Tamara Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Honestly, the only thing that I really found useful was the Super Shop Wizard. Its really handy for finding good deals and restocking. The random little events and money is pretty neat too. However, besides that there isn't much that impressed me. I might be getting it further down the line when I have a bit more money, because I did enjoy a lot of the free prizes and being able to get good discounts on items - but besides that; its not THAT great.

Krawk Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It's kind of a rip off, the only good thing is the SSW.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The ssw must be awesome and of course the avatar about loving neomail(if you don't have that) for the rest I don't see a real reason to go premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepti M. Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well if you're an avatar collector, and you refer (I think five? Not sure) people, you get a Premium avatar. HOWEVER, it goes away after you quit Premium. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 well Ive been considering trying it... just for the avatar to be honest. Maybe if you get it you can let me know how it goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepti M. Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 You can also read TDN's articles on Premium. :) They've been a big help to me when I was reading about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberri Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi All, I just joined Premium about two weeks ago. At first I was a little disappointed, as there really aren't many differences, other than the super shop wizard (which is really AMAZING for finding super cheap deals as it always shows you the lowest price!). But I've had a lot more luck around the site, and I get a Something Has Happened email every second day telling me i've won the lottery (between 500-1000 neopoints per time) and every Friday you get a space faerie scratch card which seems to give you a win most times. Plus, you have your portal which you can customise (I love how I can see my shop till balance and items I'm holding on the sidebar on every page I navigate to). So in the end, it does make neopets a bit more fun, especially if you like restocking. I think I'll keep it just for the super shop wizard, and the extra ~2,000 NP's I get per week. If anyone wants a referral to Premium let me know (on here or neomail strawberri21). I'd love to get that lucky charm from referring people! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elowi Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It really depends if you can part with the money. For $7.99 or whatever it is, I think the SSW is worth it. I didn't have premium for a few months and I didn't bother restocking without the SSW because I was so used to it. Downside being the frequent bans from it until the next hour if you search too much. I also seem to win prizes in the lottery quite frequently, along with more random events and a weekly scratchcard that always pays SOMEthing. But mostly it's for the SSW.

ludachick2007 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well if you're an avatar collector, and you refer (I think five? Not sure) people, you get a Premium avatar. HOWEVER, it goes away after you quit Premium. D: The avie was one of the biggest reasons i was going to try it but if i decide to stop using premium and it goes away that would be a huge disapointment. well Ive been considering trying it... just for the avatar to be honest. Maybe if you get it you can let me know how it goes... I will definately let you know how it goes. Thanks for all your advice guys! I think once I get enough money saved up I will do like a one year trial and see how it goes. I appreciate all the comment! Thanks again.

stephie23 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just curious if you've started premium yet, and how its going so far.. im considering doing the trial... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 ive been thinking about premium too.. mostly because i really want the avatar and am curious about the SSW.. however, i think pricewise you just aint getting what you paid for.. remember its 7.99 monthly question: do you get the neomail avatar if you just have the trial (ie pay nothing?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Im pretty sure you do for the trial ... but for me its $8 american so it works out prob to about 10.. and I just dont think its worth $10 a month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Im pretty sure you do for the trial ... but for me its $8 american so it works out prob to about 10.. and I just dont think its worth $10 a month...The exchange rate isn't that bad right now. I think it's only about 8 cents on the dollar. If you buy a yearly subscription, it's only $70 for a year. That's not so bad. Some new video games retail for that. It's less than I paid to buy Super Mario 3 back in 1991. Also, i I think Premium goes on sale for Christmas, but I can't remember for sure.

Tam Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Premium does go on sale for Christmas for a YEARLY membership (reduced $10 from memory). When you sign up for neopets premium you are set to pay monthly and then you can go in before your trial period runs out and elect to pay yearly. There was no discount for monthly membership. I joined premium cos I spend a lot of time on the site. I have stayed on because i love the Shop wizard and the scratchcards. This close to chrissy I would either pay monthly and then change to yearly when the sale comes cos its sooo much cheaper. If anyone has any questions I would be happy to help and if anyone wants a referral NM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Ive read over the benefits of it.. super shop wiz, space faerie scratchcard, avatar etc. but I dont really see much more stuff there than on the normal site, or at least nothing worth paying for anyways... am i perhaps overlooking something?

C.A.V. Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I don't think it's worth paying for small little details. I wouldn't know, I don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepti M. Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've heard about the Super Shop Wizard. It seems awesome. It'd be even more perfect if you got some NC every month. Just like a 100. After all, you're pretty much paying more then it's worth anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thats a good idea... I think if I got 100np a month I'd consider doing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Its completely up to you if you think its going to be worth it for you - thats why they have the free trial for two weeks, so you can cancel without paying if you don't like it. Personally, I've had Premium for years and I wouldn't go back! The SSW is awesome of course, but its the ads that drive me insane on Neo xD So with Premium no ads is a huge plus :P That and my Charter access are the two reasons I keep paying for Premium every year.

Tre Le Coco Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I've been thinking about getting premium too, always have since it came out xD But im glad i didn't while i was younger, would of wasted it >.<; I hope there is a sale on during Christmas, i might give that to myself as a christmas pressie haha. Im really more interested in using the boards and portal, and that boss button xD lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Actually the boards have interested me... I wonder how big of a difference there is between there and the normal boards... ..and do you think its more likeley to get lent SuaP or Mspp there..?

Strawberri Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I find the premium boards really friendly and people seem much more mature. I haven't tried asking for lends, but it would probably have a higher chance of success than the regular boards. Much less chance of finding scammers also, as why would a scammer pay for premium! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
