We all need a little help sometimes, for lots of different things. Our communities are no different, and this is where Time Credits come in. If you give an hour of your time to your community, your community will thank you by giving you an hour back to spend on something you like to do. Everyone s hour is worth the same and everyone gets thanked. There s no limit to how many credits you can earn, and the more you earn the more you can spend. Time Credits never expire.
