. - On the "Promotions" page, you'll find all promotional codes associated with your current, active billing setup, and the related amounts and statuses, including the following:
- Active: Reward associated with coupon has been granted.
- Redeemed: currently earning: Coupon was successfully redeemed, but the spend requirement (such as “Spend $25 USD, get $50 USD”) hasn't been met yet.
- Processing: Spend requirements (such as “Spend $25 USD, get $50 USD”) have been met and our system is processing the granted reward amount.
- Expired: Coupon expired after redemption and before spend requirement was met.
- Invalidated: Coupon was invalid/invalidated.
Note: In case of a Billing transfer (for example, a change in account ownership), any active promotional credits will not be transferred or refunded. Your promotional credits will expire and will not be available for future use after the transfer is complete. You can continue to use them in the meantime.
You can view promotions associated with any past billing setup by selecting the past billing setup from the Billing transfers page and then navigating to the "Promotions" page.
