I didn't see this in the PBS email.  However, I had heard rumors that the current credits will not be usable under the new system.  I plan to stick around a la carte for awhile since I have PBS money.  Can someone clarify for me?  Thanks!

There is absolutely nothing happening with the credits.

However, any that are spent on 2/15 or after by a la carte members will incur the $0.49 swap fee per order.

You can read about the changes in the FAQs. Credits are addressed in one of the topics towards the bottom of the list.

Your credits will be good. You will simply need to pay the fee out of your PBS money.

Thanks!  That is how I understood it (credit would carry over, but with a fee for 49 cent item fee for a la carte).  I wanted to be sure.

Mel, you have gold key, you don't have to worry about fees!!
