# Monthly Boost Reward

Once per UTC month, eligible accounts can claim a **400 Spark "Monthly Boost"** — free render credits (Spark Points) for Sogni Supernet generations.

Simply click the **Gift icon** in the toolbar of any Sogni app to see your available rewards and claim the boost. After you claim it, a reminder shows when the next Monthly Boost becomes available.

## [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/rewards/monthly-boost-reward/#eligibility)Eligibility

Two conditions apply:

1.  **A verified payment method on your account.** Free Spark was being farmed at scale by throwaway accounts, so collecting and spending it now requires a payment method we can verify once. This applies to accounts **created in the Sogni web app**; accounts created in the iOS, macOS, Studio Pro, Chat, Restore, Photobooth, or 360 apps are not affected. Either of these unlocks it permanently:
    -   a [3-day free Unlimited trial](https://docs.sogni.ai/pricing/unlimited-plan-details/#3-day-free-trial) — cancel any time, and the Spark you have already earned stays yours; or
    -   any [Premium Spark purchase](https://docs.sogni.ai/pricing/#spark-packs), by card or [crypto](https://docs.sogni.ai/pricing/pay-with-crypto/).
2.  **Less than 800 existing free Spark.** The boost tops up creators who are actually creating rather than stockpiling credits.

Accounts that have already shown a real payment identity are unlocked automatically and never see this requirement, as do accounts created outside the web app: current and past subscribers, anyone who has ever held Premium Spark (including Spark gifted by Sogni), anyone who has run a [worker node](https://docs.sogni.ai/run-a-worker/fast-worker/about-sogni-fast-worker/), and testnet participants.

Verifying a payment method affects free Spark only. **Premium Spark, SOGNI token, and Unlimited plan rendering are never gated by it**, and your free Spark balance is never forfeited — it simply becomes spendable once your account is verified.
