# How to redeem

> Browse the rewards catalog, check your points balance, place an order, top up any shortfall with a card, and track every redemption in your order history.

Every time you're recognised, you earn points that have real monetary value. The Empuls rewards catalog spans over a dozen categories (digital gift cards, physical merchandise, travel, experiences, charitable donations, and more) and is available across 100+ countries. This guide takes you from checking your balance through completing a redemption and tracking your order.

You can see your available points in two places:

* **Dashboard** — Your balance appears on the right side of the home screen under **My Points**.
* **Shop** — When you open the Shop from the left navigation, your balance is displayed at the top of the page.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the redemption">
    * If your points cover the full order, click **Redeem Points** to confirm.
    * If your balance is insufficient, you'll be offered a **partial payment** option — your points cover what they can, and you pay the remaining balance by credit card. The payment process is handled by **Stripe** and is **PCI compliant**.

    Once the transaction is processed, you'll receive an order confirmation. For digital gift cards, the voucher code is sent to your registered email address instantly.

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Digital gift cards are delivered instantly to your registered email. Physical merchandise typically takes **3–15 business days** depending on your location and the item.
</Note>

<Tip>
  If you have points from multiple award programs or wallets, they can be combined at checkout to cover a single order.
</Tip>

  <Step title="Open the account statement">
    Click your **profile image** and select **Account Statement** from the dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read your transactions">
    Each row shows a **Date**, **Description**, **Debit** (points spent), **Credit** (points received), and **Closing Balance** after that transaction.

    * A value in the **Credit** column means points were added — from recognition, awards, or admin adjustments.
    * A value in the **Debit** column means points were deducted — from giving recognition to others or from a redemption.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Your closing balance updates after every transaction and reflects your real-time available points at that moment.
</Info>

**Example transactions**

| Date | Description | Debit | Credit | Closing Balance |
| :- | :- | :- | :- | :- |
| 01 Mar 2026 | Recognition received from Anushree | — | 100 | 350 |
