The VIP and credit system, along with the restrictions on what deals you can and cannot use them on, seems like a bit of bad faith on the part of the store, and by extension, AJ himself. Additionally, the “redeem credits” system is simply ridiculous. You should be able to apply any credits you want at the time of checkout. Speaking of the checkout process, and I believe this is intentional, I’ve accidentally completed purchases multiple times before I was fully ready. The old store was better.
