After speaking with two customer service representatives, I was informed that the month I was given for free did not count as a month I would be awarded Cartel Coins for because I did not pay for it.

Honestly, this upset me as I have been, and still am, a loyal paid subscriber to the game. I have paid for everyday since day one with a 6 month reoccurring subscription and my payments have been prompt.

So why am I now being told that a month I received for free, one that I did not ask for but appreciate, does no count toward the accumulation of Cartel Coins for being a loyal SWTOR player and subscriber?

This does not make sense to me.

I was wondering if someone from BioWare / EA could explain.

Thanks.

p.s. - I realize that this thread has the potential to devolve into a flame war against companies turning a profit on the products that they produce, but let's keep it above the belt for this one please. I'd really like to know the rational behind this. Thx again.
Can't you just spend the $15 you would have spent on that month's subscription on cartel coins? I can't believe you actually made a thread for this. Good God... LOL

No, OP, it doesn't COST you anything. You get 150 fewer coins than you assumed you were going to get. BW/EA is allowed to distribute coins however they want. They NEVER promised everyone coins for that free month. Can't believe you're crying this hard about it.

150 CCs are worth what? A buck? Maybe 2 bucks? You contacted customer service over $2? Idk man, your sauce is pretty weak.

Plus EA did not have to give you a free month, and they did not have to give us CCs for the months we had a sub.

A sign of a good troll post is that you cannot tell if the person is truly an idiot and believes what they are saying or if they are just trying to get a reaction. In this case it would appear the former. If the OP is just trying for a reaction then I would have to agree and give 10/10.
Dear BW,

The point he is saying is that we were "rewarded" during that month but in the end we were punished in a way because we got 150 less CC.

rewarded = not paid = not eligible for CC.
I still don't see the problem here.
