Yeah, we wanted to try and make it as simple as possible which is why we didn't make it so that you could do multiple cards, work on all of the cards, etc. We just wanted a simple bonus system. We didn't get it, haha.

I assumed y'all would be super busy this time of year, and the next card (if done every three months) wouldn't be much better. I just want to be able to not be poor and then enjoy my favorite holiday onsite.

It's hard to try and balance the super users and the rest of the site xD My problem is this was announced and I waited, now I'm still waiting and sour about it because ughhhhnhg I'm poor, I want things waiting sucks take my money :C (and I definitely wasn't saying I wanted to fill it up several times, just that it said I'd spent $357 "towards that card" so technically, I almost filled four cards).

Honestly I wouldn't at all be bothered if the cards were done away with (for the record, I hated the randomness of the bobbles, too). I like the csc bonuses and the super bonuses + item that you do from time to time. I think that's more than enough and we don't really need a very well done reward card and a handful of items that aren't worth the amount of drama they caused between people who can give money and those who can't and those of us who give a lot of money.

Have you seen the hallmark movies called the good witch (I think there are 5 in the series so far)? You remind me of the witch character in that movie series. :)

I don't think the movies are on Netflix but you can record them on the hallmark channel or rent them from the library (if your library has them). I think they are good movies even though they are a bit predictable and not scary at all (for a Halloween movie). But the witch character is really pretty, wears cool clothes, and has a black cat. :)

It would be nice if the people who bought CSC today BEFORE the card came out could get the rewards. I bought some just a few hours ago thinking the card was in effect and I just missed the news for it.

Watch for that moment... and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap.

Since these cards are something that you can only get/fill/redeem with your own self spending actual money, there ought to be an end date listed right at the beginning. There also ought to be the same end date ON THE REWARD PAGE TOO.

Shops do promotions with clear start and end dates. Coupons have expiration dates, this ought to as well especially with the real money spent factor. While it was mentioned we'd get "enough warning" that's NOT an answer. Users who miss this news announcement only to come later to a post saying that they have a month to fill their card, or even users planning a budget to get all the card stamps would benefit from even an approximate end date.

Not providing any form of end date other than "Oh don't worry we'll warn you in time." is sketchy and not confidence building.

- if we announce an end date and then only 4 people finish that card in that time, then then the end date would be too soon. Likewise if everybody finishes their card by a chosen end date, and the items end up low-value, the date would be too distant. We have to watch how the card is used, and figure out what works accordingly.

Loyalty cards in places we've used as a kind of model do not give an end date, their cards are simply ongoing. They usually give away consumables, that people will want again and again and will keep their value constant. We can't really do that, as items on here tend to decrease in price with mass ownership, and even consumables aren't needed or wanted over and over again to the same degree as say, a free coffee (without drastically altering the mechanics of the game, anyway).

Even an approximation of an end date, say, will end by Morostide would still be more in line with how most reward and coupons are done. Since this is something we can only get with actual money, sure we can buy an item from another user, but the title itself is exclusive to your own account, it seems very unplanned to not even have an idea how long this will run for.

Like we said with the first card, out estimate is about three months. When we are a month out from it being retired we will make a news post, like we did with the last one. :)

Then that should be stated per new card released, or put permanently on the reward card page ex. "These cards are available for approximately three months from date of release list date of release Make sure to check the news for updates as a new card becomes available. Leaving it as "Well we said before in an old post from x months/years" (Which in time it will be) falls into the not clearly communicating worry people have.

We're pretty happy with the communication we've done on this. When it's set to retire we'll make a notice, as of right now we don't know exactly when.

Further communication will come when we have that information :).

- I still feel some sort of time frame as well as reward page particulars would be beneficial.
