Waiting for Bonus Credit?

[linsanna]

I seen on the bonus page form there is a box you check I agree to wait 65 days for credit.
Does it really take that long?

The rule of thumb is that the bonus is (generally) credit towards the end of the month following the month you made your request.

So if you requested your bonus on May 30th for May's bonus, you could expect to see it in your account on or about June 30 (+/- a couple of days)  -- time=31 days.

If, however, you make your request on May 1 for April's bonus, you can also expect that to be credit to your account on or about June 30th (+/- a couple of days -- time is equal to 60 days. 

Since FC doesn't always credit at the end of the month, they're allowing themselves a couple of extra days.

If you make a point of requesting the bonus for a given month before the end of that same month, you would normally only wait about 30-35 days.  But if you slip into the next month  --- then it be another month ~60-65 days.

It has never taken that long for me, so it probably won't for you either.
