## **What This Article Covers**

If you clicked your Summit Golden Circle bonus link and saw a **successful** confirmation message but didn't notice any visible change in your account afterward, you're in the right place. This article explains what to expect, where to check your credit balance, and what to do if something looks off.

## **What Happens When You Apply a Bonus Link**

When you click a Summit Golden Circle bonus link, the system processes your credit in the background. Here is what you should know:

- A **success message** means the link was accepted and the credit request was submitted to your account.
- The credit may take a **few minutes** to fully reflect across your account.
- You will **not** always see an immediate on-screen counter update or pop-up confirmation beyond the initial success message — this is expected behaviour, not an error.

## **How to Verify Your Hyperdrive Credits Were Applied**

Follow these steps to confirm your Summit bonus Hyperdrive Credits are showing correctly:

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account if you are not already signed in.
2. Check your current credit total within your account and compare it to what you had before applying the bonus link. Your new credits should be reflected once processed.
3. If the page still shows your previous balance, perform a **hard refresh** of your browser (press **Ctrl + Shift + R** on Windows or **Cmd + Shift + R** on Mac) to clear any cached data.
4. If your balance still has not updated, log out of your account completely and log back in to prompt the platform to sync your latest account data.

## **When to Be Concerned**

In most cases, the **success message** is reliable and your credits will appear within a few minutes. However, you should reach out for manual verification if:

- A noticeable amount of time has passed and your credit balance has not changed.
- You receive an error message when attempting to use or view your credits.
- You are unsure whether the bonus link was applied to the correct account.

When contacting support, please have the following ready: your **account email address**, the **bonus link** you used (or the Summit Golden Circle campaign it came from), and a **screenshot of your current credit balance** so our team can verify and manually confirm the application on your account.
