Bittersweet Candy Bowl

The Bittersweet Gold Card

Many aspire to own one, yet few meet the criteria to be granted a Bittersweet Gold Card. Some have said a glimpse of its gold lustre grants the cardholder access to the upper echelons of high society, sways business associates, and waives speeding fines. Such prestige and power may seem out of reach to you. But to members of Bittersweet Club International, nothing is impossible. Upon signing up, you will be issued with the Bittersweet Gold Card,* your key to the Member Services Centre and recognition of your status as a respected Club member.

Exclusive Gifts

Club membership does not come without its rewards. With your welcome letter and card, we will provide a limited edition Jasmine keychain, pictured left. This item is never to be sold in the store, and is a member exclusive—our way of thanking you for your loyalty. In addition to your welcome gift, we will send you two more unique gifts in separate mailings throughout your first year, and a further three in every continuing membership year. Be surprised and delighted with unexpected gifts waiting in your mailbox—another unique benefit of Club membership.*

Exclusive Content

Your Bittersweet Club International membership gives you early access to comics unavailable to less distinguished readers. Over a hundred pages of member-exclusive comics are available, and more comics are on the way! Just remember—as a Club member, you’ll always be given first priority for new content.

Ad-free

Club members will be able to use their credentials to disable ads site-wide, providing a cleaner experience of the website and its comic archive. While this is possible without our help, Club members will notice small tweaks to navigation features obscured by ads that are unavailable without Club membership credentials.

Preferential treatment

Club membership bestows prestige on the select ranks of those who join. As yet another premier feature of the Bittersweet Club International program, members may reserve a name to use in page comments, and protect it with a password. This reserved name, as well as Club members’ forum and Candybooru accounts will also designated as a valued supporter of the comic. This feature is configurable in the Member Services Centre at any time.

Patronage of the Arts

Bittersweet Club International exists to serve all the needs of its members. While the benefits and rewards included are plentiful, its most important feature is that it supports Bittersweet Candy Bowl’s publication. Updating (at least!) three times a week, the comic takes many hours a week to plan, write and edit, not to mention the efforts involved in setting up frivolous nonsense like this! As such, the comic and the support it gets from readers has become Taeshi and SuitCase’s primary source of income.

All readers help the comic simply by visiting or sharing the comic with friends, but Bittersweet Club International members have the opportunity to be a part of something special. By going the extra mile and making a generous contribution, Club members will receive more than the benefits listed above—they’ll be making the single most effective contribution to the continuation of the series.
