What ad credit buys
Your credit spends at Cubbie’s published rate card. Every placement puts your product on a surface where buyers are actively shortlisting software.
Your product in the featured band on Cubbie's homepage.
Ranked placement at the top of your category and its directory pages.
Priority slot on search results for your category's queries.
Your offer pinned high on /deals and the homepage deals rail.
A featured slot in the buyer newsletter.
Example: with the $1,500 Spotlight balance, an analytics vendor books a homepage feature week ($750), a month of sponsored placement in their category ($500), and a month of Deals Marketplace priority ($250) — a full month of compounding visibility, unlocked for $900.

Questions, answered
What does ad credit buy?
Placements across Cubbie, at the published rate card on this page: the homepage feature band, sponsored placement at the top of your category, sponsored search slots, Deals Marketplace priority, and the buyer newsletter. Your credit balance covers whatever mix you choose.
How is this different from paying for a listing?
You are not buying a badge — you are buying advertising, the way sponsored placement works on any major marketplace. And the offer is stacked in your favor: you receive more credit than you pay, so $900 buys $1,500 of placements at rate card.
Where do the placements send buyers?
To your product's Cubbie profile, with your deal and proof front and center. Buyers arrive on a page built to convert — comparison-ready, with direct purchasing and your offer attached.
Who books the placements?
We do it with you. After payment, your credit lands and we send a placement plan for your review — which surfaces, which weeks, in what order. You approve it, we schedule it, and your placements go live within about 5 business days.
How do I know what ran?
Your order tracks every placement booked against your balance: credit spent, impressions, and clicks, updated as placements run. At the end you get a wrap report with the full performance picture.
What if we have several products?
A Spotlight order promotes one product. Tell us which one in the notes when you claim, or we will confirm it with you in the placement plan. You can run another Spotlight for a second product after the first completes.
Do credits expire?
Credit is valid for 12 months from the day it lands. If we cannot schedule a placement you booked, that credit goes straight back to your balance — and if you finish with credit unbooked, we refund the unspent share of what you paid.
When does the homepage feature run?
Claim by August 15, 2026 and your homepage feature week is locked in as a bonus — it does not consume your credit. We schedule the exact week with you after payment, usually alongside your other placements so the push compounds.
Spotlight is available to vendors with a claimed product on Cubbie — if you have not claimed yours yet, start at For vendors. One active Spotlight order per vendor. Placement prices reflect Cubbie’s standard rate card; placements are scheduled subject to availability and Cubbie’s content standards. Ad credit has no cash value outside the program and is valid for 12 months. Offers, rates, and the launch-window bonus are subject to change for new claims; claimed orders keep the terms they were claimed with.
