What it does
Points programs tend to pile up dormant balances. Users earn points, forget about them, and the totals on your site stop reflecting real activity. This addon gives each point balance a shelf life. You can pick an exact expiration date or set expiry after a chosen number of days, which nudges members to redeem or use their points within a set window and keeps your points economy accurate and manageable.
The addon works with your existing myCred setup and is configured from the WordPress dashboard. You can apply one expiration policy across the whole site or adjust settings for individual users. Before points expire, it sends personalized email notifications so members are not caught off guard. It runs on single WordPress sites and on multisite networks, and it lists BuddyPress as a requirement, so it suits community sites that already use both.
Best for
- Community sites running myCred with BuddyPress
- Loyalty programs that want points redeemed within a timeframe
- Multisite networks managing gamification across sites
Features
Date or duration expiry
Set an exact expiration date for points, or define expiry as a specific number of days, depending on how your loyalty program is structured.
Email alerts before expiry
Users automatically receive personalized email notifications about upcoming point expirations, giving them a chance to use their points first.
Site-wide expiration policies
Apply a general expiration rule across your whole site so every member follows the same timeframe for using earned points.
Per-user expiry settings
Customize expiration settings for individual users when someone needs a different rule than the site-wide default.
Single site and multisite
Use the addon on a standard WordPress installation or deploy it across a WordPress multisite network.
Dashboard configuration
Configure and monitor expiration rules from the WordPress dashboard, alongside the rest of your myCred points settings.
Clears dormant points
Expired points are removed automatically, which keeps balances tidy and reduces the buildup of unused points on your site.
