Been a gold member for about a week and I still havent gotten that zen you get each month.
Maybe I have to wait until the end of the month or what?

I think you receive it monthly, based on the start date of your sub. So if you went gold 9/12, you should get the stipend the 12th of each month from here on out.

What he said^
You have to wait til the 12th of October, by his estimation.

Think of it like a once a month paycheck, you don't get that at the beginning of the month before the work (subscription time) was done.

I know others answered it but i figured i'd add a metaphor.

Darmak and Jalad, at Payday loans?

LOL that is great.

So I am a lifetime subscriber and I have been getting my monthly stipend of 400CP (Now 500 Zen) since I first bought my subscription. It has always come somewhere between the 6th and 9th of every month.

...but not this month. I have been saving up for a new ship for a couple of months now, selling my dilithium when I can to squeeze out a few more Zen. I never got my 500 for this month. Is there some kind of counter, or subscription info page I can acess that will tell me when I should receive those Zen? I am sort of at a loss as to why I wouldn't get those points this month, when I have gotten them every month prior to this point!

Any info would be awesome!

If you believe there is a problem with your subscription you will have to file a support ticket at this link. No one can help you besides billing I'm afraid

Agreed, I have yet to see my stipend this month as well. By my logic, since I've been a lifer (aka gold subscriber) since the day the game came out, I would think I'd get my stipend on the 2nd of each month, unless I am wrong. Well, the 2nd came and went this month and I never saw my stipend. Now someone here says it's delivered around the 29th of each month. So come the 30th, if I still have no stipend, I will be complaining.

Was asking my fleetmates last night when they get theirs. They said every month on the date they subscribed, so that puts mine 5 days past due. was going to submit a ticket at the end of the month if I don't see it yet, but it looks like a more widespread problem than just me.

First stipend was 2 days after subscription, NOTHING on this second month of paying to play.
