Point balance
|
Displays the total number of available Service Points. This number corresponds to the sum of the different Advanced Services contracts. If there is more than one active contract with different expiration dates, the balance will display the total available points at the current time. When a new Service Request is submitted, the points are instantly reserved and your points balance is adjusted. The reserved points will be deducted from the active contract at the time the Service Request is completed. If the service request is canceled, the points are instantly released. |
