Any Premium Time you purchase with MC is activated immediately. Your banked time stays banked when you do this.

FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THIS, I REPEAT:

Yes, I know this for a fact.

Why the hell would he buy a day of premium time for full price when he already have 95days ?

No seriously I'm in the same position, I could buy some premium time and make good use of it, but I consider buying something you already have is just silly. Its like having good tire for your car in your garage and you never use them you just buy new tire so you dont have to use the one that you keep, they just sit in your garage being useless.

My english isnt great so I'm not actually sure I properly express my though. :/

I wrote a thread a LONG time ago asking that we get to use our banked premium time in chunks. I have 95 days saved up and have no plans to flip the switch since you can't unflip it. I would use it 24hr chunks though and would probably end up ACTUALLY buying more if I was allowed to use what I have in a reasonable manner. Just throwing it all away in one flip of a switch is dumb though.

Little things like this is what is losing PGI money. They think they are being smart by making you use all your premium time up so that you will buy more, but it just isn't true. You get ppl like me that hoard it because we are too scared to use it, and then you get ppl like the OP who use it and then get PO'ed when PGi released a bad patch and now won't purchase more in the future.

If PGI treated the community with the slightest amount of respect and intelligence, they would be raking in more money than they are now.

I agree, while I'm glad I did flip it this summer before the cbill nerfs, I would have love to be able to use it in scaled blocks:

So you buy 1 month of premium time... you can use it for a full month all at once...

Or cash it in for 1 day now at the cost of 3 days off your month.

Or cash it in for 2 days now at the cost of 5 days off your month

Or cash it in for 7 days now at the cost of 10 days off your month

ect... increment it however makes sense.

I would have gotten a lot more efficient use of my premium time, but I'd still be paying more for it effectively than the base rate.... but I'd probably buy it as I tend to play in blocks of a day or two or a week, but almost never a month. It's not worth my cash to pay for a month when I'm going to use it 2 days a week.
