Hi,

Yeah, the credit is the points - in this case 481 points.

However, these WU (and all the other SMP core_A3 and core_A5 ones) also qualify for Quick Return Bonus Points.
Basically, there is a sliding scale that rewards quick return with more points. This is done to encourage people to just run one client quickly, rather than multiple ones more slowly.

However, to qualify for these bonus points (that are often worth 10 times the base points), you'll need a passkey - see here:

You can calculate how many points you expect to receive here:

Hope that helps
Rob

Thanks. So, when do they score the bonus points? I only have the base points (481) so far, but should’ve gotten 968 more points.

Hi,

Bonus points normally appear straight away. However, you'll need to complete 10 units with at least an 80% success rate before you will start receiving them. (those first 10 units won't ever receive a bonus)

Anyway, congratulations on your first unit. The bonus points will soon start rolling in!
