I'm fine with it being either just one card or two different overlapping cards like in Andrea's suggestion.

I doubt these prizes will be unobtainable, there will likely be plenty of people completing these cards depending on how long they are up. Prizes from bobblehead collecting was limited to one per account and I see no reason for this to be any different. Keeping the items somewhat limited ensures that they should have a decent resell value which makes it a bit more enticing to people on the fence about donating.

It would be nice if staff would give us a concrete time span for these though. Without one, I kinda get the feeling they will be forgotten about much like the bobbleheads...

That sounds like there's hope. Subeta is notorious for implementing ideas and being all sorts of enthusiastic only to forget about all of it with a month or two or maybe three, depending on how good the idea was.

I'm sort of hoping my money continues to count for new stamps on a second or different card...I mean, personally I could fill a card every two months. But if theres only a new card every three or four I'd be bummed B-BUT then again I'd be happy with CS loyalty discounts or account BUFFS until new stamps/rewards can be collected

I am all for multiple cards. One of the items this time is transformable. I would like to own both versions. One of the items is a book. I read to more than one pet. There are plenty of reasons other than trying to make a profit.

I think the bigger problem fact of the matter here is that some people spend a lot more than $100 in a far shorter amount of time than others might, and that's a double edged sword. If loyalty cards are a new card every month, there would still be some people who max them out before hand-- and then there's other's who might not fill up a card in 6 months even.

Sure in stores you can fill up as many cards as you want, but usually filling up a card is like a free sandwich or 10% off your next purchase. It's not free stuff for every $20 spent. Free stuff you can then turn around and sell.

I mean don't get me wrong, if I know something epic is waiting for me @ $100 then I'ma be a loot more enticed to drop $100 to get it. But we already get some bonus csc for buying csc, and every few weeks it seems there's special incentive items for buying csc.. I don't think we really need the ability to fill up as many cards as we want to get dupes.

Yeah - at least with the Bobbleheads, I was rewarded frequently for my spending. I have maxed out this card (double the amount) and get nothing as incentive any longer.

I get that these are just perks as a thanks for buying a lot, but at least make the cards reset so you can get the items multiple times or something? I have several pets that are reading a lot, being able to get the books a few times over would be nice. Same with the rest of the items which could work for TCs.

It's a new month and the card hasn't changed, so it doesn't look like it's a monthly reward system - which means I have less incentive to spend actual money and more to just use sP to get CSC once I max out (if I even want all of the rewards). When this was first mentioned, it seemed like we'd get random buffers and other things that would come in handy as well, but those seem to have been taken off the table /sigh

I was pretty bummed out when I bought my monthly CSC tonight and my stamp card didn't reset once I'd filled up all 10 stamps. I don't know if it would really deter me from buying CSC but I know that I probably wouldn't be as liberal as I am with buying CSC like I have been. I'd only buy if I really need it. If the cards would reset I would buy every month if I needed it or not.

I do really like 's suggestion of two cards overlapping and retiring at different times and new cards showing up.

But this is different, as you could sell the individual bobbleheads, whereas this time, you just fill the card yourself. If I had completed my bobblehead collection, I still got a bobblehead with a purchase, and could sell it / gift it, whereas now once I've filled the card, I get nothing else when I buy any further CSC.

agrees there's no further incentive to spend real money once the card has been filled, so we might as well use sP to get our csc, which isn't supporting the site towards the "daily goal" thing in quite the same way ;)

I think there should be a second card to be able to fill - as mentioned earlier one of the items is transformable, and it would be nice to be able to "earn" both versions (I know I can transform it, but I'd like to be able to get both), through purchasing CSC.

Hopefully there'll be a new card released soon (maybe even if the card overlap for a month or three, so those who still need to finish one card, can have their stamps counting on that before the next one), so those who have already finished their card are still getting a bonus for buying csc :)

I still feel pretty shafted by his change since I'm not getting any benefit anymore for buying. At least with bobble heads I could sometimes get lucky and make something of the amount of cash I shell out here.

When this was announced it seemed like you wanted to reward people who were officially supporting the site but this doesn't at all feel like a reward.

I would have filled a number of cards by now if this was the reward you made it out to be. As it stands, I've given a lot of money, more than I meant to spend in fact, and I got one small set of items.

Agreed! I don&;t even think there should be just two of them, just keep them coming as long as people are spending their money, which should be the whole point?
If it stays just to one card, I&;ll likely only spend 40 more dollars to get a full card and then wait for a completely new card/prizes. If there&;s more, I&;ll get another 50 dollar to start the same card again!
It would also help to get some more of the prize items out there.

I wouldn't want to have them just keeping on coming as that would totally squash the value of the prizes into nothing. However, if there were multiple cards, the first two you fill up would award you the items. Any other cards after that could give you a certain amount of sP instead, maybe? I dunno. Might not be a good idea considering how staff is trying to keep you from getting sP in too many ways. Maybe you could get a stat booster instead that you could use for one of your pets.

There are 5 different stats (not including Level). Why not have each stamp correspond with an item that could raise each stat in turn?

For example: the Kumos stamp could give you a speed item, etc.

These items would work similar to the loyalty boxes - they'd be for your own use only.

This thought would be ONLY if multiples of the same card came into play...and it's a thought only lol! XD

I would love to have the cards overlap a bit. Even with trying not to buy too much CSC lately I've still got enough spent to fill a few cards.

That sounds a pretty neat idea :D Although for those who don't train, it wouldn't be much incentive.... (for me it would be though!)
