# Birthday Credits

**Birthday Credits are a benefit that lets you reward your members with a monetary credit on their birthday — a simple way to surprise and delight your customers.**

**How to Set Up Birthday Credits**

1. Go to the **Benefits** tab in your Inveterate admin.
2. Click on **Birthday Credits**.
3. Enter the **name** of the benefit (this is what the member will see).
4. Add a **description** explaining how the benefit works and why the member is receiving it.
5. Upload an **icon** for the benefit (optional).
6. Set the **credit amount** your members will receive.
7. Click **Save** and **enable** the benefit.

{% hint style="info" %}
In the **Settings** section of your Inveterate admin, you can choose whether Birthday Credits can be **combined with other credits**. Be sure to review and adjust this based on how you’d like the benefit to function.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** For this benefit to appear in the member's portal, make sure Birthday Credits are also **enabled in the Benefits section on your Landing Page**. Without this, members won’t see the prompt to enter their birthday.
{% endhint %}

#### What members see

Once enabled, the next time a member logs in to your store and visits their **Rewards Page**, they'll see the **Birthday Credits** section. It will display the following message:

> *"Don't miss out on your birthday treat! Drop your birth date and we'll send you a little something to celebrate."*
