Fair and Transparent Pricing
Our credit system is designed to be fair to everyone. Here's how it works in different scenarios.

- Curbster:Gains 5 credits.
Rationale:

- Curbster:Gains 8 credit.
Rationale:
Encourages Curbers to cancel unused spots promptly and rewards Curbsters minimally for reserving space.
