Cash Shop Loyalty Card

July 20, 2014 6:45 pm

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.

[item=Stamp My Card!]

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 youâ€™ve had a chance to collect them all!

Also I'm glad to see the bobbles gone |D Now THOSE were unfair.

I also agree the quality of items is usually across the board. Not everything everywhere is my taste, but it's all done to the same standards. Including the evil food trucks taking all my sPs.

July 20, 2014, 8:17 pm by

you'll get the stamps with 500 CSC purchases ^^, The amount is cumulative.

I KNOW! Gladly my pet train a lot and he'll lose a lot of the weight he gained with the trucks. I'm looking forward to the games announced in the banner like... SO MUCH!

July 20, 2014, 8:16 pm by

Also wanted to say how much I am loving all the wonderful items this event has. Just wow. :) Wish some of these were available in RL.

Laughing, yes, bc they apparently don&;t have to work for their money, probably funded by parents or relatives. When - and if - they actually have to work hard to have money, they&;ll think again before doing it.

lolol I work hard for my money, and I pay my mortage/bills in full and on time and frankly I'll spend my extra money on whatever I want sweetiepie. But thank you for your concern when it comes to OTHER people's money n___n Maybe you shouldn't assume everyone's in the same boat as you, Princess, and actually has jobs and money.

Checks buying history and Awww feels very sad and wishes it was a bit further back for the retroactive credit for buying csc :( dang :(

July 20, 2014, 8:14 pm by

I'm completely fine with this I may even abandon Gaia for this full time. Here is much more worth it anyhow. The art is better and everything

July 20, 2014, 8:12 pm by

I do sort of like this concept since I just paid for CSC with real-life money for the first time...

BUT I do agree with people here who have commented that perhaps the stamps should be rewarded for spending the CSC rather than purchasing it, therefore giving other users who don't have the ability to purchase the CSC with real-life money to earn the stamps themselves.

July 20, 2014, 8:12 pm by

I'm glad a lot of you guys have noticed the amount of non-csc stuff going out too! (I also very much enjoyed the kigurimis and ponchos! And the food truck foods omg) We've worked on a lot, and have a lot more to come (I mean, that's pretty much the situation ALL OF THE TIME :D)

July 20, 2014, 8:10 pm by

I'm going to miss the bobbleheads. I liked the bonus items you got from completing the collections.

July 20, 2014, 8:09 pm by

I'm pretty disapointed to see the bar set at 1k purchases when I can buy CSC in increments of 500.

The amount of hullabaloo is depressing but par for the course. I'd agree with it if people were complaing about legitmate issues, but getting your knockers in a twist because the site is encouraging people to purchase CSC with real money?

The timing of this once again is atrocious. There is uproar with the Wishing Bush, the is aggitation because of the CSC/Couture stuff, and yet this is the best time to release a brand new (and come on seriously you knew as irrational as the backlash is, there was going to be backlash.)

July 20, 2014, 8:07 pm by

- RIGHT?! I will be glad never to see another bobble bobble again! Let's recycle them alllll (note, not official comment, simply comment from Rah who wants to throw all her perky faced little bobbleheads out of the window)

July 20, 2014, 8:07 pm by

I agree ! I really like how they made the 'a' into a paw print; that's what the official title/logo should have!

July 20, 2014, 8:02 pm by

The image for the rewards card is so cute!

July 20, 2014, 8:01 pm by

and also I do work for my money ;P as the 66 hours on my check will agree ;P

July 20, 2014, 8:00 pm by

Jeepers! Started to read comments but gave up. I won't be able to buy CSC directly but I'm happy for people who support the site to get something extra. If it means more people buy CSC to keep the site going, well good on you, you have my thanks :) There's tons of lovely items on here, I've yet to see any "items of sub-par quality" - what a load of nonsense that is!
And I need people to buy CSC so that I can buy it from them to keep my GA going :D

July 20, 2014, 7:58 pm by

I hope Bobbleheads make their way to the RECYCLE BEAST now. I am super sad about Ultimate game cards no longer being a choice!

July 20, 2014, 7:57 pm by

agreed. You just need to look at those kigurumis and ponchos on the fashion shop at Peka-Boo. They're not only for VIP, and they're awesome. Actually, I like them more than the CSC items (even liking some of them, too). I'm just worried because lately we are having a lot of CSC things added. Those Wilikers and other minions-related items, the space-themed items, The Bloody Summoning Altar, Peka-Boo VIP tickets, now the Peka-Boo Coutures. But in balance, we are having also a lot of sP things released lately. I mean, during weeks we had 3 or 4 releases of awesome wearables, like those bug habitariums, the eco bags, those background plates... By now, I think Subeta is still paying attention in all the players, but I'm also kinda worried...

July 20, 2014, 7:55 pm by

Glad I'm not crazy and alone and other users share my sentiments.

July 20, 2014, 7:53 pm by

Btw if you look at past news posts, the amount of regular-sp items released is staggering compared to Peka-Boo VIP items and other cash shop-related stuff. I think subeta is already making an effort to keep a balance, I just hope they keep doing so.

July 20, 2014, 7:52 pm by

Great, I bought 5000 csc two days before the qualifying date.... ;_____;

July 20, 2014, 7:51 pm by

Drama for days!

The loyalty card is cool with me. :p

July 20, 2014, 7:50 pm by

Buttheads.

=3❤️

JMHO:

I fully understand this whole thing and it doesn't bother me. However, just a cautionary word: Neo, the site that has sucked ever since they introduced NC and it took over. As someone that has a very old account over there, I hardly ever play there any more because of it. Neo does not give a hoot about you if you don't buy NC. I was very happy to be brought over here.

The idea is to keep a sense of balance while making sure the site can run as it should.

I know that this is a business first and foremost, and businesses need income to survive, no problem. It's the way things work.

I want Subeta to thrive for a very long time and here is where I spend my time. So may this whole thing turn out to be a wonderful thing for the site and all of it users.

Again, just my opinion and I'm not bothered by the whole thing. Those are some adorable rewards. :)

July 20, 2014, 7:49 pm by

This looks like fun :) I spend about 20 a month or more, depending on how much I'm ignoring my bills ;) but to get a bonus is even better. ;) I even spent 10 dollars right before I even read this news post so ;) yay!

July 20, 2014, 7:48 pm by

, you're wonderful, don't ever change. I doubt that you guys will ever be able to please everyone (you're right, there are so many of us these days!), but I love and appreciate that you and the rest of the staff listen to us and try.

July 20, 2014, 7:48 pm by

Eep, I like this idea! I've never had a use for bobble heads, so if I ever get around to saving up extra cash maybe I'll consider buying.

July 20, 2014, 7:46 pm by

"Well I for one have spent 800+ USD just in the last 2 months. I do not like spending USD on here and nor do I actually have money to throw around"

Look, I'm trying not to get involved in this argument, but this statement is hilarious.

July 20, 2014, 7:45 pm by

Aw no bobbleheads :(

love that lil' gryphon tho'!!!

July 20, 2014, 7:45 pm by

I'm just laughing on people being snobbish and throwing into everybody's face they can afford thousands and thousands of CSC... Laughing, yes, bc they apparently don't have to work for their money, probably funded by parents or relatives. When - and if - they actually have to work hard to have money, they'll think again before doing it.

July 20, 2014, 7:44 pm by

I am happy to see this. It's a nice new way to go about getting rewards for helping out the site. For those of you upset that these are only available through purchasing CS right now, realize that it is very likely these items will eventually be available in user shops. Maybe not for the price you'd like to pay, but if that's the case, you will just have to decide if it is worth to you. (An item will only retain its value if the users deem it valuable. Otherwise, even it maintains a steep price, it's likely to just sit in a user's shop and rot.) Also, there are SO many items which go very little sP (really common and common main shop items come to mind, in particular) that they are very nearly free. I hardly think that adding 10, 20, 50, 100, or even 500 new items that are harder to purchase is going to tip the balance. I, for one, appreciate that there will continue to be a rewards system in place, just with a different format. It's always a stretch to come up with the money to purchase CS and it's nice to get a little something extra. -nods-

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.

Our creative department tries to put out the best art we can on /every/ occasion. You don't have to have tons and tons of real life money to ever get anything cool, here. In all aspects of subeta there are items that are not available to every person for one reason or another other than from buying from another user - battling items, game prize items, quest items, certain event items. But we look at our user base and we see where people are putting time or effort or money in, and we want to reward them accordingly - give them the incentive to carry on, to feel that it's worth it.

We are always looking for ways to make you guys happy, and we appreciate every single user on this site. I appreciate every one that looks at and enjoys the art we produce, and I hate to think that you would believe we are just giving the 'good' items to people with money. We are giving good items to all of you - they are just different sets of good items.

I imagine that after a while, the items available from this loyalty card won't all be kept by the people that got them - and users will be able to purchase from other users for similar prices in SP/SP-bought-CSC the things that they like from the cards. Rather than calling us unfair, I would love for you guys to suggest ways in which we can MAKE this fair. We are listening to you, and we want to hear from you. (I mean, if you want to just call us buttheads that is ok too, but we try really hard not to be, there are just so many of you guys to please!)

July 20, 2014, 7:42 pm by

I don't think people are complaining about those items. But it's the VIP-tickets, more and more CSC only stuff... People can't put up with earning sp to buy gift cards anymore, and the gap between people buying CSC and people not able to, is getting bigger and bigger. I think that is what is bottering most people. Especially with the festival now and people missing stuff cause they weren't able to buy a vip-ticket. They aren't able to buy some of the nice cash shop items, and now they are missing out on this also. Isn't a nice feeling when you are trying but you can't fit in. And if you allready don't have much money in real life, subeta gave you a change to earn and spend a lot on the site. But that feeling is slipping away with all the CSC stuff they now also can't afford.

July 20, 2014, 7:41 pm by

Well I for one have spent 800+ USD just in the last 2 months. I do not like spending USD on here and nor do I actually have money to throw around. But when you want something you work hard for it. I got what I wanted and will continue to buy subeta cash. I see it as supporting the site. Weather you can or not is not something you should complain about. Subeta and the team come out with TONS of great items that are not cash shop items. You think getting one of these will be hard? No, it will not be hard to get these items. With in the first month, maybe. But try getting your hands on T11+ weapons and god weapons. Try getting an item that is so limited that only 5 or less are on site. You say its unfair? I say its perfectly fair. Im not complaining about the peka boo event. I honestly have no idea what its about weather you have to be musically talented or just have a good show with HAs and a group. I have no patience to even design a good HA. Im not complaining about it.

Just try and enjoy the site when you can. For me its an escape from RW stress and even a social bracket in my daily routine. Just got to do your best and have fun.

July 20, 2014, 7:40 pm by

The loyalty card concept makes me feel like I'm at a Rite-Aid though.

July 20, 2014, 7:40 pm by

People scroll down and wasting time complaining about people complaining. I basically just described 1/3 of the comments.

July 20, 2014, 7:39 pm by

But...there IS balance over here? Have you seen the massive amount of gorgeous sP items that just came out with Peka-Boo? We get revamps and/or new releases damn near every week, like what are you even on about.

July 20, 2014, 7:38 pm by

Man, I really do wish this applied retroactively. I really don't mind the idea as much as other people seem to, though...

July 20, 2014, 7:37 pm by

Loving the artwork on the card! - I think this is a nice way to give a little something to people willing to spend real money to support subeta ^^ Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on some of the prizes in the future ;o; DAT GRIFFIN.

July 20, 2014, 7:36 pm by

I feel like this announcement is really badly timed. This, along with the VIP ticket purchases, the CSC couture in the fashion yurts, and the ridiculously amount of rich Subeta users monopolizing the wishing shrub, is making the event feel less like fun celebration and more like an advertisement. A really cool, inventive, interactive advertisement, but still. I like the idea, and I think it's a great perk for those who financially support this site, but I feel like this could've waited until after Peka-Boo had been over for a week or two.

July 20, 2014, 7:33 pm by

"The Loyalty Card considers all CSC purchases from Thursday, 17 July, onward as qualifying purchases." So, no worries! File a ticket to make sure it counted?

July 20, 2014, 7:33 pm by

Hey, I am not saying I do not respect the site or that I think this is going to be "the downfall of us all"...I'm just saying that this is kind of how things started to go downhill with neo. First, there were special items you could only get by purchasing NC. Then, they spent all their time making awesome things that costed real money and almost no time making things for free.

I get that a site needs to make money to keep going. I just...I just finally found this place. It would be so unfortunate to watch the same thing happen here. It is good to give people that can afford to spend money on here something extra for doing so. But...not everyone doesn't spend money on here because they don't want to...most don't because they can't.

I guess all I am trying to say here is, don't forget the little guys while making stuff for RL money, you know? Just keep it equal. Sure, have special items for those who spend real money here, that makes sense. It is still money they did not HAVE to spend money here. But don't do it the neo way and spend ALL their time on RL cash items while giving those who can't spend money the scraps, ya know?

Keep it balanced. No one is saying every user should have every item, that is unrealistic. But don't make it to where only rich users can afford the items.

Just...balance. That is all. Balance.

July 20, 2014, 7:31 pm by

.PoisonIvy - Which items are you talking about? Because I just price checked a bunch of the CSC-purchase-only items we've had recently, and the most expensive I can find is the Opal and Black Pearls for 14m sP. That's not that bad.

July 20, 2014, 7:31 pm by

Hilarious seeing how much people are getting worked up over a few items. Yes, they're expensive, both in terms of real-world money and, one would assume, their SP equivalent. It's only six items! Let the site reward those that put the money into the running costs.

July 20, 2014, 7:29 pm by

I think it's awesome that you find ways to reward our cash purchases....

July 20, 2014, 7:29 pm by

well, that is kind of tricky wording imo. :/

July 20, 2014, 7:28 pm by

yup, I know... I already bought more than $1,000 in NC, and now I stopped playing because that place is dead. I hope Subeta doesn't go that way.

I mean, I'm not saying this is wrong. In the long run we'll be able to buy the items on the usershops for 10m, I hope. But I'm just saying that the site cannot to stop with the attention to all the players as well. And yes, they are still giving us a lot of attention.

July 20, 2014, 7:28 pm by

Oh.. I see where my logic would fall down though.. Those that buy to sell wouldn't get any rewards..

July 20, 2014, 7:26 pm by

No... not spending csc, unless it can be fixed from last time, when buying a csc card from the cash shop counted, and then you could turn it in, and buy it and it'd count again...

(Black friday rewards from a few years ago, I'm looking at you)

July 20, 2014, 7:26 pm by

;

it actually is $100 because there are 10 stamps on the card. The 5 stamps stated on the news post are 'special' stamps which occur every $20.

July 20, 2014, 7:26 pm by

This is not the first thing subeta has ever done that was exclusive to directly giving money to the site, and yet I can't recall people getting up in arms about the special items given when purchasing csc? This is really no different, and chances are people out there will sell the stuff in the end (the only thing I really want is the book |D.. and maybe the cat leggings idk yet) for sP.

This is not a big deal, or new, and I don't see a stupid book or plushie being the straw that breaks the camels back. Now if you get a free godly for 10 stamps, I will retrack this statement, otherwise just take a deep breath.
