I registered as a premium member and I thought I was supposed to get $L1200 + $L300 stipend?

Why don't I see it in my balance?

Stipends are only paid on Tuesdays. The bonus is paid after 45 days, although that's 1000L, not 1200L. There's another 250L for using a credit card, I think, but that would be 1250L.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I think there's a delay. I don't remember how long it took for me to get my cash after I upgraded.

*taps microphone* Is this thing on? 45 days. Check the Knowledge Base, or read item #3 here: http://www.secondlife.com/whatis/plans.php

And it's only 1000L...the 250L is for non-Premium members who choose to supply payment information.

also when they say signup they mean signup from account creation rather than premium signup.

and it's a 45 day delay.

Really?

So does that mean i don't get the thousand bonus?

I started as an alt and have only been premium for a month.

I don't think the 250L applies anymore. When I first signed up as basic in February, I received 250L right away because I put credit card info in. Then I signed up for premium about 3 months (might be 4 now, not sure) and got the 1000L right away. I know that's changed to a 45-day wait period now. However, I created an alt a few weeks ago, and used credit card info for her and she didn't get the 250L. I'm planning on making her premium at some point, so does this mean I won't get the 1000L bonus for her after 45 days since I didn't make her premium right away?

From experience, I can tell you that if you use the same credit card you will not receive the bonus. Use a different one if you have one.

Ahhhh...I think I might have used paypal for my alt...can't remember. I'll have to check that. So, I did use my same credit card, but change it when I sign up as premium, then I should get it? It's all sooo confusing! lol
