Are you wondering what on earth is up with your affiliate credits?

Or, what's the deal with cashing out your cash credits?

I earned my first few credits this month. I've written this post to save your time in trawling through the various posts regarding this topic. There are rules for each type so that everyone earns credit fairly.

Affiliate credits

This is for those actively participating in WA's referral program.

To earn: get referrals.

To cash out or use this, you need

at least 5% of your referrals to be premium, AND
at least 40 credits.

Considering the conditions for cashing out, you can be sure this section is only for those who are really into getting WA referrals.

Cash credits

This is for those who contribute to the WA community.

To earn:

Create training
Register your domain name with SiteDomains

At any time, you can use cash credits in

SiteComments: 2 credits for every comment you request. Save time on commenting on others' posts.
SiteFeedback: 2 credits for every piece of feedback you request. Save time on giving feedback on others' sites, especially if you're not that great with building websites generally.
SiteDomains. I love this one. Domains typically cost $13 a year. What if you could get your domain name for free for the next year and/or beyond?

To cash out, you need at least 20 credits.

For me, cash credit is easier to earn. I recently got 10 cash credits. Maybe I'll use them on SiteComments.

What is your experience with cash or affiliate credits?
