But can we have a field for LESS than $100?

Like little custom amounts so we can have just the right amount to buy an LQI. Right now, I have 140 GC and, if given the opportunity, I wouldn't mind having the ability to just by $8.59 USD worth of GC to get a neat item I see in the shop.

I really think the custom should be any amount above the new $2 option. Just let us choose what to buy damn.

That'd be nice, I've plenty of times I have 250ish cash and need 250 more or 750more etc.


But tbh im more curious of if the choose your own would be eligible for the discounts/sales because if its not I'd rather just buy cash on the existing tiers.

I agree, it should be totally custom above the $2 minimum.

It would've been much more effective had they gone between the $20-$50 range. I understand that there's the issue with extra fees from third-parties, especially when it comes to $5 and below, but it would've been more appropriate had it applied to at least $10 as a starting point. A good chunk of Gaia's sales are around the $10 range (if one plans to buy two items in one go).

i got excited when i saw the custom-amount but the over $100 is just pointless
and gaia, while im happy you're adding a $2 option, can you add an option for 2000gc too???

They should just make it custom for any amount. Do away with tiers completely.

Side note: I do wonder if the upcoming custom field will even be able to make use of discounts.

I agree with this. Once in a while I buy GC just for those items that I know I'll never buy otherwise because they'll cost 50bil or more in the MP. However, in the end Im often left with really odd amounts of GC that I can't use, and Im not going to get money back for either. Like right now- 72gc.
Being able to buy a custom amount after $2 would really help this. I could get $2.27 gc and get 299- which,would likely buy me an item rig or something.
However, on the other side of things, I will never use the custom GC over $100 function.
this is a great idea especially for people that have an odd amount of gaia cash and needs a specific certain amount to get an item they want.
Really would appreciate this, don't see any reason for them not to either.

I'd like to see this happen, there are so many times where I need x amount >.<;

Custom above the $2 minimum makes sense. Or maybe even $1.
And they could still have exclusive items for buying over $X amount.

While I personally don't buy Gaia Cash, I agree with you guys.

Allowing people to buy specific amounts of Cash would make it a lot better for people who choose to buy it. Especially for people who are working with limited disposable income who only want to spend a specific amount.

Say, you've got $15 you specifically want to spend on GC, you'd have to do 2 separate transactions. You can't just specify you want an exact amount, you have to buy it in the increments that they say you can.

Now don't get me wrong, I would be totally ok with this.. but I don't see it happening.

This is a very common tactic amongst a LOT of companies (Playstation, Steam, Xbox, most other companies where you buy some sort of credit through them). It brings in more money for them, since very few things actually cost $5 or $20. They cost $4.99 or $18.98. Just a little less than the credit amounts. A penny to the individual user doesn't really matter, but when a million users have that extra un-usable penny in their account, that means a pretty big amount to the company.

That being said, Gaia is no where as big as Nintendo or Sony, so I don't think that extra penny, or even an extra dollar, is going to be a HUGE difference in their profit, so it would be nice to allow the user to customize how much GC they want.

Yeah, this. Just let us choose how much we wanna buy already.
