Good question. Maybe you can hotline it.

Specifically, if you have two accounts registered to the same credit card, will they apply lindex funds to the entire amount charged to that credit card, or only for the account that has the lindex balance. (Lindex balance seems to belong to your avatar account.)

It is easy to move $L between alts, so if they won't apply one account's lindex balance to the entire charge card, you could sell $L separately under each account and keep two Lindex accounts.

what about buying a gift code for your alt, paid for with your account balance?

not sure if that allowed but perhaps and options or question you can ask?

I'd imagine not, just becasue that's the pattern >.<

I'd hotline this question, both to get a definitive answer and to give them the idea.

It is nice to be able to have things seperate, too. The choice can be made to have only one account on the credit card handle all the teir fees, linden trading, and land buys and sells from land selling, and have my seperate project that only uses texture uploads and revenue from scripted objects having its own seperate records on another account. With each account being tracked seperately, I have a very good seperation of what part of my money is being used and made for each project.

That's exactly what I meant...

You would register the second account with the same credit card, would they subtract lindex balances from all charges to that credit card, or only changes specifically for the original account.

The can't do negative charges to the credit card, all they can do is subtract lindex balances from charges, reducing the charges, potentially to zero. Question is, can they do that for your second account using the lindex balance in the first account.

LL don't normalize database tables; thus any feature requiring it is, and always will be, unavailable to us.
