Premium--tester discount?

Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:12 pm

I heard from somewhere that the people who alpha-tested the Portal and neomail.com webmail could get a discount on the Neopets Premium service. I'd really like to subscribe, but the regular price is a bit of a ripoff. I've emailed Premium support asking about this, but I haven't gotten a response. Does anyone know if this discount exists, and if so, how can I take advantage of it?

People who signed up with Premium very early on DO enjoy lower prices, anywhere from $4 to $6 per month. I've heard of people getting it for free, even. But I'm pretty sure this isn't available anymore, and the standard monthly price is $8.

Just curious, why do you think that's a rip-off? It's $2 per week, which I think is VERY reasonable just to get rid of the banner ads, let alone all the other benefits.

Well, personally I can't really afford to pay $60 a year for Premium. It's just too expensive for many of us kids that play Neopets.

Yeah, have to agree with you there mate. If anyone can get my parents to spend $60 per year on a game, I'll eat a hat.

And me? I don't have a job yet, don't plan on getting one too soon, and even if I did, I wouldn't spend $60 of my money on Neopets. $30, maybe, if they offered more for my money.

Exactly.

Technically I have a part time job, but I'm going to college in the fall, and my parents are retired. This means all my spare income is going toward tution and stuff. My parents would be extremely angry if I spent my money on a "game".

Maybe someday I'll have enough money to pay.

I am not a kid, but I can't get full time work right now, lol. So right now no for me, but I wonder when I can if I'll do it.

How can I contact the premium team?

I want to sign up to Neopets Premium but it always ask me to come back later. Is there anybody here with Neopets Premium?

I saw that question in the neopet newpaper thing, and it says right now they are not finish with the beta version as there still some problem in the world portal, but when it all done, they'll post it on the news I belive.
