How to view your Nexcess account billing invoices
Account credit is a balance on your Nexcess account that you may have received or earned in a couple of different ways. For example, you might have redeemed a promo code or earned credit via our affiliate program. The account credit is internal to Nexcess and is not something you can add to or re-load. This credit is only usable for paying your invoice online at Nexcess and is non-transferable.
You will be able to see if you have an account credit right on your homepage when you log in:
You can also go to Billing > Credits to see your account credit. Or you can click on the arrow in the upper right corner of the Credits box on your account home page to see your credit details.
If you have credits, they will be shown on the Credits screen:
Here you can also redeem any promo codes you have.
