Buying Credits

Forgive me if I'm being thick, but I always thought 30 credits lasted for 168 hours. The last few times I've purchased, the 168 is shown on the final bit of the purchasing, but suddenly becomes 167 hours when I go back to the search page. Is it just me?

Hi Pinkshoes,

My best guess is that they are showing whole hours. As soon as your purchase is completed, the clock is ticking. Even if there are 167 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, in terms of whole hours, that is 167 hours left. The other side of this, is that you can be spending the credits when they show zero hours to go - from 0 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds down to 0 hours 0 minutes and 1 second.

I am hoping that explanation is correct and logical.

All the best,

AndrewP

Aaah that'll be it right enough. It's certainly logical and no doubt correct. I did notice the other day when I had 16 credits left the time was 0hrs 0mins but it didn't say they'd expired. Just as well I didn't know or I'd have blown the 16 credits in a mad splurge before the bell rang

Thanks Andrew - yet again!

Best wishes
