The First-Purchase and First-Subscription Bonus: How It Is Counted and When It Ends

Quick answer: Your first credit purchase and your first subscription on the website each carry a bonus (in-app purchases in the mobile apps do not): extra credits on top of what you buy, granted the moment payment lands. The offer runs in stages counted from your sign-up, each with its own deadline, which is why the buy window shows a countdown next to it; after the last stage there is no bonus. It is counted on the whole order — for a yearly plan, on the full year — and arrives at once, even though the plan’s own credits arrive monthly. It is a bonus on a first order only: a second purchase is at the normal rate, and a refund of the order takes the bonus back with it.

Open the buy-credits window on a new account: each package shows its bonus and the time left at that rate.

Where the bonus shows

In the buy-credits window, next to each package; on the membership page, on each plan. The number and the countdown come from the server at the moment you look, so what you see is what you get if you pay now. When a stage’s countdown ends, the next stage shows with its own deadline, until the last one is over.

The SceneMixer episode editor: asset library on the left, the storyboard in the middle, the video preview on the right, and every segment along the bottom timeline — The buy-credits window and the membership page show the bonus and its countdown; the number is live, not a promise.

How it is counted

Credit purchase: bonus rate × the credits in the package, granted with the purchase. Subscription: bonus rate × the whole order’s monthly allowances, granted on payment day even though the allowances themselves arrive one per month. Yearly Plan Credits Arrive Monthly.

Why there is a countdown

The offer runs in stages, each with its own name, rate and deadline, counted from your sign-up (for accounts older than the offer, from the day it started). The window shows the current stage’s deadline; when it passes, the next stage begins. After the last stage there is no bonus. It is once per account: the stage you buy in is the one you get.

What it does not stack with

The bonus is a first-order thing. A promo code on the same order is separate and does not change it. A second purchase, or a second subscription, has no bonus. Promo Codes.

Refunds and chargebacks

A full refund or a chargeback of the order reclaims the bonus along with the order’s credits; if the balance no longer covers it, queued tasks that have not started are cancelled first. For a membership, any remaining shortfall is deducted from later membership grants; for a credit pack it is noted on the order. Refund Rules.

Order	Bonus counted on	Arrives
First credit purchase	Credits in the package	With the purchase
First monthly subscription	One month's allowance	On payment day
First yearly subscription	Twelve months' allowance	On payment day, at once
Any later order	No bonus	—
