What were you expecting then? Fireworks?
This is what you get:
Access to the "Members Lounge" area of the forum
Ability to participate in the Microstockgroup Premium Members iStock Lightboxes
Access to Premium Members "live" chat
satisfaction of supporting microstockgroup and at the same time financing a Kiva loan
... possibly more benefits to come (suggestions welcomed)
If you have access to the members lounge you should be set.
Maybe Leaf needs to give you manual access, it may not be automated upon payment
