Great news, everybody! The GA activation glitch has been fixed!
This means that you should be able to use your Gold Account Medals and receive your Gold Account benefits within 24 hours of activation.
If you tried to use a Gold Account Medal during the glitch period and contacted a User Admin about receiving compensation, and have not yet received your replacement medal, please sit tight. The UAs are going through the list as quickly as possible to send out replacements. Please do not contact multiple UAs about being placed on the list, as this slows us down considerably. If you do not receive your replacement within two days, however, please contact any User Admin to make sure that you were not inadvertently overlooked.
Thank you all for your patience during this stressful period, and enjoy your GA benefits! :)
