Upgrading just for few extra cents per day you'll get from your own clicks is not a deal, is more a loan given to the system. I don't know what is the difference in US/Canada but here I have only ~5 cents extra earnings comparing with my standard ref's earnings. This makes about $18/yr. So why should I pay those $17?
Yes, upgrading is a great benefit when you have active refs. Up to that moment you'd better focus on tasks.
That's exactly the point I was trying to make all along. The biggest perk from an upgade is based on direct referrals.
Once you start making dollars from tasks, daily, the extra ads you get during the day mean nothing.
