I just purchased the $12 "Limited Membership" and the transaction was processed (I have an email from PBS stating this).  When I go to my account page, there is nothing showing that I made any purchase at all.  Nothing in PBS money, no icon indicating where my $12 has gone. 

My question:  should  I see anything at this time?  Or will it suddenly show up on my account page on Feb. 15?

If you go to your main My Account page, you'll find a Receipts page on the yellow bar near the top of the page.  Your membership purchase should show there.  I imagine that after Feb 15, when the memberships go live, it will show somewhere else, too.

Also, when the memberships go live on 2/15, there will be an icon placed below your name on forum posts.  You already have some icons, so you will see it there, a silver key.

Thx, Scott.  I imagine there will also be a countdown of sorts, telling me how many of the "free 30" I've used so far.

I can't find anything on my new membership either. It's not under receipts. I had a membership purchased for me in exchange for credits. I then went and entered the code number and a screen quickly popped up that said thank you for your membership of something like that, but I can't find any proof of it actually in my profile.

Janet, the purchaser probably has the receipt on their page.  I wouldn't worry about it unless nothing pops up on the 15th.  You should have an email as proof.  I'd save it until confirmation on the 15th.

Janet, you should be able to find the information in your Transaction Archives or in Club Communications...   and as Sasssy posted, no worries as you have your PM from the member and/or the email from PBS (a copy of that in Club Comm.).
