how do i redeem lindens

i have made money on sl, how do i redeem my lindens back to my credit card?

You don't.  To take your earnings back to RL, you follow a two-steop process.

1. Sell your L$ to other SL residents through the Lindex.  The proceeds from that sale are deposited in your USD balance.

2. Issue a credit transfer request to transfer dollars from your USD account to your PayPal account.  Note on that page that you may choose to withdraw your US dollar balance via PayPal or bank wire, but not to your credit card.  

Note: Use a bank wire only under the following circumstances:

• PayPal will not permit payments to your country.
• You are expecting payment of $10,000 or more.

Finally, note that so long as your earnings are in L$ and remain in SL, they are not taxable as income since L$ are not real money.  Once you withdraw earnings as $, however, they are reportable income and you may owe taxes.  Unless you have a large amount of money in L$, it may be wise to simply keep them in your account in world.  It's worth thinking about anyway.  :smileywink:

Note that you must use a verified PayPal account.  You can't transfer your $USD balance out to a credit card...credit cards don't work in two directions.
