Not a deal: Plugin Boutique Virtual Cash Expiry

[antler 1,671]

Just a heads-up:

I just logged into my PB account. It might be that I've not been very observant in the past, but I've just noticed that Virtual Cash now has a one-year expiry timeout. According to the help page, buying something will add to your virtual cash (as before) and reset the timer back to 365 days.

Thanks for letting me know.

364 days left here on that Virtual Cash, but Tokens don’t seem to expire, so if time’s running out you can always switch to tokens if you’ve got sufficient VC in your account.

Uh oh...... I've only got 334 days to spend my 89p or all those made up ratings will have been for nothing.

I’m thinking that getting a freebie also resets the timer.

If you buy something to get the freebie, the item you buy counts as a "new paid purchase", so yeah - that works

I think the question is checking out with an actual freebie.  They have free plugins without need to purchase but still require a checkout process.

Paid purchase is well paid even if you only wanted the freebie of the month.

They should sell IK products then. Just for the sake of clarity.
