I have 60 gear credits so I need 65 more to buy the Stealth Limiter but since they only sell gear credots in increments of 25 I have to pay $135 to get it.  Is it me or is that a ripoff?

Why do you say you have to pay $135?  You can get the 75-credit pack for $75, less any Jam Points you redeem (up to $22.50).  Credits are their own currency, and not directly translatable to real-world money.  Their value is dependent on a number of factors, so it's not entirely correct to assume that your existing balance is worth $60. 
 
Now, if you started with nothing, and wanted to buy the Stealth Limiter for 125 credits, you could get the 75-pack plus the 50-pack for a total of $125, which equals the cash price.  So in that case, it really is $125 whether you use cash or credits.  But wait, there's more!  If you do use credits, with the current promo you'd have some credits left over for future purchases -- which is the whole idea behind credits (and Jam Points):  having "money" in your account makes you more likely to buy additional stuff.  And that's also why you can't buy exactly however many credits you need at any time -- you're more likely to have some left over after buying one or more of the available packs.  It's part of the IK Way!

You just always have a few credits balance. I never pay full price for them anyway. Having a balance of credits I bought on sale has been a good thing.

I had 35 credits left over (from a sale price) I bought 100 (using jam points, on sale so I got 120) for $80. That got me the Stealth for a cash outlay of $80.
 
The way I look at (like others have said) the extra credits laying around are like finding that $20 bill in your jacket. Ya, it's yours but it feels like free money.
 
And in my above case, I feel I got Stealth for $80.
 
Same thing happened when A4 was announced. I had a 30 credits left, IK gave me $20 in "loyalty" jam points and I had $13. So that was $33 of which I applied $22 to a 75 credit purchase (on sale that gave me 87). So now I had 117 credits for a cash outlay of $53. A4 for $53 ain't half bad.
 
So after all is said and done I have $34 in jam points today. If I bought 100 gear credits today (since the sale is still on and I'd get 120) I'd have 137 in gear credits for a cash outlay of $69.
 
Or even better deal. If I buy 150 credits (and actually get 188) for ~$101 (using my $34 in jam points) and I'd have 205 in credits.

Pulled the trigger on 150 credits for $100.99. The sale gave me 188. Now I have 205 in my coat pocket to find in the future.

They never run out.

cool thanks

So NOW I'm pi$$ed again.
I'm trying to get the Stealth Limiter up and running in the studio WITHOUT bringing the computer in to run Custom Shop.
Where is my Serial # so I can use Authorization Manager, I have the Auth file.
Get your $hite together IK, link my Store account and my Custom shop for Kris sake!!
And please stop asking me to install SampleTank3 on my x86 computer; it does not work!
PITA

You know Valium is normally required when dealing with IK - from understanding their labyrinthine marketing strategy to installation issues  - did you not take yours before embarking on this?
