Hi all!
Did you read my blog post about
Reward Points 40% Discount?
There I was buying 42 RPs for US$6.00
Not helping me much on upgrading my Loyalty Points bar at Emerald level..
While Veron use this opportunities more than I can spend on buying RPs..
Finally she got her Platinum Member and got this award!
Here is the reward for becoming a Platinum Member!
It's her best Attack weapon now..
Congratulations, Veron...
Ok, here are her benefits as Platinum player...
Watch out, Veron... You might lose your membership if you don't continue maintaining your status. The requirement is to earn minimum of 400 LP per month!
(You can count how many RPs we should spend now, my friends.. Only for a Credit Card or PayPal player!)
And she is eligible now to use her Loyalty Points on the Loyalty Points Loot program to buy these 3 items (which is still locked for me an Emerald Player).
Can not imagine myself as Platinum Member.. I wish I could afford it..
PS : Thanks for sharing with us, Veron
This feature is a dedicated special to Credit Card player!
But we can have it randomly from the game as Emerald, Gold or Platinum member.. someone even mention there is a Diamond member!
Let's say you are chosen as a Gold Member (even if you NEVER buy Reward Points on your account).. You can have benefits as a Gold Member.. not sure what the benefits are, but I don't want to discuss it furthermore..
Apparently there is a limit of time if you have chosen to become Gold member! Once you ignore the suggestion to add more Loyalty Points (in other words, you have to buy some amount of Reward Points), you will be downgraded to lower level ie Emerald member!
What a funny feature..
One of our friend Davo experiences this and now he has this pop up on his game suggesting him to earn more Loyalty Points this month to regain his Gold status!
He only says, "NEVER!".
Well, you don't have to worry about this feature. Just ignore it and let Credit Card players spend their bucks..
Thanks for sharing, Davo!
I don't really care about the Loyalty Program from Zynga... It's definitely not for me..
But in case lots of you are curious about this, you can read the info here given by -Ra-, hope it helps..
Many MW players are confused about this new Loyalty Program feature, specially that they can get point upgrade to the loyalty bar and increase their tier without paying real life money. I have mailed Zynga about this, here is my question(s) and their reply.
Q. I saw this message "Purchase Reward Points or play to increase your mastery" so it means other than spending money we can also get loyalty points from playing, then how much we have to play to get 1%/5% on the loyalty program bar?
And if you check the record many have spent good amount of money on Mafia Wars in past but they are still Emerald tier Player(s), doesn't our past purchase counts towards this new loyalty program? Since its about loyalty shouldn't Zynga be also loyal to those players who spent money on this game in past too and give them bonus so that they feel better and maybe they will spend more in future.
A. I understand you're inquiring about the New Mafia Wars Loyalty Program.
Let me inform you that the new program has several tiers: Emerald, Gold, and Platinum. You will earn loyalty points (LP) as you play more or spend more. You earn LP when you purchase reward points, play Mafia Wars, or click on Mafia Wars feeds and requests that your friends post to offer you bonuses. (Note: this is the 10 LP bonus we can get when someone publish their tier or tier upgrade post, we can get 10 LP every 24 hours, ONLY IF SOMEONE POST IT IN OUR MAFIA FAMILY)
You start as an Emerald Player or with a more elite status depending on your loyalty to Mafia Wars. You can achieve a higher status and earn better privileges the more you spend or the more you play.
We currently released the Loyalty Program to a small percentage of our users. Later this week we will roll out this feature to everyone when we can ensure a smooth transition. We value your loyalty as a Mafia Wars fan and are thrilled to provide you with the privileges and rewards you deserve.
Hope this information helps out and that you keep enjoying Mafia Wars!!
Kind regards,
xxxxxxx.

MW will be starting a double mastery event later today. This gives double mastery for jobs, not double loot drops.
Well, he didn't or simply don't want to answer release information on how much we have to play to get say 1% increase in our loyalty program bar, because like many other mafia wars player I too simply dont want to spend real life money on this game. And in Emerald tier we only get 1 LP for every US$ we spend now thats robbery.

I have to agree with -Ra-..
The information given above are simply pasted from Zynga thread.. and you have to be a very rich person who spend lots of bucks to get the upgrade from Emerald member, to become Gold and then Platinum member!
However I know that some of players are being chosen to become Gold or Platinum randomly (perhaps looking at the history of their bills on Zynga records).
For other info you can also check on the official blog..

Here is the image of Gold and Platinum mastery weapon sent by Danny..
And here is from Mafia Wars Wiki..
Speechless.. but let's just skip this one!
Thanks for sharing, -Ra- and also Danny for the screenshot! Thanks to Mafia Wars Wiki for the screenshot of mastery items!
Well well well.. this is a special event for Credit Card player!
We will have Reward Point Blowout Sale!
You are able to buy RPs up to 50% off this 16th and 17th September..
The perfect chance to be a Gold or Platinum member!
You will see this pop up message on your game :
I see one comment there saying that it is not worth to try to upgrade your membership to Gold or Platinum.. since we have to buy TONS of Reward Points before we can move to the higher level...
Guess they are really pushing the limit now.. I don't think lots of people will buy with the bugs occur everywhere, but who knows there are lots of rich people who love to make Zynga executives smile..
PS : Thanks Hayden and somebody on the comment section..
