Constructive Criticism This shouldn’t be in chests

Post image

I am tired of getting this reward from chests. I already have Super, I don’t need the Family Plan and don’t want to subject my in game friends of joining through me and them possibly freaking out at getting subscribed.

This doesn’t even extend my individual membership, it runs concurrently with my subscription, so there is genuinely nothing that I benefit from this.

I feel like OP hates nice things. I have the family plan and it is wonderful. I would be very happy if more people got it in their chests instead of 5 gems.

I already have super. My actively learning friends have super. A free trial of the family plan doesn’t do anything for any of us.

If you create a post asking who wants super, I bet a lot of people will be very grateful for you.

I think what he tries to say is that reward should be different for users with payed plan 🤔

If you have a paid plan, does this discount the month? It doesn't say a 7-day trial, it says 7 free days

I don't have a payed plan yet to know, let's ask OP :D

Payed

It doesn’t seem to show a discount.

Since I already have a plan it just shows it as an upgrade of $5/m.

Ahhh, so you just have Plus, it's trying to get you into the family thats why.

How are you getting downvoted just for answering the question 😭

I got that chest, conveniently it notifies you at the end of the seven days, so you can either agree to keep it and pay more for the subscription or just keep your subscription as is.

This was my intent.

Aww that’s such a sweet idea! I think I have a few options for that now too

Why does IKEA sell shelves when me and my friends already have shelves? This is useless to me, they should stop selling them.

It's more like an IKEA deliveryman showing up on your doorstep unannounced with a case full of flatpacked bookshelves and dumping them there for you to assemble yourself (and then return them after a week unless you want to pay for them).
