I tried to post this in the Q & A forum but it did not give me any option to create a post. I just earned my second set of 8 bonus points, totalling 16, yet when I try to click the checkbox to buy GDI, the box won't check. It shows it being there but cant click it. Why? Am I missing something?

1st you need to join gdi and then use points.

Ahh, that did it! Thank you!

can't get freebie before joining.

you aren't 1st nor last to wonder that.
