Gift cards and tokens
Buy and redeem gift cards, and turn the tokens you earn into credit.
Gift cards
A gift card is a code worth money on Smile Hosting. Redeeming one adds its value to your account balance, which you can spend at checkout.
Buy one
- Go to Gift Cards.
- Choose a value.
- Enter the Recipient email and, if you like, a Message.
- Click Purchase code. The code is sent straight away.
Redeem one
- On the gift card page, find Redeem a code.
- Enter the code - it looks like
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX- and click Redeem.
The value is added to your balance, which you’ll see under Billing > Account balance. You can also type a code straight into the Gift card code box at checkout. Gift cards don’t expire.
Use one on Smile VPS
Gift cards with a money value can also be redeemed on Smile VPS, where they come off your VPS payments instead - see Billing, your card and gift cards. Each code can only be redeemed once, on one account.
Tokens
Tokens are a thank-you for paying. Every plan you buy through Stripe earns them automatically.
| Earning | 10 tokens for every £1 you pay through Stripe |
| Spending | 200 tokens = £1 of account credit |
| Expiry | Never |
NotaPlans paid for with account balance or a gift card don’t earn tokens - no new payment was made.
Turn tokens into credit
- Go to the Token shop.
- Enter how many Tokens to redeem. You’ll see what they’re worth before you confirm.
- Click Redeem for credit. The credit lands in your account balance straight away.
Your token balance is shown under Billing > Tokens on your dashboard.
