Veterans Rep Advancement Question

Ok, before anyone says anything - yes I did do a search for this question and it brought up over 11 pages.

My basic question is this. Are you supposed to get advancement perks after the 100 day, 200 day, 300 day if you are using the Free-to-play level or do you have to spend the $299.00 (or whatever the price is) to access these features???

Just curious because I have had my account for over a year now and I never received a 100 day, 200 day, or 300 day updates...

Please let me know because I am confused.

Thanks

    those advancement perks are part of being a gold subscriber for those number of days. Lifetime members get all of them instantly

    f2pers are silver members and thus do not benefit from these

    You surely have a Silver account. Thats the basic free-to-play account everyone starts with.

    Then you can decide to be a Gold Member by paying $15,- a month - thats where your actually membership starts and you will be rewarded with http://sto.gamepedia.com/Veteran_Rewards

    Or you pay $ 299,-- once for Lifetime Membership and your get all the Veteran Rewards at once plus exclusive items http://sto.gamepedia.com/Lifetime_subscription

    They usually have twice a year a Lifetime sale, if I am not mistaken that usually happens in spring and COULD happen again when the second Expansion is being released.

    Na... They are most likely going for a maximum possible sale of some package for the new expansion.

    Selling a LTS at the same time would deminish sales of a "Expansion 2 package".
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    I agree, I could see them doing a LTS sale in the future before the expansion pack but not at the same time.

    Yea, I agree... A month after is likely (again to maximize sales of the XPx2 pack)

    Is a LTS sale likely to happen any time soon? I really, really, really want it.

    Ok, thank you very much for the information.

    I was a subscriber using those Star Trek game cards that were sold when the game was a "Pay to Play" and so I have the 200 game veteran setting. Because I was without a internet connection for a while I wasn't sure how the "pay to play" worked with the "free to play".
