You can now BUY CUPID CREDITS! (by Andres)

Hello Folks,

The #1 requested feature since launching the beautiful Virtual Gifts is finally here! If you don't have any friends to refer to the site in order to earn Cupid Credits, you can now BUY THEM with your Credit Card, so there's no excuse for not sending someone you like a nice gift and making them feel extra special! (Don't have a Credit Card? Still no excuse! Just get a prepaid one, like the "MoneyCard" at Walmart. :)

I chose to go with one of the leading Mobile Payment Processors called "BANGO" to handle your payments because they are 100% safe and secure and also specialize in Mobile Credit Card billing. What this means is that they require very little info to process your Credit Card (just the CC number, expiration, and CVC code on the back), which is really convenient when typing on your phone since you do not need to enter your name or billing address. Even better, if you connect through your Mobile Operator's Data Plan (not WiFi), they will automatically remember you every time you click to pay so that you don't have to re-enter your Credit Card number ever again and can pay with just one simple click, making it incredibly easy and convenient to pay every time!

Since the experts at Bango process your Credit Card payment, that means we don't have to store any of your payment details (making it both safer and more secure for you), which also means your payments will show up as coming from "BANGO.NET" on your statement (keep an eye for that in case you don't recognize the charge on your statement). After you pay, your Cupid Credits should be credited to your Dating.mobi account within just 20 seconds, and you will receive both a message in your Datinbox and to your e-mail address confirming that your Cupid Credits have been credited to your account.

The pricing is quite reasonable and is a balance between making them accessible to everyone and making them just expensive enough that receiving a Gift is still considered very "special", while providing us with funds to help support our mission to make people happier. The more Cupid Credits you buy in bulk, the bigger your savings. The minimum is 800 Cupid Credits, and here is the break down:
  • 800 Cupid Credits cost just $9.99, which allows you to send up to 10 gifts.
  • 1,600 Cupid Credits cost $18.98, which allows you to send up to 20 gifts while saving 5%.
  • 3,200 Cupid Credits cost $35.96, which allows you to send up to 40 gifts while saving 10%.
  • 6,400 Cupid Credits cost $67.93, which allows you to send up to 80 gifts while saving 15%.
  • 9,000 Cupid Credits cost $89.91, which allows you to send up to 112 gifts while saving 20%.

So if you definitely plan on sending lots of gifts to stand out from the crowd and really grab potential matches' attention, then definitely go for the 9000 since you'll save the most. Remember, sending Gifts automatically overrides any and all Contact Restrictions, so it's the perfect way to get anyone's attention.

Don't forget, you can also use your Cupid Credits to Rooster Block someone when you want their undivided attention. Until now, no one had earned enough Cupid Credits to Rooster Block another member, but that has just changed, so keep your eyes opened, as you could get Rooster Blocked at any moment!

Of course, purchasing Cupid Credits is entirely optional and you can still earn Cupid Credits at any time by referring friends (or anyone!) to the site, so you can do that for free if you don't want to pay, but it's going to require you to do some work to help spread the word.

You can buy Cupid Credits as often as you like, so go crazy, have fun, and let those delicious credits flow through your veins!

Thanks!

I still wish there was some way of earning cupid credits without money or refering users. Maybe getting one credit when you verify a pic. Pleeeeeaaaaase? Lol

Hi Admin

Just wondering , how about those members who reside outside the US and have no credit cards and no " Walmart " to purchase the money card ? Are there any options for us ?

I think you guys might have missed this post. :) What you guys are describing is an idea I had back in May that I called "Achievements". That feature is still on the drawing board, but seeing how there is more interest for it now, let me see what I can do about it after I launch the Premium version.

Please keep this site free.
I think you might have missed this post. The version of the site as it originally existed which has helped thousands find love will always be free.

Unfortunately, Credit/Debit Cards is the only option we can offer right now. Originally, I wanted to offer what's called Direct Carrier Billing which would have allowed us to put the charge directly on your mobile phone bill, and you would then pay it off however you pay your bill, making it really easy and convenient for you guys. However, after talking to several companies that offered that, we were told that you needed to be more established in order to connect directly with the carriers in that way, so we aren't able to offer it at this time. But as we grow and establish a healthy and proven track record of revenues, this should become an option in the future. That said, Credit/Debit Cards are by far one of the most popular payment methods around the world, so most people shouldn't have a problem making a payment. Worst case scenario, they can refer friends and earn Cupid Credits for free. :)

Will the achievements be part of the premium package? Or come before or after?
