Why can't these ever be clear? This one even has it's own FAQ, yet I'm left wondering...
Do I have to transfer 38 500 Zen to be entered for all? or is 20 000 assures me to be entered for all?
Looks like it would be 38 500 according to:
Q: Do I have to transfer 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 Zen all at once to qualify for rewards?
A: You do not have to transfer all the Zen at once. You can transfer Zen into Neverwinter multiple times and we will count the total amount transferred once the promotion ends on Monday, July 21 at 10 A.M. PDT (Pacific).

As a long time player, I already have all of the Charge Rewards up to 20k. So if I transfer anything short of 20k, the Charge Rewards will give me nothing at all because I already have all the "packs/unlocks" with exception of the mount.
Yeah, this is why I'm not going to bother - the ONLY things I don't have yet are the Mystagogue and the bear mount, plus one title (I think it was Critical Hit). There's no way that's worth buying 200 bucks worth of Zen to me. Especially not when I can get the Mystagogue just for participating in the Foundry contest.
I just want Devs to CONFIRM: I transfer to 20k Zen, The mount (and rest) is it GUARANTEED? I won't do it if it just throws me into some drawing. I raise this question on the statement of "You *could* win..." and I don't play games of chance, Evar. Okay, well, except for a very few lockboxes once in a while - but for those I have massively-lowered expectations and know what I'm getting into.
If the rewards are guaranteed I'll do it, even though I already have three of the companions from previous promotions and whatnot.
I thought the bear was BoP and an account unlock, but reading again it looks like it's one BoE per 20K zen you buy. Too expensive for me.
I have it from an old promotion, it's a fashion item.
thanks for the heads up
Pretty please?

You are correct that my comment appears to be an oxymoron (and as it is written it IS!)... Allow me to clarify (as often what's in my head does't always translate to keyboard completely or properly)
I will be transferring Zen tomorrow morning (I'd been planning to since Monday). What I mean when I say I won't "do it" - I am referring to transferring my monthly budget of 10k Zen - twice (Spending two months budget all at once to go for that mount).
So what I intended to say is this:
Timing is great, was planning to buy 10k Zen anyway, but I'll double that if Mount reward is guaranteed, but if it "by chance" then I wont do that, I'll just stick to my usual 10k budget. I hope that makes better sense of my meaning.
But you can call me oxymoronic numbskull dimwit if you like as I suppose I've earned that. I'll embrace the title and flaunt it flamboyantly. (!) LOL
I'm sorry, but will this end up like Ioun Stone of Radiance?
That was my interpretation of it. Hoping for a Dev/Mod to confirm otherwise and that it's actually an account wide unlock, but i won't get my hopes up.
The Silver Sword - NW-DEIPWYISA - Daily Qualified
A Relaxing Stay - NW-DEEYNZYZ9 - Daily Qualified but going to be updated
$10 spent - Few potions, "Natural 20" title, and Ivy Mask(from expired Ten Ton Hammer promo)
$25 spent - More potions, "Critical Hit" title, and Archmage's Apprentice(from several expired promos)
$50 spent - Random(rank 4) Enchantments + small XP boost, "Dread Ringer" title, and Mystagouge(from expired Gamespot promo)
$100 spent - Random(rank 4) Enchantments + small XP boost, "Just Thayan" title, and Radiance Stone
$200 spent - Lord's Armored Polar Bear
This seems like a totally bogus way for them to entice people to spend money on NW.
It means that you can get the item multiple times so if you transfer 20k zen into the game once you get one ,if you transfer 20k zen times 2 you get two etc etc , the mount is BoE but you only get one per 20k transfered that will become character bound as soon as you equip it , it isn't a account wide unlock like zen store mounts.
From the blog.
Excellent explanation. I'd have thought this a no-brainer, but I keep forgetting that people tend to read too much into whatever Cryptic says when they simply say what they mean and mean what they say.
My only question (Answered at Twitter) was if the Bear Mount was a "chance to win" or a Guaranteed win if requirements are met. The answer (direct from Devs/Cryptic at Twitter) is a resounding "Yes - guaranteed". So I'm in (And yeah, I already have most of those companions, too - but that's not my deciding factor on it - to each their own).
If Cryptic creates a title "the Excessive" I am *so* creating a toon called Lord Dimwit Flathead!
As for the rest of the thread...
My initial reaction was that any Charge Rewards program, to be successful, must offer something compelling that most players don't already have. For me, the only thing that comes close would be the bear mount, though I'll concede that perhaps most players don't have some of the other items either.
Putting a mount in the top spot is problematic, though. The UI mechanics are such that switching mounts is a bit of a chore, and, aside from aesthetics, there really is no difference between mounts of the same rank.
Here is an off-the-cuff suggestion: give mounts active bonuses (maybe of an entirely different character than companions to make it even more interesting). Give players a reason to acquire more mounts. Or, if an active bonus is too much, let a mount confer a title. Or maybe let a mount come with an associated quest that you can do on some regular interval (or a set of quests!)
