Don't worry guys I believe David must give you points manually (although I'm not sure). You won't miss out on points for sure!

Hey Guys, points will be added to our accounts on Saturday, before the game is over.

Email from David with subject: "[BTG 100K]: Subscription to BTG Newsletter" clarifies it.

Hey guys,

The videos and subscriptions to the newsletters are not coded in the system in the way a normal article is. For instance, if you like today's featured article and then share it, your points get added to your account automatically. However, it's a different story for videos and newsletter subscriptions because they require the team (most probably good ol' David) to manually award points to people who sign up/send videos. Don't worry, this will be done by the time of the draw. It's just that it's easier to deal with everyone's points at the same time rather than one by one.

Hi All,

Thanks for subscribing to the email newsletters. As Dana mentioned, I had to manually enter in points for everyone who subscribed. I also sent an email to everyone who subscribed letting them know how many points they received. Most received 200 points for subscribing to both newsletters. Some only received 100 points. Please check your points and let me know if you didn't receive the points that you should have.

Hi Russty,

Did you use the same email address to subscribe that you used for your beat the gmat account? i just checked our system. you're right - you don't have the points for the newsletter. But my code definitely gave points to all 100K players who subscribed so long as they used the same email addresses.

Hi David,
Yes, I subscribed to both the newsletters with the same email as the one I use for my BTG account. Pls help, I'm short by 200 points.
Thanks

I forgot to mention that I subscribed on the 29th Oct and today I received Day 3 of both the Math and Verbal questions.
