How does the Forum Bonus work

[tbruff13]

I made good posts this month and I submitted 18 of them three at a time, but there is not message that says posts submitted  how do I know if they went through?

you have to make all 30 posts before submitting.  after that if you click to go where you submitted, look at the bottom of that page, it will tell you how many days before you get credit for posting.

I'm surprised you were able to make a submission with less than 30 posts recorded for July. 

But natashaspy is right.  You need to have at least 30 posts BEFORE you bother making a submission.  I usually wait until the last couple of days before the end of the month -- and then I have 40-50 posts available to choose the 3 posts that I  like best to make the submission.

Go to the "been paid to post" link at the top of any Forum page.  (Read through the description for details of the bonus.)  In the middle of that page is a green link that will take you to the page where you make your request. 

On the right side of that page is a count of how many posts you've made so far this month.  Right below that is a link to all the posts you've made so you can review them and select the 3 you want to submit for the current month.

Posts made to the Contest and Promotions section of the Forum do not count for your minimum 30.

At the bottom of the page is a history of the requests you've made for the posting bonus and how long you can expect before you receive the bonus.

In your case, if you've submitted several requests so far this month, 3 at a time, I'm not sure what will show up there.  If you have several entries for July, you might want to contact Support and ask them to remove the July submissions you've made because you misunderstood the procedures.  Then make your ultimate July request around the 30th.
