Credits are sold in bulk, with Basic, Classic, and Elite plans: – Basic gets you 100 credits for $59, or $0.59/credit. After youve purchased credits, Ashley Madison will prompt you to automatically “Top Up” your credits each month. In other words, they want you to set up automatic payment when your credits run low.

What is a collect message?

You have the option of sending Collect Messages. This means the receiver can, if he/she chooses to, pay for the message in credits. When a guy sends a Collect Message on Ashley Madison, it makes him come across as a cheapskate. Instead, customers pay for credit, that are used to ship messages and open chat periods.
