to understand about trying to help others... Jerk.

Lastly I have only once had the payout a I clearly stated I only found out a week before this post.... Moron.

EDIT: my money is worth 50% more than yours because some one liked me enough to quietly share this with me, and that's because I play for fun and try to contribute and support younger and new players with ideas and game play thoughts rather than just ***** and moan all day

Thank you kod. I will have another drink.

Firstly, I think technically you do ***** and moan all day... In this case, about players who spent heavily on gold in the past and quite rightly want to know why other people's purchases gave them significantly more gold and therefore an advantage in the game. Gold is bought for the advantage it confers. When you find out you were not getting what you paid for, you naturally question why your very expensive gold was worth less than the next person's, possibly for many months. We may get a little hysterical (again, i feel that's a perfectly normal response), but your response to that hysteria feels kinda holier than thou.

As for being a moron and a jerk, guilty as charged. Just so you don't feel like a moron or a jerk for being so rude.

[Mcdoc]

People really have a funny way of ruining a good thing. I was sent a PM about this a couple of weeks ago and just now got around to looking over my bank statements. I know this post was intended to be a "heads up" for everyone - but dang people - haven't we ALL learned by now that some things are best NOT put on blast as every little "hater" will run it into the ground and ruin any good thing?


WE on the forum already have a pretty tight knit group - so FUTURE discussions of things that work out to our advantage should REALLY be passed along in PM's among friends we can trust. There are a LOT of lurkers here who don't participate in the discussion - so why dilute the benefits we discover. And then there are players who are just bitter about everything and will never spend $5 on this game and will ONLY CRY CRY CRY about how unfair everything is for those who actually support the game. I am SO close to completely ignoring a couple of constant complainers who never add ANY value to ANY thread they vomit on with either vile or completely worthless comments. I already skip over their post with my eyes when I see their names - so maybe the Ignore feature is overdue.

Phew - ok - venting over :)

P.S. The sad thing about this "Bonus" incentive is that there are times when I bought a $49 Truck of Gold where if I had known about this incentive, I would have only ever purchased a full vault every time. Oh well.

And many many heavy Gold spenders have not attacked the company on a forum... The smarter ones probably ask nicely privately and see what happens.

@marebare... I didn't get past spends... I got it when you're supposed to... Ie what you spend in June you send a ticket for july and get in July... At some point .

I understand your point kod. But my feeling was that perhaps this should be an official program, and that discourse here on the forum is a good place to talk out the issue. That heavy spenders would be initially upset hearing their purchases were compromised by the fact their rivals (possibly) had more purchasing power all along seems to me quite normal. That that outrage would find its place in this thread also seems normal.

The good news is any of us who visit the forums for the wealth of information, tips, tricks, spreadsheets, event notifications etc now know there is a bonus program in place, and how it works. I'm grateful for that, as I am for everything else I've benefitted from by "lurking" here, and I did request and receive a generous bonus for July.

But it is still my opinion that Funzio/Gree should at least consider previous purchases in some way. As a points program, or whatever. I know they will never compensate me for gold I might have earned previously, but the fact is those players who were offered the program grew stronger than me for the same expenditure. Whether I knew about it or not is moot. I believe I should have been made aware about it by Funzio/Gree(I buy lots of gold, or at least have done up to now). Right or wrong, that's how I feel. This seemed like the right thread to express those feelings.

I'm not pursuing the past compensation question any further, so I won't be "ruining it for everybody". But like I said, I still object to having spent heavily on gold to grow stronger in past months, only to find other players may have possibly been getting 300% stronger than me for the exact same price. Would I have spent as much as I did knowing my rivals got that much stronger for the same price? Probably not, but maybe... In any case, I would have known what I was up against and strategized accordingly. As a Mr. J. Lydon once asked on stage, not so far from Funzio headquarters: "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"

We don't agree, and that's ok. All the best with your outstanding issues, hope they're resolved soon.

Flash, when do you usually send in your ticket? Do you wait for the end of the month, or when your done buying for the month?

[Zoltarov]

@Ranger4Life

I send in my request already when i know i will not qualify for the next bracket.
For this month it was already last week.
I want to be sure it is in the current month to avoid being late.
My bonus is already transfered.

[Ranger4Life]

Thanks Zoltarov!

[Fl@sh]

I also send mine in when done buying for the month, they will transfer your bonus when you request it.

[Ranger4Life]

Thanks Flash

After reading this thread from start to finish. Something I'm not sure about. I've purchased 3 vaults this month, if I purchase two more and send in a request notifying funzi that I've purchased 5 vaults this month. Will I be given the bonus gold. Or will I start to qualify from now on and need to purchase 5 more vaults in one moth to get the gold

[Ryans67]

Make sure you check your iTunes to confirm 3 full vault purchases, then buy two more, and just send a note requesting your gold bonus for your 5 vault purchases before the 1st of September.

[Morphlingman]

Thanks ryans67. I've already received email confirmation on the three earlier vaults purchased. So I guess il be getting two more and take a shot at the next event. I wanted to camp awhile after going up 5 level since the last box event

[Morphlingman]

Do u have that email address. I know it's in this thread somewhere. Just not sure which page

[Morphlingman]

Alright so I just purchased 2 more vaults, so now I guess I just wait for the iTunes receipt and then email that info into funzi/gree. When can I expect to get my gold bonus

fonzio/gree has a record of all your purchased within a month..Just sent a ticket to funzio help support and they said i need a couple more vault to get the bonus but i'm afraid i can't make it..its a little to late for me with 2 more days left on this month...

[Morphlingman]

I just clicked on the "contact us" at the bottom of this page and requested the gold. Is that sufficient to get the ticket sent to receive my bonus gold

Go away. I don't think anyone's stupid enough to take your offer.

And advertising products is a violation of the posting guidelines. Enjoy your ban.

[mickymacirl]

Of course, they are offering gold for half price or something, if they can do this, how many others do that don't advertise!

[Nce007]

All I can say is: Gree(d) definitely know how to make there millions with offers like this one, as if they don't make enough money through the events etc now they want you to spend so much each month & they will give you x amount as a thank you.

[Gambit12]

If i win a lotto i probably get that $10,000 in a month, i would get 300% gold bonus extra with 10 event unit in the past... I probably pick the Dragon Viper for that...

[Gambit12]

I have a question for MW grand masters, if you buy gold during the 20% off discount, you can still get the gold bonus or what..??

CCM has stated in the past that they do qualify.
