How much do I need in my Spotwalla bank for a 50CC Quest?

[TXBootScoot]

Hey all, I’m doing a coast to coast from JAX to SAN next month and I’m trying to find how much I need in my spotwalla account for a trip from DFW, TX to JAX to SAN and then back to DFW?

I have about $30 in there now. How do you figure out how much will be needed for the entire ride? Is there a formula somewhere?

I searched for a thread about this, but couldn’t find one. If it exists, please link to it here.

I run multiple devices with a push frequency of five minutes and they all run 24/7. I added $20 in March (with a balance still remaining) and this is what I have used in the last six months.

Thirty bucks should do you just fine for a long time to come...

Oh yah, the formula:

$0.03 a day for each device polled (or pushed). If you do not use the device/app, there is no charge for that day.
$0.04 a day for storing and displaying all your data.

One device = $0.07 a day...
Two devices = $0.10 a day...
Three devices = $0.13 a day...
etc...

Or become a premier plus member and Spotwalla is included.

Or use the spotwalla IBA ride coupon, good for 7 days, for free

Or become a premier menu and Spotwalla is included.

Not quite... That perk requires Premier PLUS for an additional $10. Quite the deal, actually, if you have only one or two devices...

"Premier Plus is a special program that includes all Premier benefits (above) PLUS one year of SPOTWALLA usage (for up to 2 devices)."

Very helpful, thank you all!
Quick follow up question—become a premier member of what? I’m intrigued!

....and after all that, Jason makes it even easier to figure out how much to pay:

And my apologies for not being clear.... These membership changes do not affect the IBA's relationship with SpotWalla nor do they change the benefits of being a Premier Plus member. The only difference is that Premier Plus members will receive a free year of an Individual membership which has the same exact benefits you have with the current program.

Thank you for all you do for the community as a whole and the IBA specifically.

You're fine...plenty there for all of what you wrote.

Now, if you are judicious in your use of the software, you fire it up a day or two in advance, making sure that all is working and getting all of the bugs worked out.

As @Norman stated above, apply thru Spotwalla for the IBA ride discount with the start/end dates, and not worry about it as you're doing your ride.

Luck to you!

Note that Spotwalla is changing to membership on Sept 8th, so simplifies this discussion! Cheaper and no worries about what's on account.
