According to the rules each scenario is allowed 1 player chronicle and 1 gm chronicle. Am I allow to assign credit for games I GM backed 2008 to apply to a character?
Sticky question ... I'm of the opinion no, GM credit didn't start until sometime in 2010 if I remember right... but hopefull the big man will weight in and give you a solid answer

There was no GM Reward system in 2008, and when it was instituted by Josh Frost he specifically said it wasn't retroactive. If you want to get credit, you will need to do what everyone else has and GM the scenario again, then report the session and collect the GM Reward chronicle. Sorry. Look on the bright side, the perks for GMs have come a long way since we had to eat scenarios in 2008.
Also, you are not allowed to hold a GM Chronicle sheet to apply to a PC later. You must specify which PC gets the credit when you complete the tracking sheet.
See PFS Guide 4.2 page 39, paragraph above "GM Stars"

That's incorrect Don. Mike has stated you can bank credit. I'll let someone like Jiggy post the link since he's got a memory for where that stuff is stored.

Actually, Mike stated you have to apply the credit immediately, you just don't have to actually build the character who has the pile of credit on him until you're ready to take him to the table.
That is, your GM credit must immediately be tied to a PC#, but that number can be a stat-less blob of theory up until it's time to play him.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the link at the moment. :/

I found the thread where it was actually never stated at the end what the decision was.

The Stat-less blob is dated prior to the undefined, do whatever thread...
The discussion leading to the "statless blob" question is then the most recent comment we have regarding when/how GMs must apply credit. The stance at the time was that GM credit must be applied to a PC# immediately. And since that apparently hasn't changed (unless I missed something), that's how it still works.

Meh...
Personally, doesn't effect me. I don't use GM credit, and I rarely play a character.
