Spending SkyCredits: Requesting Loads
The cost of a load request depends on how urgently you need the information. The standard cost is 200 SkyCredits.
Priority System
You can increase the priority of your request by adding a bonus. The more SkyCredits you offer, the more attractive your request becomes to verified employees, leading to faster answers.
Earning Logic: Answering Loads
When you answer a request, the amount of SkyCredits you earn depends on several factors:
Request Priority
The total amount the requester paid (Base + Bonus).
Demand
How many other users are requesting loads for the same flight.
Your Loyalty Tier
Higher tiers earn bonus credits on top of the base reward.
Time Before Departure
Certain requests can have bonus credits if the departure time is close.
