Do you do promotions like this often? I have given to Kiva before & would love to more but am strapped for funds:( Will you do this again?

I LENDED!!...FEELS GOOD! TO HELP SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE BETTER!!....GOOO! KIVA!

I got mine! took weeks but arrived. I am well chuffed! 57th loan done!

Has anyone received their gift certificate recently? I signed up on the 3rd, but haven't gotten anything yet.

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.

Thanks for spreading the love and wealth! I lended to Yokub Abdulloev in Tajikistan with the certificate!

hello, does anyone know when the promotion officially ended? I signed up on the 3rd of Feb, and have not received any email.

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.
