All upgraded member levels come with monthly bonuses. Credits and impressions that come with the monthly upgrade are added the first time of each new month you log in as an upgraded member. This means that if you upgrade in the middle of the month, you will get your credits the first time you log in directly after you upgrade. But you will also get another monthly bonus when you log in the following month, since your upgrade is still active.
If you chose to continue your upgrade and extend it in the middle of the month, the next monthly bonus will be added when you log in the first time of the following month. This is because you already claimed the monthly bonus as an upgraded member the current month. This means you will not immediately get the monthly bonus when you extend your upgrade, but it will be added the first time you log in when the month changes. We decided to do it this way to give out more bonus advertising, since we sell both one time upgrades and subscriptions.
All upgraded members receive a set amount of credits each month. Silver members get 250 credits, Gold members and Super Advertisers get 500 credits. On top of that, all upgraded members also get to chose Upgrade Spices the first time they log in each consecutive month they are upgraded. The spices are extra credits, a higher surf ratio or impressions for banners, square banners, text ads and mini branders.
The extra surf ratio comes in 5 levels. Silver members can select to increase their surf ratio with 0.01 credits per click each time. Gold members and Super Advertisers can select to increase their surf ratio with 0.02 credits per click each time.
The extra bonus credits and impressions of all other ad types come in 10 levels. Silver members can select to increase their monthly credit bonus with 50 credits each time, or any other type of ad impressions with 50 each time. Gold members and Super Advertisers can select to increase their monthly credit bonus with 100 credits each time, or any other type of ad impressions with 100 each time. If a member has been upgraded for so long that they have filled all levels of extra monthly bonuses (a total of 55), they can select a one time bonus credit prize instead.
