How to use your Community Credits for comments and not your Cash Credits
One of the reasons why I wrote this tutorial is because as a newbie I originally was accidentally using my cash credits for comments. OOPS! I just didn’t know. I was a bit shocked when I could see at the top right that I had made $25 US but when I looked in my credit balance, I had 0. What was going on here?
Once I looked at the credit dashboard, I could see that there were two types of credits Cash Credits and Community Credits. I had to work out how to only use my available Community Credits for comments on my articles and leave the Cash Credits to accumulate towards paying my membership.
Here is what I found.
The Site Comments Page
In the top right-hand side is the dollar amount you have earned for a month so far.
$ - The 30-day Earnings amount is what you earned but it doesn’t show if you have used any of it to get comments or cashed it out.
So, if you have plans to build up your cash credits to pay your Wealthy Affiliate membership you need to use the Site Comments through the credit dashboard page so that you only use community credits, not cash credits.
Go up to the $ sign at the top right of your membership page, click on this and scroll down to the Credit Icon, click on this and it will take you to a new page called the Credit Dashboard showing your credits split into Cash Credits and Community Credits.
I know there’s a lot of things to do in order to succeed here-more so than ever, but I will hang in there for the long hall.
Thank you for sharing.

However, I didn't realized they are many benefits, what a wonderful surprise.
You took the time to explain the segments, this truly helps me a lot.
Thank you for sharing this detail lesson.
