There is a new gimmick on the Home Page. They are calling it “Pick Your Own Bundle!”. You can find it in the Marketplace or on the Home Page.
The concept is you can pick 3 items from a selection of stuff and then convert it into a bundle. The benefit if you fall for it is you get 20% off the purchase of whatever the three items you choose.
The 12 items available are shown below. I was unable to add the same item 3 times but many commented that they could. I'll try on a different account. Once you choose, you can’t go back.
Once you choose your items, the adjusted price will show up on your purchase button. I wasn’t about to purchase this so I don’t know if you are able to do it more than once. Maybe if we could choose the skill points 3 times I would have been tempted but buying loot with reward points is not a good investment.
As far as I can tell, this is just another gimmick created by Zynga to get you to spend your hard earned reward points. Mike Nester had a different type of discount on his Home Page banner. You would think Zynga could get it right when a feature involves spending reward points!
You can pick your friends and you can pick your bundle but you can’t pick your friends bundle! Don’t be fooled by Zynga, things aren’t always as good as they make them out to be.

Can choose same 3 items actually.
ReplyDeletePick your own bundle @ 20% off - I picked 3x 8 skill points and costing me 84RP. ok, 66rp after the discount. still a big rip off!
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy but I was able to pick 3 of the same item including the 8 skill points.
ReplyDeleteI'll wait till the 60% offer does its rounds again and buy a few e-cards, but thx for the info :D
ReplyDeleteOnly reason I even did this, was because I could select 8 skill points on all 3.. Yea it's still kind of a rip off, but adding 24 skill points was kind of fun.. :-)
