Besides...L$1000 is $5.00 US Dollars. Not really worth paying premium just to get that. 3 minutes ago, Charalyne Blackwood said: So your alt was premium already 2 years ago. You don't make things particularly clear. You clearly missed the point about first time premium users and the bonus. First time premium users get the bonus after 45 days of premium membership, so for a first time premium users to only be premium for one month makes no sense. Now buh bye Pretty sure that was crystal clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone actually do that? start next discussion with reading the first post ... OP states clearly she STOPS being premium , so all discussion about keeping, renewing, subscribing is kinda off topic and a total derail about the subject. 15 hours ago, VyoletSugar said: Cancel my membership for nothin, enjoy my $12 LindenLabs,.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charalyne Blackwood Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 53 minutes ago, Rowan Amore said: You'd end up spending more to keep the premium for 2 months including stipend, than the bonus is worth. You get 3400L/$15.66 and spend $24 for 2 mths premium. If anyone goes premium strictly for the bonus and stipend there's a problem with their math. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they often go premium for one month simply to change their name which is what @Sam1 Bellisserianwas trying to say. Lordy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wait! You can't change your name unless you become a "member" Yeah Ok worth it! Then I go to the change name page... But wait!!! On top of paying $12 a month to have a membership, you ALSO have to pay an additional $39.99 to actually change your name.. What a ripoff. Great big sigh, I could have spent that $12 on lindens and bought a nice outfit. Cancel my membership for nothin, enjoy my $12 LindenLabs, clearly you need it more than I Vyolet (the name she wishes she had) Your name is fab as it is, but you can potentially win a year's premium membership plus a last name if you submit a new last name that hasn't been used before and that Linden Lab decides they like enough to bring into the next batch of names.

You can have 70 groups, which don't disappear when you go back down to Basic. Use this bonus to join groups that have group gifts you like, plus a couple where you can rez stuff for free on their land. Also, if you've never been Premium before with this account, you get a $L 1000 bonus after you've been Premium for 45 days.

Look at Apple Fall, Zerkalo, Trompe Loeil, and most of the nice furniture stores. p.s. Rowen is right. You can get a new Linden Home in each of the Linden Neighborhoods, then grab all the free landscaping and textures packs from them.

Just on stipend alone it worked out i got more L$ over 3 months than spending that same amount buying L$ from the exchange i used to use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 11 hours ago, Alwin Alcott said: And... only with the first subscription, if that one ends after a month it's gone I don't think that's right, Alwin. The $L1,000 bonus is a one-time payment, that is paid after 45 days of continuous membership. So, as I see it, you could sign up for a month, cancel, then sign up again in the future, not cancel, and you'd get the bonus 45 days after you began your second go at Premium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in handy at times. This! \0/ To swan into mega packed events without missing a beat when the horde has trouble even typing in chat, let alone TP-ing in, reminds me of going RL nightclubbing in stretched limos. 🥳 (Gfs and I used to share costs doing this a looong time ago because we knew the limo company owner -> cheap/shared rental fees). Matryoshka doll limo arrives, peeps stumbling out 1/2 tanked, lolling raucously, instant entry and such an hilarious mess of flying hair & breezy clothing. (tropics - very hot). In stark reality, a smart & safe choice because you're all together and no one gets left alone or behind. 😉 It's nice when you're a nobody to pretend you're some v.i.p every now and then. ☺️ Oh to be 20 something again and living 3000kms from home lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was 5.. It may be different from sim to sim or something.. Maybe the limit is set by the sim owner or something.. I've been to some sales where basics couldn't get in after 45, but seen the cap at 50.. We were in the Genus group, this was a couple years ago if I remember right and I got in at a Scandalize sale at 49 and said in group, I got in!! \o/ Then one of my friends in the group that is premium also said, Ceka!! you took my spot!! hehehe Edited April 4, 2022 by Ceka Cianci 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains it. Welp. This basic account won't be bothering to even try to get in anymore. Bad enough to be ostracized in RL, I get it in SL, too. Screw that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
