What is an exercise credit?
An exercise credit lets you claim one exercise of your choice from the Exercise Library.
When you claim an exercise, you'll permanently unlock that exercise: its problem statement, its tests, the ability to submit solutions, and the solution walk-through. Claiming costs 1 credit (the claim button will say so before you spend anything).
How can I get exercise credits?
Credits can come from several places:
- Signing up: the free trial starts you with 3 exercise credits
- The Lite plan: 1 credit on the 1st of each month (this continues while your subscription is paused, through the end of the billing period you've paid for)
- The Legacy Standard plan: 1 credit each week
- Redemption codes: gift or promotional codes add credits when redeemed
- Buying credits: you can buy exercise credits at any time, no subscription needed
How do I spend an exercise credit?
Find an exercise you'd like to solve in the Exercise Library and claim it. The button will note that claiming uses 1 exercise credit and how many you have left.
Credits are never spent automatically. If you don't claim anything, your credits just sit in your account, ready for later.
Do exercise credits expire?
No. Exercise credits never expire. You can use them now or years from now.
If my account is cancelled, can I still use exercise credits?
Yes. Credits survive cancellation. Even without any paid subscription, you can log in and spend your credits to claim new exercises, and you'll keep full access to every exercise you claim.
Do All Access subscribers need credits?
No. All Access subscribers can claim any exercise from the Exercise Library without spending credits, so any credits in your account will go unused while you're subscribed.
If you have unused credits when you sign up for All Access, you'll be offered the option to convert your credits into a discount on your All Access subscription. The exact amount is shown on the conversion page before you confirm anything. Your credits also keep their value if you'd rather save them for after your subscription ends.
Can I stop my credits from being used automatically?
There's nothing to stop: credits are never used automatically. You only spend a credit when you claim an exercise yourself.
If what you'd like to stop is the exercise reminder emails, set your email frequency to "Never" on your Preferences page.
