Monthly awards

I am new to this game so I am still discovering the way it works. When and how can I expect the monthly awards for the last month since we are already in December?

It usually takes a few days. Dont worry. It is said it had been a week at least once.

So I may have been playing this for a while now but monthly awards are still a new thing to me.

I am running a free account and have reached 28th (which based on awards handed out would mean in line for it).

I think I remember seeing somewhere that free accounts don't get the award?

A little more info on the awards process for free accounts would be helpful and roughly when in the month the awards are handed out?

Thanks

The awards are based on scores for the last day of the month, and are given more or less by the second day of the month. Free accounts can get awards.

Thanks Madoff. Reread the documentation just to make sure and there is no word on free accounts so glad I asked.

Premium accounts get a score boost, that's the only difference between free & premium as far as I know.

Free accounts do get awards.
There are a lot of variables through which premium members can get higher scores than a free member could.
For example: A free member can not go beyond level 2. Higher levels amount to higher scores.
