If you don\u2019t receive your notification within three weeks of reaching the milestone, reach out to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/3545535\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creator Support team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the redemption code on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/reward-redemption.appspot.com\/enter-redemption-code\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creator Awards redemption website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to redeem your Play Button.
