Many thanks for your help by the way.

Hi there,

No the rates are still the same. It just looks confusing since Facebook mandated that all FB games had to use Facebook credits(FBC) with games. Facebook credits are not valued the same as £1, so 1 FBC does not cost £1.

Here's an approximate guide for you. Bear in mind that depending on the payment method, the prices may vary.

25 FC : 49FBC / $4.99 / £3
55 FC : 99FBC / £9.99 /£6.25
120 FC : 199FBC / $19.99 / £12.50
250 FC : 399 FBC / $39.99 / £25

I understand that and 120 works out to roughly the amount I've been paying (I have been paying with Facebook credits for a while.) I think I went wrong somehow this time as there was an offer for 525 credits for £31.76p and that is what my receipt is for. 250 went straight onto Farm Town which I thought left 275 credits but apparently it doesn't - it leaves 176. That's what I don't understand because when I went to school - admittedly a long time ago - 250 off 525 leaves 275 so I presumed that's how many credits I would have left. It's obviously me getting confused so I'm sorry as I'm probably being very annoying.

Hi there,

Sounds like what you have done is bought the amount of Facebook credits needed for 250 Farm Cash plus an extra amount of facebook credits.

When you first select the amount of Farm Cash you want, then the payment method, the next box by default selects the correct amount of credits to buy just that amount of Farm Cash. If at that point you clicked on another offer, you would have bought extra facebook credits, which is what it sounds like you did.

It costs 399 facebook credits to buy 250 Farm Cash. So if you bought 525 facebook credits, used 399 for 250 Farm cash, that will leave you with 176 facebook credits.

You could buy another 25 Farm Cash with what is left, it would cost you 49 facebook credits.

Hope that makes it clearer for you.
