Was a bit of a impulsive decision but I decided to try and accomplish my year end target of getting to 800 Education in a couple of days. Why? Because I realized that the Free Education doubles the education rating of universities in the game.
I put in a bid for the card at the last price and it was met. Awesome! Regret buying those 4x schools at the start. Should have just bought universities even though they're more expensive.
With the number of universities required to meet the target cut in half, it suddenly seemed a lot more doable. If anyone else is trying a strategy of maximizing their rewards from education, the Free Education card is a must.
So, once my bid was filled, I went out on a University buying spree. So much so, I managed to hit an Education rating of 840.
Has there been a difference yet? So far no new technology cards in the couple of days since I crossed 800. But technically, I should be getting a new card every 4 days or so on average. Let's see if it works as expected!
