Spend 40 bucks on points and we should get something not sold in store.I have not bought points because I don't need another useless chair.

Give me a reason to spend 40 bucks or more.

Here is one reason



this was with my $40 bundle but the last gift wasn't as nice as this

well i also bought 4000 SP in store but to up teh change to get all diffrent mystery bag items i bought it 4 x 1000SP.

But after doing that the only thing i got was a book case and then 3 times a badge.

As far as i found out by searching on the net a lot of people get badges when they buy 1000sp multiple times.

So i bed EA has some kind of check or something like that in teh store to keep people away from getting to many items, since i asume they rather have people buy 4000 sp or more in 1 time for only 1 items instead of 4 since the price stays teh same till you buy the 8000 or 16000 sp packs.

anybody else that noticed or had teh same thing happening when buying simpoints ?

I don't know about that. The last time I spent $40 on SP I did it in 4 1000 SP bundles and got a different object each time, no badges. But I have heard of that happening to other people.

Well more andf more i get the impression that there is a program or whatever controling what you get.

I wanted to give it 1 last try to see if a delay between sp would make a difrence and teh results are as follows.

I bought 2 x 1000 Sp and again 2 badges so as far as i can see it there is a check
becouse 6 x 1000sp and 6 badges for each of them is not normal.

Seems until a SimGuru gives a answer to this its no more simpoints for me.

How hard can it be to give a Honest answer about tis thing?

I myself think we will never see a Honest answer from EA

jpmassaut, have u contacted live chat support they might be able to give you some sort of explanation, u never know unless u ask.

I am just grateful to have the chance to get a bomus, I think it is like anything we shouldn't expect to much for nothing

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or intentional on EA's part, but I've been buying in $20 increments just in case. I've only gotten the badge twice - and one of those was a $10 bundle. Other than that, I've gotten most of the other items with no duplicates.

Not yet but have donea few times but in the end after lots of chatting they still couldent give a answer to my question, so i doubt that it wil be diffrent this time.

eather way your 1 of the lucky few, or it has to do with the SP store checking in what increments you buy.

Especialy since the cost for 1k,2k or 4k is always the same and i can imagine that they dont want to give away all the diffrent items becouse as soon as somebody has them the change they buy new sp is small and they rather wait til thers something new. i would

I would like to know... is that true that I will get only ONE bonus items from the same pool no matter I buy the 1000 or 4000 SP bundle?

Well, when I bought the 2000 one I got a free chair. Then when I got the 4000 bundle I got a free bookcase, So, yes, it looks like one item per bundle. I guess, now that I think about it, I should've bought four lots of 1000 to get 4 items, but would they all be the same item or a different one each time?

If you're going to buy some though, I would hurry up as I think that 20% off simheart discount ends tomorrow.

well i would always go for the 1000 SP bundles atleast you have a change to get more items instead of 1 even if they can be badges

I' be bought one 2000 Simpoints bundle and the rest were the 1000 point bundle. I got a castle bed, a chair, a mirror, a knight bear, and something else I can't remember.

Edit: It was a book case.

There are 2 beds, 2 chairs, a coffee table, the unicorn statue, a teddy bear, a bookcase & a mirror. Could be more items but that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
Plus of course the badge.

The last 4 times I bought sim points I have only received the badge, kinda sucks. 2-1000pts and 2-2000pts. I don't have one of the beds. Over all I have received the badge about 6 times and everything else but the evil bed.
