Some users are asking why will Discord not use my Nitro credits. If you have the credits on your account and you are unable to use them then this guide article by XperimentalHamid is for you. No matter how many Nitro credits you have on your account, if you cannot use them there is no point in having them in the first place. But is there really no way to utilize them? You will find out all here.
Why Will Discord Not Use My Nitro Credits?
Nitro is Discord’s currency. You can use it to unlock additional perks on your account. For example, get a personalized profile, share larger files breaking the upload limits, HD streaming, screen sharing, server boasts, animated avatars, and upgrade your emojis, among many other options. Of course, you can send videos without Nitro and enjoy some other features, but with Nitro, there is no guilty feeling.
There are many ways to earn free Nitro on the platform from the partnership program to installing the mobile app, participating in giveaways, and following Discord events. Let’s say you have earned the Nitro credits but they might not be usable until you add your credit card. Before doing that there is a free option that you should try.
Free Method
There is another option that you can utilize to get the credits without adding a payment method on the platform. For this do the following steps if you still have three days grace period:
- Go to the ‘User Settings’ and find the Subscriptions.
- Now cancel the subscription if you have a three-day period still remaining.
- If you are past that period then go to ‘Discord Nitro.’
- If the Nitro credit is ‘Nitro Classic’ move down to the end of options and choose the ‘Subscribe for Nitro Classic’ option.
- This will come with an option to charge you $0 from the account. After this, you can use those stuck credits freely now.
This method works every time. Without paying for extra Nitro, you can put to use what is already available on your account. It works every time and you do not need to add the payment method.
But at times for some users, the above method might stop working or may not work at all from the very first day. In that case, you should add your payment method to use these Nitro. Don’t worry you will not be charged for this.
How to Add Payment Method on Discord
In case you do not find the above method working for you, you must know how to insert your billing information. To add your credit card do the following:
- Go to Discord and find the ‘Settings’ option from the bottom left corner.
- Then head to the billing section and choose ‘Add Payment Method’ under the ‘Payments Method’ tab.
- Once inside this option, you have the choice to go with the ‘Card’ or ‘PayPal’ option.
- Choose the most suitable option and enter your information.
- Then press/click the ‘Next’ button on the screen.
- Then enter your billing information and when tap/click ‘Next’ your card will be automatically added as one of the payment methods.
Now without doing this, you cannot address the ‘why will Discord not use my Nitro Credits’ issue. The above steps will add the payment method to your account and you can then sign up for the same type of Nitro that you have credits for. In this situation, you will not be charged for these credits but you will be able to use the balance that was not usable before.
Final Words
Do you see a lot of Nitro credits on your account and find yourself unable to utilize them? Why will Discord not use my Nitro credits is the question asked by every Discord user who has free credits on his/her account. But using the options described above you can make use of them without spending money.
