myCred Expiration Addon

The myCred Expiration Addon is an official WordPress plugin that extends the capabilities of myCred, the renowned gamification and rewards platform, allowing administrators to set expiration dates and periods for user points. Designed for sites that manage loyalty programs, reward systems, and gamified experiences, this addon adds complete temporal control over the lifecycle of points, preventing balances from accumulating indefinitely and encouraging more active and consistent user engagement.

With this plugin, administrators can configure the number of days after which each user's points will automatically expire. The configuration is flexible: expiration can be applied to all points on the site or to specific earning references, allowing granular control over which actions generate points with a validity period. Each point assignment starts its own validity period, ensuring accurate and transparent tracking of each transaction.

One of the most notable features is the email notification system. The addon sends automatic notices to users before their points expire, keeping them informed and giving them the opportunity to redeem their rewards on time. A post-expiration notification is also sent, improving transparency and the overall user experience. Additionally, all expiration events are logged in the myCred log system, allowing complete and traceable auditing of every point awarded and expired.

The addon is easily activated from the WordPress admin panel by dragging the point expiration hook to the active hooks section. From there, you can customize the log template, the number of days for expiration, and the references to which the rule will apply. It is also possible to configure email notifications in advance, defining how many days before expiration the notice should be sent.

This plugin is ideal for online stores, membership platforms, communities, and any site that uses myCred to incentivize participation. By introducing rewards with a validity period, a sense of urgency is generated that motivates users to interact more frequently, redeem their points, and stay engaged with your brand. The result is a healthier, more dynamic points economy aligned with business goals.
