- q: "Do credits reset each month?" a: "No. There is no monthly cycle. Your balance carries over until you spend it."
- q: "What happens to credits if I delete my account?" a: "Unspent credits are forfeited when you close your account, so spend them first or ask us before closing." --- Club Ready Music credits are pay-as-you-go: you buy them once and they sit in your balance until you spend them on a render. There is no monthly allowance that resets, so a credit bought in January is the same credit in June.
How the balance works
Your balance is shown in the top bar on every page. Each generation deducts one credit when it is accepted. Topping up adds to the existing balance; it does not start a new period or replace what you had. Because there is no subscription, there is nothing to lapse at the end of a billing cycle.
What the terms say
Expiry, if any, is a legal term rather than a technical one, so it lives in the terms of service. Until that clause is confirmed here, assume your credits remain available and check the terms before buying a large pack.
Why some services expire credits
Prepaid balances are liabilities on a company's books, and some jurisdictions treat them like gift cards with rules about minimum validity. Many consumer protection laws set a floor, for example a minimum of a few years, on how quickly prepaid value may expire. Whatever Club Ready Music's policy, it has to sit inside those rules in the places it sells.
Practical advice
- Buy what you will use in the next few months. The minimum purchase of five credits is deliberately small so you are never forced to stockpile.
- Iterate for free before spending. Lyric drafts, name suggestions and settings changes cost nothing; the credit is spent only on Generate.
- Watch the balance in the top bar. When it shows one or two, top up before a session so you are not interrupted mid-brief.
Credits and account closure
If you close your account, any remaining credits are handled under the refund policy.
Credits are not transferable
Credits are tied to the account that bought them and cannot be moved to another user or exchanged for cash except where a refund applies.
Purchase records
Every top-up is a Stripe payment with its own receipt emailed to you, so you have a record of what you bought and when, independent of the balance shown on the site.
