Using Points and Miles to Buy Up Virtual Facebook Credits

Kendall — Wed, 02 May 2012 07:00:19 +0000

No one can deny the relevance Facebook has in most people’s lives. Not only does it allow for social interaction among people, but is also a great place to find games that can be shared with friends. One of the features that is now available to enhance gameplay is the use of Facebook credits. This is a virtual currency that allows players to buy add-ons as well as virtual items for their games.

One of the best ways players can acquire these credits is by buying items they use every day. One app that allows players to do this is Ifeelgoods. This app connects customers with sellers who will often give discounts and also give customers a certain amount of points that can later be converted into Facebook credits. Not only does this save players money, but gives them the chance to enjoy their Facebook games to the fullest.

Another benefit to this system is the security that it provides. Rather than entering credit or debit card information for every app, the user simply uses the Facebook credits to make purchases. This prevents a person’s financial information from being scattered across multiple apps and publishers. This lowers the risk of fraud and ensures untrustworthy apps can’t gain access to users’ sensitive information.

The way in which a user converts points into credits is relatively simple. If a person has 1,500 points they simply allow the Ifeelgoods app access to their profile and the points are converted into 75 Facebook credits and transferred to their account. There are no long processes or forms that need to be completed before a person can start using their credits.

Not only can Facebook credits be used on a home computer, but on a mobile phone and tablet device as well. This means that a player does not have to restrict their use of these credits simply because they are away from home. This is convenient for those who travel frequently but still want to enjoy the benefits that these credits bring.

This is great for games like Farmville and Gardens of Time. Many times a person can speed up the process of building or gain items by using these credits. This is especially helpful for those users who either have limited friends or don’t have other people who are willing to play the game.

Facebook is committed to expanding the ways these Facebook credits can be used. Future services and products will be more attainable to users who have these credits readily available. Apps like Ifeelgoods simply makes the acquisition of these credits easier for users and gives them the option to buy the real products that they love. This means no longer having to simply buy the credits to use them on a game that may not be popular in 6 months.

By sharing an app like Ifeelgoods with friends, a user will give other people the chance to build up these credits and play the same games as the user. Apps like this help to create a more fun gaming environment and save everyone involved money on products. If you wish for real life points that may transfer over to games you can use rewards cards programs such as points.com or credit card introductory offers.

The power of Facebook is something that does not appear to be going away anytime soon. Users would benefit by not only gaining discounts on a plethora of products, but gaining Facebook credits at the same time. Systems like this help to connect the best online retailers with the customers that want their products.

Farmville Ornaments on Ebay

Kendall — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:32:48 +0000

Farmville is coming out with Christmas Ornaments, and in the most ridiculous move ever (price wise) someone has already listed them up on ebay with a starting bid of $100 for just ONE! Crazy town. They retail for $12.95 and it looks like they will be available at Best Buy (based on comments from someone who found them). Perhaps they will expand to other stores as well, will be interesting to see. Hopefully no one buys them at this price, by the time the auction ends and the items get shipped, you could have picked it up at the store for considerably less $$.

Farmville Orchards to Produce Water!

Craig — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 00:03:40 +0000

<-PLEASE SHARE – In a rather odd set of news, farmville is working on a new feature that will allow orchards to produce water when harvesting!

Farmville Water Can

Coming soon to farmville, when you harvest your orchards, if you don’t produce a seedling, you will get water! And Coins!

Farmville Orchards Might Produce Water!

Howdy! We do see there’s going to be a bit of a water shortage but it’s going to be short-lived. Coming next week we’ll be adding the ability to harvest Watering Cans out of your Orchards. We’re still tinkering with the exact number you’ll get from each, but essentially if you’re harvesting an Orchard and you don’t get a Mystery Seedling, you’ll get some water instead (as well as the coins from normal harvesting).

[edit]It seems the the news is official and this function will release sometime next week[/edit]

What do you think of this possible option?

New Years Rabbit and Red Pagoda

Craig — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 01:25:28 +0000

If you didn’t get a Ney Year Rabbit or Red Pagoda the first two times they were released into the market, You still *might* have a chance to get them for coins. (keyword: Might)

A slightly unofficial response from one of the Zynga community managers:

This is not a definitive word, but I think y’all will be able to keep your Red Pagodas and New Year Rabbits. You may be seeing the rabbit back in the Market in the near future at the same price (250k is about right, versus everything else); the Pagoda… well… that may be awhile. We didn’t want it out there, and definitely not at 40k coins… so we may wait some time on that before we figure out what to do with it.

Again, that’s all preliminary.

So, Did you get these items? And will you be upset if they remove these items from your farm when they let players keep the Black Stallions and Fox Kits released in the market for coins?
