Don't worry, it'll happen

I waited over two weeks for my first credit - I run 5 machines, I'm into week 4 and only 3 machines have any credit.

It's slow but it will happen

Have a look around in this forum for a more detailed answer (or on the web site somewhere) but credits are only given when:
1) At least two other users process the same work unit and return the same result; and;
2) The validators has time to reconcile them.
Note that with the current server problems, I wouldn't rely on anything happening quickly. (Not sure if the times they've turned various parts of the server off will also affect things.
