There is truth to the title of this sale. When you accidentally collect, your reward point balance is destroyed! I hear Customer Support is no longer crediting players with reward points and it’s ridiculous that Zynga hasn’t added a confirmation method to these purchases. I posted about this problem over 3 weeks ago and players continue to click on them by accident.
It’s easy to do because the Home Page Current Events Module is not static. It switches modules and if your mouse is in the wrong spot at the wrong time, you will be “rewarded” with your very own Collectable Stat Card. I verified that a confirmation was not in place and received a useless Collectable Stat Card for 12 reward points.
It’s quite sad that the good news about these cards going on sale is that players will save reward points for accidental clicks and not that it’s a good value. Collectable Stat Cards, even at 20% off, are not a good deal (1). Many Players who paid full price like I did are still trying to get their loot items. It’s more frustration than it’s worth (1). You’re still better off spending your reward points on crafting timer speed builds. In the example above, I got +2 energy and +2 health. I can spend the same amount of reward points and get +6 energy or +20 health. Until these cards offer something better than overpriced skill points and virtually unattainable loot items, they won’t be popular.
I don’t know how long Collectable Stat Cards will be on sale or if every player will receive the offer. Two of my accounts don’t have it.

At how much of a discount will these be a good deal?
