I remember reading some posts on here discussing something like this a month or two ago. I didn't realize that it was like this though. I figured it only disabled the chat features until you spent your existing credits or topped up. The way it's set up now seems pretty foolish. Anyway, I'm a stubborn fuck and don't feel like spending more money (however little it is) to use the credits I already bought. Very confusing all around
Yes mate same i still have a few credits left aswell but i refuse to top up again out of principle, ive emailed them about it but didnt get a reply so i just don't use their site anymore

I posted elsewhere about this fundamental manipulation of punter's perception of the value of their credits by the operators. Once you've topped up your money has gone. It is no longer yours. The only value the credits have thereafter is that which the operator chooses to give them at any given point. These credits might as well be chocolate buttons! All you're doing with them post-top up is telling the operator which babe to reward accordingly.
Everything is based on trust post top-up. We have to bank on the operators not taking liberties with the nominal value of our credits. (I mean besides the fact that each babe sets their own values to what your credits will get from them specifically.)
It's like buying a digital copy of a movie from one of those paid cloud servers. There's no guarantee your movie will ALWAYS be there for you to use. The terms of use are always the providers to change as they see fit.
We need our eyes open to this at all times.
Of course terms being pissed about with can be to the detriment of the customer's sense of whether they should be spending any more money with the provider. And so they are usually more cautious about changing things as oddly as 66 have here.

I did get the same type of message at the start of this month and topped up and spent the credits. I think Studio66 should set a minimum amount of credits that would be allowed to be kept in account to avoid top up and reslly do think if you have credits still in your account whether you have used them or not you should still be allowed tb use them. I would keep pursuing customer service and keep pressure on ga;lleerry to help you reclaim them and be allwed to usev them.
Transport for London were also similar scammy in their 5 pound deposit for the Oyster card, in which you could only get it back by applying for it. Counting on the many who didn't read the fineprint or didn't go through the process. Even now you can use a reader machine to get it back when finished with but only after a year of use. And not everyone has or wishes to use a debit/credit card instead to travel. They milked it from tourists. And the excuse about saving plastic waste doesn't wash when a discarded plastic bottle isn't similarly addressed.
Another case of not owning your own cash. And with s66 there isn't even any fineprint, they seem to be making it up on the fly.
have to look at this way buying credits months ago is not helping there cashflow this month obviously they need money to pay the girls and keep the lights on get the feeling they are living from month to month at the moment
What precisely are the rules with credits and top ups in place?
I have only 1 credit at the moment, but have full chat-write access and cams access. However, I spent heavily 2 weeks ago tipping Anastasia Harris.
Do guys with no creds have chat-write access?
Are punters given individual bespoke access arrangements according to their spend history? I cannot imagine S66 wanting to alienate certain big hitters with petty rules like this? Oh, wait....
