There are many benefits of upgrading your account in Hungry For Hits. You will earn more commissions and credits from your referrals, you can advertise more sites, you have a shorter surf timer and earn more credits when you view ads in surf, and there are extra prizes in the surf games for upgraded members. There are 3 upgraded member levels; Silver member, Gold member and Super Advertiser, and you can compare member levels here.
We offer all of them except for the Super Advertiser as 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 month upgrades. The Super Advertiser is not always available, and only comes with a 1 month option. You can find the different options under Account - Upgrade. The Piggy Bank options on the upgrade pages come as a subscription with Piggy funds, which you can cancel at any time on the Piggy Bank page under the Account menu. It will cancel automatically if you don't have funds in your Piggy Bank on the renewal date.
You can fund your Piggy Bank with a Card payment, Bank transfer, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Coinbase, Wise, or Advanced Cash through the Piggy Bank. You can also buy Piggy Bank funds in Hungry For Hits with Gold through the Food Game, or transfer Piggy Bank funds from the Food Game, Harvest Traffic or Finest Traffic. If you want to buy single month or year upgrade with Piggy Bank funds without a subscription, go to the Candy Shop.
At the end of the page there are one time purchases available, but only free members can purchase these. There are also Short Account Boosts under the Upgrade menu, which will give your account a shorter timer and more credits per click in surf for 1, 3 or 7 days, but they don't have all the benefits of the monthly/yearly upgrades.
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 1000 credits 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 bonus credits will be added when you log in the first time of the following month. This is because you already claimed the 1000 bonus credits as an upgraded member the current month. This means you will not immediately get the credits when you extend your upgrade, but they 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 credits, since we sell both one time upgrades and subscriptions.
When your upgrade runs out, your account status will go back to free member, and all benefits of being upgraded will be removed. You can see when your upgrade expires on the Account Settings page or the Account Statistics page under the Account menu. Should you miss out on extra prizes or commissions because you forgot to purchase or activate an upgrade, the extra prizes or commissions will not be added to your account retroactively.
Please note that if you have a Silver or Gold upgrade and you buy a higher level upgrade, you would automatically return to being a free member after the new upgrade expires. Typically we do not allow changing the upgrade if you are already upgraded because of this, as it's a feature built into the script. However, if you are a lifetime upgraded member and have bought a higher upgrade for a period of time, be sure to contact support once the upgrade is over for us to manually change you back to your original lifetime member level, as the script can't handle this automatically.
