P.S. according to several people in-game, you do NOT need to upgrade your account to premium. so nice job swindling people to do that. real nice, Sqaure Enix. you could have actually mentioned that it was optional.
That wasn't true when I did it. I did it a few weeks ago, had errors when I tried to buy points and immediately quit my premium subscription. I later saw that the points purchase had gone through but I had to start my premium membership back up to do another purchase (I don't remember if it was to buy the 2nd lot of points or to buy the FanFest "ticket" with said points).

What rubbed me the wrong way was that although only a couple of days had passed, my month's subscription to NicoNico cancelled when my plan did, so I had to subscribe for the month again when I shouldn't have even been a week into my original payment >_>

It took about 2 weeks to get the code from NicoNico and then I didn't even need it because Twitch fixed their broken code at the time. It's become a gift to someone in my FC instead *Shrug*
