November 2018 Payback Calculations

alex_w

Hi all,

Ho ho ... no, not yet. But it is time for the November Payback thread to make it's appearance. Slightly early, as I'll be away on holiday for a 4 day weekend (which means we'll be getting started with processing on Tuesday 4th December). We'll then push through the processing as quickly as we can to meet our target dates for Payback payouts. Have a great weekend all, and see (in words) you next week.

So, moving on to the nitty gritty of calculating community payback. Current status is listed below, and I'll provide updates as we tick items off.

November 2018 Payback Calculation Task List:

- Community data used for Basic Community Payback download. [Complete - 4th Dec]

- Labs data used for Enhanced Labs Payback download. [Complete - 4th Dec]

- Help & Support data used for Enhanced Help Payback download. [Complete - 4th Dec]

- Threads data used for Enhanced Content Payback download. [Complete - 4th Dec]

- Community files sent off for calculation. [Complete - 4th Dec]

- Community Payback Calculation. [Complete - 5th Dec]

- Other Payback points sources calculated and signed off. [Complete - 5th Dec]

- Points Statement drafted. [In progress]

- Final points results sent for upload to giffgaff.com. [Complete - 5th Dec]

- Final points results processed on giffgaff.com. [Complete - 6th Dec]

- Points Statement sent. [Pending]

- [Bonus Round] Payback payouts timings.

November Points Statement Send Date Estimate: Friday, 7th December

Possible [Spanners]: (crossed out have been resolved)

Key:

[Pending] = not yet started

[In progress] = somewhere between not started and finished

[Complete] = all done

[Automated] = happens automatically

[Spanners] = dangerous things that make for frowny faces when they appear unexpectedly
