Different people may have different reasons for having a Standing Order. Some will have it to reach 1500VP easily each month to maintain their EA status, others to support their own shop TripleClicks and others to get some TCredits, for example, to use to bid in auctions, download music, play games or place member listings and gather the necessary VP for maintaining EA status at the same time.
If you don’t have a lot of money to spend the best option for you would be to support your own shop TripleClicks by changing your shopping habits by purchasing goods you use at home or in business and would have bought elsewhere in any event. That way you don’t have to spend extra money to maintain EA status every month. You can buy cleaning, beauty or health products, electronic appliances like laptops, tablets and cellphones, computer software, e-books, business supplies and many other things that you would have had to buy in any event. By getting it on SO makes it just better because you get discount if it’s on SO and also gather qualifying VP.
You can even combine different products as well as gathering Action VP by logging in everyday and doing your monthly (15VP/mth), weekly (152VP/mth) and daily (330VP/mth) actions. It provides you with a maximum of 497 Action VP. To gather enough VP to maintain EA status you only need to get a further 1003VP. You can gather this 1003VP by placing a SO for the following products that all of us use at home:
The Natural Hair and Body Shampoo and conditioner - Quart (198VP for $9.58)
The Natural Hand Soap - Quart (166VP for $8.06)
The Natural All-Purpose Cleaner - Quart (149VP for $7.22)
The Natural Laundry Detergent/Softener - Quart (205VP for $9.94)
The Natural Hand Dishwashing Detergent - Quart (206VP for $10.00)
The Natural Glass and Window Cleaner - Quart (113VP for $5.48)
This will give you 1037VP and it will cost you $50.18 (Minus 9% for SO) for products you would have bought elsewhere in any event.
If your purpose with having a SO is only to maintain your EA status, especially if spending some extra money isn't a problem , there are many products or services to choose from, most of them of good value, of which packs of TCredits is the best according to me. There are various options for TCredits as a SO, of which 100 ($29), 125 ($36.25) and 200 ($64-9% on SO) is the best options.
For the 100 TCredits you get 1200 SVP, for the 125 TCredits you get 1500 SVP and for the 200 TCredits you get 1661 SVP.
With the 100 pack you still short 300 VP to become EA. Combine it with something else for example 3 single TCredits (102VP for $1.99 each) giving you a total of 1506VP. With both 125 and 200 pack you become EA every month instantly and for having a SO with 1500VP or more you get an extra 100 AVP.. With the 200 pack you are now even 261 VP closer to becoming Team Leader. The cheapest option, but with the least value is to get 15 single TCredits on SO. It will cost you only $29.85 and will give you 1530VP.
TCredits SO is good when you want to bid in auctions or participate in other actions where you might need it. Did you know that as an EA or above, you get free TCredits every month you maintain 1500VP or above.
If you want to build a team fast with little effort and money is available, a SO of 1 or more SBuilder Co-op units or PSA’s to go might be the best option.
