Hey all, new here.
Hey everyone, I'm Kiana. I've been playing PL for around 3 days now. It's really addictive.
I'm on level 11, and I'm thinking of getting some Plat, but I'm pretty sure the prices for Plat are different if I'm from Australia. This sounds like a really silly question to ask, but I'm unsure, and I'd like to know before I buy anything.
Thanks, and I hope to see you in game sometime. My username in game is Kiane.
Welcome
This is how buying plat worked for me as an AU player too: I bought platinum and my credit card got charged in USD, which my bank then converted to AUD. I guess you could wait for the best exchange rate, depending on your payment method.
Thankyou. I reckon I should wait for the exchange rate too. So do you receive Plat as soon as you pay ANC buy it, or do you have to wait?
Welcom to the forums!

My plat came through near instantly.
A big hi ... to the new guy !
Also i will send one of the austrialan players this way to answer your question =) !
hey i am australian and i just buy $20 itunes voucer and then buy plat with that
5 plat = $1.19
but its cheaper if u buy in bulk e.g 30 plat is like $6, 70 plat is like $13 or sumthin, it will tell u before u purchase how much it will cost, and u can accept or cancel
edit: if u dont have an australian itunes account just make one and it will ask you to enter credit card details or voucher number and just enter the $20 voucher number and it will create an account with $20 on it

Are you sure? Aren't iTunes prices for each country the same? I'm pretty sure I'm only ever charged $1.19 for anything I buy that claims it's $1.19. Then again, I've never paid solid attention to it... I'll have to check next time I buy plat... (which won't be for a while. =P)
EDIT: ...meh, looks like I was beaten by a minute or two.
I investigated my bank records and it's only my comp iTunes Store purchases which got converted, because that one goes through to the US store instead (took me a while to remember I changed it for some purchases I couldn't get in AU a while back). My mistake, I'd just assumed all purchases did that.
Thankyou. And thanks to everyone else who helped, I feel very welcomed.Originally Posted by King Richie
Welcome to the forums! Hope you will have an excellent time here!
Should we tell her what we do to newcomers a week after their first post?
Ahahahaa, tell me. What? I'm scared now...
Thanks to everyone else, I reckon I know what to do now. =D
theres your answer right there...hey i am australian and i just buy $20 itunes voucer and then buy plat with that

if u missed it, i donno how i can explain it anymore, if u donno were to make an itunes account, u go to app store then to features tab i think then scroll down the bottom and it will ask u to sign in or make an account.
pm me if u have any other questions.
and @interim, yer australians pay 1.19 for 99 cent apps, australians have to pay more for everything, thats just the way of life, we pay like $110 for xbox 360 games when americans only pay like $50-60
yer its BS...
Really, $1.19 is nothing. Why?
$1 american... is... $1.15! This changes all the time, too. This'll probably convert to $1.25 sooner or later.
So... stop complaining. It's as fair as it can be. ^.~
Thanks. It IS a bit of a downer that we have to pay more, but I'm sorta used to it now.
@interim7 I guess I'll have to wait a few more days to see then. =D
Welcome aboard from another Australian.
