There is something wrong at the IACFS/ME Vivint site. It showed $20 donated so far. I just donated $50 and it still shows $20 total?

Those who donated, did you receive an e-mail confirmation of your donations?

Q. I haven't received a confirmation email for my donation. I donated last night shortly after the matching period started. Do you think I will still get that email?

You should have already received your e-mail. Please check your junk folder and make sure the e-mail wasn't sent there. If you like, you can e-mail me at astrickland@vivint.com and I will have the e-mail resent to you. Thank you for your donation and good luck to your charity.

There's another matching period coming up, it will be from August 2 at 2:00am ET to August 4 at 2:00am ET.

The WPI has already reached the 2'500$, so donations there will not be matched anymore, but Vivint will still match donations to the IACFS/ME, the National ME/FM Action Network and the Nightingale Foundation.

I don't know if i will be able to donate more, well, maybe 10 or 15$. But if somebody wants to make a donation, this would be a good oportunity, because Vivint will double it, up to 50$.

For a doubling of donations, I would have donated again, but I guess you max out at $50. FYI

Really? I'm not sure because it's a new matching period. I haven't donated yet, but when i log in it says "Amount left we will match from you: $50". That doesn't mean it would work, but i'm not really sure about the rules in this point.

I just donated 10$ to the IACFS/ME now and it worked. They added 20$ and now it says 40$ left they would match from me. So even if you donated 50$ during the last round you can donate another 50 now, if you have them and want to do it.

Well done and thanks, Eric_s - boldly going where no man has gone before. ;)

No, I don't think so, just checked it again, and it says "0$ amount we'll match from you". FYI

Hmm... During the first matching period i donated 50$ to the N M/F AN under my name and somebody else 50$ to the IACFS/ME under a different name and with a different card, but with the same login, and now i could donate 10$ to the IACFS/ME. So clearly it does not only allow 50$ during the entire contest to one charity from the same login. I don't know why it's different for you, strange...

There is another matching period coming up next week. The National ME/FM Action Network still hasn't reached the $2500 limit. Can people support them in the next matching period?
