Pretty much what the title says, as far as I know the absolute best way of maximising credits to card ratio(Without any elements of RNG involved) is to wait for the year end 100 Dollar offer of 1320 credits(It sometimes also happens at other times as well albeit rarely, like during the Chinese New Year period this if I'm not wrong) and wait for a Cashback event.

I choose to wait till the 100 Dollar Option instead of the 50 Dollar Bonus Option(Which is the one where you get 600 credits for those who don't know) because you get an extra 120 credits for the same amount of money spent. That's around 5 to 9 cards worth of credits depending on your rank.

I recall seeing a similar discussion on the forums before but for the life of me I can't seem to find it again so I thought I might as well create my own forum topic on the matter. So, do you guys have any other tips to maximising credits bought? I am especially interested in knowing the absolute best way to do this if you include RNG elements like the Slot Machine Event, Scratch Card Event et cetera. Thanks in advance guys.

I don't know a better method than what you described. I think that combining the 1100 credits package + Reload bonus (+20% on each reload) and then waiting for the Cashback promo is the best option.

In addition, if you don't buy cards selectively and strive to buy the entire available collection, it is worth looking at the "Progressive Booster Packs", where you can buy a set of 10 cards with a discount of up to 70% or even 100% (yes, a set of 10 shows that you can add to your collection for free).

Could you elaborate on that a little please lukaszr? A quick Google search shows the Progressive Booster Pack TGIF page from September 6, 2019 but it only says from 20 to 56 percent off aside form the redraw for 1 credit. Does this mean that different Progressive Booster Packs are different in the amount of discounts they give, and also might not come with the option of redrawing?

And if so, what is the highest amount of discount that you have seen for this particular Event? Both the minimum and maximum? Granted, since you've said 100 percent I can infer as much but still curious about the minimum and whether or not they are both in the same event.

"Progressive Booster Packs" and "Redraw Booster Packs" are two different promotions. I don't remember when the "Progressive Booster Packs" promotion was last active, but I remember that the 10th package could be bought with a discount of 70%. However, I am sure that during the last Black Friday the last package could be "purchased" with 100% discount (effectively, you get the 10th pack for free).

Ah I see. So they are both the same Event with the exception of one having a redraw option... Still, a 16 percent discount cut off for the option of a redraw sounds reasonable though not for me since I'm still in the 'get as many cards' as I can' phase of a iStripper member's life cycle, hehehe.

OK, now that that's cleared up, I still have one question. Do you remember the minimum discount for the Progressive Booster Pack? As in, the discount for the first pack since I may be stating the obvious but the packs reset's after the tenth one right? So I would like to know if the minimum discount is good enough for me to risk the ***** trials of RNGesus. And I may also eventually try and get the '500 cards in one day' achievement, since I got the '100 cards' one retroactively, and have relatively fewer cards compared to the veterans of iStripper.

Also, what is your personal experience of the cards in the Booster Packs? Are there a lot of older cards mixed in or do you think that the balance is just right?

So they are both the same Event with the exception of one having a redraw option...

Actually yes.

Do you remember the minimum discount for the Progressive Booster Pack?

I can't be sure but i think that the standard edition of "Progessive Booster Pack" gives you 10% discount for the first pack. What I'm 100% sure is that the Black Friday edition gave me 20% (i checked my account history). Attached image can be the proof of what I said about 100% discount for the 10th pack. This is part of my acount history. It shows the day when I bought the 10th pack for 0 credits.

the packs reset's after the tenth one right?

Old editions of "Progressive B.P." did not have this option. The Black Friday edition did not have it either. I am not sure about the last edition. Regarding the "Redraw B.P." - the last edition allowed the purchase of an unlimited (theoretically) number of packages, so after buying the tenth one could start again.

what is your personal experience of the cards in the Booster Packs?

In fact, the Black Friday edition was the only edition where I purchased all ten packages. I can say that the shows were mixed up, ranging from older shows (720p) through slightly newer (1080p), but there were also many newer cards (3K).

Ah, OK. So the Progressive Booster Pack is limited to a one time 10 pack purchase then? Good to know, I didn't know that because I had never bought a Progressive Booster Pack before. Sorry about all the questions but hey, we might as well make this thread comprehensive enough for most people who have the same questions right?

One final question, are the cards in each card pack visible to the buyer in Progressive Booster Pack or even the Redraw Version for that matter? Thanks for all the help lukaszr.

So the Progressive Booster Pack is limited to a one time 10 pack purchase then?

In the older editions - yes. In the latest edition - I don't remember.

are the cards in each card pack visible to the buyer?

Yes, all the cards are visible, so you will see what you'll get.

OK, thanks again lukaszr. I wonder if the other users here have other opinions of what we discussed...

Scratch Cards? Would you mind elaborating gkar45? And what's a SEC?

Scratch Cards?

Click on the Featured Tab and Choose Scratch Game.

And what's a SEC?

Go to the Girls Store and set the Filter from all (or whatever was set by yourself)
and choose Special Event Card's, here is an Example.

Ah, I meant by why does gkar45 think that Scratch Games are good in terms of efficiency. As for SEC, I was ***** a bit by the acronym but I get it now and I have a few myself. Thanks Stanston.
