72 Hour: Keep Clam and Carry On Deal

Hello There Clammers!

TinyCo just released a special Clam deal for those players who’ve reached District 5 or higher…

clam deal

Basically it breaks down to:
If you purchase the $19.99 package of Coins or higher, you’ll receive $19.99 worth of Clams (which totals 600) for free.

This does NOT work the same as the other deal, this pertains to buying coins only.  You MUST buy at least $19.99 worth of coins to get the bonus to get the bonus clams.

Remember you have 72 hours to decide if this is a deal for you…..

What will YOU decide?  Do you think this is a deal worth taking?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

    Until this new buy coins task came up, I still had one showing from when I very first started the game for a £4.99, it had a timer on it originally too like this one but when it ran out the task never disappeared, it just stayed on the list until this one replaced it today. So when this ones timer runs out, I assume the same will probably happen. As I’ve figured out through playing the game, you can only have so many pending tasks at one time and new Ines won’t appear til old ones have gone. So this coin task being there is pretty annoyingg as I’ve no plans to buy any coins, no need as they’re very easily earned on the game, unlike clams! Lol! So does anyone know if there is a way to clear it off the list without completing it? Like a way of skipping tasks or something? If o manage to get rid, it would leave a space for a new task which would be preferable to something I’ll never do.

    Thanks in advance folks!

  2. I can’t purchase any clams in the game, so how else can I buy them outside the game?

    • Why can’t you? What issues are you having? If it is the squirrel running round n round n round, try exiting game. Log out of the App Market you use. Restart the device. Log back into the App Market. Then relaunch the game and try again.

  3. So I did the clams buying test and it didn’t work bunny. The two deals “$5 and $20 buy coins get clams for same amount” is still there after i bought $20 of clams. I remember when I first started out the game and got free clams for buying $50 of clams but can’t remember how many and wasn’t sure if there was a promotion going on during that time. I was busy watching Peter in his skimpy roller skating outfit. Turns me on, lol. Only Peter can wear that and make it work.

  6. Um, I just bought clams and just got double clams for free. I thought maybe it was a mistake because they weren’t initially there after Peter popped up, but in a second or two, poof, there they were. Of course, with my luck and experience, I will be charged for it. (Last time, when the free 50 clams came up, I got charged $1.99 for them and no, I did go to the store to buy ’em… TinyCo eventually gave me 50 MORE clams for my troubles.)

    • Let me put it this way…
      If you do NOT get it direct from TinyCo INSIDE the game… hack, scam, illegal, etc etc etc.

      You are putting your game and YOU at risk with ANY hack. Think of this, what ELSE are you allowing them to put into game? What else is coded into that info they are “giving” you for free. I have seen a very very ugly side to it. Identity Theft. Bank Accounts wiped. And so so so much more. Please do NOT play into it. NEVER give out your account info or download something that is NOT legally obtained.

      As for us and our site, we will NOT allow it here. Anyone trying to advertise such behavior will have their comments removed. We protect the players.

  8. I don’t mind spending a little money on a game to enjoy it a bit more, but I am waiting on a sale, not buy coins get clams….that really isn’t much incentive for those of us in the upper levels. If Tiny Co reads these, I would suggest no discount on the smallest packet and have a tiered discount as you get into the larger clam purchases. So no discount on the smallest, but maybe 33% on the largest. Maybe this could be a “Christmas” surprise.

    • I had the same thing happen to me with the buy option. I hard closed my game (ie force closed the app) and restarted it and it worked. Give that a try, if it doesn’t work contact TinyCo and let them know you’re having an issue with it.

      As far as Vinny goes…the timer is to unlock Vinny in 3 days you’ll get a free exclusive building. However, you do have as much time as you need to unlock Vinny. But if you do it in 3 days you’ll get that free building 🙂

  11. This isn’t a deal. It’s a rip. They say if you buy coins for 21.78 ( Canadian pricing) you get the equivalent free clams…so that would mean I pay for a measly 17250 coins, which I can earn for free in two days in my Quahog, and getting 600 clams…how is that a deal? If they upped the coins given for the deal to something like 100,000 it would be better. Or sell the 600 clam package at half price

    • Not every lil thing is for everyone. There are players that do need coins as well as clams so this is for them.

  12. To make it a fair game. Why doesn’t TinyCo allow you to buy clams with coins at a ratio of 10 to 1 which is what their offering to pay you for all players and it make it equitable for all players and make their advertising “Best of all it’s Freakin Free” more or less true. Instead you can earn 1 clam a day if your fast enough at level 50+. Come on
    TinyCo I dare you to do the right thing. Make the game fun and challenging again. Right now it’s not, you have to many challenges that require clam purchases to expedite your quest. People will still buy clams.

    • I have not seen a game yet that turns coins into the premium game currency on a daily basis. Good idea, but I do not see it happening. The “Free” means you do NOT have to pay to buy the app itself. It has nothing to do with game play. 😉

      • Yes that is true. However that is stated before you ever click on the app and within the add it makes no referance to your statement.
        Read it again. Most people click on the app because they love the show not TinyCo thats the hook if you take it as written. Having to spend money to make it through any quest especially time limited would make their statement untrue and illegal from a legal standpoint.

        • I understand what you are trying to explain, but it just does not apply in an app market. Now, had they advertised that in the game…I would be in total agreement with you. I am just trying to help you see another view and understand the difference between App Markets selling items where the “free” comes into play and the Company that creates and runs that App and makes all sorts of things for the game…you “purchased”…from an App Market, not them…for $0 (free).

          You are in an app MARKET seeing that info. Where your ONLY Options are to buy an app or get it for free. You are not playing the game there. The market only houses it and passes it to players on compatible devices. It has NOTHING to do with what items and costs go into a game. Allow me to provide another perspective on it. If you have an issue with a clam cost of an item in a game or cost of coin for a building, would you got to Google Play/iOS/Amazon about it? The market is a complete separate entity from the game.

          Honestly, if you feel the wording is “poor” and have a suggestion for how else they can word it for just the sale of their game… Tell them. Contact TinyCo in your game menu, help, contact, and tell them what YOU think it should say. 🙂

          • Believe me if you will the app market is well aware of TinyCo’s problems, not just Family Guy but all their games. I downloaded Texas Hold’em (free) and expected to buy chips. The game crashed
            every time I tried to load it another TinyCo glitch? How long do you think your major vendors will tolerate a Company that has to deal with customer complaints before they pull their apps out of their market?? Remember they distributed the apps and refund the customer. I contacted TinyCo. 14 times and called 4 times without a return call and form letter responces via helpshift about not being
            able to claim prizes within my game. The gaming app market is huge and they’re losing market share on a daily basis because they
            don’t have a good customer service program. Personally I took the bait, I spent several thousand through addiction alone trying to reach the promise land of next level to win it all.
            Then I realized what a farce it all was with TinyCo, keep in mind all
            of my correspondence with them was prior to 09/08/14 the day comic-con ended. I know you are aware of all of thls by the number
            of complaints you field on a daily basis. Part of my business model

            was “what brings you up can also take you down”. TinyCo needs to change something soon especially in customer service and their game structures because people and vendors just won’t put up with it. I speak from experience not just blowing steam.

  16. For the first deal (the one you get as a new player), does that go for either? Mine specifically says buy coins, get cans. (I’ve never done it – haha – though I have bought clams before.)

    I’m considering this deal, but I’ll probably pass. In my opinion, it’s a way to add time pressure to a regular clam purchase. Unless something pops up in the next few days that I want clams for.

From what I see so far from other players and what Alissa is telling me is that not only is that works like that but u can also but any amount of “clams” and get that same amount for free. I still have that deal going on and not sure who’s correct cuz I really want to take advantage of that deal but if what you’re saying is true than I’m not gonna go and spend $50 on clams if I’m not getting another $50 of free clams.

        • She means that the 4.99 or now 19.99 offer is good with ANY amount you buy at that level or ABOVE. So say you buy $100 worth, you get the offer you selected with it (4.99 or 19.99). So you are not limited to JUST that amount. So it is a matter of what YOU need in your game anything at the 4.99 and up or 19.99 and up will still get you the side offer.

          Does that make better sense?

            • I do not see anywhere that she stated that. Can you please point that out?

              I think you are misreading some of her comments to other readers. There are TWO deals that are possible in the game now. So I think that is where you have confusion. If you buy COINS now with the TWO offers going (only if both still in your game), you might possibly trigger BOTH payouts. So if you buy 19.99 in coins, you may not only get the 19.99 in Clams but also trigger the 4.99 in Clams. It is not buy clams get clams free. You still have to trigger the deal via Coins.

              Does that help?

As far as I can remember, the previous offer was “Buy $5 COINS, get $5 clams,” but I bought AND got clams. If this deal works the same way, I’m sold.

  39. Coins are so easily obtainable. If by the time you are in district 5 you should have no problem getting coins. If you want $20 worth of clams, just buy $20 worth of clams. This is not a “real deal” a real deal is buy 600 clams get 600 clams for free. But it’s not, it’s like a phising scam for those that misread thinking they are gonna get 600 clams for free. In the end all you are really doing is paying for a perimium currency.
