I just bought a Premium account today via pay pal, I was wondering how much a week do I earn from Linden? and What Day does it go into my account? Do I get some sort of warning that it's been placed into it?

Thanks

300 L and on Tuesdays. Go to the My account clicky at the top of the home page to check your balances ;)

As above, but to note there's no specific time it arrives on Tuesdays, sometimes it can be quite delayed if there are "technical issues" going on, and I have known it be several days late sometimes.

My advice is to not budget specifically on the fact of the stipend arriving on a specific day. Throw $10 at Lindex and buy yourself some 'buffer money' to spend on stuff, and it's especially helpful if you have a recurring payment such as land rental that is due regularly.

I went premium a short time go and made he mistake of making the annual payment option. I guess if I cancel my account now LL just keep all the money?

yup they will keep the 1 year subscription like any other virtual type deal like this the money is locked in and non refundable once you buy the subscription.

Don't bother cancelling a yearly sub. Just let the Linden$ from your stipend pile up then cash out at the end of the year to recover a good chunk of your money.

... Or you can give your stipend to me. That works as well!

I am not entirely sure this can be done, if you have only the Stipend on your account I am not sure if you can process this for credit. The writing on the process page and in the TOS is so badly written it is unclear.

This paragraph is from SL Process Credit Page.

Purchases of account credits and credits due to gift codes or other promotional account credits are nonrefundable, and may not be processed as a payment to you.

The Stipend in theory is a voluntary gift from LL so would it fall under this category.

For those of us that do cash out, the stipend has such insignificants that it would not apply in that case.

Perhaps someone here can clarify...

That part of the TOS is just saying that they wont refund your money. Gift codes are not L$ so dont worry about that. Stipends can be cashed out just like any other L$. If you let the stipend build up for a year youll get a sizable portion of your account costs back...assuming that the L$ market doesnt collapse before then.
