# How does a pass lower what I pay for programs?

> Best-price-wins tiered pricing, and how a pass discounts registrations at checkout.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * The **lowest applicable price wins** — the regular program price versus your pass or membership price. If they tie, the regular price is used.
  * A pass or membership can also discount a **single-session drop-in booking**, when your gym sets a drop-in price for holders.
  * A pass bought in the **same cart** also discounts the other program lines in that cart.
</Note>

Your gym can set a special price on a program for pass holders. When you register a covered athlete, Uplifter compares every price that applies to your family and charges the lowest one automatically — you don't enter a code.

**Best price wins.** The system looks at the program's regular price and any price you qualify for through a pass or membership, then uses the cheapest. The discounted price shows on the program the moment a qualifying pass applies, and checkout charges exactly that. If a pass tier happens to match the regular price, the regular price is used.

**Same-cart discounts.** You don't have to buy the pass first and come back. If you add a pass to your cart in the same order as a program registration, the pass discounts those program lines right away — in whatever order you add them.

**Drop-in sessions too.** On a program that offers both a full sign-up and single-session drop-ins, your gym can set a separate holder price for each. When you hold a qualifying pass or membership, both the **Enroll in the full program** and **Drop in for a single session** options show your discounted price — the original struck through, the lower price beside it — and the cheapest still wins per session. If your gym set a holder price only on the full program, drop-in sessions stay at their regular per-session rate.

**Credits passes.** A **Credits** pass only discounts while it still has uses left. Once its credits run out, registrations fall back to the next-best price. An **Unlimited** pass discounts every covered registration for as long as it's valid.
