How can I get FREE Credits?
When new persons register on LivePrivates, they may purchase packages with bonus credits and/or using a coupon code. Bonus credit packages and coupon codes are only available for new purchases of first-time users; a new account registration alone is not considered to be a new user. Should a member attempt to use a coupon code after he had already used one before, then the purchase will be transacted at the displayed discount price, but the credits received will also be decreased to the same extent. Unlike the coupon codes, after a certain amount of credit purchases members will become entitled again to purchase packages with bonus credits. Members can also check the number of required purchases to receive their bonus packages. Bonus credit packages are not available with CCBill and phone purchases. Bonus credits are part of the full credit package, and therefore refunds are NOT possible after spending them on our website.
