HobbyKing Platinum Members

[colorex]

HobbyKing gave me a little present:

Don't ask how, I don't know.​

 

[lobstermash]

I've yet to figure out whether it's a certain period of time, or some magic ceiling. I thought it was the latter at $400-ish

Maybe it depends on how much credits you havereceived over time... I think I have spent about 180 dollars and was a gold member. When I answered some questions and got some credits, all of a sudden..... Platinum member!, or maybe it is time... Has anyone ever gotten the discount emails that are supposed to come with being a Platinum member?

I hadn't noticed it before. I don't know when mine changed.

 

[fred0000]

[bicyclemonkey]

So is anyone above a platinum member? I've got 23 orders totally...well, i don't even want to add up the $$$$ amount and I'm still a platinum member.

 

[fred0000]

[Ak Flyer]

Ive placed 112 orders for ??? dollars and just became member of the EliteClub. I respond once and a while to questions in the product discussion tabs in oder to help other members. I sometime place a review when I think it is usefull. But I must say that I see not much difference. Responding directly to Anthony-the-boss-Hand didnt have any results ;-) I actually dont mind what kind of member i am. As long as HK continues with introducing new products for those el-cheapo prices, I continue ordering products for me and my rc flying club members.

 

[nibnobsam]

6 orders, around $150 and a platinum member

 

[colorex]

Seems like most of you are Platinum Members. Good for you.

I think you get small discounts on some things at Platinum Level. I'll have to enable the discount emails!

 

[glydr]

I hope your bubble hasn't been burst, but practically everyone is 'platinum'. When you get that elite club membership you need to worry because it means you've sunk a lot of dough in HK!

G
platinum

 

[teflyer]

Honestly, I have gotten 0 discount emails from hobbyking. probably because everyone is platinum....

 

[colorex]

Don't worry, when I need to "bug the boss" I'll just PM pgerts.

No requierement to become platinium ELITE

Guy's , more then 9k spent last year, and almost the same in the past 3 years. Got to platinium in less then 6 monts. Been there since then. Today i askeda CS agent what are the requirements to become an ELITE member..

My simple question was... What are the requirements (spending level's , contributions to forums, etc.. ?)
The ANSER from CS was No requirements SIR....

So, there are no specific requirements to go from Platinium to Platinium Elite..

Anyway, apart from the BUG the BOSS option, i dont see any advantages. And try the bug the boss, not shure you will get an answer....

Anyway, Im, done with HK, so no need for Elite.
