    Why are the costs for credits on mobile app cheaper/more credits?

    Mobile App 2000 credits $19.99 5300 credits $49.99 11000 credits $99.99

    Computer 2000 credits $20.00  5000 credits $50.00  10000 credits $100

    It's an even better deal if you purchase one or more of the DLC Bundles on Steam.

    • Par Bundle:  500 credits + balls + coins for $2.99
    • Birdie Bundle:  750 credits + wedges + coins for $4.99
    • Eagle Bundle:  1500 credits + putter + balls + coins for $9.99
    • Fairway Bundle:  2000 credits + irons + balls + coins + apparel packs for $19.99
    • Long Drive Bundle:  2000 credits + driver + balls + coins + apparel packs for $19.99

    If you're spending real money on the game, take a look at those.

    Is there a specific reason the credits are cheaper on the mobile app?

    I don't think anyone knows why. That's just the way it is.

    As far as I know, it's always been that way; it's nothing new.

    Computer 2000 credits $20.00  5000 credits $50.00  10000 credits $100

    Actually when you consider one thing buying credits from mobile is either higher or virtually the same, That thing is when you buy credits on the computer you are buying directly from WGT and they don't charge your state's or country's sale tax. 

    When you buy credits on mobile you are buying your credits from either Apple, Google , or Amazon. Those 3 companies charge your state's or country's sales tax.

    Several years ago I bought 2000 credits on IOS mobile thinking I was saving 1 cent, When I got my receipt from Apple I saw I had paid Kentucky's 6 % sales tax making the 2000 credits that would have cost $20.00 on the computer cost me $21.19.

    Mobile App

    2000 credits $19.99 after sale tax $21.19 costing $1.19 more. 

    5300 credits $49.99 after sales tax $52.99 saving 1 cent

    11000 credits $99.99 after sales tax $105.99 saving $4.01

    Computer

    2000 credits $20.00

     5000 credits $50.00  

    10000 credits $100

    11000 credits $110 

    So you can see except in the case of the 1100 credit purchase you don't save any thing. And the savings on the 11000 credit purchase is only $4.01 instead of the $10.01 that the mobile app makes it appear. And let's face it most of us aren't going to buy that many credits at one time. So buying in smaller amounts actually costs you more on mobile,

    It might be because on mobile there are decimal places. Look at your stats as an example. On mobile your avg drive could be 311.56 but on website its 312

    Thanks.  That makes sense now.  I have never tried buying credits on mobile app so I didn't know about the taxes.

    The 4 bundles with clubs could really be a great deal, If the clubs aren't as good as what you have sell them back and get much of you cash back in credits,
