Hi, Marian!
I received points for my Game Club Credits, but I also had 1 unused Punch Card Coupon and I can't seem to find the points for that. Did you have any outstanding Punch Card Coupons that you haven't redeemed yet and, if so, were they included in your total points because I thought they were supposed to be converted into points as well?
Thanks.
Susan

ok, just had a quick look, first of all the monthly payment for me has changed from $6.99 Canadian to $8.99, not too happy about that. Also I can't find the list of all the HO games from A to Z that were on the HO page when you scrolled down. I think I will use up the points I have & cancel my acct. I'm enjoying playing my old bf games anyway. I wasn't happy when they cancelled the walkthroughs last year.

I'm assuming that they have a lot of kinks to work out and it will take some time. That is my approach too, ob. I had a couple of application error messages when I was trying to page far ahead/far back in my Purchase History. Big Fish is actually referring to this as Phase One of the updating of the system, so I not going to render a decision about my liking it or not until the dust has settled. Big Fish had a total of nine websites in nine different countries prior to today - now, all the foreign countries/languages have been absorbed into this one. I did read that the prices for the Game Club membership for overseas users were going to fluctuate based on the current exchange rate.

Hi, Judith!
If you log onto your account and change the currency from U.S. Dollars to Canadian dollars, it will show 899 points for every Game Club Credit you had before the conversion. I thought the same thing as you because my points were in U.S. dollars but my payment was in Canadian dollars. Once I made the change, my points increased from 699 to 899 for each Game Club Credit. When your monthly payment goes through, you should receive 899 points.

Hi, Marian! Now why didn't I think to do a practice run ![lol lol](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/lol.gif) ! I only have 1 Punch Card Coupon and it expires on August 18, so I'll find a SE and try the code to see if it works before then. I was under the impression that it would be converted to points but, if there's a box for codes, I guess they changed their mind. I'm wondering if the code box is for BOGOs and sales and the points box is for full price purchases. You're welcome for the info about U.S. dollars vs. Canadian dollars. My initial reaction was the same as Judith's but, when I changed the currency from U.S. to Canadian, the points remained the same but the dollar value increased. Susan

Regarding coupon codes, I see this: "Coupon codes will no longer be needed to receive discounts during sales. The discounted price will be automatically reflected in the shopping cart during the checkout process." From here: https://bigfishgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/7301760292635Marian, where does it show the number of games you have purchased? I don't see that. And the page info at the bottom is all wonky to me.

Well, mine does not show that. On my new account it shows (on the last page of 3) "Items 21 to 25 of 25 total" This is not an accurate number. There should be 140 games in the new account. The old account shows (on the first page) 1 to 10 of 98 total which of course is way, way off. It should be in the 800's somewhere. And that's what I meant when I said the page info at the bottom is all wonky. On the right of the page for how many to show per page, that is also not correct at all. Kinks to be worked out I hope!
To be clear, it does list more games than those numbers indicate. I think the new account is correct but I'm not counting the old one.

I have a question about the recent BF reorganization of how our purchased games are listed. The list of games we purchased used to be a fairly straightforward alphabetical list. If you decided to replay a game, it was a quick and easy process to scroll down through the alphabet, find the title you sought and download the game. The recent change, organizing games by Date of Purchase, has made it pretty difficult to find a game by its title unless you happened to keep track of the exact date on which you bought it. I wanted to download Nearwood for a replay today, but can no longer find it on my list of purchased games. ![frown frown](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/frown.gif)
