Credits are the most commonly used currency in the Asphalt series, replacing the Dollars used in Asphalt 7: Heat and being replaced once again by Cash (measured in Dollars) in Asphalt Street Storm Racing.
The only currency in the game until the inclusion of Tokens in the Winter Update, Credits are the primary way to purchase in-game objects without having to spend real money since Tokens are much harder to obtain. Credits can be won by finishing races, winning Time-Limited Events, completing vehicle collections or purchasing credit packs. Credits earned at the end of races can also be increased by the Double Credits booster, completing Bonus Star Requirements and the Daily Bonus multiplier.

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 de Janeiro Update, each credit pack will also award the player with VIP points for the VIP system.
A Credits Pass Subscription was available in June 2019 and gave a total of 6,000,000, double the amount of a Master Credit Pack for the price of a Pro Credit Pack. The player has to log-in to the game every day for a consecutive 15 times with each log-in awarding 400,000.
- Rookie Credit Pack: 30,000 & 200 VIP points
- Driver Credit Pack: 85,000 & 500 VIP points
- Pilot Credit Pack: 187,500 & 1,000 VIP points
- Pro Credit Pack: 425,000 & 2,000 VIP points
- Champion Credit Pack: 1,212,500 & 5,000 VIP points
- Master Credit Pack: 3,000,000 & 10,000 VIP points
Anniversary Coins
Available only during the 5th Anniversary and Halloween Festival event, Festival Coins can only be purchased as part of any Credits or Tokens pack.
- Rookie Credit Pack: 150 Coins
- Driver Credit Pack: 350 Coins
- Pilot Credit Pack: 675 Coins
- Pro Credit Pack: 1,200 Coins
- Champion Credit Pack: 2,625 Coins
- Master Credit Pack: 3,750 Coins
Transferability with Tokens
There is no official conversion rate between credits and tokens in Asphalt 8: Airborne. A token is worth 138 on average and at the most, 341. This is only an estimate as the number of in-game tokens received for an equivalent value of credits depends largely on what you purchased.
In general, the lower the credit/token ratio of the car price is, the more economical it would be to purchase the car with credits instead of tokens. Due to the scarcity and high value of tokens to most players, it is usually a better choice to purchase the item with credits and save the tokens for other uses.

Rookie Credit Pack / Handful of Tokens | US$1.99 | 30,000 200 150 Credits per Token |

Note: Car Mastery is unusable as of the Fast Lane Update which prevented Mastery races from being replayed when completed. The following list shows the 20 cars that were most efficient for Mastery grinding prior to said update
While racing with boosters (Nitro Starter & Tuning Kit) will reduce the race duration, it is more detrimental than going un-boosted as the additional cost for 1 hour of usage will outweigh the increased profit for an overall loss in credit accumulation (assuming that the boosters were not purchased through Exclusive Deals, earned via Time Limited Events, completing Collections or Car Mastery).[1]
Prior to March 23, 2018, the Lamborghini Veneno could be used as the first stepping stone in credits grinding as it only cost 861,774 to buy and MAX PRO and does not require Engine Cards in its Pro Kits.
While the 2015 GTA Spano has comparable profitability to the cars mentioned above, it is rendered impractical with its paywall restriction and Elite Car status with tune-ups for it taking 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete.
As previously mentioned, completing certain Collections in the game will award the player with a credit reward. Listed below are all of the collections with a credit reward.
