# Credit Reward Action

## ❓What is the Credit Reward Action

Once Rewards is implemented, a new Action type—**Credit Reward**—will be available in your list of Activity Actions.

This Action enables you to credit Rewards elements (such as Generic Bonuses, Funds, Virtual Currency, Wheel Bonuses, and Challenges) that you've configured. These elements can then be used seamlessly across other areas of Fast Track CRM, including within Activities.

## ⚙️ How to use the Action?

To use the **Credit Reward** action, simply select it as one of the Actions when creating an Activity within FT CRM.\
This allows you to credit any Rewards element directly through your CRM workflows.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Did you know?** \
You can fine tune the expiration of your Rewards Bonus using the "**Override default validity for bonus**" setting, this allows you to even set a **specific date & time** as the expiration!
{% endhint %}

You can credit any **Bonuses** (Including [**Challenges**](https://www.fasttrack.ai/en/resources/knowledge-base/rewards/challenges)**,** Wheel tokens and Virtual Currency) that you set up through the [**Bonuses**](https://www.fasttrack.ai/en/resources/knowledge-base/rewards/bonuses) section in Rewards.

### :rocket: One-off Reward Actions

If you want to send Challenges, Virtual Currency or Wheel Spins to your players through an Activity but haven't set them up in the Bonuses section of Rewards, you can still use these actions and **set them up on the go.**

{% hint style="danger" %}
We strongly advise you to use these as last resort when you haven't been able to setup a Rewards Bonus, otherwise you can use **Credit Reward** as explained above!
{% endhint %}

### **Credit Challenge**

Allows you to set-up a Challenge from scratch, with the same options available when creating a [Challenge Bonus](https://www.fasttrack.ai/en/resources/knowledge-base/rewards/challenges#how-to-set-up-challenges).

{% hint style="info" %}
When using **Credit Challenge**, you will only need to set up the **Active state** of the Challenge. When it's credited to your players they won't need to click on the CTA to activate it!
{% endhint %}

### **Credit Virtual Currency**&#x20;

Allows you to **add** the desired amount of Virtual Currency to players in your Segment, this still requires [Virtual Currencies](https://www.fasttrack.ai/en/resources/knowledge-base/rewards/virtual-currencies) to be setup beforehand.

### **Debit Virtual Currency**&#x20;

Allows you to **remove** the desired amount of Virtual Currency to players in your Segment, this still requires [Virtual Currencies](https://www.fasttrack.ai/en/resources/knowledge-base/rewards/virtual-currencies) to be setup beforehand.

{% hint style="success" %}
Pro Tip: this Action can be used to **expire** Virtual Currency, for example by targeting all inactive players in your Segment, and using this to remove all the Virtual Currency from their account! Note that the Virtual Currency balance of players can not go **below 0**.
{% endhint %}

### **Credit Wheel Token**

Allows you to set-up a Wheel Token from scratch and credit it to your players. This still requires the [Wheel](https://www.fasttrack.ai/en/resources/knowledge-base/rewards/wheels) to be setup beforehand.

{% hint style="info" %}
When using **Credit Wheel Token**, you will only need to select the Wheel, number of spins and expiry. When it's credited to your players they won't need to click on the CTA to activate it, it will be ready to spin
