OK, seems to be a glitch in the process.
I had an account it, it was a limited gift, it got deleted. So I needed to setup a new account.
The problem arrises in that I ASS_UMED that in that because the Pre-Pay form contained the same information for setting up a new account they set it up for you. You STILL have to create a new account online otherwise there is nothing to apply the credit to.
They ASS-UME that you already have an account and that your just pre-paying for it.
It would probably save a lot of grief if on the Pre-Pay page or somewhere else that they state if your account has been deleted or you are starting a new account that you must Creat an Account online first, then send your pre-pay form.
I still am a litttle upset that 2 days ago I sent an email to billing asking for status and have not gotten a response to date, which could have cleared this up MUCH earlier than 3 days after they receive payment, and this post wouldn't exist.
It's a mix up that could, in the future, be avoided by a line or two of text added to the Pre-Payment form.
With a Credit card it's more instant.
And NO I am NOT getting a credit card.
