I posted my first ten books, but I didnt get my credits. How long does this usually take?

Your bookshelf only shows 8 books. If the last two didn't make it for some reason, you won't get your credits until they are put in there.

Sabrina are you the first member registering from your address and from your particular computer? The system doesn't give the free credits if you live at the same address as an existing member and I don't think it gives them if you register from the same IP address as an existing member either although I'm not 100% sure on that one...

Any other accounts in your house? 2 credits are only for thr first sign up. Have you checked your credit registry? It shows all credits in and out of your account. Have you tried logging out and then logging back in?

I would write to the "powers that be" (use the contact us button at the bottom of the screen) and explain the entire situation to them. If you never used your original free credits, you should still be entitled to them.

And if your old account still exists they'll probably want to merge them.

On the bright side, if you've mailed 2 already you'll have 2 credits soon!

Yes, contact TPTB! Use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page. Send feedback, and use the category "Problem". They'll work with you to fix it. They're really nice folks!
