Technical Support: Limited time offers
hi people, I have been in this site for like almost 2 years and almost always bought credits when the limited time offers appears in any of the models I visit. Lately those offers are not appearing and they usually appeared every once in a while if I had spent much time in the page. Now the only offers that appear is a special discount and it’s not so great of a deal when buying credits. I was wondering if I ama the only one who does not miss this limited time offers or did they just disappear.
Would love to hear users response and if an admin can tell me why they don’t pop up any more would be useful. Thx I’ll wait for some answers Quote
I have not seen the limited time offers lately myself, but in my experience they are not good offers at all. However, the special discount offers can be quite good. For a long time now 45% discount has been available.

There have been complaints (which I feel are justified) about the "limited time offers" that put pressure on you to buy within a certain number of seconds or lose the chance. In many cases, these offers are not good at all, and are more expensive than the usual "deals" you see in the yellow boxes on chat screens.
I noticed today that the 45% "deals" are being replaced with 33% ones, obviously not as good. At a time when models are hurting due to apparent lower traffic on the site, that may not be a wise move for the customers. Quote

Got u guys thanks for the opinions. Well for me the limited time offers yes were kind of good not all the time. But yeah u have only 60 seconds to grab one of those offers. Yeah special discount at 45% not bad. Will have to compare but it looks like they are not coming back then. Keep replying

Any model I ask tells me they have never seen it so SLOW online before, and that tips are hard to get. Of course, part of that is the economy itself, although people are likely spending more time than EVER online, because of COVID.
Plus, F4F seems to have some ongoing technical issues (buffering on VODs, periodic freezes, problems for models to get online, and - as yesterday - a complete system outage! Obviously, those discourage use of the site, further reducing potential income for models.
Plus, as pointed out, after allowing "45%" (the way you calculate it, but it is 31.5% the way I do) discounts on credits every NONpromo day for many months, now they limit the discount to 33% (which is actually only 20% above the usual 10 cr for $1 most users accept.)
Yes, I know it is a business, and wants to make a profit. But this just seems penny wise and dollar foolish, to me. Quote

I have seen the "45% discount" every day for a couple of weeks now, but maybe the offers depend on where you are located. In my case the prices are in Euro.

A 45% discount roughly matches a 20% discount if you take the 10 credit for one dollar base - but 45% off sounds much much better.

I am aware that the "45% discount " is a scam, but they are the best deals available, exept during some contests, like 4. july, and easter.

Thats correct, In some contests there have been up to 54% discount, and they are quite good.

I’ve been taking the 54% deal i noticed it appeared on holidays Like Memorial Day and July 4th so far and it’s better than getting 3 of the 45% that would be the same price. I hope they do this again or make something even better for the next holiday. After tasting the higher percentage deal 54% more I have no prob waiting out the lower deals.

What is the most confusing is that the "percetage off" deals are calculated based on the "90 credits for $10" basic cost F4F uses, rather than the "100 credits for $10" that most of us assume (and, truthfully, it is rare that anyone actually pays the higher price).
Going by the "100 cr for $10" figure, the 45% works out to be 31.5%. The 33% offer is only 20%. Quote

Nice nice I like that users are putting up there opinions. Like I said I agree with most of u, yes it’s kind of better the special discounts but they always the same. When the red limited time offers appeared there would be better credit offers or higher credits for an economy price.
Yes the page does some promos sometimes but personally they are not to attractive to me. I really wished the limited time offers would appear like once every month or so it can really make users of buying them. Users will always spend more than $50 on credits cause buying lower price credits doesn’t really give you much
Thx for all replies I hope this forum keeps growing and maybe the F4F admins can give us better credit offers. You rarely see a credit offer of 1,675 credits or more. Keep posting Quote

Gasoline used to sell for less than $1 per gallon too. Times change, prices increase. It's time you get used to the fact that credits sell for $ 0.11 and not $ 0.10 anymore. 90 credits for $10 is the base price now.

For your information that was the basic price in ALL of the 2½ years I have been on this site.e. I am well aware of that.
But, in all that time, I don't think I *ever* paid more than 10 credits for $1 (10 cents a credit), It was always available, and usually much less than that. That was my point. And I am sure many others have the same experience. So these "deals" do not seem that great, by comparison.

Just quit your bitching newbie.

Would have been nice if that would be for models too - there haven't been any change too. And .. in electronics and software things get cheaper year by year - my OLED TV was around 5K euro when I bought it - now it is below 2K with better software .
But as Flirt4Free is business not comunity - they grab whatever they can, as every business does. Demand makes the price.
If members pay the price they made it right. Whereas in early years a brought mass made the sites major income now it is a few superspenders who make it. Competitors kept the price on same level

For what it is worth, I *did* briefly see an offer for "45%" discount this evening, even though it was a promo day. Didn't last long, but good to know they may be back at times.

I've seen the 45% offer nearly every day for the past two months. It's rare that it hasn't been offered.
