Honestly, premium badges should not have been available until all details were laid out clearly and transparently. Some of the perks didn't even work at first (such as extra dailies) and most of them had to be dug from other sources because the official badge tooltip had close to no information ("other various perks" could really mean anything).
I don't understand why giving that one free spin (especially given that overall, it's real money for pretty much a gamble) when earlier notifications talked about a spin and not a spin point. "Refunding" in turnips seems like a poor decision to make in regards to users who have supported this website and helped make it happen. I really hope some compromise can be made somewhere.
