Credits

Credits are the secondary form of currency in the virtual world of Kaneva, differing from Rewards in the sense that they cannot be earned through conventional means. Credits must be purchased via Kaneva.com or by picking up prepaid cards from select target stores (As of July 21 2008 Target has discontinued sale of these cards, though they remain available on Target.com [1.].

General
While Rewards can and are earned by virtually every Kaneva member on a daily basis, Credits remain the harder currency to acquire, though the more widely accepted. To date every store in Kaneva accepts Credits as a currency, while a dwindling number continue to accept Rewards as an alternative though there remains no difference in the pricing (An item sold for 500 Rewards would cost 500 Credits if the player chooses to use them, for example).

In terms of real-world equivalence, 4,500 Credits would come to $25 USD, while $10 USD would round out to 1,500 Credits [2.] [3.]. While not an astronomical amount by any means, 4,500 Credits is more than enough to purchase the most expensive items in the game.

At this moment Credits are the only form of money accepted to upgrade or purchase new homes as well as the Dance Party 3D dance floor.
