Howdy!
I posted earlier when I was confused by the price of feez.
IE:
"$6.99 buys you 507 feez including 117 feez" actually meant "$6.99 buys you 390 feez with 117 extra feez fee"

At least that's what I thought.
So, figuring I understood how things worked I purchased $27 dollars worth of feez.
Now though I am running low so I was considering buying more.
I am not out, I have 610 left.

So how is the actual feez price calculated?
This is what I see for numbers

Before I bought anything - having a balance of 0 feez
All prices are rounded up to the dollar, All prices are in US$
$7 - 507 including 117 = 390 before "free" feez
$10 - 715 including 165 = 550 before "free" feez
$15 - 1040 including 240 = 800 before "free" feez
$27 - 2210 including 510 = 1700 before "free" feez
$40 - 3510 including 810 = 2700 before "free" feez
$68 - 6500 including 1500 = 4000 before "free" feez

After buying 2210 feez and spending most of it. I have a balance of 610 left.
$7 - 390 including 39 = 351 before "free" feez
$10 - 550 including 49 = 501 before "free" feez
$15 - 800 including 48 = 752 before "free" feez
$27 - 1700 including 345 = 1355 before "free" feez
$40 - 2700 including 694 = 2006 before "free" feez
$68 - 5000 including 1589 = 3411 before "free" feez

If I were to spend the balance of my feez would these numbers change again?
If I were to wait time would these numbers change again?
If I were to buy more feez, how would the prices change again?

Please someone explain it to me.
I had known the amount of "bonus" feez was going to drop, but not only did the bonus drop, but the base dropped as well...
I can't draw any mathematical explanation from the numbers I've seen so far.
And I haven't seen any news or announcements about price changes.

I will be blunt, until I understand how the pricing system works I definitely won't be spending more.
The way I see it, the 600 I have now is enough to last me 5 months if I choose to stretch it. (buy a 4 card booster every month so that I can sell the cards I've bought with crystals)
I would much rather to be able to buy new feez each month and feel confident that the price isn't going to continue increasing exponentially...

Thank you in advance.
And my apologies if this post comes across poorly. I wrote it quickly while at work.

free feez is just the first time you buy feez ,after taht forget about free feez , i dont know if that was your question

ledeir · 15-12-2010 20:30:36

Thank you Thor, your reply makes me look at the issue from a different perspective.

Does this mean from the second purchase onward the number of feez will stay constant?

If that is the case my confusion is actually caused by a user interface bug... Though they discontinue the bonus after the first purchase, they do not update the interface to properly reflect that...

The free feez are always given, whether it's your first or your 25th purchase

*Shrugs.* You never know, it might be fluxuating by the international market difference between currencies.

Or maybe I'm thinking too grand.

ledeir · 15-12-2010 21:04:50

@Pizz - Does the number of Fee'z you receive continue to decrease?
@Xeno - That was my first thought, that it might somehow be related to conversion rates... But seeing how long it stays constant I find that unlikely.

So, now that I'm at home, I opened up Excel and did some calculations on the PayPal list of available pay options.

I came up with the following average feez per dollar (FPD):
$6.99 = 55.79 FPD
$9.99 = 55.06 FPD
$14.99 = 53.37 FPD
$27 = 62.96 FPD
$39.99 = 67.52 FPD
$68 = 73.53 FPD

Now, I know you'll probably say that they fix that with the free feez... here's the average with the free feez:
$6.99 = 72.53 FPD
$9.99 = 71.57 FPD
$14.99 = 69.38 FPD
$27 = 81.85 FPD
$39.99 = 87.77 FPD
$68 = 95.59 FPD

With the current FPD amount, it's silly to get the $9.99 or the $14.99, as I suspected, looking at them. Buying $6.99 twice only gets you 26 less than the $14.99, and is a dollar cheaper. Without purchasing fees, unless you're looking to spend more than that, that's the one you want to go with. You could even go to the $21 mark without worrying.

what surcharge? They didn't charge me anything extra...

XenoZangotta · 05-01-2011 17:39:21

Same here, no surcharge. I don't know where you got that.

Ok - The very FIRST time you purchase feez - you get more FREE feez.

When you make a second purchase the FREE feez has reduced - it should stay this way constantly from here on out.

Happy Days.
