Understand conditional earned-credit, referral, and advocate experiences without relying on expired reward terms.

Account and billing

Open Earn credits to see the actions or referral program currently enabled for your account, and treat the live terms as authoritative.

## Read before this

Read these direct prerequisites in order. Each guide lists any earlier context it assumes.

1. [1 Credits Understand estimates, reservations, charges, expiry, and auto top-up.](https://www.ngram.com/docs/credits)
2. [2 Account and preferences Manage profile details, job behavior, notifications, and deletion.](https://www.ngram.com/docs/account-and-preferences)

## Decide whether an activity can earn credits

You have a tutorial to share and want to know whether it qualifies for a reward. Check the actions, eligibility and terms currently displayed in Earn credits before you do the activity. Treat an action as eligible only when your account offers it.

If your subscription renewed and the balance looks wrong, first check your credit balance and renewal rules. A referral action is a separate transaction. [Check credit balances and resets](https://www.ngram.com/docs/credits) .

## Availability can differ

Earn credits and Advocate experiences are controlled by the current program configuration. Your account may show a legacy earned-credit page, a newer advocate experience, or no program entry. Do not rely on an older screenshot as proof that an action or reward is still available.

## Review an available action

1. Open Earn credits from the current Studio navigation when it is present.
2. Read the action, eligibility, frequency, verification, and reward shown before doing the work.
3. Complete only an action you are permitted to publish and can verify through the stated method.
4. Submit the requested public link or evidence through the visible Claim flow.
5. Use My status or the equivalent current view to check whether the claim is pending, approved, or rejected.

## Referrals and larger programs

A visible program may include referral milestones, creator or writer opportunities, an affiliate offer, or a leaderboard. Eligibility, attribution, verification, credits, payout, and commission terms can change independently. The live page and any linked partner terms are authoritative at the time you participate.

## If a reward or claim is missing

Confirm that the action was active when completed and that the submitted account or public link matches its rules. Allow the review period stated in the live program. If the status remains incorrect, contact Support with the action name, submission time, public evidence link, and visible status; do not send account passwords or access tokens.
