How can I determine the date of my billing cycle?

[Ren Float]

I am a Premium account holder and am considering buying land. I have looked at the tier fee page and have seen that the fee is based on the maximum amount of land held in a billing cycle. Obviously, I don't want to buy the land just one second before the current billing cycle expires, so how can I find out when that is?

 

Specifically, I joined SL on Sept 1, 2014. I became a Premium member on Sept 9th. I am looking at purchasing 2048 sq. m. which, if I understand properly, will cost me $15 USD/mo. If my assumption is correct, if I buy it tomorrow, I will be charged $15 on or about Oct 9. I'd prefer to own the land for the entire cycle (and not just a few days), so I need to know exactly when that is.

Your calculation is probably correct.  The way to check is to open your dashboard at secondlife.com >>> Account and look at your Account History/Statements to see when your most recent bill was issued and paid.

If you are about to become a first-time landowner, you may want to take Lindal Kidd's free class on land ownership/management at Caledon Oxbridge University in world. It's offered every Friday evening at 5 SLT.  Look it up in Search.  It's a good way to be sure to get off on the right foot.  Until then, take a look also at Knowledge Base articles that you'll be able to find by clicking the Knowledge Base tab above and then searching with the key word "land".
