Sign-up bonus

When you register for a premium account, you get a sign-up bonus of L$1,000, deposited directly into your Second Life account once your premium membership has been active for 45 consecutive days.

 

Weekly Linden dollar rewards (stipend)

As a premium member, you receive a weekly stipend of $L300, whether you log in or not. Stipends are paid every week by an automated process that runs on Tuesdays (PT).

Payments are based on information gathered from the database as of the preceding Monday. For example:

• If you create a premium account on Monday, April 14, you will receive your first stipend on Tuesday, April 15.
• If you create a premium account on Tuesday, April 15, you will receive your first stipend on Tuesday, April 22.

Note:Stipend payments may appear late in the day on Tuesdays or possibly not until Wednesday.

 

ETA: You created your account today, so... yeah, you'll see that L$1000 in 45 days (as long as you didn't do it monthly and don't cancel downgrade to basic before then).

same thing happened to me!

lol!! I knew there was a catch, 45 days? It should be 48 hours

[Rolig Loon]

That's there to discourage people from signing up, grabbing the L$1,000, and leaving town immediately. It's only $4 U.S., but that adds up to a lot of cash for all the new Premium accounts. Linden Lab is willing to make the gamble that someone who has stuck around for 45 days is going to stay (and spend money ), but they aren't going to risk it on scam artists who are just here to get an easy $4.

When you want L$ buy them. Premium membership is not supposed to be the mainsource for L$. The 1000 are a Thank-you and nothing else.
