@TheEmu Here where I live (Bologna, Italy) in these cases it is said: "Putòst che gnenta l'è mei putòst"
(which in English becomes something like: "Rather than nothing is rather better"......)

Certainly it is less attractive than its previous incarnations, but, in my opinion, it remains one of the best of the special offers - one of very few in which you have complete control over which cards you end up with and know beforehand how much it will cost to get them.

You get the best percentage refund, 20%, if you buy 5 cards that are equally priced and the best absolute value for the refund if you buy 5 expensive cards. But no matter which 5 cards you choose you effectively get one of them at no cost (ignoring for now the slight complication if you run out of credits before your 5th purchase).

To some extent, at least for some users, the previous versions of Cashback encouraged purchasing old, cheap, cards to get an expensive, 30 credit, card for free. The current version encourages either buying newer cards or buying 5 of the rarer more expensive cards if there are 5 left in the store for you to buy. But if you do that make sure that your purchases are properly sychronised - you do not want to accidently qualify for the refund after buying 4 expensive cards to get the refund for a cheaper card bought the day before.

@haja 👍👍👍

Ok @Wyldainmal I try everthing you said and it email registered. Now what I try anothe email and said the same thing.

The cashback is less attractive than before, but I have most of the cards I want so I don't care. One of the previous cashbacks I bought many cards and watched that the fifth card was the most expensive card. Lucky me.

👍👍👍👍😜

@haja 👍

Sorry Wildanimal, Cashback is getting less and less great.
Next time, when the discount will decrease again, will you again find a way to say how great it is?
You don't need to do it, do you?

O.K. Mais f0902 n'est pas encore publiée 😊 .OK. But f0902 is not yet released 😊

And f0899

Donc actuellement 39 cartes à un prix supérieur 😊
So currently 39 cards at a higher price 😊

here is the list, Using the price per card from a new user account.

So that Means it is even Less than 48 opportunities.

38 ou 39 cartes publiées d'après moi. J'ai un doute avec Sonya Blaze 0811, affichée plus chère dans le isworkshop, mais je l'ai obtenue au prix régulier lors de sa sortie.
38 or 39 maps published in my opinion. I have a doubt with Sonya Blaze 0811, displayed more expensive in the isworkshop, but I got it at the regular price when it was released.

@Philours

you're right, I forgot to scrub the list of the SEC cards
So that Means it is even Less than 48 opportunities.


I made the edit to my post
It is 41 opportunities.

@Wyldanimal Trop de calcul aujourd'hui 😊 Moi j'en ai 38 dans ma liste 😊 Et votre lien reprend des numéros de cartes qui sont des SEC.
@Wyldanimal Too many calculations today 😊 I have 38 in my list 😊 And your link shows card numbers which are SEC.

Et peut-être des cartes non encore publiées? And maybe unpublished maps?

There are 41 cards that have a higher than Regular Price.
So technically, if a member calculated it out, and waited, they would have had 41 opportunities
to take advantage of the old version of the Cash back offer.

I ran a spread sheet to find out, How Much the Difference is..
The Old Cash Back vs the Current Cash back...

if a member waited and then used the cash back to buy ALL 41 of the More Expensive cards
by Buying 4 regular priced cards Along with that card.

here is the list of the 41 cards

f0922|f0914|f0902|f0901|f0899|f0896|f0858|f0831|f0813|f0811|f0797|f0738|f0720|f0719|f0718|f0711|f0695|f0680|f0674|e1534|e1533|e1496|e1484|f0613|f0605|f0604|f0584|f0586|f0575|e1194|f0475|f0431|f0437|e1078|e0808|e0807|e0612|e0618|f0174|e0524|f0097

Edited: Scrubbed the list of the SEC and Coming Soon

When i reached the 500 cards i wanted to rent from my wishlist the cashback was going to be pivotal in how i acquired those cards, now...not so much.

"No math needed"
3 percentages to show discount is math. The classic way...not so much. lol

@Ullubu 👍

People are getting a card for FREE!

Ceci reste vrai car il y a bien une carte reboursée (la moins chère j'en conviens)

Je comprends et je compatis avec celles et ceux qui n'auraient pas suffisamment de crédits sur leur compte pour effectivement bénéficier du remboursement de la 5ième carte "la moins coûteuse" et ne pourraient ainsi donc pas bénéficier de cette opportunité commerciale.

Le Cash Back de la "5 moins moins", c'est bien MIEUX que RIEN !!!
=> Et c'est plutôt ça qu'il faut retenir.

Bouche à ... 😆

Something has gone seriously awry with the showroom.

It no longer seems possible to simply get a range of either iStripper or IStripper XXX cards in the way one was able to do until about a weeks ago.
The selected choice of New cards, Soon-To-Be-Released Cards, and Special Event Cards works, but does not seem to be finished as the 'Loading' circular icon continues ad-infinitum.

Is it possible to return to the previous version somehow?

+1. This is the feature I used most, setting a range. Just getting the circular loading icon. Different browsers the same.

😀😵😀👍👍👍

big discount for new cards when premium member

Unless things have changed at the end of the year everyone gets that new card discount you just have to wait.

I would say everything else is a really required to do buisness. Would people buy as many cards if you only got a single down? I would expect it to be less expensive then.

Additionally discounts and such are simply fairly good marketing. The person who thought of the tiers as an example should get some extra pats on the back as it will drive additional purchases for many.

People are getting a card for FREE!

Its actually a discount not for free. Its also a fairly sizeable change as the discount went from upwards of 30-35% down to capped at a max of 20%.

They can do what they wish and my bigger complaint remains not posting odds for games of luck. I have stopped playing these games outright. Also issues with what the games drop as a variety of cards are "worthless" since they have no ability to scale size based on resolution which makes older clips fairly poor quality when so large.

The first one buy 4 and get money for the 4th card back was great, this one is just okay.

... how great the savings is we are getting

I know, It's is Great !
Buy 5 cards, Get a Refund for the cost of the Least Expensive card of the 5.

20% Total discount off 5 cards of the same price.
100% discount of ONE card as part of 5 Cards of the same or different price.
50% discount off the New Trio card when purchased as part of 5 cards with 4 other cards of regular price.

No Math Needed
Just enjoy the Refund !

The Cash back is Given after the Purchase of Every 5th Card.
It started on Friday.
so From Friday, Every 5th card Purchased will trigger a Cash back.
This continues up till the end of the Offer.

After Every 5th card purchased, you get a refund for the Least Expensive Card of the 5 that were purchased.

It Does NOT matter when the 5 were purchased.
1 on Friday, 2 on Saturday, 1 Sunday, and then 5th on Sunday Evening. That will trigger the Cash back
or you Purchase 5 cards in a row, after Every 5th card purchased you get refunded the cost of the Least Expensive card.

Salut @Franckyt13
Je n'ai pas essayer le cash-back, mais suis pratiquement certain que cela se fait sur toute la durée de l'offre.😉

Hello,
the reimbursement of the 5th card is made on the purchase of 5 cards for the day or the week?
Thanks

I guess some members was planing on using cashback to get the Naughty Classmates card as the cashback card, sneaky - but I can't blame them for such a plan - .
You can Still use the Cash back offer and get the Naughty Classmates card for 50% discount.
Pay full price for 4 regular cards
Pay full price for the Naughty Classmates card
then get refunded the Price of One of the Regular Cards

which is 50% the cost of the Naughty Classmates card.

So you got the Naughty Classmates card for 50% off.

I should have been precise and have written "full cashback", so everyone would have understood the meaning of my words. Sorry. 😉

It's interesting how math is now required to show how great the savings is we are getting.

Instead of just giving the cashback from the last card purchased like before...with no math needed. lol

@Sexy3DBoy

To expand slightly on @Wyldanimal 's response.

There is a very big difference between getting one of the cards "for free" and getting a refund. The difference is that if you do not have enough credits to buy the final card then in order to benefit from the refund you have to give Totem real money - and rather more of it than the equivalent cost of a single card. The difference then shows up in the state of your bank account (and Totem's).

For those that buy often this will normally just be a ***** difference in the timing of purchasing credits but for others, particularly those that only buy infrequently, it can be very significant. In extreme cases if you can't afford to buy any new credits or are in some way prevented from doing so you can't get that 5'th card.

@Sexy3DBoy

I agree with your Final Accounting
If all 5 cards are the same price, then the Net result is
You got back the Cost of one of the cards and in Accounting Terms it ended up costing nothing.

But it was NOT FREE.

If you only have enough Credits to purchase 4 1/2 cards.
You can't purchase 4 cards and get the next one for No Credits.

You have to FULLY PAY for the 5th card.

You have to BUY all 5 Cards.

And that is the Difference

It is BUY 5 get refunded for the Least Expensive one.
Not
Buy 4 and the 5th one is free..

Sorry, yes I just figured that out. You are right.

Thanks,
Rich

@ADRD65
The Accounting of Cards purchased started on Friday.
So how many cards have your Purchased since the Start of Friday?

When you Reached the 5th Card Purchased, that activates the Cash Back.


here are the 5 cards that you got the cash back for

8 minutes ago Lana Lane / Boudoir Bounty Added to collection

I just purchased 5 cards, all at 13.75 and was only credited back 11 ?

once the high priced cards are not blocked when using gift cards it's fine.
i also ***** having to gamble for an SEC. they shoud be able to get some other way imo. maybe return to offering jokers instead of gift cards for first bar fill. but i can accept the odd high priced card. it is a business. if the odd high priced card gets me wylette take two i'll buy all of them.

I am a bunny and proud to be one. I was a bunny long before Lisa came on board.

I guess some members was planing on using cashback to get the Naughty Classmates card as the cashback card, sneaky - but I can't blame them for such a plan - Things have now changed to the cheapest card getting the cashback. No reason to ***** about that change. iStripper is still good value, regardless if there is a cashback or not.

WHO does NOT like saving 20% ! ??

If All 5 cards have the Same Purchase price, you are getting a 20% discount when you receive the refund for the 5th purchase.

If you include the New Release as one of the 5

You are getting a 50% discount off the New Trio Card !

here is the math:

5 cards at 25 credits = 125 credits
Refund of 25 credits.
Total for the 5 cards after the refund = 100 credits.
1 - (100 / 125 ) = .20 or
20% Discount

4 cards at 25 credits, Plus 1 card at 50 credits = 150 credits
Refund of 25 credits = 50% off the Trio card
Total for the 5 cards after the refund = 125 credits
1 - (125 / 150 ) = .1666 or
16.7% Discount overall

The Discounts are the Same for All iStripper Levels..
.
.
Even if your Price was 1 credit per card

5 cards at 1 credit = 5 credits
Refund of 1 credit.
Total for the 5 cards after the refund = 4 credits.
1 - (4 / 5 ) = .20 or
20% Discount

if one of the cards is Double the Price

4 cards at 1 credit, Plus 1 card at 2 credits = 6 credits
Refund of 1 credit or 50% discount of the higher priced card
Total for the 5 cards after the refund = 5 credits
1 - (5 / 6 ) = .1666 or
16.7% Discount overall

The Discount works out the same for ALL iStripper Levels.

La 5ième c'est du GRATIS!

Non, la moins chère des 5 cartes achetées sera remboursée 😊
No, the cheapest of the 5 cards purchased will be refunded 😊

The Current Promotion is NOT a Free card.
It must be very clear that it is NOT a FREE card..

ON S'EN FOUT! Qu'il faut avoir les crédits pour acheter 5 cartes CAR au final il nous en coûte que le prix de 4 cartes!!!!

Tu peux jouer sur les mots, MOI je résonne avec mes crédits dépensés pointBarre! La 5ième c'est du GRATIS!

If you are familiar with "desk babes" then you might have had an account back then. If you had an account back then and purchased cards, you should do some work to find the account number and such. The purchases you made are still yours, if you can find the account information.

I usually reloaded credits whenever cashback was happening. But now they are making it more and more unappealing with each time. Thank you Totem for saving my money that i would otherwise have spent on reloads.

Exactly 😕

In the past I was checking iS every day for news, updates, etc.
Now it's 1 or 2 weeks, because of reasons like this.

@Philours
is correct.

The Current Promotion is NOT a Free card.
It must be very clear that it is NOT a FREE card..

A Member MUST have enough credits to complete the purchase all 5 Cards.
and that is the Important Difference.

all 5 cards must 1st be purchased.
Then After the Purchase of the 5th card.
A refund is made in the Amount of Credits of the Lowest Priced Card.

It is a REFUND AFTER purchasing the 5th card.

The Final Net results might be the same.
But there is an Important difference on how that is accomplished.
and yes it matters.

Hi, my last expensiv card was the one with 30credits from Friday. But I got as refund only 15credits. Can you please check this? Many thanks
You get the money for the least expensive one, not the last expensive one, so for the cheapest card you buy.

My bad, missed it :) many thanks

Recevoir quelque chose gratuitement implique pour moi que vous ne devez rien faire pour obtenir ce quelque chose. ce qui n'est pas réellement le cas ici. Sur le plan comptable, si vous voulez 😊 Mais il ne faudrait pas induire certains membres en erreur. Et si vous pouvez vous permettre de dépenser sans compter, alors la vie est belle en plus d'être courte 😀 Je vous la souhaite néanmoins longue 😉

Les gens reçoivent une carte GRATUITEMENT!

Ceci est vrai car la 5ième carte sur un plan comptable est totalement gratuite. On ne dépense aucun crédit pour l'obtenir et de plus on peut la choisir, alors!

Maintenant il est aussi vrai de dire qu'on achète plus de cartes qu'initialement prévu tenant compte de cette incitation commerciale. Perso je ne m'en plains pas j'achète plein de cartes non prévues et comme l'argent est fait pour être dépensé et que la vie est courte, alors!
😆

Just to confirm, VR shows do not count as cards for cashback, correct?

Confirmed.

Where do you see lots of users *****, I only see a very small number of people *****. There may well be a large number of people who are unhappy about it, but only a tiny fraction of the users make any post at all on any subject let alone a complaint.
