Uh oh, looks like I'm the first with a question. So, there is about 25 points available each month. Chances are, I'm not going to be able to get to all the SS in a month, which would make it so I could get maybe 20 points in a month. If I did that for 2 months in a row, I would have 40 points, right? Would I get the GC at 25 points, and still have 15 points left over? Basically, the way I see it is, I don't think that I will be able to get the GC every month, but if points are able to carry over within the time frame, then maybe I can get 2 within each quarter?

Thanks.

Hi Sara,

Yes if you use 25, whatever is leftover carries over. No worries!

I thought July ended the quarter? They erase to zero in August?

I'm trying to find this out as well as I have earned May/June a cert and then July so I'm waiting for June's still.
