Ashley Madison’s credits explained
On Ashley Madison, women can send messages for free, while men can communicate with others if they purchase a package. While other dating websites are subscription-based, on Ashley Madison, the male members have to purchase credits.
The Ashley Madison credits are then used for accessing features on Ashley Madison, like sending messages to women who the member is interested in. The Ashley Madiso credits can also be used for accessing other features like highlighting the member profile for 30 days so that it is more attractive to other members, and sending virtual gifts to women the member is interested in.
One of the advantages of using credits compared to subscription is that the credits do not expire so that if a member is not using Ashley Madison for a few months, the credits in his account will not expire, unlike subscriptions which are wasted if the member is not active on the website.
Members who pay for credits can decide if they wish to remain in contact with the members they have communicated with earlier. For this, the member has to pay a monthly initiated contact ( MIC) fee of $29.99 to Ashley Madison. Members can purchase the credits using the button on the home page of their account
