# What's the difference between unlimited and credit passes?

> Compares the two pass types you pick when creating a pass and how each applies.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * You choose the pass type when you create a pass: **Unlimited pass** or **Credit pass (limited uses)**.
  * A **credit pass must grant at least 1 credit** or it won't save.
  * When a credit pass runs out of uses, the family falls back to the next-best price — the pass simply stops discounting.
  * Available on plans that include **Passes** — if you don't see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
</Note>

Both pass types unlock discounted program pricing for the family that holds them. The difference is how many times that discount applies.

**Unlimited pass.** The discounted tier price applies to every covered registration for the whole family, as long as the pass is within its validity window. There's no per-use limit, so it's the right fit for an "all-access" offer where holders should always get the member price.

**Credit pass (limited uses).** You set a fixed number of credits. Each credit covers one registration at the discounted price. It suits class packs or a set number of drop-in-style sessions where you want to cap how much the discount is used.

Once a credit pass has no credits left, it stops applying — the family is quoted the next-best price they qualify for (another pass, a membership, or the flat price). An unlimited pass never runs out this way.
