# What are pass credits and what happens when they run out?

> How a Credits pass spends uses per registration and resets each cycle.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * A **Credits** pass has a fixed number of uses; one use is spent per covered registration.
  * A credit is spent when the registration's invoice is **paid**, not the moment you add it to your cart.
  * Credits don't roll over — they reset to the full number each renewal cycle (use-it-or-lose-it).
</Note>

A pass comes in one of two flavours. An **Unlimited** pass applies its price to every covered registration for as long as it's valid. A **Credits** pass instead includes a set number of uses — for example, "10 credits" — and each covered registration spends one.

**How a credit is spent.** When you register a covered athlete for a program at the pass price, one credit is set aside for that registration and is deducted once the invoice is paid. Adding something to your cart doesn't spend a credit on its own — the payment does. You can see how many credits remain in the athlete view of your portal.

**Single-session drop-ins.** If your gym sets a Credits pass price for single-session drop-in bookings, holding the pass gets you that rate without spending a credit — the booking is discounted, but nothing is deducted. You do still need at least one credit left for the rate to apply.

**When credits run out.** Nothing breaks — you simply stop getting the pass discount. Once the pass has no uses left, the next covered registration falls back to the next-best price (the regular program price, or another pass or membership tier you hold). Your athlete can still register; it just isn't discounted by the empty pass.

**Credits don't carry over.** Unused credits don't roll into the next period. On an auto-renewing pass, the count resets to its full allocation each renewal cycle, so it's genuinely use-it-or-lose-it — plan to use them within the cycle.
