This is a strange way to look at it, assuming the promotion hasn't changed from previous months. You don't get anything else with the token, so you just got ten spins; the fact that one of them resulted in a re-spin is irrelevant. The only reason for the tokens to exist is the free daily spin.
Regardless, looks like you did pretty well, despite not getting any of the really high value prizes. 320 credits (assuming you have use for the permanent tattoo, otherwise 286) plus 200 lessons (another 33 credits worth), for the cost of ~230 credits.

In raw credit value, Dominius got about a 40% bonus over purchasing credits directly (assuming he has Iron Elite, which I didn't factor in when calculating the numbers for my previous post; over 50% if he doesn't), which really isn't bad. There are a few things that can impact that quite a lot, though. If you already have all permanent tattoos, then the phial is only worth 66 credits, not the full 100. If you don't need (or even want) lessons for anything then they're worth nothing.
The market for most minipets and battle figurines is extremely small, in my experience, so unless they're really cool and have near universal appeal you have to buy early in the month and hope you can sell to the few people who want them. That makes it pretty hard to calculate how well you did out of a given set of spins, though a lot of the time I just count them as zero credits because that's likely to be the reality. A more reasonable (15-20) tradein value on those would help mitigate that, but I just don't see that happening at this point considering how many of these promotions have already been run.
I think a lot of the time (and I'm not saying that's necessarily the case with you), people consider the promotion to be bad just because they didn't receive the highest value possibilities, even though they're still doing extremely well out of it.

134 credits worth of stuff and a handful of lessons.
Tbh I'm glad it didn't blow my skirt up cause then I would be buying a ton. Not bad, not amazing.
You deftly spin a large, prismatic Wheel of Fortune. It begins whirling rapidly, emanating a loud, clacking noise.
A large, prismatic Wheel of Fortune slows down to a halt, rewarding you with artefact upgrade credits.
30 (upgrade) credits from a free spin, I'm a happy camper.
worst part is I still won't win that raffle...
2 pets
a perma-tat
hunter's belt
vial
some race tickets
some upgrade creds
One of the new smoke globe things
A lot of bound credits (300+)
Not bad. Just hunters belt and vial was worth somewhere in the 326cr range iirc.

I fell for the trap before this promotion buying one from the shop...which gave me 1/4 box. So I bought another 4, got 2 1/4 boxes and 2 groups of like 7 goldenseal roots. At this point I had spend 125 credits and gotten 14 goldenseal and 3/4 of a box. Bought another box and got a globe top piece. Bought another box and got my last 1/4 of a box.
Now at that point it gave me my extra box and I thought well I'll be done with this once and for all now!
Opened the box...got 1/4 box.
So out of 9 boxes (worth 225 credits) I've gotten a globe top piece, 14 goldenseal, and 7 ginseng. I understand its a gamble, but shouldn't the consolation prize be worth at least a couple credits given the cost of buying them in the first place?
Hmm, Nicola and I will talk about these today. They're only in the free pool for those concerned about that, but I agree we could make these better.
