All of the EZ-Robot purchases made for my were by my GF who set up an account to order my Roli kit last Christmas. So, I've had no transactions with this account. I was on the shop page the other day and notice I have some store credit. I'm just wondering how and how long I have to use it? Thanks

Logitech F710 Questions
