UltimatePoints
UltimatePoints are limited right to use digital licenses. Your points will be held in a balance associated with your PlaySpan account until you use them in exchange for goods and services at a Points-enabled online retailer, such as the PlaySpan Martketplace.
UltimatePoints are specifically designed to enable you to buy very low-priced goods and services without paying additional charges to cover the costs of a credit card transaction. Instead, these fees are incurred only once when you buy Points. This allows PlaySpan to offer you a wider range of products and services than otherwise possible.
Currently UltimatePoints can be purchased using UltimatePay. UltimatePay supports 85+ payment methods depending on your country.
You may also earn your UltimatePoints by selecting 'Earn' in the checkout process and completing offers or surveys.
Purchasing UltimatePoints can speed the delivering of your marketplace purchases because there will be no wait time for third-party payment approval and processing after the initial points purchase is approved.
Earn Points
You can acquire points at no cost by completing advertising offers or surveys that are provided to the PlaySpan Marketplace by third-party partners by clicking on the “Earn Points” link. In some cases the advertiser may request your contact information or require you to make a purchase. Once you provide your contact information or payment details to a third-party advertiser in order to earn points, PlaySpan’s privacy policy will no longer be in force and we will have no control over how the third-party uses your information. PlaySpan makes every effort to police the offers to ensure that they are appropriate to our audience, but cannot guarantee their quality since they are provided by a third party.
There is no difference in value. In all cases, an Ultimate Point in your wallet has the same value and can be redeemed for purchase of items in the store at a value of 100=$1. However, in some cases points that you receive as a reward or a promotional coupon may have a shorter expiration date so it is advised that you spend them as soon as possible.
A separate customer support contact is supplied by the offer provider. Please contact the offer provider directly if you are not awarded your points. If the offer provider does not respond to your complaint in a timely manner, say within 48 hours, please notify PlaySpan customer support so we can look into the issue for you.
You can click on “Earn Points” at any time to check the status of your offers supplied by the offer provider. In some cases it takes several hours or even several days for your offer to be confirmed. At that point, you will be awarded your UltimatePoints. Your current Ultimate Points status is always available at the bottom of the Marketplace page or click on ‘My Profile’ option and select ‘My UP’ tab.
Rewards
Rewards points are awarded to PlaySpan Marketplace customers for performing specific activities such as registering or referring friends. They will appear in your UltimatePoints account at the bottom of the Marketplace page or click on ‘My Profile’ option and select ‘My UP’ tab. You can spend these points just like the UltimatePoints that you have purchased or earned in other ways. If you don’t receive rewards that you feel you are owed, please contact customer support. It is against PlaySpan Marketplace policy for a customer to create multiple accounts in order to receive additional rewards points. If you are found to be in violation of this policy, you risk forfeiture of any points earned from rewards and may be banned from the PlaySpan Marketplace.
You can redeem rewards points just like regular UltimatePoints. See above.
In most cases, rewards points are valid for 90 days. You must spend them in that timeframe or lose them..
Coupon Codes
Coupon codes are provided to PlaySpan Marketplace customers during special promotions. They can be redeemed for UltimatePoints or specific items or packages in the store.
You can redeem coupon codes when you purchase points or other items. Look for “Redeem Coupon” or “Redeem Coupon Code” and follow instructions. Typically you will need to be logged in to your PlaySpan Marketplace account and will need to manually input the code into the form field provided. Delivery of items “purchased” with a coupon code will be delivered in the same way as items purchased through other methods. UltimatePoints received through a coupon code will appear in your regular UltimatePoints account following redemption.
This may vary from coupon to coupon, but typically coupon codes are not “stackable,” meaning you cannot use more than one with a given purchase. Some coupon codes are also designed to be used with a specific account and cannot be used with other accounts. It is against PlaySpan Marketplace policy to create a new or secondary account in order to redeem additional coupons designed as part of a “one per customer” promotional offer. If you are found to be in violation of this policy, you risk forfeiture of any points earned from coupons and may be banned from the PlaySpan Marketplace.
Coupon codes are valid for varying lengths of time. Please read the Terms & Conditions associated with the specific promotion through which you received the code to find out the expiration dates. Points received through redeeming a coupon code are valid for a fixed period of time, typically 90 or 180 days. You must spend them in that timeframe or lose them.
Refer A Friend
You can earn UltimatePoints for referring friends by clicking on the "Refer a Friend" link and then uploading your friends' email addresses. We will send them an email on your behalf inviting them to check out the PlaySpan Marketplace. You will earn points for every friend who comes to the store by clicking on the link in your email and then makes a purchase of at least $5 within 30 days.
You will typically receive your points within a few days of your friend registering and making a purchase. They will appear in your UltimatePoints account which can be viewed at bottom of the Marketplace page or click on ‘My Profile’ option and select ‘My UP’ tab when you are logged in.
If friends that you referred have definitely created accounts and made at least $5 in purchases and you have not received points within a week, please contact PlaySpan Customer Support and we will look into the issue. Please provide your email address and the addresses of your referred friends. It may be, for example, that another PlaySpan customer referred the same friend or your friend did not complete a minimum $5 purchase within 30 days as required.
Payment
Registering for a PlaySpan Marketplace account is free. The only time you pay for anything while using the PlaySpan Marketplace is when purchasing items from the store.

PlaySpan takes security and fraud risk very seriously. We do this to encourage a safe marketplace for you, our payment processors and our game publishers. As such, while we do not explicitly prevent you from having more than one account, we do discourage multiple accounts. PlaySpan may use technologies to verify the number of accounts registering from a house hold or location.
In addition, through our fraud screening policies, we prevent more than one account to use the same payment information. That is, if you use your PayPal account to make payments for your PlaySpan account, we will prevent that same PayPal account from being used in another account. We do this to prevent fraud on the marketplace and for our users.
In addition, there are certain promotional and payment offers, including any rewards offered for registering, that are designed for a customer to receive the offer only once. If we determine that a user has attempted to obtain the same promotional offer multiple times, (for example, by creating multiple registration ids), we will turn off access to the account.
If you believe access has been turned off incorrectly, please contact our customer support team. There are two ways for you to contact Customer Support:
