This weekend I decided it was time to level up my SteamGifts account, so I hosted a set of giveaways to climb from mid-3 to level 4. I was happy to find earlier today that with five of eight giveaway recipients marking their prize as "Received", I was finally at level 4. 4.07, to be precise. But then, when I tried to enter a level 4 giveaway, I found that I had been dropped down to level 3.81. Does anyone know how or why this might have happened?
Edit: It would appear an extremely observant and helpful support staff member has probably solved this mystery. Onward and upward to level 4!

Well, enough complaining from me, what can you do to help? It's simple: my loss is your gain. I want to get to level 4 again, and I want to do it now. So please help me get rid of these bundle leftovers in the next few hours!

The train is now leaving the station for our first stop, a flight combat simulator...

Likely you gave away titles that were bundled but not yet in the bundle list. All value related to those is changed from the date the game was bundled.

Yes probably this. Thanks

I considered this, but there were only two non-bundled games I've given out, and neither had been added to the bundled game list. Any other possibilities?

Most likely some of the games you gave became cheaper. Example Payday 2 is 60dollars and is now reduced to 40 thus I get lower CV and can lower my level if It reduces them enough,

That's the first thing I thought had happened, too. But the only two games that I've given away that aren't on the bundled games list were 'Skullgirls' and 'Sir, You Are Being Hunted'. When I checked the bundle list after noticing my level drop, neither seems to have been added to the list yet.

It might be something to do with The Whispered World. It shows 50p, but it should be 20p. Maybe the CV for it was fixed but the display is still stuck at 50p/

Nice catch. Some quick back-of-the-envelope estimates (based on how much a $15 bundled game being marked as "Received" increases my level) indicates that I've lost about 30P from my total CV. So I guess my reaching level 4 early was the mistake, not my dropping down to level 3. Thanks for (probably) solving the mystery!

Thank you and good luck on getting to level 4 again (and staying there this time).
Apart from the bundle value that was mentioned earlier, my only other idea would be price drops of the games you gave away in the past.

Well, feel free to try your luck at entering a few more, if anything looks interesting to you.

Two of your games are awaiting feedback. You are at $92.60 CV where level 4 is $99.99. If both the games were marked as received still you wont reach $99.99 as they are bundled. So I guess it was an error but this will make you reach level 4 for sure.

I actually think that jatan11t might have solved this mystery. It's likely that my getting to level 4 at all was the mistake, not my dropping to level 3. No good looking back now...onwards and upwards to an honest level 4...

Thanks for participating, and for the information!

I've been noticing some wavering on my end but I figure I just keep on doing GAs until I make it past lv3 for sure.
