I just started playing MWO 2 days ago, I never got my premium time after my first 25 battles in the trial mechs, hell I didn't get any after about 60 battles, I thought that maybe you had to own your mechs so I got 2 (1 Lite and 1 Medium) and still no button in the Mech Lab to buy premium time

You don't receive premium time you receive a lump sum of eight million c-bills to be spent on your choice of mech and equipment.

Premium time is purchased by using MC in game. MC is obtained with real money via the website.

Not entirely sure I'm answering the question you're asking, but I'll give it a try. First of all, can you confirm for me that you have purchased "MC" (you paid real-world dollars or the appropriate currency for your country of residence).

If yes, then after you log in to the game, at the top you should see Home, Mechlab, Skills, Faction and a yellow Store.

Go to the Store. Inside the Store on the left you should see Boosters. Click on Boosters. You should see some hour-glasses with Buy buttons underneath.

If you have not purchased "MC", you can do so here from the website. At the top of this page you should see . Click it.

Hopefully that helped.

What has been said before. The cadet bonus is in the form of c-bills (which was the bonus you would have gotten after your first 25 matches), and which is the in-game currency earned after every match. MC are purchased via real money and can then be exchanged for premium time or other things.

Many thanks, I had made my Cbills on the cadet part fine and not long after I put up that post I found the spot in the lab store to buy the premium time.........Again many thanks

There used to be a free 2 hr offer for premium time available to all players on the website. If you click the "Download Now" again and go to that page, then click the download button but cancel saving the file, the page will reload with 3 boxes appearing underneath the download button. One is an offer for 2 hrs of premium time. Or at least it used to be. (It actually used to be a full 24 hrs back long ago.)

Actually, you get your cadet bonus throughout your first 25 matches. They changed it so that it's now linked to the achievement system, so the ~8 mil is divided up into 25 chunks and you get one after each match. No more single lump sum at the end of the 25.

It was 24 hours last I knew, and it went away around the new year.

it still offers 24hrs of premium time but you have to redeem it then activate it in game.
