myCred Expiration Addon 1.3.3
Wordpress Plugins Mycred 4.8 (1.2K reviews)
The myCred Expiration Addon is a WordPress extension that works directly with the myCred loyalty points plugin. Its purpose is to automate the expiration of points, removing the need to track lifetimes by hand or build custom scripts. You define rules that make points expire after a set number of days or on a specific date, and the addon applies those rules across your user base. This stops points from piling up indefinitely, which keeps the loyalty currency meaningful and encourages people to return and redeem before time runs out. The addon supports different expiration durations for different point types, and you can base those durations on when points were awarded or on a user’s role. Everything is managed through the existing myCred settings area inside WordPress, so there is no separate interface to learn. It is designed as a natural extension of myCred, not a replacement for it. Administrators can also review which points expired and when through a dedicated log.
One of the most useful parts of this addon is the notification system. When a user’s points are close to expiration, they receive an email alert, and you can customize the timing and the message template to fit your brand. That small reminder often nudges people to spend points on rewards or participatory actions before the deadline. For administrators, there is the ability to expire points in bulk. This helps with cleanups, seasonal promotions, or special campaigns where you want everyone’s balance reduced at the same time. The bulk process is built to run efficiently even with large datasets. There is also a grace period setting that allows a short window after the expiration date before points are permanently removed. If you need to handle things manually, the addon lets you trigger point expiration for specific users or user groups right from the dashboard. Expiration events are recorded in a log, which gives you an audit trail of what expired, when, and for whom.
The addon integrates cleanly with the myCred ecosystem. It is tested with myCred version 2.0 and above and with current WordPress releases. Installation follows the standard WordPress process: upload the plugin zip file, activate it, and then configure expiration settings under myCred > Settings > Addons. All options are collected in one panel, so you can manage point expiry, notifications, exclusions, and logs from a single location. Developers will find hooks and filters that make custom integrations possible, such as adjusting which points are eligible for expiration or adding custom actions when points expire. The addon is built with security and performance in mind, using efficient database queries. It handles small communities and large membership sites without requiring constant supervision. The only real upkeep is deciding on your rules and letting the addon enforce them.
In practice, the expiration addon opens up several campaign styles that are hard to run manually. You can issue bonus points for a seasonal event and have them expire a week after that event ends, creating urgency. Limited-time offers become easy to manage, because points earned during the promotion automatically vanish on schedule. You can also support customer retention strategies by expiring points when a member has not made a purchase in a long period, or tie expiration to membership tiers to encourage upgrades or renewals. Community sites can reward activity with points that must be spent within a certain window, keeping the system active. Because the addon works across all myCred point types, you can apply different rules to different rewards. The overall effect is a loyalty program where points have a clear lifecycle, users have a reason to act, and the value of your currency stays consistent over time.
