I am sorry to bother and this is probably a stupid question to be asking, but I bought one of the resistance wave 2 packs and I know 60 days of premium time but what does it mean by BANKED?

[Appogee]

It means you can activate it when you want. Ie. it doesn't automatically start the day you receive it, as Premium Time usually does,

[Void Angel]

Yeah, it means that it's not counting down, and you can activate it a month at a time if you desire, when you desire.

To add to the posts above:
Banked premium time can be activated 30 days (a month) at a time - but only in 30 days steps. There's no half month, 10 days, 1 1/2 month, two weeks, 1 day or what not. 30 days is the only option. And when a 30 days chunk is activated it can't be stopped / paused.

And banked premium time has to be activated here on the mwo site, not ingame. (Log in on the web site, go to your profile, and there you should find your total hours (!) of banked premium time, with a clickable text nex to it to activate 30 days)

Read this. Read it again.

In game if you activate, it'll be all you have banked. On site, 30 day chunks. Key.

Just to reiterate on the above post:

To activate it from the website go to your profile and there will be a button to activate 30 days of premium time.

[TheCaptainJZ]

To reiterate, if you activate it in-game, it will activate ALL your banked time (for some players with more banked, that is half a year or more!) with NO way to pause it or stop it. ONLY on the website can you activate it in chunks.

Also, note that if you buy premium time separately from one of those pre-order packages, it will not be banked, instead counting down immediately from buying it. Banked time and active time are kept separate, so if you have 60 days banked, for example, and you have a vacation coming up, you could buy a week's worth of premium time in-game in the store (or gift store on the site even), it will activate immediately (or when you use the gift code), but your 60 days banked will stay banked for later use.

I have a secondary question to go with this thread. I bought the Resistance II pack as well, but the Premium time has not appeared. Do I have to wait until after I get the mechs in like 3 months before I get the Premium Time too??

Delivery dates are all here. Looks like you get some this afternoon!

[Rogue Jedi]

You get the monthly rewards when we pass the deadline but other rewards are usualy delivered when the last Mech in the pack is
