About CampusNIL

​

Q4: How do Cash Credits work?
A: Cash Credits offer a powerful incentive system benefiting both advertisers and students. Advertisers reach millions of students directly for several weeks, 80% of ad revenue is distributed as Cash Credits to students, and Credits can be combined with student discounts for even greater savings. Example: a student gets $100 off a $1,000 smartphone via discount, then applies Cash Credits to reduce the $900 balance further. This creates a cycle of rewards for advertisers, students, and CampusNIL.

A: Yes. For example, if a student buys a $500 laptop and applies $200 in Cash Credits, they pay $300 out-of-pocket.

​
