Activating a PRO Account Using TakeProfitTrader Credit

Written by Paul

Normally, activating a PRO account costs $130 out-of-pocket. But if you used a promotional code like NOFEE40 or earned credits through TakeProfitTrader's rewards program, you can activate your PRO account for free using credits from your dashboard. The credit shows up automatically in your "wallet" once you pass Test, and the activation process takes 2-3 clicks instead of entering payment info.

This guide covers how TakeProfitTrader credits work, which promotions include PRO activation credits, how to check your credit balance, and the step-by-step process to activate PRO using credits instead of paying $130.

Quick heads-up: This article is based on my real experience with TakeProfitTrader and the info available when I published/updated this. Things change in prop trading — rules, payouts, promos, all of it.

What Are TakeProfitTrader Credits?

TakeProfitTrader credits are account balance stored in your dashboard "wallet." They function like store credit—you can use them to pay for:

Test account subscriptions ($170/month or equivalent)
Test account resets ($100)
PRO account activations ($130)
PRO account resets ($449-$1,499 depending on account size)

Where credits come from:

Promotional codes (NOFEE40, NOFEE30, etc.) that waive the $130 activation fee
Rewards program where you earn points for passing Tests, making withdrawals, or spending on the platform
Referral bonuses if TakeProfitTrader runs an affiliate incentive
Wallet deposits from PRO account withdrawals (though these aren't "credits," they're your actual money)

Promotional Codes That Include PRO Activation Credits

Not all promo codes waive the $130 activation fee. Here's what to look for:

NOFEE40 (Current Promo as of January 2026)

What you get:

40% lifetime discount on Test subscription
$130 PRO activation credit (free activation)

Example:

$50K Test normally costs $170/month → with NOFEE40, you pay $102/month
When you pass, you get $130 credit automatically added to your wallet
Activate PRO using that credit = $0 out-of-pocket

Duration: The credit is valid for life on that account. Even if you violate PRO and reset, the activation credit renews each time you pass Test again.

NOFEE30 (Previous Promo, Sometimes Available)

What you get:

30% lifetime discount on Test subscription
$130 PRO activation credit

How it works: Same as NOFEE40 but with 30% discount instead of 40%.

BUYLOW and Other Discount Codes

What you DON'T get:

BUYLOW typically offers 20-30% off subscriptions but does NOT include PRO activation credits
You still pay the $130 activation fee

Important: Always check the promo code details before purchasing. If it doesn't explicitly say "waived activation fee" or "NOFEE," assume you'll pay $130 when you pass Test.

How to Check Your Credit Balance

Before you pass Test, you won't see the PRO activation credit. It only appears after you successfully complete the Test phase.

Step-by-Step: Viewing Your Credits

Log into your TakeProfitTrader dashboard at takeprofittrader.com
Click your avatar/profile icon in the top-right corner
Select "Wallet" from the dropdown menu
Your wallet page shows:
- Available balance (cash from withdrawals)
- Credits section (promotional credits and rewards points)

What you'll see:

If you used NOFEE40 and passed Test, your credits section will show:

"PRO Activation Credit: $130"

This credit can only be used for PRO account activation—it can't be withdrawn as cash or used for Test subscriptions.

Step-by-Step: Activating PRO Using Credits

Once you pass Test and your PRO account is approved, you'll receive an email notification. Now you can activate.

Activation Process

Step 1: Log into your dashboard

Go to takeprofittrader.com and sign in.

Step 2: Navigate to PRO section

In your dashboard, find the "PRO" section. You'll see your passed Test listed with an "Activate" or "Go to PRO" button.

Step 3: Click "Go to PRO" or "Activate"

This opens the PRO activation page.

Step 4: Choose payment method

You'll see three payment options:

Debit/Credit Card
PayPal
Your Credits ← Select this one

Step 5: Confirm credit application

The system automatically applies your $130 PRO activation credit. You'll see:

"$130 PRO Activation Credit Applied""Amount Due: $0.00"

Step 6: Complete activation

Click "Activate PRO Account" or similar button. No payment processing needed—the credit covers the full cost.

Step 7: Wait for account setup

TakeProfitTrader processes your PRO activation. This typically takes 1-2 business days. You'll receive an email with your PRO account credentials once ready.

What Happens to Your Credit After PRO Activation

If you used the credit: It's gone. The $130 credit was a one-time use for that specific PRO activation.

If you violate PRO and reset: You get the credit back! Promotional codes like NOFEE40 include "lifetime waived activation fees," which means:

You pass Test → activate PRO using credit
You violate PRO → reset for $449 (or whatever reset cost applies)
You pass the reset period → activate PRO using credit again

The $130 credit regenerates every time you pass Test on that account. You never pay out-of-pocket for activation as long as the promo was applied to your original Test purchase.

Common Credit Activation Issues

Issue 1: "I passed Test but don't see the credit"

Cause: Credits appear only after Test approval is finalized (usually 24-48 hours after you hit the profit target).

Fix: Wait for the "Congratulations, you passed!" email. If 48 hours pass with no credit, contact support at support@takeprofittrader.com.

Issue 2: "The credit option isn't showing at checkout"

Cause: You're trying to activate before the credit is loaded into your wallet, or you didn't use a "NOFEE" promo code.

Fix: Check your wallet (avatar → Wallet → Credits). If no credit appears and you definitely used NOFEE40, email support with your order number.

Issue 3: "I accidentally paid $130 instead of using the credit"

Cause: You selected PayPal or card instead of "Your Credits" at checkout.

Fix: Contact support immediately. They can refund the $130 and apply your credit retroactively. Don't wait—request this within 24 hours of activation.

Issue 4: "My credit expired"

Cause: TakeProfitTrader credits don't expire, but if you delete your account or request a full refund, credits are forfeited.

Fix: As long as your account is active, credits remain. If you believe your credit disappeared incorrectly, contact support with proof of your original promo code purchase.

Rewards Program Credits vs Promo Credits

TakeProfitTrader has a separate rewards program where you earn points that convert to credits.

How the Rewards Program Works

Earning points:

Pass a Test: 250 points
Withdraw $1,000 from PRO: 500 points
Spend $1 on the platform: 1 point
Promotional periods: Bonus points (varies)

Redeeming points:

1,000 points = $10 credit
13,000 points = $130 PRO activation credit
10,000 points = $100 Test reset credit

Example:

You pass your first Test (250 points), buy two more Tests at $170 each (340 points), and make $1,000 in withdrawals from PRO (500 points).

Total: 1,090 points → redeem for $10 credit or save up for a PRO activation credit.

Difference from promo credits:

Promo credits (NOFEE40): Automatically applied, can't be withdrawn as cash, specific to PRO activation
Rewards credits: Earned through activity, can be redeemed for various purposes (Test resets, PRO activation, new Test accounts)

Both types show up in your wallet under "Credits," but promo credits are labeled specifically (e.g., "PRO Activation Credit").

Using Wallet Balance vs Credits

Your TakeProfitTrader wallet can hold two types of funds:

Cash balance – Real money from PRO withdrawals that you can withdraw to your bank or use for purchases
Credits – Non-withdrawable promotional or rewards credits

Example Scenario

You withdraw $1,500 from PRO. It goes to your wallet as $1,500 cash balance.

You also have a $130 PRO activation credit from NOFEE40.

Option A: Use your $1,500 cash to activate a second PRO account (if you passed a second Test)

Option B: Use your $130 credit to activate the second PRO, save your $1,500 cash for withdrawal to bank

Smart play: Always use credits before cash. Credits can't be withdrawn, so use them for platform purchases. Cash should be withdrawn to your bank account.

Can You Transfer or Sell Credits?

No. TakeProfitTrader credits are non-transferable and tied to your account. You can't:

Transfer credits to another user
Sell credits for cash
Withdraw credits to PayPal/bank
Trade credits between your own multiple accounts

Each account's credits are isolated. If you have 3 separate TakeProfitTrader accounts (each under different emails/profiles), each account's credits stay with that account.

Credits and Multiple PRO Accounts

You can run up to 5 PRO accounts simultaneously. If you used NOFEE40 on multiple Test accounts, each gets its own $130 PRO activation credit.

Example:

You buy 5 Test accounts using NOFEE40:

Account 1: $50K Test → pass → $130 credit for PRO activation
Account 2: $50K Test → pass → $130 credit for PRO activation
Account 3: $50K Test → pass → $130 credit for PRO activation
Account 4: $50K Test → pass → $130 credit for PRO activation
Account 5: $50K Test → pass → $130 credit for PRO activation

Total credits: $650 (5 x $130)

Each credit applies to its respective PRO account. You can't combine credits from Account 1 and Account 2 to buy something else—each credit is locked to its own activation.

When You Should Pay $130 Instead of Using Credits

Most of the time, using credits is the obvious choice. But there's one scenario where paying cash makes sense:

If you want to preserve wallet balance for emergency Test resets.

Scenario:

You have $200 in wallet cash (from PRO withdrawals) and a $130 PRO activation credit from NOFEE40.

You pass Test and need to activate PRO. You also know you're planning to buy 2 more Test accounts next month.

Option A: Use the $130 credit now, keep your $200 cash for Test purchases later.

Option B: Pay $130 cash for PRO activation, save your credit for a future PRO account.

Best move: Option A. Use the credit now because it's locked to PRO activation anyway. Your $200 cash is flexible—use it for whatever you need later.

The only time you'd pay $130 instead of using credit is if you're deliberately saving the credit for a future account and want to speed up this activation without waiting.

Promo Code Stacking: Can You Combine Discounts?

Short answer: No.

You can't stack multiple promo codes on a single Test purchase. For example:

NOFEE40 (40% off + waived activation) + BUYLOW (20% off) = doesn't work

Pick one code at checkout. The "NOFEE" codes are almost always the best deal because they waive the $130 activation fee, which saves more than an extra 10-20% discount on the Test subscription.

Do the math:

NOFEE40:

$50K Test: $102/month (vs $170 normally)
PRO activation: $0 (vs $130 normally)
Total cost to activate PRO (if you pass in Month 1): $102

BUYLOW (30% off, no activation waiver):

$50K Test: $119/month
PRO activation: $130
Total cost to activate PRO (if you pass in Month 1): $249

NOFEE40 saves you $147 compared to BUYLOW, even though BUYLOW offers a bigger percentage discount on the Test fee.

Bottom Line

TakeProfitTrader PRO activation normally costs $130, but promotional codes like NOFEE40 provide a $130 credit that waives this fee entirely. The credit appears in your wallet automatically once you pass Test, and you select "Your Credits" as the payment method during PRO activation. The credit is reusable for life on that account—even if you violate and reset PRO multiple times, the $130 activation credit regenerates each time you pass. Credits are non-transferable, non-withdrawable, and locked to their specific purpose (PRO activation credits can only activate PRO accounts). Always use credits before spending wallet cash, as credits can't be converted to real money.

The rewards program offers a separate way to earn credits through points (250 points for passing Test, 500 for $1K withdrawal), but promo code credits are faster and don't require accumulating points.
