The Answers
TwellWishes is a date reminder service for Twitter users.
Easy! If you already have a Twitter account, you have a TwellWishes account. Use the Sign in with Twitter button to sign in and start sending TwellWishes today!
You use your API limits in TwellWishes when you pull your list of followers to send birthday requests. Also, if you choose to direct message birthday requests or gift notifications, those will count against your daily direct messaging limits (250 per day). Otherwise, you're safe!
No. We use an authorization mechanism called OAuth to log you into TwellWishes with your Twitter credentials without needing your Twitter password. We never see your password and that's the way it should be!
No. We use PayPal to handle payments securely. We never see your credit card details.
Every TwellWisher gets a link to give to their followers to fill in their birthday. If, for example, your Twitter user name is @angry_muppet, then your followers can come to http://twellwishes.com/birthdays/angry_muppet to add their birthday to your birthday list.

Sure! If you don't want your gifting out in the open, i.e., your Twitter stream, you can check the "Yes, send this gift via DM." checkbox when you send a gift. A notification that you've sent a gift will be sent to the recipient via direct message instead of via your Twitter stream.
TwellWishes gives TwellWishers two ways to send gifts. You can send gifts using credits or pay per gift via PayPal. When you run out of credits, you can buy more credits via PayPal.
Indeed! All TwellWishers start off with 100 gift credits. When you run out of credits, you can buy more credits via PayPal.
You can purchase more gift credits as you need them. Also, when you give gifts, we give you credits according to which gift you sent!
No, you don't have to use credits to send gifts. You can purchase gifts a la carte for the price listed for each gift instead of using credits.
