The only currency until fall 2014, Credits are a fundamental element of Asphalt 8, being the only way to purchase in-game objects without having to spend real money. Credits can be won by finishing races, winning [[Events|Time-Limited Events]], or purchasing credit packs. There are six different credit packs, ranging from $1.99 to $99.99. Credits earned at the end of races can also be increased by the [[Double Credits]] item, and with a [[Daily Bonus]]. The best way to earn money is to complete mastery with as many cars as possible, upgrading that car, and others, as you go (due to the reward for finishing the race in first being anywhere from +1,500 to around 25,000 credits per reward without the race winnings).{{Stub}}

Credit packs are an in-app purchase that provides the player a set amount of credits in exchange for real money. While the price for a pack increases for a bigger payout, the larger packs are overall of more value as the player gains a larger amount for a reduced money &rarr; credits cost ratio. With the [[Rio Update]], each credit pack will also award the player with VIP points for the [[VIP System|VIP system]]. <ref>The price for each pack is not listed as it will vary with each country & currency</ref>

== Transferability with Tokens ==
  +
There is no official conversion rate between credits and tokens in ''Asphalt 8: Airborne''. It is thus unknown what the relationship between tokens and credits are. However, it can be estimated that a token is worth 138 credits on average. This estimate is extremely rough as the amount of in-game tokens received for an equivalent value of credits depends largely on what you purchased.

Credit Packs

Credit packs are an in-app purchase that provides the player a set amount of credits in exchange for real money. While the price for a pack increases for a bigger payout, the larger packs are overall of more value as the player gains a larger amount for a reduced money → credits cost ratio. With the Rio Update, each credit pack will also award the player with VIP points for the VIP system. [1]

  1. Rookie Credit Pack: Credits 30,000 & 200 VIP points
  2. Drive Credit Pack: Credits 80,000 & 500 VIP points
  3. Pilot Credit Pack: Credits 175,000 & 1,000 VIP points
  4. Pro Credit Pack: Credits 420,000 & 2,000 VIP points

  6. Master Credit Pack: Credits 3,000,000 & 10,000 VIP points.

Transferability with Tokens

There is no official conversion rate between credits and tokens in Asphalt 8: Airborne. It is thus unknown what the relationship between tokens and credits are. However, it can be estimated that a token is worth 138 credits on average. This estimate is extremely rough as the amount of in-game tokens received for an equivalent value of credits depends largely on what you purchased.
