Plat Granting Vanities

The reason for not being able to share plat between games is because of Apple rules to not sell a product outside your game. But STS was able to get around this with the name reservations by selling a shield that granted the reservation. Well, what about selling a vanity that 'granted' plat in a different game? A certain shield could cost, say 50 plat in PL, and if you purchased it, your account would be granted 50 plat in AL. There could be shields for all the games in each game, and of course if there is a plat conversion it would be taken into account. There could be multiple denominations of shields, or just one, and a player could buy as many as they wished.
So, thoughts?

It would be a way to transfer plat between games.

Yah I'm sure there are many old time PL players with way to much plat for that game that would love to move it to AL.

I like the idea. Only problem could be that people wait to buy plat until one of the games gets a plat sale, and then transfer that plat to their preferred game.

But yeah, some way to transfer plat would be cool :)

Plat price difference could easily be worked into the equation. Fake numbers, but if it was 2 to 1 AL to PL, then a 50 plat AL shield in PL would grant 25 plat in AL and a 50 plat PL shield in AL would grant 100 plat in PL.

Plat sales are used to stimulate purchase at down times. If players could transfer plat it would make a more universal system of play where they put it to use in the game with the newest levels. This would actually do more to stimulate purchase since it would encourage spending instead of sitting on it till the next campaign.
