Money on side accounts

Wed Dec 14, 2005 9:46 pm

I'm looking for advice on how to get a minimal amount of money on a side account. I have a Maraquan Grundo on my main that I want to transfer so I can get another lab pet, but I don't have any money on the side account to adopt it. I don't use the side for much except pet storage; I feed those pets by using the soup faerie. I don't know how to transfer Neopoints over to it without getting frozen, as that's the last thing I want. Does anyone have any advice? I thought I read that it was against the rules to have a shop on the side account, and I know that it's against the rules to do play games and do daily things that earn Neopoints. So at the moment, I'm stuck.

Set up a trade on the account you're moving the Grundo to and offer on it. :) That's what I do. And I'm not frozen. And TNT say's it's okay to move items between accounts as long as they have the same email address. So I don't see a problem in it. As long as you're not "gaining" Neopoints by playing games, selling items, etc.

I usually do the trade over one whole day so I'm not logging in and out real fast and as a precaution I make sure it is a real junk item like a toy sail boat, nothing like omelettes or jellies in case they think you're doing freebies on your side accounts.

Yes I'm paranoid :P I do this fairly frequently, every few months, so I have enough to keep my side account pets in the neolodge :)

I thought you could do the dailys for a side acct as long as they were for the side acct rather than transferring to a main? Probably wrong I guess. Never bothered with a side personally:P

Nope, you can only do the dailyies on your main. Otherwise your frozen.

Buy from your side account shop. I have heard nobody that was frozen that way.

I have a main account and a side account used for guild/gallery purposes.. I have been doing dailies and games on the side account for like a year or so and maybe once switched them around to main because I have sort of stopped doing neopets.. and I have never been frozen. I have about 20k nps on my side and the rest in my main and nope, never frozen. I also transfer items using trade and nope, never been frozen.

Actually people have been frozen for that. And with the new T&C, you're not allowed to have a shop on a side account. I think a guild shop is the exception, though I still don't understand what a guild shop is needed for -- no contests, raffles, giveaways including newbie, bday, etc. packs are allowed.

gr321, you have been very lucky! The only account you're supposed to do dailies on, restock, buy scratchcards, enter Neo contests, have a shop or play games is your main account. I've been told that you shouldn't transfer np from a side to your main account. But the new T&C does say that we can "freely" transfer items between our accounts.
