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

Just got the mail from BTG team. They have mailed me the email confirmation for subscribing to the Verbal/Math newsletter.

I guess everyone would receive it soon.

I'm in the same boat - need points for subscribing to these 2, and also for my video (pretty sure I was in the top 50 too). It's too much for me to track - not sure how many more points I should get, but I think it's quite a few.

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.
