200 % coupon....what is exactly the value...

[Bandi73]

Hi. What is the value of the aforementioned coupon? I'm asking because I've seen contradicting explanations.  For example, I if purchase an item valued for....let's say 2000 doubloons, then I will receive my item + 4000 dubloons? Because...that's what 200% means. But, I saw explanations which stated that  it is actually the item +2000 dubloons. WeeGgee seems utterly incapable of proper unambiguous communication

[iDuckman]

While I don't dispute your last statement, in this case 200% means double, or two-for-one.  Or an additional 100%.

[Bandi73]

Yes. But the coupon is a " cashback" coupon and in that case it should mean  item + value + value .That's the definition of 200% cashback. If it is "just"

item + value. that's NOT 200%, it is 100% and the wording is misleading at best...

go here and find the doubloons corresponding to your money spent.

I bought 25K doubloons and got around 49.5K bounus, so the bonus will be a bit less than double.

Aha. That means  100 NOT 200 % .Well I guess we can add that to Weegee's growing list of dishonest practices....

If there is a coupon and you buy double-loons at any amount (Which I do from time to time for excess of 100 dollars) you will find that say 200% coupon will amost double the amount of coins purchased in real dollars.

Its a coupon, you are not going to get cash money back. In fact Virtual Goods which is what this falls under is a pretty narrow form of finance using real dollars via credit card or similar. If you run into exchange rate then if its not in your favor it will cost you more dollars to get x amount of something. Plus upwards of a 3% fee that can be imposed by those who are being consumed by actual credit cards in merchant fees etc.

It's 200% in dubs PLUS the item. 

Bought 25k dubs and received a total of 75k dubs when I got mine

Thanks both of you, that clears up things a bit. I saw MANY discussions on EU related to this subject. It seems that WG finally got their act together  (at least on this subject) .

Another magic 'coupon' I've yet to receive. 

[weiwaynezhang]

ppl say it is only for never pay players....

[KaptainKaybe]

Must be. I haven't received any such coupon. In fact, when WG sends me coupons, it's usually because I haven't loaded the game in a while. Cause f**k you loyalty, eh?

Hi. I can confirm that the coupon ( to my surprise) work as advertised. I bought doubloons (2500) and I received  the stated value ( in total 7500).I bought two months premium time (so I will be covered for the holidays) and 2 permacamos for my favourite T6's. I play operations (a LOT) so ....it would help there.
