Added to my thread.

Can someone confirm that I got it right when I posted that you get 5 stamps per delivery you accept?
I've only been doing bronze deliveries, other than when I first signed up, so don't remember if there were more stamps for Gold or Silver deliveries. Do you get more stamps with a Diamond delivery?
Did I miss any other sources of stamps?
Thanks.

No matter the level, upon receiving/accepting an icon set - you get 5 stamps. You got it right.

Thanks for the confirmation.
It looks like receiving bronze sets is currently the most advantageous because of the additional stamps received per token spent. Even with the bonuses available (like the 1000 points for receiving 3 diamond sets) bronze is still the top point-getter if you can use up all the stamps for deliveries.

bronze is still the top point-getter
While the 10 points per stamp to deliver holds true, yes, but the new diamond option earns 25 points per stamp (I think.. it's 10 stamps to send and 250 points, right?)

Sorry, I should have been clearer. When receiving sets, bronze gets you the most points (if you can use all the stamps for deliveries). When sending, diamond sets definitely get you the most points.

the rockstar badge (25 fans) doesn't earn you points anymore, changed at the same time that the golden halo was raised to 250

Thanks for reminding me. I missed updating that when I updated the points for 50 gold deliveries sent.

Who confirmed that you get 1500pts for your 100th referral? Is there really someone who did that?
