Stamp Card Reward Info (Patreon)
Content
Here's all the info on how the stamp cards work, what rewards are available, and updates for rewards going forward.
How the stamp cards work
Every month for both Sticker and Pin club, you'll get a card in the mail with your stickers. The card will say what month it's for, what the theme is, and it will have a little sticker on the bottom corner. That sticker is a stamp sticker that you can use to fill out the 12 spots on the stamp collecting card.
When your stamp card is complete (front and back filled) please email the photos of the front and back of the stamp card to patreon@derptiles.art since Patreon doesn't allow for photos in the chat.

Upcoming Changes to Rewards and Stamp Cards
When we started the Patreon reward system, we wanted to offer really cool rewards to those who have supported us throughout the years, but at the time we didn't consider how sustainable or fair the rewards are/were. For example, when we started the Stamp Card Rewards, we had less than 100 members, so custom commissions were possible since there were only 5 or so potential commissions that needed to be done per month. However, we're now approaching the point where 10 to 20+ people are redeeming their rewards each month and, while I would love to continue offering it, it's unfortunately not possible for me to keep up with it anymore.
For fairness, we realized that offering physical rewards is not fair for International patrons due to the difference in shipping price. In the US, we're able to cover the package shipping cost, however it's difficult for us to cover the shipping cost for International patrons since it can range anywhere from $15 to $35 depending on where they are located, and that's not including any customs/duties/import fees that may arise in the process.
Therefore, after the currently available rewards are gone, the only reward available will be the $15 gift card. We'll also be stopping the Stamp Card, so when you reach your subscription anniversary, all you'll have to do is message us in the Patreon chat and we'll be able to get you your reward immediately instead of having to go through the messy/complicated reward redemption process we have right now.
If you're wondering what will happen to the derpy stickers (the stamps), fear not since we'll be upgrading them! While the Stamp Card will be going away, we'll be upgrading the derpy sticker stamps to also be laminated vinyl instead of paper, so you'll be able to use them like any of our other stickers. They'll also still be the same size as the current stamps.
If you've made it this far, thanks for bearing with us through this huge wall of text! We're really grateful for everyone's support and we hope this new reward structure will allow us more time to do bigger and better things for you. It's a lot of changes, so if anything was unclear, please leave a question for us down below so we can clarify it for everyone!
Here are the Patreon Exclusive rewards! Skonk, Noot, and the wooden bp pin!
