Can't use credits for anything while on Free Package

Seriously, what's the point of buying credits on Free Package if you literally cannot use them for anything unless you already have a package subscription?
I just spent 26USD on credits trying to use it for a Premium Package + Customized Domain combo, but I can't use them for absolutely anything since I'm still on Free Package. I bought the credits SPECIFICALLY for trying to aquire the Premium Package.
So you're telling me I can use the credits for an annual subscription, but not for a monthly subscription? What the f*ck is this?
I have spent all the money I had planning for this and now I can't even f*cking use it. What an absolute shitshow of credit management.

About monthly subscription, you can select the monthly payment for that:

I am afraid I don't see the problem, you can acquire the Premium Package, and then the services you need

What in specific are you trying to obtain? a customized domain name? is it the case?

I take the opportunity to share with you the forumotion packages template, with some additional info:

I just saw other topics that had the same issue I had. Literally several of them. There's just no way this is still working like this and no one did anything yet.

Whoever thought on making the credits available to use only for an annual subscription, congratulations. Your plan is working like a charm.

I have 1960 credits available on my Forum. I was going to buy the Premium Package (760) + Customized domain (1200): Total 1960.

The MAJOR thing they barely even mention decently, is that you can't use your own damn credits for acquiring the monthly subscription (surprisingly, you can use it for an annual subscription WOW AMAZING).

Now I have 1960 credits for absolutely nothing as you can't do sh*t on the Free Package.

Hello  @OkamiDF, 

Would you like to take the monthly package via Paypal ?  I will see how to refund the 760 credits that you bought to pay the monthly package. 

What is your forums URL please? Thank you.

Yes please, I want the Premium Package with the ads disable for both members and guests. I will still need the remaining 1200 credits for buying the custom domain later.

Thanks.

Thank you.

This you will have to do on your side, with your Paypal. I can only refund the 760 credits. I'll see with the direction and get back when I have news.

Alright, so the credit value will be added on my PayPal wallet (I used credit card for this) to use it again? Thanks again.
