Even on the initial, annoying pop-up you get for this reward point "sale", the wording says "up to 30%", not just "30% off". In fact, only the most expensive package shown carries the 30% discount.
It seems you have to buy at least the package for 215 reward points to get the boldly advertised discount. And no discount at all for the lowest reward point package - you know, the one most players are more likely to buy?
And it's not just me, this has come up before. I call this foul play on Zynga's part, and you can bet that they just lost some of my money. In the past I have frequently purchased reward points when they are 40% or more off of the original price, but rarely the larger packages. If a good sale hit me at the right time, I might would spend an average of $20 on reward points.
With this new wording and price structure, it simply reduces the probability that a good sale will actually fit into my budget. Sorry for ya, Z.
Unfortunately you will be amongst the very few who actually READ these things, and they will make lots of money with not-quite-misleading-but-lying-anyhow advertising.
ReplyDeleteThanks Misty, I borrowed your images for a post. I've been waiting to get that and none of my accounts have it. I still get the old boring straight forward pop-up.
