Upgrading my Pledge

Hi all, I bought the Adventure Pledge $45 but I am now thinking of upgrading the Citizen pledge $550. My question is how do I upgrade this pledge without loosing that $45 already spent?

 

Here ya go : https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=19#faq_84

 

When you log into your account, there will be an Upgrade button next to your current pledge level. You will be charged the difference between your original pledge and the new level you've selected to purchase.

If you have issues or have questions, contact community@portalarium.com about your account.

 

Also, if you first work with a Founder to get your account set as a Founder account as well (by getting them to gift you a pledge, generally in exchange for you sending them the money for it via paypal), that will save you $50 on the Citizen price ($500 vs $550) and get you some extra goodies as well.

 

Congrats Snibbo. I'm really happy for you. I Started out at a lower tier also.

 

You'd get all these extras by being a Founder at the Citizen level and save $50.

Woot!!! Glad to see the upgrade!

 

Hi all, I bought the First Responder when the project begun ($25) + $20 gifted for Alienware (Total = $45), but I am now thinking of upgrading Collector $150 (for founder reward). My question is how do I upgrade this pledge without loosing that $45 already I have in my account?
In my profile the only option is buy (or upgrade) $150, but i though that would be $105 (remember... i have $45 in my account)

Thanks

 

So far each time I have upgraded my pledge it only charges the difference. So don't be put off by the amount it says on the option.
If they do charge you the full amount, then contact Portalarium and they can sort it out.

 

Then... only I select the option Collector $150 and the diference will be charge to my card?

 

Yes, go to your account page and select the payment type from the dropdown menu and click upgrade. Then you confirm the level you want to upgrade to and it will charge the difference.

 

Ok, but which is the diference between full payments and monthly payments? Because when I select second option the page ask me for my desired level and how I desired pay (totally or fractions)

 

I've only ever done full payments sorry. I would assume monthly means you pay part payments each month until you've paid off the upgrade amount.

 

Thanks for your help.
If anyone of staff member have more ideas about these topic, help please.
