    If I understand you correctly, the gain is additional BB?

    3300 * 1.19 = 3927BB/$50 = 78.54BB/$1

    3300*1.15=3795 BB/ $47.99 = 79.08 BB/$1

    Do you get the same 360 extra BB with purchase of both these packages?

    You asked about a percentage gain, to which pnp did the math. Adding 360 to both of those numbers will not change the result of which deal is better. Only the # of BB/$1 will change.

    I'm thinking you might need to actually ask support that question. I know the mods can't answer anything regarding purchases and tend to refer people to support. I'm assuming your talking about the BB bonus you get when purchasing and as far as I know it's based on the amount of BB's not the purchase price. Again you should really ask support as only they would know the correct answer.

    tiageorge,

    If I understand you right (I'm actually guessing what you mean), you're seeing the same offers I see.

    The one with the 19% is actually US$ 50 for 2770BBs + a bonus of 530 BBs, which total 3300 BBs -or, in other words, 19% more BBs-.

    The one with the 15% is actually US$ 47,99 for 3300 BBs, and they refer the 15% as a discount on what you should pay normally for the same amount of BBs.

    (I know it doesn't make any sense, but the way it's written is certainly deceitful).

    As puppiesnponies has already explained, beyond any doubt, it's more convenient the second one: same amount of BBs (3300) for US$ 2,01 less.

    I think the bonus you mention is the one that comes along when you pay with a credit card: 10% more BBs. And, yes, both purchases will come with the same 330 BBs additional bonus. Therefore, no doubts, go for the US$ 47,99 one. You get 3 BBs more per US$ spent (as compared to the US$ 50 one).

    But if you reside where I think you reside, only for that country, take into account paying for the US$ 50 option with DineroMail (not available for the US$ 47,99 offer) instead of paying with a credit card, translates into paying much less for each BB in local currency terms, even without getting the 330 BBs bonus (funny enough, for BigPoint there's no difference: they get the same). Needless to say, I always choose this option and forget the credit card.
