FarmVille Subscriptions [BETA] Guide

Howdy Farmers!

FarmVille Subscriptions [Beta] are now live! Subscriptions are a beta test of a new feature that we're very excited about. A small number of Farmers have been invited to this beta test for the next several weeks. We plan to observe the test and see if these famers enjoy the feature or not; as well as identify any issues or other items we need to address before considering a full release.

How does this work? 

Farmers who are invited into the beta test will see the following screen when they load the game:


How do I subscribe? 

If you are in the beta, when the game loads you will see a “Join” button beneath your current Farm Cash total. 


Click “Join” and (some of) you will be taken to a special one-time free trade of 10,000 coins for 2 Farm Cash! All you have to do is click the “Trade Now” button at the bottom of this window and the Farm Cash is yours! 


(Note: You must have a balance of 10,000 or more coins for this to free trade to work)

When the trade is complete you will see a confirmation window telling you that the Farm Cash has been added. Click on “Okay” to proceed from this window:

[NOTE: Some Farmers in the Beta test may not see this free offer]


The next screen you will see explains the basics of the FarmVille Subscription: You can turn in coins for up to 120 Farm Cash every month, for just $10.00 USD per month!

To subscribe, just click the “Sign Up” button. If you aren’t ready to subscribe, you can click “X” in the top-right corner to leave the Coins into Cash offer window:


Clicking on the Sign Up button will take you to the Zynga Subscriptions Page with all the program details:


  • You can convert millions of coins into Farm Cash every month.
  • Full coin amounts become available again next month.
  • All packages not used within the month do not carry over to the next period.
  • Membership is automatically renewed but you can cancel at any time.


If you would like to sign up for a subscription simply click “Subscribe” to launch the secure transaction window:


Here you simply select how you would like your subscription to be handled. In the example for this guide we are going to use a Credit Card. Note that if you have already assigned a Credit Card for transactions with Facebook Credits, you may see it in this window.

If not you can select “Credit Card” and click “Buy Subscription” to enter your payment data.


Simply enter in your payment information and Facebook will use your data to handle the charge. After everything is input simply click “Submit” to complete the order.

Once the order is complete you will see the following message validating the purchase:

After closing the transaction validation, you will be taken back to FarmVille and the Subscriptions Page, note that the membership is now noted as “active” in green letters at the top-right part of this screen:


That’s all you need to do to sign up! Go ahead and click “Play” to return to the game and start trading in coins for Farm Cash!

To do this hover your mouse near your Farm Cash total. The “Join” option will be replaced by a “Claim” button. Click that button to launch the coins to Farm Cash trading window:


You will see a window similar to the one below. Sixteen different trading buttons for four different Farm Cash values are available. Each time you click one of these buttons, your coin balance will be deducted the appropriate number of coins, and your Farm Cash will increase by the stated amount.

To trade, just click one of the “Trade” buttons. In our example we are going to trade in 25,000 coins for 6 Farm Cash!


After you click the Trade button, you will see a confirmation window that you need to click “Accept” on in order to complete the trade. If you accidentally clicked the wrong Trade button, simply click the “Cancel” button and you will return to the Coins into Cash trade window.


Clicking “Accept” and the screen will animate as your coins are deducted and Farm Cash is added!


Once the animation completes, your Coins into Cash trade window will show the Trade button you chose as “Claimed” and it will be unavailable until next month!

If you want to make more Trades, simply click the button you desire to trade in. In our next example, we will trade 500,000 coins for 8 Farm Cash!


Once again, we see a confirmation window to make sure that we have selected the Trade button we desired:


Clicking the “Accept” button will cash in that trade, animate the Coins into Cash screen, deduct the appropriate amount of coins, and credit you the Farm Cash!


In the picture below, you can see that two Trades are now Claimed and unavailable, and our Farm has been credited a total of 14 Farm Cash!


How do I update my Subscription?

If you want to change your billing preference, or cancel your subscription at any time, simply click the “Manage your Subscription” button at the bottom of the Coins into Cash window:


Clicking the Manage your Subscription button will take you back to the Subscriptions Page, and you can click the “Subscription Details” button to change your information:


Your Subscriptions Details page will show you information about your subscription, as well as the next billing date. If you want to update your payment method just click on “update” next to the “Payment Method” line. 

If you would like to cancel your subscription, simply click “Cancel your Subscription” at the bottom of the Subscription Details page:


Once everything is all set, simply click the “Play” button to return to FarmVille and the Coins into Cash subscription page:


There are a few things to remember about the Coins into Cash subscriptions for FarmVille:

  1. You can claim as many of your Trades as you like each month.
  2. You can claim as many of your Trades as you want at any time.
  3. Trades not claimed within the month will not carry over to the next.
  4. You must have sufficient coin balance, as well as an active subscription, to complete a Trade and receive Farm Cash.
  5. Membership will automatically renew, but you can cancel at any time.
  6. You can turn in coins for up to 120 Farm Cash every month, for just $10.00 USD per month! ($10.00 USD will normally give you 55 Farm Cash when used for a direct purchase.
