You can earn up to 2,500 credits total for LinkedIn posts, not per post. You get 500 credits per post, with a maximum of 5 posts (500 × 5 = 2,500). [1]
So your total should be: 1,000 (joining) + 3,000 (completing assignments) + 2,500 (5 LinkedIn posts) = 6,500 credits maximum. [2]
If you received 4,000 credits, it appears you got the joining and completion credits but not the LinkedIn post credits. Make sure you submitted your posts through the student portal during the cohort period. [3]
Since you submitted your LinkedIn posts through the student portal but didn't receive the 2,500 credits, there may be a processing issue or the posts weren't properly validated. [1]
LinkedIn post credits (500 per post, max 5 posts) must be posted during the cohort period and submitted via the student portal to qualify. [2]
If you need further help with this credit discrepancy, please ask to speak with a human who can investigate your specific submission and credit allocation.
Thanks Nitin! I chatted with the education team, and do you mind re-routing your question into the cohort channel please? Someone from our team should be able to help you out there!
