How do credits work?

Understanding how requests are valued and why

Updated over a month ago

When you see a request you’re interested in, you simply need to use a couple of credits to send a quote. This is the ONLY fee you’ll pay us - we don’t take a commission and there is no subscription involved.

You can see the number of credits required to quote when previewing the event details.

How does Add To Event use credits?

We use credits to give an individual price to a quote. Our pricing algorithm means that requests which are more valuable cost more credits when you send a quote to the organiser. Less valuable requests require fewer credits.

Credits need to be bought in what we call "credit bundles". The price per credit gets cheaper the bigger the bundle of credits you buy.

The number of credits required to send a quote depends on a variety of factors. We regularly review the credit value algorithm to ensure that they are fairly priced and reflect the value of a job to you.

How do I buy credits?

Credits are available to purchase in bundles of 50, 100, and 250. You can purchase your next credit bundle here. After your quote, you can see the organiser's full name and telephone number. Any correspondence with an organiser is absolutely free after that point.

How do I know how many credits a quote will cost?

You will see the number of credits a quote would require at the top of an organiser’s request, so you can quickly decide if you’d like to respond.

Automatic refunding of unviewed quotes

We try our hardest to ensure that all quotes sent by suppliers are viewed by organisers.

However some are never viewed which means your quote never had a chance of being accepted.

We automatically refund credits for quotes that have not been viewed by an organiser within 14 days of the quote being sent. These credits are automatically credited to your account and you can view them here:
