I don't get it

HOP points Gallery size Additional Shop discount
50 150Kb
500 250Kb +1%
1000 500Kb +3%
5000 2.5Mb +12%
continued... continued... continued...

Now I have a good 17500 points or so, and was wondering a couple of things. It says a 15% discount (in my homepage)

Now I was thinking,
1% at 500
3% at 1000
12% at 5000
by the maths we have taken at university, shouldnt there be another discount bracket somewhere around 10-20,000??

The main reason I am asking all of this is because I saw an ad that stated you could save up to 30% on google (type it in and watch the right ad panel). So how do I go about earning this godly percentage? Is there actually a number, or do I have to do other things to reach this goal???

Write direct to Malcolm/Geoerge and I have no doubt they will tell you. There's a contact us link on the banner at the top...


My guess is that you get a bigger gallery in more strict proportion cos that's an almost cost free thing to give away. But as a business, it would be more effective to give a bigger discount to encourage involvment and loyalty in new people... the early points as it were. After that you can get hooked anyway

I think.. that the Save 30% is "save 30% in comparision to other fire poi retailers"

We know your "easy" Mr UCOF!!
But actually, that's not what we mean.
And I'm not sure where the 30% reference has come from as that's not our Google ad??? But anyway, it is possible to attain 30% and even more - but these are abnormal situations. These are situations where an item is subject to a special reduction and then your HoP points reduction is added on top.
Straight HoP point savings top out around 20% I think from my recollection of Malcolm telling me one day.
If you've built up to that kind of level, chances are you could qualify for the wholesale program anyway.

For gallery space, the logic (well for me anyway) is that if you can fill up that much space with good quality items and still wanted to post more, we'd probably give you more space or make other arrangements anyway 'cos we'd know about that. Gallery space is really to give people somewhere quick and easy to showcase some fo their stuff but with You-tube and all these other places around these days, we didn't think it would be too much trouble for people.

Just a quick note really to give you some of the thoughts on HoP points.
By the way - don't forget the referral dollars program also. Some HoPpers are pulling in some useful "pocket money" using this - potentially better for you than HoP points.

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

not sure exactly when it kicks in but i know you can earn a 15% flat discount plus an additional 5% on referrals if you have over 110,000 HOP points

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

I don't think there's a formula as such, more some "levels" that Malcolm picked and put into the code. I may be wrong about the 20% also. Actually I think I must be wrong because I gave myself a million points and the shop tells me I get a 15% discount and 20Mb space in the gallery. So I withdraw the bit about 20% discount from HoP points. Forget i ever said it!

Beyond 15% is wholesale territory, and buying in volume.

Sorry for putting everyone wrong back there.
