I have long complained about the absence of good "deals" on credits, and how I feel it is discouraging tipping and shows in chatrooms ... which most models will agree with.
I was thankful that the "45%" discounts are back, usually for a limited amount of time each day, except on days when a promo is running. But it is not being done wisely.
ANY business knows the best way to increase their gross is to limit discounts to higjher quantity (or dollar amount) purchases. But lately I have been seeing the 45% discount may apply to purchases of $100 or $200, but if you want to spend $300-500, the amount of "free" credits you get is proportionally much less. That is INSANE.
Yes, theoretically I can do five of the $100 "deals", if it is better than the $500 deal. But the deals are set to only allow one or two of a denomination, then they disappear or increase in price. That simply DISCOURAGES purchasing at ANY price, which makes no sense from a marketing standpoint. It also kind of insults the intelligence of the user, since you are asking them to pay a higher unit price when buying in quantity!
