So I've recently started back on the site. Someone gave me a buddy GA as a welcome back thing but I'm not sure what that is? There's nothing in my inventory...

A buddy GA gives you a Gold Account for a month. Here's a list of the perks in case you don't remember what they all are.

They are given as part of the rewards for subscribing at higher levels. The subscribers can't use them for themselves, only give them away. They activate immediately, so there is no "item" that goes with them.

You can also choose to not accept them under your Preferences.

Thank you guys for your help! Seems there plenty to relearn
