Medals Giving Premium

Concise description:
Medals will have a third rank, after gold, that gives a certain amount of premium, maybe like 1 week or so. Like the ranks for medals will be bronze, silver, gold, and then platinum, the platinum medal giving you a free week of premium. (I'm not sure about the week duration, maybe less, maybe more, I'm looking for input ;) )

Specifics:
I said most of it in the description, but basically medals will give members 'free' premium for a short period of time. (i say 'free' because they still would have to work for the medal in order to get it.)

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
Because there are many members of this site that aren't premium, and will never think about becoming premium, because they don't think its worth it. If medals gave them a little taste of what premium is like, they have a better probability of spending money on the site for premium. For already premium members, it would give them a little more time to enjoy the site they love before renewing their premium, and it would be a nice reward for being good at the games.

And movie theaters should give away free popcorn....

The suggestion of creating a 4th medal is one thing (and i don't think we need another), but having the medal worth premium time seems like asking for a little much. In order to get this 4th medal, I'd assume it'd be significantly higher than gold (400 unique defeats). It would take a freemium FOREVER to get that many games in with the option of only being able to play 4 at a time. And giving free time to players who are already premium wouldn't really make sense either. The premiums who put in enough time to get that many victories to earn the medal, I would think don't have a problem with the cost of premium if they're having fun and are getting that much use out the site. And besides, without the cost of premium, conquer club wouldn't exist.

I didn't even think of it that way... :D
Well then what about if each medal gave just a few days a premium? I am only suggesting it because I know that there are so many freemiums out there that would buy premium if they just knew how much fun it would be, and how worth it it really is.

They sometimes have special events where freemiums are allowed to play speed games. For instance, last halloween they allowed all the freemiums access to halloween hallows speed games for a few days, and that was a lot of fun. Maybe a better suggestion you could make would be to have those kind of events more often.

No need...for lack to want to give free premium it would have to be a figure large enough not everyone can achieve easily. However the only was I see someone reaching this level is to be a premium member.

But then you could lose the medal. Or do you keep it forever?
