"New Perk with any purchase, get 5-8 Free lives"

TrueGemini69

Over the last month I've seen a notice at the top of the in game purchase screen that says "5-8 free lives with any purchase". On 3 different occasions now I've made a purchase assuming it would come with the extra lives. 1 of the occasions I made a purchase for gold bars for extra moves at the end of a level to pass the level. 1 time, same scenario except it was the 'special' play to win more lives. And this time I made the purchase starting from the main map page thinking the glitch had something to do with the purchase being made while playing a level. Not once did I ever receive the free lives with purchase "perk"

This is a guess on my part @TrueGemini69 as I have never made a purchase.

Because you say the offer is 5-8 lives that makes me think of the five standard lives we all get and the eight lives that can be obtained from the Season Pass

When you complete a Milestone level in the game you are sometimes 'rewarded' with five lives. Problem for many is that you aren't rewarded with five lives because if you have four lives remaining you only receive one of the rewarded five lives.

You can never have more than five or eight standard lives

So if you are purchasing the free lives package expecting the five lives to be added to your existing five lives then this is why you aren't seeing them.

As I say only a guess on my part
