too-cool Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 We earn bonus point by buying ED products, the more we spend the more we earn in bonuses, My question is if we earn these bonuses because we spend our money on their products why are we limited to only being able to use only a small fraction of what we earn at a time, why can't we use all our earned points to make a single purchase?

soupyc Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It's admittedly a weird way of doing it, but if you just look at it as a loyalty discount rather than 'e-cash', it makes more sense. I can knock a $60 purchase down to $48, that's 20%, a fair discount for a brand new module like the Harrier. You don't often see new games on a Steam sale for that level of discount.

Bersagliere81 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It's just a bonus, an extra. We should be glad they give this to us, and not pretend they are real money we can spend according to our terms | A-10C | MiG-21bis | Hawk T1.A | L-39 Albatros | F-5E | Ka-50 | Mi-8 | NTTR | CA | SU27 | M2000C | F-86F | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Mig 15 | Mig 19| Specs Intel i7-9700k msi GTX 2060 Gaming Z msi Z390 Gaming PLUS 16gb RAM Hotas Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 A few times during the year, ED allows us to exceed the usual limit of 30% Bonus usage ... like right now, when several modules can be had with 70% using Bonuses ... I've just used the Bonuses that I earned on my last purchase (the F-18 ) and thus bought Combined Arms for US$6 :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bersagliere81 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just wondering why we can't use all when making a purchase Simply put, bonus points are not money, far from that. Think of it like "monopoly cash" printed by ED. As such, they decide how you can "spend" that monopoly cash | A-10C | MiG-21bis | Hawk T1.A | L-39 Albatros | F-5E | Ka-50 | Mi-8 | NTTR | CA | SU27 | M2000C | F-86F | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Mig 15 | Mig 19| Specs Intel i7-9700k msi GTX 2060 Gaming Z msi Z390 Gaming PLUS 16gb RAM Hotas Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bersagliere81 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 They equal a percentage and that percentage equal to a similar virtual amount. It's not a change. Unfortunately it is true.
