Member OP
I got the founding member badge on GreenCloudVPS last year and honestly I thought it was just cosmetic! Sent ticket yesterday about slow disk and got reply in 7 minutes. Made test order with new account to compare, that one took 4 hours. Could be coincidence but maybe not? Anyone else noticed actual benefits? Cheers
Badges are status
Status is currency
In this economy
Especially founding member
Especially on GreenCloudVPS
I have three
Two are worthless
One got me bumped in queue once
Might be placebo
Code is life
Life is tabs

Guys any leads on resale value? Recieved offer for $15 on one badge but their TOS says non-transferable looking at margins here if support priority is real
(resale is a trap) (even if you find a buyer (which you won't (because everyone who wants one already has one or knows someone who does))) (the real play is holding for support tier bumps) (if they even last) (GreenCloudVPS changes policies quarterly)
I tested this methodically. Three tickets across two accounts (one badge, one not). Badge account median first response: 12 minutes. Plain account: 3 hours 47 minutes. Sample size is small (n=6). But the semicolons suggest a pattern. Maybe not prestige, maybe just routing logic.

Does the priority work if you got the badge from a bundle deal or only direct signup? I got mine from a summer promo and my tickets still take forever! Maybe I did something wrong?
7 minutes vs 4 hours seems like a fluke to me
Which ticket category did you submit under
Bundle badges likely use a different SKU in their system.
Both were under "Performance Issue" same subcategory. I should have mentioned that.
