Traffic Exchange Scoop

I’ve noticed recently that some people aren’t sure what the best choice is for buying Trafficera tokens. Some argue that buying surf and bonus multipliers are the way to go. While others say you should buy credits. I boldly declare that they are both right! However the choice mainly lies with how often you surf. Here is an example to illustrate why surfing affects your decision. Warning: This includes some math, hopefully it doesn’t bore you too much!

I am currently a platinum member at Trafficera, which means I earn 1 credit for every second that I surf. If you are not upgraded, this will be less. If I buy a 50% surf multiplier for 1000 tokens, I can earn a maximum 5,400 credits per hour with the multiplier (excluding bonuses). This is also assuming that you surf perfectly, non-stop for 1 hour.

Looking at the marketplace right now, I can purchase 6,600 credits for 700 tokens. That means if I only had time to surf for 1 hour, buying the 50% multiplier is too expensive. I would get more credits by buying the 6,600 credits, plus save time by not having to surf.

This because when you buy 6,600 credits for 700 tokens, you get 9.43 credits per token. In order to make the 50% surf multiplier the same value as buying 6,600 credits, you would have to surf 9,429 seconds or a little over 2.6 hours! To make the 50% surf multiplier an even better deal, you would want to surf significantly more than that.

Unfortunately this does require a little math to figure out what is best for you, so hopefully that thought doesn’t scare you. These numbers will change based on the prices you are looking at. But if you know you don’t have much time to surf, in most cases using those valuable tokens to buy credits is probably the wiser choice.

Hopefully this helps you in deciding what to do with those hard earned Trafficera tokens!
