Adventure Credits are our way of saying thanks for adventuring with us. Book a trip, earn credits, spend them on your next one. Here’s exactly how it works — no fine-print surprises, just the rules laid out plainly.
1. The program
1.1 Adventure Credits is the loyalty program operated by 57hours. Anyone who books through 57hours can earn credits, subject to these terms and our standard Terms of Use.
1.2 Credits are issued and tracked in US dollars. If you’re browsing in another currency, we’ll show you the equivalent value at checkout — but the underlying balance always lives in USD.
1.3 Credits have no cash value, can’t be transferred to another person, and can’t be exchanged for money.
2. Earning credits
2.1 You earn Adventure Credits on every booking made through 57hours. The amount is 3% of your total booking value, and you’ll see it before you confirm — on the adventure page, at checkout, and on your confirmation.
2.2 You can earn up to $1,000 in credits per booking.
2.3 Credits are earned on the email address you book with, whether or not you have a 57hours account. To see and spend them, you’ll need to sign in — your credits will be waiting in the Adventure Credits section of your profile.
2.4 You can also earn credits through referrals (see section 3).
2.5 If your booking changes after you confirm — say, someone in your group drops out and the total goes down — your credits are recalculated to match the final booking value right before they become available.
3. Referrals
3.1 Every 57hours account comes with a personal referral link you can share with friends.
3.2 When someone books through your link, $57 comes off their total automatically at checkout. Nothing to enter, nothing to remember.
3.3 You earn $57 in Adventure Credits for the referral. Your credits sit as pending until your friend’s trip is finished, then become available to spend.
3.4 If the referred booking is canceled, the pending referral credits are canceled with it.
3.5 One link, as many friends as you like — each qualifying booking made through your link earns you $57.
4. Pending and available credits
4.1 Credits from a booking start out as pending. They become available one day after your trip ends.
4.2 If your travel dates move, your credits become available one day after the new end date.
4.3 You can track pending, available, and redeemed credits any time in the Adventure Credits section of your profile, including where each batch came from and when it expires.
5. Spending credits
5.1 Available credits are redeemed at checkout when you book your next trip. They’re deducted from the total booking value.
5.2 Available credits are applied automatically at checkout — you’ll see them already switched on. Rather save them for a bigger trip? Just switch the toggle off before you confirm. If your balance is more than the booking can absorb, we apply what the trip total allows — whatever’s left keeps its original expiry date and stays in your account for next time.
5.3 Credits can be combined with other discounts.
5.4 Credits can only be applied during the booking process. They can’t be applied after booking — not toward a second payment, and not against an invoice.
5.5 Credits can be spent on trips with a total booking value over $1,000.
6. Cancellations
6.1 If a booking that earned you credits is canceled, those credits are canceled with it.
6.2 If you spent credits on a booking that gets canceled, we put them back:
If 57hours or the guide cancels, your credits are reissued with a fresh expiry date.
If you cancel, your credits are reissued with their original expiry date.
7. Expiry
7.1 Credits expire one year after the end date of the trip that earned them. Your profile shows the expiry date for every batch of available credits, so you’ll always know what’s expiring and when.
7.2 Referral credits expire one year after the end date of the referred trip.
8. The practical stuff
8.1 Your Adventure Credits balance is visible in your account at any time. If something looks off, reach out to our support team and we’ll sort it out. If credits are ever issued in error we may correct the balance, and we’ll tell you when we do.
8.2 We may change these Adventure Credits Terms and Conditions at any time, with or without notice — including the rules for earning and spending credits. Any changes will be reflected in an updated version of these Terms and Conditions, so this page is always the current word.
8.3 If we ever wind down the program, we’ll honor all pending and available credits you’ve already earned.
8.4 By earning or spending Adventure Credits, you’re accepting these terms and any updates to them.
