Cgive "My Account" Page Update

This weekend the earnings summary on your "My Account" page was updated. The summary now shows earnings based on the cgive shopping period instead of the calendar year. Here is a sample:

Earnings for the Current Pay Period
:

Your current purchases: $ 259.45
Your current earnings: $ 25.12
Total earnings for your charity or tuition: $42.27

Previous Pay Periods:
Unpaid earnings : $3.60

Your Total Unpaid Earnings: $ 28.72

The current shopping year runs from May 1 to April 30 each year with payments mailed out in August.

For example: If you make a purchase on April 30, 2010 the earnings will be included in the payments we distribute in August 2010. If you were to wait to make this purchase on May 1, 2010 your earnings would not be paid until August 2011. There is a 3 month period between the end of the shopping year and when payments are distributed to allow your purchases to clear and us to receive payments.

We thought it made more sense for the earnings summary to show the amount you should expect your cause to receive instead of having it split over 2 different years. Please take a look at the new page and let us know it you have any questions.

Thanks for using cgive!
