DID YOU KNOW?
TPT Feedback = TpT Credits
It’s like
FREE
MONEY!
TpT credits are points which
can be applied to future
purchases to save you money.
To earn credits: After you
make a purchase, you'll need
to leave feedback on your
purchase. We recommend
waiting to do so until you've
had a chance to use the
product. When you're ready
to leave feedback, just return
to "My Purchases" and click
the "Provide Feedback" link to
the right of the date
purchased.
For every dollar you spend on
TpT, you'll earn 1 credit—and
we'll round up for you, too! If
you provide fair feedback on
a $4.75 item, you will earn 5
credits. Every 20 credits you
earn equals $1 to apply
toward future TpT purchases.
Please note that TpT credits are only earned for feedback left on active, paid teacher-created resources. There isn’t an option to
leave feedback when you purchase TpT gift cards, so credits aren’t earned for them. Credits are not earned for feedback left on
free downloads either.
To redeem credits: Once you've earned at least 20 credits, you'll see the option to apply credits at checkout.
When you are in your cart, look under the "Checkout" button and expand the "Redeem TpT Credits" section. To redeem your
credits, enter in the number of credits you'd like to apply toward your order, and click "Apply."
