A little bit about how it all works


Earning Creds
As a user how do I earn Creds?

You can now earn Creds in multiple ways!

  1. Shop via our website
  2. Post a deal
  3. Share a deal
How can I tell if i'm earning Creds?

At the top of our website you'll see your current Cred balance

On Shopping:

  1. Always click on the "Shop Now" or "Shop This Deal" buttons located on Shopcred to open the retailers online store.
  2. Just shop as you normally would
  3. You will receive an email from Shopcred notifying you of your Creds earned; generally within 1 and 48 hours from purchase.

Through website interaction:

  1. We'll automatically assign you Creds when you post a new eligible deal or share an eligible deal.
How do I track my Cred earnings?

Visit your account pages to see which stores you've clicked through and your Cred balance. For sales made, once the store notifies us of your purchase, which will generally take 1 to 48 hours, we'll update your Cred balance and send you an email.

What if I earn Creds than return, exchange or cancel the purchase?

Returned, cancelled and exchanged orders will void Creds earned and they will be deducted from your Cred balance.

To make sure that you will get your Creds on any exchanged orders, after returning the order you will need to place an entirely new order at the online store after clicking through from Shopcred.

How do I redeem my Creds?

Simply just click on 'Redeem' and choose your payment method.

All confirmed and available Cred balances that total over 2000 Creds are available for redemption.

What is the difference between 'Pending' and 'Available' Creds?

'Pending' is when your purchase has been tracked by the store yet your Creds are 'pending' prior to final confirmation from the store. Final confirmation is usually received after the return period of the goods or services has passed and/or the transaction is verified by the store, this generally takes anywhere from 14 days to 3 months.

'Available' is when the return period of the goods has passed and/or the transaction is verified by the store or Shopcred.

Once your account has over 2000 Creds approved, you can redeem them by clicking 'Redeem Creds' and choosing your payment method.

Please be advised that once you have submitted or updated your existing bank account details you will need to wait 48 hours before submitting a payment request. Once requested, payments may generally take up to 5 business days to be processed.

My Creds have been reported lower than expected?

You can only earn Creds on the purchase price excluding GST and shipping, delivery and any other such costs.

If you still believe the Creds are incorrect please submit an enquiry on the help page under your account.
