Greetings fellow DUers

It's almost Valentine's Day -- time to spread the love to all your friends on Democratic Underground! From now until the afternoon of February 15, we're running our annual Valentine Hearts promotion.



Purchase a DU Star Membership or renew your existing membership, and we'll give you Valentine hearts to share with your DU friends. For every dollar you spend, you'll get one Valentine heart to give away.

• After you complete your purchase, you will immediately receive a DU Mail message containing simple instructions on how to give away Valentine hearts to your friends.

• Monthly subscribers will also get some hearts to share -- if you are monthly subscriber, we'll send you a DU Mail message shortly with instructions on how to claim your hearts.



Ready to get started?

Click here to Spread the Love!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not receive a DU Mail message immediately after making your purchase, please be patient. In some instances there may be a short delay in processing your hearts, but you should receive them within 15-20 minutes at most. If you have to wait longer than that, please send a DU Mail message to EarlG.

Thank you for supporting Democratic Underground!

-- EarlG and Elad

Check the bottom of any post where the "Give a heart" link is and see if it tells you that you have some hearts remaining. If so, you can give hearts out. Please let me know if you did not get any...

either this week or last week, and people who have recurring monthly subscriptions, get hearts to give out. If that's not you, you'll have to renew your Star Membership this week to get hearts to give out. Please check out the OP for more information.

and I received an email receipt from Paypal, but on DU, it takes me back to the "Become a Star Member" page again. If I click on "Pay what you want" option again, it will charge my Paypal account twice. What should I do now?

Keep an eye out for a DU Mail message in your inbox -- it will let you know when your hearts are ready. Let me know if you don't receive anything.

Thanks!
