italki Coupon Codes

Saving Guide

Because italki Credits are non-refundable once purchased, and the platform's cancellation rules hinge on specific timing windows, understanding both matters more here than a typical one-time purchase.

Buying Credits close to when they'll actually be used

Since purchases are final and only convert back to wallet credit under specific circumstances like a canceled or declined lesson, buying a Credits bundle sized to near-term lesson plans, rather than a large amount far in advance, reduces the risk of credits sitting unused.

Canceling lessons with more than 24 hours' notice

Because a cancellation inside that 24-hour window can't be changed or refunded, adjusting a lesson schedule as early as possible when plans shift protects those credits from being forfeited to a missed session.

Logging in periodically to keep Credits active

Since Credits expire after 12 months of account inactivity, logging in occasionally, even without booking a new lesson right away, is a simple way to protect a Credits balance from expiring unused.

Understanding package termination math before committing

Because ending a multi-lesson Package recalculates completed lessons at a less favorable single-lesson rate if the student is the one stopping, thinking through whether a smaller number of individual lessons might suit changing circumstances better than a large discounted Package upfront.

Using the Lesson Incomplete window promptly

Since that option is only available for 72 hours after a lesson, flagging a genuine problem with a session right away, rather than waiting, keeps the option open to resolve it through the platform's dispute process.

Before you check out

Buy a Credits amount sized to your near-term lesson plans rather than a large advance purchase, cancel any lesson more than 24 hours ahead if your schedule changes, and log in periodically to keep an existing Credits balance from expiring.
