This couldn't have happened at a better time for me, still no Feb credits - did I miss a post regarding a reason?

Must have, Henry.

Here's Richard's answer to your first question: http://www.kivafriends.org/index.php/topic,3042.msg53053.html#msg53053

The overwhelming majority of repayments are taking place on 15th to 17th. Apart from my already delinquent loans, only few loans are due to make a payment before February 15. They are with these Field Partners:

AN:K and FSMA, for obvious reasons,
Zene za Zene (they hadn't posted loans during December, I believe, so that there was no netting on January 15),
BRAC Tanzania,
AMK (single loans),
HUMO (1 loan out of many),
ASKI,
and IMON (1 loan out of many).

Best wishes,
Wolfgang.

Thank you Wolfgang!  I had missed that - guess I'll know in another week!

I put mine in on the 3rd, still nothing.  I'm about ready to officially give up hope.  Anyone else who put their's in on the 3rd get something yesterday or today?  Is there still a chance?

I submitted mine on the 1st and nothing here.

Too bad!  I also joined on Feb. 1, but did eventually get a gift certificate.  Signed up at 2:45PM EST.  Maybe you missed it by just a few hours......

I just got this email from the MTV site:

Dear Think Member,
Thank you so much for your interest in the Kiva.org Gift Certificate Giveaway and in supporting this program. At Think, we strive to create awareness and drive support for organizations like Kiva. To date, $25,000 total in Kiva Gift Certificates have been given away to Think users so they can take part in empowering developing world entrepreneurs to lift themselves out of poverty. Unfortunately, at this point in time we’ve exhausted our supply of Kiva gift codes, due to overwhelming interest in the promotion.

As you know, Kiva greatly depends on the support of people like you. We sincerely look forward to your continued participation in Kiva lending and your commitment to making a positive impact on our global community.

Sincerely,
Think MTV

even though I had signed up before the promotion ended. It looks like no one else will be getting gift certificates

I signed up on Feb 1.  I will check periodically and update when I get the message in my MTV Think mailbox.

After signing up on Feb 1, I received my free free MTV/Think KIVA gift certificate on Friday, Feb 6th, and redeemed it on Feb 11.

I also sent a note to the KIVA team on MTV/Think site to update their blog post from June saying the promotion is closed.  It's still working.
