A free scene token is a “voucher” for a scene of any listed price on our site, that you do not pay for right now – or possibly did not pay for at all!
Free scene tokens may have an expiry date, after which they cannot be used.
Spending free scene tokens
When purchasing a scene using our Pay Per Scene system, if you have an unexpired free-scene token, you can choose to use it instead of your PPS Credit or PPS Direct account.
There are several ways to get a free scene token.
A free gift 😃
From time to time, we give away free scene tokens, just to say thanks for being a customer! You’ll be notified in an email, and your PPS account will show a free scene token available for you to use in the next 7 days.
Upgrading to 2FA for Pay Per Scene
To encourage our customers to keep their billing details more secure, we give a free scene token the first time a Pay Per Scene customer upgrades to two-factor authentication. More info on why and how to make this change.
This free scene token is not time-limited.
Using PPS Direct system the first time
See What are the three ways to buy? for context.
When joining up with a PPS-Direct account (where we bill your card directly for the price of each scene), we charge your card US$4.49 to ensure the card details you provided work correctly (to ensure future purchases work smoothly).
When creating a PPS-D account, you have not selected a scene you want to purchase yet, so you you’re assigned a scene token, that you can choose to exchange for a scene of your choosing.
Subsequent PPS-Direct purchases will charge your card for the nominated amount.

A reward for helpful bug reporting or assistance in organising the site better
