I have not gotten my free gold upgrade for spending 200+ usd + nor any of my donation medals. But I have got my stuff ingame.
From what I know, andrewkm does the forum upgrades himself therefor you will most likely just have to wait for him. If nothing happens then, I would suggest directly messaging andrewkm himself with your donation concerns.
It states that those kind of things are added 1-7 days after your purchase. Just be patient and you'll get it
I bought a donation coupon from another player, got my donation in-game, but never got a forum medal. Is that because it was a coupon or because it was meant for another player? This took place about two months ago.
Wait.. so, You could get a $20 coupon, and spend $25 in the store, now because of the coupon you only pay $5, would the $5 count, or the $25 ?
