bank question market turn

I have used every weekly market turn to increase bank size thinking I was doing myself some good. However, I was doing calculations planning a next covert level purchase and wondering what I was going to do to make it happen.
However, I did my bank calculation based upon my income at no realm alert times 96 and then multiplied by .75. My bank is exactly that. I have no bonus but have clicked that button on Sunday religiously. If you have a chance, would you check your own bank if you have been purchasing bank size with your market turns? I want to see if others are having this issue.
Is the bonus supposed to be a rolling .20 boost or is it only .20 at the time. Even still, I should have some sort of additional capacity and do not. Has anyone else been doing this and noticed any problems? Thanks CB OUT.

i did the bonus earlier in wave a few times and couldn't see a difference myself. and another question added is ... if you use this bonus ... do you need to train all miners and come off crit and undo yourself as commander ? and if you go under another commander do you get the bonus even greater off their income?
or heck lol you can just answer cool breeze q

I used the 20% increase every week except for one and looks like it gives the bonus fine. My bank should be 231,226,704,000 from my income multiplied by 96 and 0.75, and now it's 323,864,146,771.
That's a 140% incrase, so if 8 weeks have passed then it works perfectly.

I will try to email admin and see if maybe this problem is limited to me. I have done the math multiple times and it does not work out right. I should have much more offsite than I do. I will try and see.

Bank increase definately worked for me.
I always check my bank size before and after clicking the upgrade button, and it always increases just fine.
I do this with most of my army trained as miners. If you have not had miners trained, maybe thats the problem?

i don't think you have to have miners trained for it to work.
It just adds 20% onto the calculation for your bank size. so whenever you train new miners they add an extra 20% to the bank size as well. (thats how it works for SS bonus)

This might be an incredibly stupid question, but then again it might not.
Have you actually bought the market status thing for 500mil naq???
This could be a big 'lol' moment.

all I can say is I love my bank and I have no idea whether that thing works or not. It would be impossible for me to even test it lol

How could I have used the market turns without buying the supporter status? If you did not buy it, all that appears is buy supporter status. Just saying...
My calcs still come out exactly to what I have and yes I have miners trained. I played this game a long time ago and was pretty good at it and now I have returned for my first full wave but was asking about what may be a bug for me. I have emailed admin and will find out more.

I'm pretty sure all the options appeared for me from the very start of the era, excluding the daily trade thing, and there should be a purchase market thing right at the top.
Anyway, it was a long shot, but some people do stuff like that

CB, it sounds like to me you have NOT received any Bank bonus even though you have selected that as your Weekly bonus. I believe when we were asking questions about that it was to work off of the natural bank size, so Miners trained or not trained should not have any bearing upon the bank increase.
I have not used that option this Era, but it seems several players have and saw increases over their natural sized bank equal to the number of 20% increases. You may be getting the shaft... Hope Admin can help. Slug may be on to something though... Maybe the problem comes from a player who is using it who has only Era Market SS, and has never purchased a $$ SS upgrade??? Dunno, but the ones who say they were successful (you and Sorrow) if you could clarify what SS you have (market or paid SS at some point) maybe that will help narrow the issue down??
Apo, no one wants to hear the size of your 'bank' we all know a TCC bank is a big bank, TCC loves their 'banks', and a TCC bank is always more impressive than the average 'bank' ..... HAHAHA

lmao
Before I started playing this game, if someone had described it to me, I never would have believed it could be so funny.
Edit - By the way, I've never bought an SS $$ upgrade in Quantum, and my market bank upgrade seems to work just fine.
