I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I have been searching the sight trying to find the answer to this question.
When you donate to A4F or become Premium what are the points for? For example

"A4F Premium Member (6 Months)
$29.99 gives you 6 months of the following:*


•Greater access in the Trade Forums**
•Premium Member Badge
•More inbox space (2500 messages)
•Search Control lowered to 10 seconds
>Search quicker and more frequently!
•Premium Member orange username everywhere in the forum
•Ability to add a custom song to your profile
•2000 Points"

This is the upgrade package stats for the premium 6 months and at the bottom it says 2000 points. I just don't know what the points are. Thanks for the help.

Great job with the info. How did you find it? Please let me know.

TR RULES:

I've removed all the previous TR Rules, because now with the new Trade Manager almost all of the rules are built-in to the system, so there is no way to do an "illegal" trade. However, there are a couple exceptions that still should be mentioned:

• $15 is the magic number. If you want to leave your fellow trader a comment in order to get a TR (Trade Rating) point, the trade value has to be at or above $15. So if you are doing non-cc sites and paying $5 for example, you need to manually trade with that person for 3 non-cc greens, which would equal $15 and therefore allow a comment to be approved for the trade. This goes for currency exchanges, loans, etc. Thanks , this helps to make the trade manager easier to use for beginners.
  
  
• Mark it Complete or Comment Posted. When a trade is complete and therefore you want to leave a comment and rating for your partner and have them do the same for you, you MUST update your status within that trade to Completed or Comment Posted. If you do not, the system does not think the trade is ready for comments so it does not allow comments to be added.
  
  
• No TR without TM. This is a given... but just so we're clear, you cannot earn a TR point for a trade unless that trade was setup and completed through our Trade Manager.

Quick HOW-TO Operate Trade Manager and Trading on A4F:

• To get started trading, head to our Beginner's Trading Post and find some trades. Once you do, click that user's Trade Offers number from their user info on the side of their post and in their profile. Find a Trade Offer from their Offers page that interests you and click More Info. From the proceeding page, read the details and if they work for you, click Initiate Trade after filling out the form. Then once the offerer approves your initiation, you'll be trading.
  
• So you'll get a PM informing you that your trade initiation has been approved and the trade has now officially started. That PM will also contain a link to that specific trade, so click that to go there or go to your My Trades page and click your status to get to that trade's page. That page is where pretty much everything else related to that specific trade will happen. You will see your trade partner's link listed, so click that which will bring you to the freebie site. Then sign up and do an offer to get credit. For a more in-debth discussion on this part (completing offers) please see this thread for a guide and link to other guides. Then go back to your trade page and change your status accordingly, most likely one of the Offer(s) Complete statuses.
  
  
• Once you do get credit for the offer (be sure to check the freebie site from time to time if you are waiting for credit), then mark your status to Offer(s) Complete - Green and let your partner know. They should then send you paypal and mark it Completed. Once you verify you received the paypal, Mark your side Completed and then leave a comment and rating for your partner and they will do the same for you.
  
  
• Now that the trade is done, mark it Comment Posted and a TM Moderator will be there to approve your comment shortly. Once approved, you'll get a PM from the person who approved it, stating that it was approved. If its rejected, you'll also be notified. Once both parties have left feedback, you can go ahead and move it to your Archived Trades so you can focus on the rest of your still on-going trades.

Trading Permissions and TR

Trade Rating < 4 TR: Members under 4 TR can ONLY access the BTP and can ONLY reply in threads.

1. Beginner's Trading Post

Trade Rating > 4 TR Members and Premium Members < 4 TR: Members at 4 TR or above and Premium Members under 4 TR can ONLY access the 3 normal trading forums and can BOTH reply and create new threads. You can now add your own trade topics by clicking the New Topic button on the top right side of the page from within any of those 3 forums. If you have at least 4 TR and you want access to the BTP to create your own topics there and therefore trade with n00bs under 4TR, you could click the A4F Memberships link in the Site Menu dropdown in the board header (look up and to the right)...

1. Referral for Referral
2. Referral for Cash
3. Referral for Other

Trade Rating > 4 TR Premiums: Premium Members at 4TR or above can access BOTH the BTP and the 3 normal trading forums and of course can BOTH reply and post new topics.

And those trading forum TR rules apply EXACTLY THE SAME in Trade Manager. So if you want to trade with a n00b to get TR via the TM, you have to be 4+TR Premium.

There is 1 exception to those above TR rules, if you were 50+TR BEFORE Premium Membership was announced, you were entitled to 1 free year of Beginner's Trading Post access. That doesn't mean they got to change their group to Premium, it just means they had access to trading with under 4TR in the forums and in TM.

I want to get free ref for ref trades. Is it possible on this forum??? If possible then from where I can get these offers???

To gain access to the main Referral4Referral Forum you need to have 4TR....It's not visible to you now. That is to insure that a newbie gets proper training doing ref4cash and establishes some trading history . Ref4ref involves a lot of trust and responsibility and it's very easy to get scammed if you are a newbie as you will need to go first ( the trader with lower TR has to green his partner's site first) . So it's for your own sake, actually.

If you think you can handle it , know it all, been there done that, you can by premium membership, that will give you access to the main Ref4Ref forum without having to get 4TR , where you will be able to open your own trading tread and seek referrals.

Meanwhile, there is Ref4Ref sub forum within Beginners Trading Post which is ''dead'' compared to the Main one , as again, to get ref4ref trades you need to have established some history on the forum, so that your partner had enough trust in you to accept the trade.

I'm Sorry but I'm never sure where to post this type of question. I just finished a trade with Jgillespie id #164218 on may 21st. They changed their status to complete but didn't leave a comment or rate the trade. I've left a comment and marked the trade comment posted and hit the comment please on the update trade button. I've sent her several pm's but she hasn't been logged on since June 11th. Her tr went up 1 and my comment shows in her comments. She did leave a "good trade" message in the notes for trade partner window.

Trade Rating.
Please let me know how long does it takes for the credit rating to update, I have completed several trades and the rate has not been updated.

Thank you

How long is it before your trade manager is updated though? I have completed trades with two members through the tm yet I nor them have gotten credit for the trades. I have left positive comments for both of them and they left me positive comments as well. Both were for $20 and one was completed more than a week ago and the other four days ago.

I'm not sure what the new rule is as to when credit ratings are now updated but it used to be the next day and I think this kind of discourages newbies to completing different trades because they don't see their progress right away. I know this because they complain about it to me thinking I can do something about it. One was disappointing because he couldn't even go to the premium forum because he still had 3tr after a week. I'm not trying to sound rude or impatient but I'm curious as to what's going on.
