If you're on twitter, @JagexSupport seems quite responsive.

There's a friend chat for No Sabotage Trouble Brewing, "Tbrew" They have a thread running on the rsof: [qfc]75-76-756-65122170[/qfc] :)

I would expect it would, as this was the case with buying game cards or the premier club membership packages. Though its a reasonable question to try and get a mod to asnwer if youre still worried. Im really hoping we can buy the premier club packages again in the new year with bonds, theyd be silly not too offer it. Redeeming a bond pushes your billing date forward 14 days, so it doesn't affect your rate. If you have a recurring subscription, it doesn't get cancelled when you redeem. You can see your next billing date when you go to Account -> Manage Subscription -> Billing Home -> "Click 'here' to manage active subscriptions." I miss the times when it would show your remaining membership days in the lobby. Except that's exactly what Jagex did. Jagex hasn't controlled the gp price of bonds at all. The gp price of bonds can rise and fall as players trade them. No, they defined bonds as worth a set amount of spins/solomon coins. They have limits and some sort of control over the gp value of bonds with this, even if it's not obvious. Out of curiousity, what's the gp value of spins/solomon coins?

Any time a bond is redeemed, Jagex will have gained more than if someone had outright bought the service with cash from Jagex. (Only exception being 2 RuneFest tickets for 35 bonds).

That security is what has opened up a revenue stream for Jagex that third-party goldsellers can't tap in to (some people just don't want to risk that). Goldsellers' prices aren't the only thing that will affect the GP value of bonds. In order for someone to get GP/items for purchased bonds, there has to be a player willing to trade their GP/items. So the worth of membership/spins/runecoins(and in the future, other items) in terms of GP is a factor as well.

That's something I'm looking forward to as well. On the Q&A stream they mentioned they have a couple of charities that they favor, and they might allow community choice in future.
