What are Crystals?
Crystals are awarded to eligible Creators that engage in payment-eligible activities on Snapchat. After receiving Crystals, you can cash them out for money in the Crystals Hub in My Profile! Additionally, all award history and activity can all be viewed in the Crystals Hub. To open the Crystals Hub, navigate to your Profile and scroll down to ‘My Snap Crystals.’
If you are eligible to receive Snap Crystals from a Spotlight Submission or are an eligible Snap Star (with or without a pending Crystals Award), you will receive a push notification and will be notified in My Profile. Tap on the push notification or navigate to My Profile and tap ‘My Snap Crystals’ to open the Crystals Hub.
When you receive an Award, it will be displayed in the ‘All Activity’ section of the Crystals Hub as ‘Pending.’ Crystals take 14 days from the time of appearance in the ‘All Activity’ section of the Crystals Hub to move from ‘Pending’ to ‘Available,’ at which time they will become available for cashing out.
Pro Tip 💡 Make sure you have push notifications enabled for Snapchat so you don’t miss any award notifications!

They are not intended to confer or imply any rights or represent any obligation; do not constitute property; are not transferable or assignable; and may not be purchased or the subject of a sale, barter, or exchange.
