Karen says
it must be nice for some people to get to buy gems its not fair that pogo doesn,t do this untill at the end of the month i don,t get paid untill the 1st i am upset i will be left out of this sale so very Sad another dispoointment for me
MomsBassetHound says
Pogo does it to coincide with special events, and the birthday for Club Pogo falls on the 23rd.
Now that we all know that Pogo does this you just need to start a fund for when the next sale happens. If it’s around the holidays, like the first gem sale, that will not be in the beginning of the month either.
And not everyone gets paid on the 1st. My check comes on the 4th Wednesday of every month. It can come as early as the 22nd or as late as the 28th. This month it’s the 25th. So it’s different for everyone.

I am lucky and do not have to wait for the first of the month, but then I do wait until a good sale before I purchase. I don’t look at the price per gem but what the cost of a badge would be…a 16 gem badge costs me $3.20 but on sale at 5.cents a gem, it is .80 cents. It does make a difference. It is like going to the grocery store, you watch the sales and save.
Blysse says
I’m happy to see the sale extended to the smaller Gem packages this time!
Captiva007Pl says
I bought the largest pack the last time they had a “sale”. I should have known that wasn’t a very good sale. This time is much better but it won’t let me buy the large pack now. 🙁
MomsBassetHound says
There have only been 2 sales prior to this, 1 December 2017 and 1 in March 2018.
If you were talking about a couple of weeks ago there was no sale. Pogo was just advertising them. That was the lowest thing they ever did b/c everyone thought it meant a gem sale when they saw it.
The maximum amount of gems you can have is 4164, probably why you can’t purchase the largest package.

I am not really getting a sale. Cause when I bought the 39.99 pack for 550 gems it cost me 62.00. Wow I didn’t know that it would cost me that much. I am glad to have the gems. I was gonna buy a few more but I cannot pay that price. I am happy for the ones that got a good sale. Happy playing and have fun doing your badges.Thank you Pogo, and thanks to Badgehungry for always posting and letting us know what is going on. Just to let you know, I love this site. I been coming here for a long time now. I use to tell everyone that they should come here if they want to know what is going on in Pogo. Have a good day everyone and take care.
Lura says
Thanks prosie!
GerBear18220 says
I just bought the big package when Pogo had GEM GALORE all over the main page….
I know it is my own dumb fault for not checking closer but I got so excited to think there was a sale going on I never even read anything, just bought and then found out it was NO SALE AT ALL…
A lesson well learned but I also say shame on Pogo for doing that and shame on me for falling for it
MomsBassetHound says
That was probably the lowest thing that Pogo ever did. I am sure that you aren’t the only member that purchased them. I’m sorry!!
Suz
RyzandShyn says
GerBear18220 –
I agree with Suz – it seems like a planned trick to get people to buy gems so that they would have so many they couldn’t take advantage of the sale coming the very next week.
I’m sorry that happened to you.
Kathy says
I bought the largest package 2,500 for this sale
Catherine L says
I am giving it a miss this time round. I bought when gems were on sale before. I have cut down a lot on spending. I have plenty of better things to do with my money. This is Pogo just trying to sell more. Not for me but good luck to other who feel otherwise.
rchvanho2 says
got a small pack TYPogo
Cher says
In Best Buy an EA gift card is $20 for 275 gems. So how is this a sale? It’s the same.
Happy Birthday Pogo!!
Cher 🙂
MomsBassetHound says
It’s a sale b/c normally you don’t get 275 gems if you purchase the $20 package online.
Suz
windmillian says
My thoughts exactly. You’re also not charged a sales tax, like pogo’s site will.
prosie87 says
Were online do you buy them?
Lura says
Walmart! I wrote this guide on how to gift Gems but the process of buying it for yourself is the same except you will just use the code for your account. 🙂

beyechonjr says
i bought the largest.. however it said the sale couldnt go thru to try again.. when i went back the two largest were greyed out.. but my gem amount didnt go out.. went to see in my acct shows the charge there.. but will wait til later to see if it corrects itself.. but i wont be able to purchase anything until it is..have a drs appt this morning so will wait til this afternoon..
Caroline says
Note: the maximum number of Gems you can have in your account is 4,164. If you try to purchase a gem package that will put you over the max amount, your sale will not go through. More than likely that is why the 2 largest packages are grayed out.
beyechonjr says
i only had 120 gems so having too many wasnt the problem…i left ff which didnt show the increase and went to chrome and that showed it.. went to drs appt and when i came back ff also showed the correct amount..so everything is ok with gems..
MomsBassetHound says
Sign out of your Pogo account and they should be there when you sign back in.
Suz
mjboder says
You are right , turned off computer and when I turned it back on , showed correct amount
jwalters1395 says
Try signing out and then back in. It didn’t update my gems amount after I purchased the large package and it was grayed out when I went back to see what was going on. So I signed out and back in again and the gems amount was correct.
Hope it works for you!

Pattypooh666 says
I purchased the $79.99 gem package. I already had gems on my account. I do not see where the gem sale was added on to the account. I hope it will fix itself later. I’m not a very happy camper.
mjboder says
Mine did same thing , not showing purchase on home page, when you go into a game, it shows the correct amount.
GerBear18220 says
bey……
leave pogo and come back in and the change should be there in your gem amount
Mickey Smithson says
Pogo!! Just bought some gems and they didn’t register to my account but my charge went through!!!! Also my home page showed 5 more gems than Pogo did on purchase page. Why do I keep falling for these Pogo bait and switch events??????
Madeforlovingguy says
I must admit I am a little disappointed. I realise that their birthday is now, but the vast majority of people get paid at the end of a month or beginning of a month. I get paid next Friday and every 4 weeks which is when I buy gems and because this sale wasn’t advertised I haven’t got the finances to take advantage. Admittedly I do only ever buy the 500 gem pack but it’s still 50 gems I’m missing out on. But it is what it is.
Happy shopping and spending to all those able to take advantage of this sale.
Brenda M. says
I am so glad I waited until this morning to see what the sale was n gems, because with only 66 gems remaining in my account, I needed gems!! 🙂 I will buy the largest package, but what I want to know is why does it say “Incl.Bonus 1300”? Regularly there are 2,000 gems in that particular package, which is 500 more. than before!
Have fun, everyone! 🙂
tiggerlicious196 says
Because that’s how many bonus gems you get
Brenda M. says
The way I see it there are aonly 500 “bonus” 2,000 + 500 bonus gems- 2,500
MomsBassetHound says
But the normal 2,000 gem package includes 800 bonus gems, so when you add in the additional 500 there are a total of 1300 bonus gems.
Suz
jigsawing says
It was worth waiting for as I was about out. Purchased the large pack which should float me through the next couple of months. Thanks, Pogo!
tiggerlicious196 says
Not much of a sale though wish it could go until thursday as I’d take any extra gems as it is something
jhazeleyes says
I am glad about the gems, but what happened to the tokens, Pogo always gave away tokens on big Birthday sales, I guess they don’t count anymore, 🙁
Rose Kenoski says
Help Please! I just bought the pk of gems (275) for $19.99 It took my money but gave me NO new gems. How do I get hold of them to get this fixed.?
Rose Kenoski says
Going to contact them now. I will keep you all posted.
Rose Kenoski says
I got all my gems now. I had to log out of pogo and back on. 🙂 Happy Playing and Good Luck to all.
afriend says
Mine showed right up after I bought them. But the last 2 sales
you got 2800 gems instead of the normal 2k. But anything extra is
nice and worth waiting for.
MomsBassetHound says
No, on the first gem sale we got 2600, only got 2800 in the last sale. It’s been different every time, but it’s still better than 2000 🙂

Own5pets says
Thanks for the heads up.🌸 I bought the large gem package. What a steal.
shelnick9293 says
I didn’t know Best Buy had the card. I get the same deal through Walmart online and they send me the pin code in an email so I don’t need the physical card. On this gem sale the only bargains are the 2 largest gem ones but I just can’t see myself spending that much on them at one time but more power to people that can and do.
Inquirer00 says
I just bought the $19.99 package, and my gems weren’t added. I checked for an email stating that I’d made a premium purchase, but nothing had come through. I thought maybe I’d not completed the transaction and went back to the purchase page and tried again. Still no gems or email. Then I went to the minimall to get my free items and also did one gem purchase. All of a sudden, my gem total increased, but by double what I’d intended to buy. Then I remembered that the same thing had happened to me last time. I also remembered that that was the first time I’d bought gems on the revised gem-buying page. I’ve never had this happen in all the years I bought before. Is this delay tactic meant to get people to do just what I did and order twice??? Does anyone think I stand a chance of getting the second charge back this time?
Cindy4764 says
As many folks have been mentioning, what happens at times is that the gems don’t show up until you sign out and then back in. Or, I’d try refreshing the page first and if that doesn’t work, then sign out and back in.
It also happens with badge count after winning a badge and probably some other things as well. Refreshing the page sometimes works but if it doesn’t signing out and then back in usually does work.
nessa says
But the way you put it you did buy gems twice.
You said you bought one pack then you went and “tried again”, this was your second purchase.
I don’t think we get a receipt in our emails anymore, at least not since they changed ot the new the gem store page.
We don’t even get an online “final confirmation page” saying how much you paid, your gems before and your final gem balance like we used to get.
I don’t remember having this problem, my gems are added right away the second I click Confirm and get the green checkmark but next time, before you “try again” maybe check your gem transaction record, if the transaction went through it will say Added X-amount of gems, also check your bank to see if they charged your account, then completely close your browser and log back in to see if the gem balance shows correct
Contacting a Pogo help person can be a hassle, maybe doing all the above is faster and better before you contact them.
Lizzbrad says
I have been having such a good time buying badges, I think I need to buy more gems tomorrow……….hahaah. The good news is that I have not been a big buyer of badges in the past and this may be the end. I will wait and see.
Cindy4764 says
For those wondering about the last Gem sale(s) I looked them up. The last one was Spring Special, March 19 and only three packages were on sale.
Get 275 Pogo Gems for $19.99 (+25 more than before) – 7.3c per Gem
Get 1700 Pogo Gems for $79.99 (+450 more than before) – 4.7c per Gem
Get 2800 Pogo Gems for $119.99 (+800 more than before) – 4.3c per Gem
The one before that (the first sale) was Holiday Special, December 11 and again only three packages were on sale.
Get 700 Pogo Gems for $39.99 (+200 more than before) – 5.7c per Gem
Get 1,650 Pogo Gems for $79.99 (+400 more than before) – 4.8c per Gem
Get 2,600 Pogo Gems for $119.99 (+600 more than before) – 4.6c per Gem
So, yes, the largest package is smaller this time than either of the other two times but this time they put every single package on sale and that is good for the folks who usually get the smaller packages.
Krazichic says
I have a feeling tokens are going away and you have to use Gems for everything. I asked the Blog in Pogo about the Mini Mall, and response was that all token items will be FREE from now on. How sad as I can’t afford throwing my money away on gems.
MomsBassetHound says
Pogo Llama has been saying that for months. She gets questions under every blog. She even said last week that the bonus token promotions were going to be stopped, but gave no date.
But with making all the static mini items free there wouldn’t be anything to use tokens for, other than expressions.
