"Dear Superstar: At Stardoll, our staff is working hard to create more fun for you and your friends. Thanks for being a Superstar on Stardoll!
On March 2, 2009, Stardoll will be launching new prices in the UK. Please read carefully to understand how these changes might effect you.
Superstars who pay with credit card will be pleased to discover that any changes will be good news, decreasing their costs by increasing the number of Stardollars they receive.
Some users, though, who pay with their mobile phone via text message and with their regular home phone, will receive fewer Stardollars when they purchase. Please see a description of the changes below.
CREDIT CARD, PAYPAL, and PAYBYCASH MEMBERS
There will be no changes to our low prices on Superstar membership. When Superstars purchase additional Stardollars, some packages will include 50 additional Stardollars – with no increase in the price!
Stardollars for Superstars (“Topping Up”)
150 Stardollars for £3.95 (50 more Stardollars for the same low price – starting March 2, 2009!)
350 Stardollars for £7.95 (50 more Stardollars for the same low price – starting March 2, 2009!)
NEW! 3,000 Stardollars for £39.95 (Credit Card only – starting March 2, 2009!)
MOBILE PHONE/SMS/TEXT MESSAGE/HOME PHONE MEMBERS
When members pay £1.50 with their mobile phone via text message or with their home phone, Stardoll receives only a small part of that payment. Your phone company keeps a large part of your payment for themselves.
To provide our Superstars with more fun and the most beautiful clothes and items for their MeDoll and Suite, we have been forced to reduce the number of Stardollars that members receive when they pay with their mobile phone or home phone.
Superstar Membership
1 Month and 50 Stardollars for £1.50 (17 fewer Stardollars for the same low price!)
Stardollars for Superstars (“Topping Up”)
50 Stardollars for £1.50 (17 fewer Stardollars for the same low price!)
If you normally pay with your mobile phone or home phone, we are very sorry for this inconvenience and sincerely hope that you will continue your Superstar membership with Stardoll. To get a much better price on Superstar Membership and Stardollars, we encourage you to consider using Mastercard, Visa, or American Express.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Stardoll Customer Service "
I think that this is fair for Stardoll (and the world economy, lol), but not for us. Sure, Stardoll needs money like all of us, but is it fair for the UK Stardolls to pay $1.50 for 50 Stardollars? Although I can't pay by phone, I think it was one of the best ways to pay.
Thoughts? Unfair or Fair?
