Feb 11 2009: I signed up on Jan 31st, 2009 and received the details on how to redeem the gift certificate on Feb 6th as a message in my MTV/Think messages online here. I redeemed the certificate today and now have $25 in my KIVA account to lend.

Mine took 5 days. You get a message in your inbox that tells you how to redeem it.

I signed up for this promotion before the deadline, and it said I would receive something in the next 1-3 business days. It's been longer than that and I don't recognize that I've received anything. Can anyone tell me how to recognize what I should be looking for, or what I can do to track this down? Thanks!

This did give my roommate a $25 kiva gift cert. it is not fake, it does work. they signed up about a week and a half ago and they got the gift cert about 4 or 5 days later. it was a little longer than the instructions said but they got it none the less and they have already loaned it out. i came to sign up today but although it still shows the promo offer it says it has now expired. i signed up anyway in hopes that i too will get mine and i can help people who really need it.

and to those of you who can't find your inbox...once you log in at the very top of the page it will say in small font your login name|profile|mail|...
