So I've spent a decade here and still can't get into the platinum lounge. Sadwalk

I thought my invite would come today but no. Sadwalk

I hit 12 years a week ago and I still can't access it either.

They said I would have to post something nice about the redesign before I can get in.
I have a feeling I will never get to see it.

Odd, I got mine after like 5 years. Revoked after 9, readmitted recently. Maybe it was sent to an old account or something?

Here's the link detailing the secret platinum membership....

Over the past year or so, Slickdeals has seen an increasing number of lurkers out there. Over 5 million people come to this site to take advantage of the deals every month, but most never really get involved with the community. In an effort to remedy that, the SD team has begun to implement a number of changes. The first change (which you may have already noticed), is that everyone's rep has been reset to zero. This should be helpful to new users who might be intimidated by the gigantic rep counts of some of our veterans.

Slickdeals has also recently introduced a number of new membership features. Rest assured... Although these features do have some nominal fees associated with them, standard "basic" memberships will remain free for the foreseeable future.

Feature
Description
Cost
Nerp Negative Rep. If someone writes something really stupid, you can take their reps away. $0.10 per nerp; you may buy unlimited nerps for $5.99/mo. with a two-year contract.
Larger Avatar Avatars may be upgraded from the stock 75x75 pixels to a more spacious 100x100 pixels. $10 for a six month upgrade; price includes up to three avatar changes. Additional avatar changes are $4.99 each.
Username Change (self/other) If you're starting to regret your original username choice, or if someone else's username is starting to irritate you, you can now have the name changed. There is a one-time change license fee of $19.99 (applies to both self- and other-changes). The cost of a change is an additional $4.99 per name change.
Username Protection (self/other) If you have a good name and want to make sure that others don't mess with it (or, if you're messing with someone and you don't want him to change his name back), SD offers Username Protection. This can be purchased for $4.99/mo, or $3.99/mo. with a 2-year contract. Multiple subscriptions cost the same.
Secret Platinum Forum There has always been a mod/staff specific forum where all of the best deals are kept. Free televisions, unlimited internet points, next-gen products at closeout prices... Now, SD is opening that up to all users. Daily access is available for $8.99; unlimited monthly access is $14.99.
Ban Button Tired of his tone? Ban him! SD has just introduced a user-initiated two-week ban button. $19.99 per ban.


Additionally, Slickdeals is proud to introduce a new Platinum Level of membership.

Attachment 1889262

Platinum members will have unlimited nerps, extra-roomy 150x150 pixel avatars, unlimited access to the Secret Platinum Forum, three free username changes (either self-or-other) per year, and username protection for themselves and up to one additional user. Additional features are still available at the posted prices.

Platinum Membership will list for $99.99, but if you purchase before 4/2/2013, it can be had for just $89.99!
