September 14, 20233 yr Hi guys. So, I'm well aware about the rules about a side account. However, I want to use my side account as storage space for the pets I've been adopting / making. The other day I did have to play a trudy's surprise on my side account just so that I could adopt the pets I transferred. I know this is against the rules but I don't understand how else we're meant to store neopets. Is there a way to send money to a side account that was earned legally on my main account? If I put up a trade or something or an auction, wouldn't that still be "earning neopoints" from that account? Confusion........
September 15, 20233 yr You are allowed to gift an item to your side account, then put up a trade and include NP to transfer the neopoints. Don't put them in the bank, just keep them on hand. That way you can still take care of the pets in a side account.
September 15, 20233 yr You need to transfer np that was earning on your main to your side. Anything else runs the risk of getting frozen. What I do is put up a junk trade of 10 items on my main. I offer from my side with like 1np and accept on my main. My side now has junk items. I then create a new trade on the side with one of those items. Bid on it from my main with say 20,000np to last me a while. Accept. Side now has legal np. As Duma said, you cannot collect interest on any np you have on a side as this is 'earning np'.
September 15, 20233 yr Secre does more steps than I do. I just gift my side a junk item and use it as a trade. I don't think it makes any difference, but I always put in the trade ad that I'm transferring np to my side accounts just in case they get noticed. https://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=522422&week=506 This is old now (four pets on accounts! How quaint!) but it says what you are/aren't allowed to do with side accounts, just in case you want to double check before doing something to make sure you don't get in trouble for it.
September 15, 20233 yr Good thing for me to know too. I've also been using Trudy's to get np when needed and donated the rest to the Tree.
September 16, 20233 yr Author Thanks all for the replies. It makes me feel a bit better. I'll be sure to keep these methods in mind the next time I need to transfer to my side accounts. :)
September 17, 20233 yr Remember to go to your preferences and turn off Trudy's Surprise for your side accounts.
