V.I.P Group
{what next} has two update groups which send out notices when we have new products or important store-related news. Both join boards are located close to the main-store landing point:

If that doesn’t work, you can find the group info from profile/groups or IM Winter Thorn for a group invite
Q. Why charge members to join?
A. Applying a cost to join the group isn’t financially motivated. It’s intended as an ongoing reward/benefit to valued and regular customers, where by we can offer higher credit rewards to group members and limited edition group gifts and sales events, without worrying about “group hopping”.
Q. What are the group benefits?
A. * 5, 10 or 20% of the purchase price is earned in rewards credits on products throughout the main-store, depending on the item price. This quickly adds up for regular customers and then the credits can be redeemed for future purchases. .
* Also, new releases at the main-store will be offered to group members at 50% off for a limited time only (this excludes discounted sales events items, some products created for events such as CHIC, Zombie Popcorn Brand and non main-store events).
* We also send out the occasional group gift. The group gifts are usually exclusive or limited edition items, not sold in the store. The latest group gift can be found near the join boards at the main-store.
Q. Where and how can I earn credits?
A. Credits are earnt in the main-store only (this excludes purchases for discount event sales such as Lazy Sunday or SUYS, since these events are already heavily discounted.)
Q. What about subscribomatic group gifts?
A. Inworld group members will be able to receive any gifts given out to the subscribers group too.
V.I.P Group Credits Info
Q. How do I redeem store credits?
A.
1. Visit the {what next} mainstore.
3. You’ll see 4 buttons, choose ‘Credit’
4. You’ll then see the following message – “Would you like to buy this item for L$(whatever the price is) in store credit?” and the buttons ‘YES’ and NO”.
5. If you choose “YES”, then your chosen product will be delivered to you in a few moments and the amount deducted from your store credit balance. You’ll be able to pay the vendor any difference in the amount, if your chosen product costs more than you have in your store account.
6. To check how much credit you have saved , visit the Store Credit Terminal (on the Customer Terminal Board) near the landing point.
7. If you don’t have enough credits for your desired purchase, you can top up your credits by buying gift-cards. When you buy a gift-card for yourself, those credits will automatically be applied to your balance. Gift Cards are located near the landing point/new releases at the mainstore – when you purchase a gift card, essentially you are purchasing {what next} credits and they are added to the same account as your store credits earnt on regular purchases.
TERMS OF USE
Purchases from events or sales items (such as Lazy Sunday, Fifty Linden Friday etc), products from the Marketplace, satellite stores, gachas, gift-cards DO NOT earn credits, only purchases on products at the Hodgepodge main store do. Occasionally there will be exceptions to this rule at certain events.
