After 15 years, I am finally done. It's a BF Bogo weekend and I have 1 credit. Now's the time to buy another credit, use my now 2 credits to buy a CE, bogo a 2nd CE and get a coupon for an SE. This is a pattern that I am sure many BF members have followed throughout the years. No more. BF apparently no longer allows you to buy a game credit. Why, BF, why? It's not like you've pulled the trigger on your new game club procedures ("exciting changes are coming!"). It's not like I don't want to BUY the extra credit. Instead, I am left with a useless single credit, like an appendix, hoping that that in a week, when you next charge my credit card (like you've done 180 times before) a Bogo opportunity will still exist. But somehow I doubt it. It's been a long, enjoyable ride but I am finally jumping off the sinking ship. No more checking in every day to see that today's game is Pixel Art 83 or some game originally released in 2006. Thanks BF for a good ride. I wish I could say I am going to miss you.

ranbar61 , Yeah..you have always had to have that credit 'in the system' already..and buy ahead. That's why they are bringing in the new 'points' system soon and you can put your amount of points for one credit towards a CE and just pay the balance (one SE or credit price)... So in fact they ARE working toward fixing that problem. Probably by next month. They will let us know on the gamemanager as an announcement when they confirm the date I reckon. I often had to 'buy ahead'..that extra credit..if I thought I may need it for a weekend. So I totally understand your frustration..but in all fairness..that is the reason they are now marketing a points system per dollar soon. Sorry you missed out..  Soon if you stay a member..you get your points for buying games at the rate of a CE or SE...and your membership credits gives you the equivalent of an SE as per usual.  ** but must admit I have not bought a game for quite a while...I hope the offerings get better.

ranbar61 , I feel your pain! I think they are desperately trying to compete with Steam and found they couldn't keep up so they are going to opt for the iWin credit system? BTW: if you are looking for a FREE game outlet and don't mind that you have new HOPAs, this site has a bunch of games and they are decent quality I found this review and several others that have favorable things to say about Toomky Games ToomkyGames Is A Free Games Download Website For Gamers
Free game websites have a bad reputation since multiple have been caught in online fraud and spreading malware.
However, the online games website we are talking about here is nothing like that. ToomkyGames.com is an authentic website that offers an immense catalog of games that users can play online as well as download for offline gaming.
What is so special about ToomkyGames?

ToomkyGames is categorized in a way that is extremely easy to navigate. Whether you want to visit the downloadable content or explore a particular game category, everything is right up front on the homepage.
Talking about categories, ToomkyGames has over fifteen game categories such as Card games, Arcade games, Racing games,  games, Hidden object games, etc.
Another thing that makes ToomkyGames easy-to-use is because of the few ads. The best part is that the ads are not obtrusive, which is extremely uncommon in free game websites.
The gaming experience
