Thanks for using IMVU! To show our appreciation and to thank you for helping IMVU grow, we have introduced a usage rewards program. Now you can earn Credits just for using IMVU and introducing new people to the World's Greatest 3D Chat! Here is a summary of the easy and fun ways to earn FREE Credits.

Earn Credits for Referring People to IMVU

• Invite friends: When you invite a friend, you can earn:
• 500 Credits when the invited friend logs in to the IMVU chat client for the first time.
• An additional 500 Credits when the invited friend has their 1st 3D chat.
• An additional 500 Credits when the invited friend has their 5th 3D chat.
• When the invited friend buys Credits you earn between 1,000 and 10,000 Credits every time they buy a Pack or Avatar Name!
• Got a web page? If you have a social network profile page, blog, or website... take part in the Power Earners Program and place your avatar info or banners on web pages. You'll earn Credits each time someone joins IMVU through your web page (just like referring your friends above)!

• Compete: When your outfit design places in the top 6 in the Daily Outfit Challenge you win between 1000 and 5000 Credits. Visit the Outfits Challenge Submission page for details!

NOTE: We are currently making changes to how we reward IMVU users for inviting their friends. We aim to continue to reward people for sharing IMVU with their friends while reducing the opportunities for people to earn Credits by spamming or inviting themselves repeatedly.

NOTE: To prevent fraud, we have recently installed a filter that prevents referral Credits being given if the inviter and the recipient have the same IP address. These steps were taken at the request of our current users and Developers in order to help protect the IMVU economy. We realize that this may adversely affect those families, friends, or classmates who share the same computer terminal, and for this we greatly apologize. We are still looking for a better solution to this dilemma. If you have any suggestions about how to improve the current system we would love to hear them. Please write us at [email protected] with your suggestions or comments.
