Razer should be more upfront about the zSilver redeem fee | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
Firstly I'm quite apprieciative of the zSilver program, allowing fans to earn peripherals. However, many people aren't aware of the zSilver redemption fee, and I feel Razer should be more upfront. Perhaps advertising the promotion as heavily discounted (90% or something, I don't know the exact rate) off a product, as I feel the current way is disengenuinous and misleading.

And what redemption fees did you face? Are you talking about taxes, because those vary for every country and some dont have any taxes as well.
For those who don't know, Razer newly implemented a system where items bought with silver are not completely 'free'. Sort of like a 'silver tax'. For me, it was around $10 USD for a $100 equivalent item. I don't know if the tax varies from item to item, or what countries have this implemented compared to others; I live in the US. Nor am I an expert on how this works, but it seems as if this was an additional fee on top of any sales tax that would have already been accounted for.



Keep in mind also that silver purchases do not account for shipping fees, and those still need to be paid out of pocket like before. But the way I see it, it is still a heavy discount on a quality product, so saving up silver is still worth it.
