Opal I suspect your second offer no longer had Day One. This is a diminishing offer as the days go on. I was offered the $100 US version and looked at the higher number days. Included was Christmas Wonder and many other talismans that I would probably never earn on my own. And the total number of rubies really adds up. But I'm unlikely to drop $100 on anything in a lump sum.

I'm not someone to harp on fairness. I don't expect that everyone will get the same offer at the same price. I don't expect to pay the same for apples as people in Washington state. And any apple I get is not near the same quality as Washington apples in season. I know there are physical and biological factors in apple offers that dont apply to SN. But i also dont expect MT to pitch my $100 offer that thy know i can afford to people who have never contributed more than occasional $5. Would it be more fair if they changed the name of the offer so the $5 version doesn't sound like the $100 version? Why? An off season Gala apple I'm Missouri is named the same as one in season in Washington? Is it unfair that some are offered the $100 version and some are not? I hit X on enough offers that I don't want to have to wade through the $5, $10, $50, $1000, $2000 versions, thank you.

As I have said before, I need to see the definition of 'fair' that others are using before I can really get into this but individualizing marketing to different players does not strike me as unfair. It is just reasonable marketing.
