Yes, and only adults may buy credits. The only way to get credits is by completing quests on the site or by purchasing them. Beginning in 2010, adults could also purchase credits in the form of a gift card.
You earn 100 free credits for completing any island, and 50 points for the Haunted House, Earth Day game, and Dr. Hare's Secret lab (Earth Day available free through the Poptropica Store). Each username can only get credits from each island once, and points cannot be transferred between usernames.
The definition of "buying credits" means using real money (credit). Poptropica credits can be purchased, or earned by completing the various islands on the site. (100 credits for each island and 50 for the Haunted House that is free in the Poptropica Store.)
Although Poptropica is free to play, there is a paid monthly membership that provides benefits for a monthly fee. Parents or adults can use their credit cards to buy credits, gift cards, and memberships at the Poptropica store.
Yes you do need to buy the credits
but
If you beat a island you could win 100 credits for free.
If you want to get 1,000,000 credits, you have to talk to every living and dead soul in poptropica!
You can get 50 poptropica credits by solving the mysteries on one of the islands. And if you want more credits. then solve all the cases on all the islands!
you get a job
Well it is now you use credits to buy stuff but you can still customize with other players and it will not cost credits to customize with other players but if you want 500 credits you will need to pay $5.00 or if you want 1000 credits you will have to pay $10.00 and if you want 2000 credits you will have to pay $20.00. Playing Poptropica is FREE but... if you want membership you have to pay, or if you want something eXclusive!
No matter what, its free. But just click "new player" and make your person. But if you want to get a membership you either have to get a membership card from target or buy it with a credit card.
first you go to the star at the top of the screen then look around at the store until you find the thing next to your total credits and you click on it and you type in your name your parents name and your parents e-mail that is all i want a smoothy
This is one of the most common poptropica questions that every new person who joins poptropica wants to ask. and the answer to "How do you, like, get credits easily on poptropica" is: Well, beating islands, you'll realise, is very hard work. To get credits easily, you just have to buy them. You can get 500 credit packs for about £3 each. But if you have other things to spend your pocket money on, sadly there's no other way of getting credits. There are cheats for beating every island, but no credit cheats. A GREAT IDEA OF HOW TO GET LOTS OF CREDITS My friend told me this absolutely wonderful idea for getting enough credits for every item in the store! first, beat an island. great pumpkin walkthroughs are available here on answers.com, so start there. you get 100 credits. at all costs DO NOT SPEND IT. Then save up and buy a 500 credit pack. DO NOT SPEND THIS EITHER! You now have a huge amount - 600 credits. when you get the chance again, buy another 500 credits. you now have a whopping 1100 CREDITS! Time to spend them all in the store, to buy 250 and 350 credit things that you couldn't buy before! TH REASON WHY THIS IDEA IS HELPFUL Well, say you want the Colourizer, the Multiverse and 1 costume. The price altogether is 675 credits. How on earth will you get that many by beating one island? You won't even have enough by beating it AND buying 500 credits! so you'll have to save up if you want it all in one shopping trip, instead of deciding which you want first. Hope I've helped!
Basically, you CANT! If you want more credits, you'll have to win a island or purchase credits from a friend! SORRY! ':' - HEATHER!
There are no secrets or shortcuts. You earn credits by completing islands. A parent or adult can buy credits, gift cards, or memberships through the Poptropica Store. If you want to play the Haunted House (350 credits) or Dr. Hare's Secret Lab (250 credits), and you have already completed all of the islands, you can make a new username to play islands again. However, you cannot combine credits between usernames.
No, you can get bad credit only if you have a joint (co-signed or authorized user) on the bad person credit card. Keep your accounts separate. If you want to buy a house a lender may require both credits and that is when it would affect you.
facebook credits can help you get enything you want......this is the way.....thank you
If you want to increase your credit card limit, you should use it regularly and create a predictable credit card history. Pay your bills on time.
