# Room Credits

## Understanding Credit Types

### Membership Benefit Credits

Credits automatically included with membership plans. Available to members immediately after payment, even before activation date. These credits apply to rooms included in their membership tier.

⚠️ Membership benefit credits EXPIRE when a member's membership ends. Members should be encouraged to use these credits before expiration.

### Purchased Credits

Additional credits members can buy for specific rooms. These credits never expire and remain available even after membership ends. Ideal for additional usage beyond membership benefits.

💡 **Membership Required:** Only members with an active or upcoming (paid but not yet started) membership can purchase room credits. This ensures all members booking rooms have proper access to your space.

3. See detailed breakdown of purchased vs benefit credits for each member
