Promotions, Discounts & Credits

,

Offer codes provide campaign credits for marketers, unlocking additional value on the Quantcast Platform. They are only available in Quantcast for Marketers. Offer codes will provide either a pre-defined amount of credits (credits), an accrual rate to collect credits based on the amount spent by the marketer (Promotion), or a discount rate that will be applied to the marketer's invoice (Discounts).

Example: An offer code with a 1:1 accrual ratio will mean the marketer will earn $1 in accrual credits for every $1 they spend on the platform.

To Claim Your Offer Code

1. Sign in to Quantcast

2. In the navigation menu at the top of the screen, choose the Accounts option in the Organization section.

3. On the left navigation bar, click Payments Center > Promotions & Credits.

4. In the Payments Center, click the Redeem Offer Code button. A dialog will appear.

5. In the dialog, enter your offer code in the text input field (you should already have received the code in a separate communication).

6. Click Redeem.

   Once you have successfully completed the process, a message will pop up explaining how many credits you have, when they expire, and any additional details.

Some reminders:

• Redemption limits vary by offer code type: you can redeem multiple Instant and Discount offer codes (though only one Discount will be applied per invoice), but only one Accrual offer code can be active at a time.

• To use your credit, you will need to create a credit-only ad set. For full instructions on creating an ad set, see Ad Set Set Up.

• Credits can only be applied to new ad sets. Due to a system limitation, offer codes cannot be used once an ad set has been enabled or has started delivering.

  • Avoid cloning an entire campaign when using credits. This action automatically locks the new ad sets in an "enabled" state, which will prevent you from applying the code.

  • To use your credit, please create a new, separate ad set. For a full walkthrough, refer to our Ad Set Set Up guide.

• Your credit balance will update regularly as credits are used up. You can always navigate back to the Payments Center to view the remaining balance and see when it was last updated.

• Offer Codes cannot be redeemed while in preview mode.

• You can also check your invoice to confirm that your credits were successfully applied at the end of the month. 

Using your Credits

Credits are utilized on the Ad Set creation page.

Credits expire at the end of the quarter after they are earned.

Once you have accrued credit, it will be available for use on an ad set. For information on how to use credits when creating an ad set, see the Budget and Schedule article.
