Hmm its been a while since I received that bonus. You can look in the platinum purchase screen on the menu and it will tell you there, but I believe it's 50% extra.. I could be mistaken.
I'm pretty sure it's 40%
Should find a screen like this:

From the character selection screen, click on Nexus --> My Account --> Purchase Platinum
The first time buyer's bonus does NOT stack with special platinum offers/events (such as Plat Sale weekends, where platinum is on sale for 40% off).
From the pic that morholt sent it's 50% added onQuote:

No, 113 platinum. It is x + x/2, x being the original price (which in this case is 75).
It's kind of like mark up. 50% of the original price added to the original priceQuote:

At normal prices, 75 plat for $10 means you get 7.5 plat for each dollar spent.
600 plat for $50 is 12 platinum per dollar. There are higher pacakges than the $50, too, with more plat per dollar spent.
Using the buyer bonus on the $50 option means you'd be getting 18 plat per dollar, while using it on the $10 option would yield you 11.25 plat per dollar (less of a deal than the normal $50 option).
Choose wisely on using your first time buyer bonus!
If you're going to spend $10 this week and $10 another week, it'd be better to save the first $10 so that you can buy the $20 option and end up with more platinum.
Man... Do I look blind or what. I only said 40% because plat sale weekend was 40%.Quote:
