Bonuses and discounts

The Bonuses and discounts page displays bonus credits and active discounts for the account.

To open this page:

1. Click the profile icon in the top-right corner.
2. Select Profile.
3. Navigate to Billing > Bonuses and discounts.

Bonus credits

Bonus credits are points credited to an account for a limited period and used to pay for Gcore products. They are credited to the bonus account at Gcore’s discretion.

Bonuses convert to currency at a fixed one-to-one rate, so 10 bonus credits equal $10 in the account’s currency.

The Bonus credits table displays the following information:

Column	Description
Date	Date when bonus credits were credited or charged
Sum	Amount of bonus credits; green values with ”+” indicate credited bonuses, red values with ”-” indicate charged bonuses
Expiration	Date range during which the bonus credits are valid
Description	Status of the bonus credits operation

Bonus credits statuses

The Description column shows one of three statuses.

Status	Description
Credited	Bonus credits were credited to the account
Charged for expense ID [number]	Bonuses were debited from the balance for a specific expense
Expired	Bonuses were canceled because they went unused before the expiration date

Bonus credits can be searched by sum using the search field, and filtered by date using the Date dropdown.

Bonus applicability

Bonuses can be configured to apply to specific product categories (Cloud, CDN, or another category).

A bonus limited to certain categories applies only to expenses in those categories, while a bonus without category restrictions applies to all eligible expenses. A bonus with a start date in the past is automatically applied to any existing unpaid charges within that period.

Promo codes

To apply a promo code and receive bonus credits:

1. Click the Add promo code button in the top-right corner of the page.

2. In the Enter promo code dialog, enter the code and click Apply.

After successful activation, the bonus credits appear in the Bonus credits table.

Bonus debiting

Bonuses are debited automatically as part of the payment for products, applied to expenses to reduce the total amount due. The applied amount appears in billing details and on invoices as a credit value against the affected expense items, reducing the final invoice total accordingly.

As bonus credits reduce the taxable amount of expenses, the tax is also recalculated downward.

Discounts

The Discounts section displays all active discounts applied to the account.

The table shows the following information:

Column	Description
Value	Discount percentage applied to the expense
Service	Gcore service the discount applies to (Cloud, CDN, or another service)
Feature	Specific feature or resource type the discount applies to
Valid from	Start date of the discount
Valid until	End date of the discount
Promo code	Promo code associated with the discount, if applicable

Discounts can be filtered by status using the Status dropdown.
