42935 views The P2L Credit System is a dedicated site-wide currency system to reward our members for performing various functions throughout our community. Members can use their earned credits to promote their websites, blogs or other services via the P2L Ad System for free or cash them in for prizes, swag or other P2L related services. Credits can also be exchanged, allowing members to reward each other for performing helpful actions within the community, such as responding to a problem on the forums or for publishing a well written tutorial. P2L staff may also award credits to helpful members of the community for contributing to the site or for offering site related suggestions that our development team end up implementing live. Your available account credits can be found at the top of the page in the memberbar and the credit area can be accessed by clicking on "P2L Credits": The main P2L Credit Overview area located at http://www.pixel2life.com/credits/ is the primary landing page for the credit system and displays a short list of recent transactions, new items added to the merchandise prize area, quick tips on using the credits system and the main credit function menu. The menu allows you to view a complete transaction list, view offers you can complete to earn additional credits, learn about how you can earn credits on the site, redeem credits for advertising or merchandise, and transfer credits to other members. The overview page also allows you to view the current credit lottery status. Credit lotteries give members a chance to bid any amount of credits they wish (as long as they are available in their account) in to a large credit pool and the randomly selected winner is awarded all the credits added to the pool. The more members participate, the larger the pool gets and the more credits you bid, the better your chances of winning! Lotteries are held weekly. View Transactions The View Transactions page allows members to quickly see all credit related transactions that have been performed to and from their account. All transactions will normally be displayed in the transaction list immediately with one small exception. Single credit earnings for functions such as commenting and voting on tutorials will be displayed as monthly totals posted at the end of each month. To view the details of an individual transaction, click on the detail icon located next to the transaction''s credit amount. Complete Offers for Credits Members are able to complete offers and transactions to earn extra credits. The offers section does not have any available offers at this time but will be functional by winter 2009/2010. Redeem Credits for Advertising Clicking this option will automatically transfer the user to the Advertising System area''s ad creation page. Member''s can create their ads right on the spot using their available credits directly. Each credit used is the equivalent of 1 unique click on their ad. (Example: 100 credits used on a campaign will yield 100 unique clicks on that ad) For more help on using the P2L Advertising System, please go to the Ad System Help chapter. Redeem Credits for Prizes If a member has collected enough credits for merchandise currently listed in the merchandise prize area, they may cash in their credits for any of those listed items and P2L Staff will ship out that prize free of charge to the winner. (Please note that P2L will cover shipping charges, however all applicable duty, taxes and brokerage fees that may be charged by the winner''s country of origin are the sole responsibility of the winner). The process is very simple... simply click the "Redeem" button on the item you wish to redeem for your credits and you will be forwarded to a shipping page requesting your real name and address. Fill out the form with the appropriate information (all personal information is 100% confidential and applies to out privacy statement) and press the "continue" button to process your order. Your prize will be mailed to you within 1 to 2 weeks and tracking information will be sent to you. Please note that all prizes originate from North America, so please take this in to consideration when redeeming your credits for electronic merchandise that may require power adapters to use in countries that do not use the standard North American 120v power outlet format. Please contact us if you''re not sure of have any questions about available merchandise. Send Credits to Another User The P2L community is all about sharing, having fun and helping other members build their artistic and/or programming skills and knowledge. Often, members are on the forums looking for help on a current project they are stumped on, or they are in the help areas looking to help out other members that are having problems. Whatever the reason, members can easily send and receive P2L credits through the send credit page, which is a great way to thank fellow members for helping out. Even staff will be actively dishing out extra credits to good contributors and valued members! The send page also includes a simple member search just in case you''re not sure on the exact spelling of the member you want to send to.
