🎁 Rewards Program
Complete data, invite peers, contribute intelligence — every contribution becomes credits: offset cash purchases or unlock vessel contacts.
How credits work
1 credit = $1
Credits offset cash payments for paid services on the platform at $1 per credit.
30-day ledger
All earn & spend records are kept for 30 days and exportable from the account center.
Cleared only on fraud
Credits never expire; they are cleared only for fraud (fake quotes / fake deals).
How to spend credits
| Use | Rules |
|---|---|
| 💰 Purchase discount | When buying paid services on the platform (e.g. market reports, integrity file details), 1 credit = $1 off; max 1 credit per order ≤$29.9, max 2 credits per order >$29.9. Credits are deducted only on successful payment — abandoning checkout costs nothing. |
| 🔓 24h unlock | 1 credit unlocks one vessel's contact for 24 hours; stacking extends by 24h per credit on the same vessel. |
Reports and other paid products no longer support full credit redemption — all purchases are cash + optional credit discount.
