Also, you can check credits that you have under your account (before checkout or even before beginning your book)!
My book credit was there immediately, my Mom's never did show up (even though her initial registration/sign-up was identical to mine and acted like it would)... we both got the same confirmation page.
When my "live chat cs rep" checked, Mom's account did not show a credit according to the CS rep, and she immediately posted a link for Mom to click and discontinued the call. That, coupled with my looooong wait for the live chat, leads me to believe my Mothers problem was more than likely not an isolated case!
I cannot even imagine how many people took advantage of this offer! It was/is an amazing deal!

Even with having to spend an extra hour helping Mom... it was well worth it!

Oprah is so popular that this freebie hit a much broader audience than most do!
I can't wait to see my book! I did a "through the school years" type book, as DS graduates this year. I scanned in artwork, ribbons, newspaper articles, and pictures and kind of chronicled his school "career"!
I have a zillion scrapbook items and pictures... but no time to do the books!

If this digital book turns out to be awesome when it arrives, I may make a few more (I was thinking birth - preschool, k-4, 5-8, and 9-12 in much more detail than this free book will be)! I figure the books could be easily displayed on a table for those attending DS grad party to look through (my sister did this for my nephew, but with actual embellished scrapbook pages, not digital, but they were a big hit)!
Anyway... good luck to all still working on your books! Again, night-time rocked for me

so if you are having trouble, or it's really slow, try it then! And if your credits never seem to show up, live chat will help!
Thank's again to the OP of this freebie!
