 * Quote***: "How come my upgrades don't stay when I do this credit swap? My pro upgrades stay but main upgrades don't. Am I doing this right? Keep local on credit device. And cloud data on racing device. But when I refil the credits, it reverts the main upgrades to what was before the purchase. The pro upgrades remain. Can someone clarify this possibly?"

This is as normal, and part of the deal. You are doing the saving correctly.

Credits and credit-based purchases and upgrades purchased on your Racing Device are lost/reset when you restore from your Save Device. This includes:
 * credit balance
 * credit-purchased upgrades
 * credit-purchased CARS

Tokens, Pro Kits, Pro Upgrades purchased on your Racing Device are reflected immediately on both devices regardless of local or cloud restore on either device.
 * I belive, CARS purchased with TOKENS will be owned on both devices (thought I have not tried this, but there is no reason why they should not, because all token-based transactions are reflected on both devices)
 * R&D and EDD progress is reflected on both devices
 * Credit upgrades to R&D and EDD cars made on Racing Device are NOT reflected on Save Device
 * Token upgrades to R&D and EDD cars made on Racing Device ARE reflected on Save Device

Think of your use, earning, and spending of CREDITS on your Racing Device as leasing and not owning: the lease runs out when you restore from Save Device.

Think of your use, earning, and spending of TOKENS, Pro Kit Boxes, and Pro Kit Upgrades as always and immediately permanent and final no matter which device you are on.
