End Of Summer Blowout!

Share:

In addition to getting 50% off of Reward Points, the Marketplace is also having a End Of Summer Blowout .  This was announced on The Zynga Forum Boards by Blue-Eyed Nate, Community Manager and you will get hit with a bunch of pop-ups when you visit the Marketplace.  We will have a chance to buy 5 Limited Edition items and 50% of the proceeds will go to FATEM to help build a school in Haiti.
TechCrunch estimates that Zynga will bring in $240 Million in revenue this year.  Why only 50%?  With that much money, you would think they could just build a couple of Haiti Schools and not even miss it.  I would feel better about buying these items if I knew 100% of the proceeds was going to a good charity.
If you visit the Marketplace, you will get plastered with pop-ups.
In addition to the Limited Edition Charity Loot items you can buy out right, you also can also get loot items for filling your Marketplace purchase mastery bar.  This promotion is similar to the ones we saw on Memorial Day and Forth of July.  Each purchase you make brings you one step closer to getting a loot item.  Treasure chest keys, 1 Extra Mafia Member, Health Refills, Fight Club items and Loyalty Program items DO NOT qualify towards the mastery event.  The Charity items will also count.    
The following loot items are awarded for the 1st, 5th, and 10th purchases.

  1. If we buy a bundle with 3 items, do they count as three also in the bar counter?
