What is Facebook Credits

Facebook credits is a virtual currency that can be used to purchase items and other services in facebook applications, whether games like FarmVille or other social applications. This facebook currency was in beta for much of 2010, which means a select few users and games were testing it, and a public announcement about the currency was made only in January 2010. Facebook plans that by the end of July, 2011, every Facebook application and game should support facebook credits.

Are Facebook Credits Free?

Unfortunately, No. It has been announced that you can get 10 facebook credits for one US Dollar. It would be easier to think of Facebook Credits as nothing more than Dollars or real money. This means that whenever you find someone who say they have some "free Facebook Credits" for you, they are practically offering you Dollars. How likely is that?

In any case if there are some genuine methods or promotions that offer free Facebook Credits, they will definitely be reviewed on this blog. I just think that they would be few and far between!

Other than reviewing such promotions, I will also review how you can get the maximum out of your Facebook Credits - because they are just like any currency, and Facebook just like any market place, just like any marketplace there are better deals being offered at one place or another.
