Must know
  • A credit is counted when the invoice is paid, not when the item is added to the cart.
  • One credit covers one paid billing event — a one-time registration spends one; a program billed on a recurring schedule spends one each cycle it uses the pass.
  • A single drop-in session can use a pass for its discounted rate but never spends a credit — only full-program registrations draw one down.
  • Each renewal cycle resets credits to the full allocation — use-it-or-lose-it, with no rollover.
  • Available on plans that include Passes — if you don’t see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
Only credit passes track usage — an unlimited pass never runs down. A credit pass meters usage as the family registers. A credit is spent when a registration that used the pass’s discounted price is paid. Adding a program to the cart shows the discounted price, but the credit isn’t deducted until payment goes through — so an abandoned cart never burns a credit. A one-time registration that used the pass spends exactly one credit. For a program billed on a recurring schedule, the best price is re-checked every cycle, so the same ongoing enrollment can draw down another credit at each renewal for as long as the pass keeps winning the price. Single drop-in sessions are the exception. On a Full & Drop-in program a credit pass can unlock the discounted drop-in price, but booking a drop-in never draws down a credit — the pass simply grants its rate for that session, so credits are only spent by full-program registrations. If a credit pass is added in the same cart as the programs it discounts, it lowers those prices immediately, but it carries no credit balance yet — the balance only exists once the pass itself is purchased. So an in-cart pass discounts now and starts metering after it’s actually bought. When a recurring pass renews, its credits reset back to the full allocation for the new cycle. Unused credits do not roll over — anything left when the cycle ends is lost, and the family starts fresh at the next renewal. Once a credit pass hits zero within a cycle, it stops discounting and the family pays the next-best price until it resets.
