Gift points dissappear!?

[N_Faker]

I am very confused then, because I know I had over 600 giftpoints.....

You have no translations and 97 'first wins'. That should then amount to 485points(97*5).

Have you referred anyone?

Okay, that's very strange though because I could have sworn I had just over 600. I am very, very confused now. I certainly do apologize if I was wrong about my numbers.

I still want to know when this change happened and how people who have played a lot of games can earn more. I've already told all my friends about BGA and had them sign up, so the referral program wouldn't work for me.

I'm confused because when I went through my history and added together all of the +5 gift points, I came up with 520. But BGA showed I only had 420. Maybe there is something off in the conversion. 20 of the points were from after the change happened. 2020-12-03: Initial balance +400 (400 used). So why wasn't it 500 as it shows in my history?

[Edit]
I bet my missing 100 was from getting a month of premium in the past. Oops!

Oh, also, what's currently showing is "465" despite me never spending any yet

What about alpha games? I have many of my +5 gift points from alpha games. If they don't count, that could explain the 100 points discrepancy.

2 of them were comments. So -10 at least.

I think they will disappear: each set of points, 1 year exactly after being won (if not used in that 1 year).
From the thread i see the player above posted, i see this time limit appeared in 2016.
I don't know if they announced it somewhere officially, but I also had no idea.

I am not sure how you got 2016? That above thread was posted in February of this year

Yes, sorry... So the change of expiring gift points started, not in 2016, but in 2021.

YYYY-MM-DD

This MM-DD-YYYY system is very illogical, IMO. Why would someone not go from small to big, in writing dates?
And write the day between the month and the year... geeh.

Anyway...
