Anyone else got 2650?? Something doesn't add up here....
As has been suggested by a couple of people there was a free month given to those who achieved lvl 50 or legacy lvl 10 by a certain date. Due to restarting on different servers a couple of times and my altitis I did not reach this in time. If you did receive that free month then I guess you don't get points for it as it isn't a paid month.

Regarding the 200 points for October that some others have mentioned this could be due to your renewal date. I've checked and my sub renewal date is 14 of the month which may be why my points show for this month and some others don't . If you do not have these points showing yet then check your account sub date.

just like it was when they gave out the free month to level 50 players as a reward
*****torm, qq and wee wee and zing, everyone got the free month - the "reward for being 50" without being 50
People that have bought exactly the same editions and subbed for exactly the same amount of time are getting upto 300+ cartel coin differences........... something is very fishy with this.

If that's the case it should count, free time = subbed time, if their system doesn't count it as such then their system is WRONG.

If you are subbed since launch, you should have 1500 CC I think. I mean I have 1750 CC with the 250 bonus from the Digital Deluxe edition. I don't see how you get 1300 CCs.

I am not sure how happy to be with this tbh. It completely depends on pricing. If, for instance, a pet is 1000 CC then being subbed really doesnt do much in terms of CCs.

I dunno I have 2550 on my main account, the numbers for people subbed the same amount of time as me and who bought the same things as me vary from 2450 to 2750.

Strangely there's a few instances of people with multiple accounts (I have them too, but not all with the same thing on them) with exactly the same editions and time on them getting different numbers too.

If I was missing a month in that way, that would bring my to 2700, so only 50 missing then.

You only receive Cartel Coins for the original free month on an account, you do not receive them for upgrading an account (extra free 30 days), if you have a Legacy Promotion game time award (the free 30 days they gave everyone who was L50), or any game time given to you by Customer Service as compensation for extended down-time, etc. You will however, get the extras if you upgrade to a higher edition, excluding the 30-days extra game time, so say if you went from Standard to Collector's, you would get 1000 Cartel Coins, etc. instead of the Standard Edition amount (this I found out by asking a CS rep).

Quote:
To see how many Cartel Coins you will be due to receive if you remain a subscriber up to the launch of Free-to-Play, please log in to your account here on SWTOR.com and click on “Cartel Coins Ledger”.

Your Cartel Coins reward is calculated as follows:

Collector’s Edition Owners: 1000 Cartel Coins (one time only special appreciation award).
Digital Deluxe Edition Owners: 250 Cartel Coins (one time only special appreciation award).
Current/Former subscribers: 150 Cartel Coins for each paid month prior to July 31, 2012 plus 200 Cartel Coins per paid month from August 2012 until Free-to-Play begins.
Free-to-Play launch: 250 Cartel Coins for all players with game time remaining on their accounts (one time only special appreciation award).

Please note that you also receive Cartel Coins for the 30 Free Days included with your purchase of Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. However, the 30 free days added to accounts as part of the Legacy Promotion, or any compensatory time added to your account by Customer Service will not have earned Cartel Coins for your account.

Yeah that may be it, but it's still wrong.

The L50 free game time was given as a bonus, to now make people pay for it by the back door (i.e. in less cartel coins) is just plain wrong as it is no longer "free" as there is basically a cartel coin payment for it.

I don't think any other free time (such as game upgrades) shouldn't be counted either, as again you have paid for that time.

So if that is their system I think it is wrong and frankly slightly dishonest.

heh. yeah. I first had the normal game, and then upgraded to the CE. that means I am losing 450 cartel coins by default for the three months I didn't 'pay' for. when in reality I paid 200€ for these (well ok I paid those 200€ for only two months, as one month was a 'gift', but you are right - I am not getting coins for those)

granted the coins you get per month aren't worth 15 dollar / 13 euro anyway, but it still leaves a bad taste in the case of the 'gifted' free month.
