As of September 1st, 2015, whenever a player completes a mission or event where they would have earned a Premium Tank, which they currently own in their Garage, they will be compensated the applicable Credit amount and not the applicable Gold amount. This applies to the following:
- On-Track Missions with a Premium Tank as the reward
- Events via any other mission (Daily Log-In, Month-Long Missions)
- You will still receive Credit compensation for bonus codes for Premium Tanks that you already own
There are still transactions that will compensate the player with Gold instead of Credits. These transactions are:
- Purchasing/being gifted a Premium Tank that you already own
- Winning a Premium Tank in a live event (Twitch streams, player gatherings, social media contests, etc.)
- The Premium Tank is rebalanced substantially in-game and a refund is offered
