Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I managed to get my Christmas Choir card and I have been doing the seasonal mission on and off during the week. I still think I earn a decent amount but the amount has definitely dropped because the seasonal mission doesn't give any starbits.
Giveaway
I wasn't sure what to give away but I choose a discontinued card this week.
The giveaway item is R105 Tracy and it has 100 fans, 75 skill, 4 luck and 2 income modifier. All musicians help quite a bit and it will definitely help the people starting unlock more missions.

Current Status
Overall I think I earned around 200k starbits and it could be a little less than that. In a way it was ironic that I got the Christmas Choir card on the day after I put up my post. I think I will continue to open as many packs as I can during this event because I think the Christmas Choir card is quite rare and it will be worth quite a bit.
There were no epic cards but I did get the seasonal card. The rest of the cards weren't very notable but I did get a rare vehicle as well.
I managed to at least get a copy of each instrument and I am averaging around 1 instrument a day so far.
Current Stats
Using the discord bot, I got my stats.
Current Goals
My rank is down one from last week. From last week, I got 3 more unique cards but I didn't time my missions as well as before.
There is still quite a bit of work to do but I might be in danger of dropping down a bit further. After getting the seasonal card, I didn't open the packs as soon as I had enough for 100k.

Tips (source)
I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- If you have more fans than skill and you want reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
- Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
- When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
- Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
