Can member use point to pay for a different user role?

Hello @betterlikethis2020

Thanks for contacting us.

I hope you are doing well, Please add the following code snippet in your theme’s functions.php file.

Promote Based on Balance.

• Changes a users role based on their myCRED balance.
• @version 1.0.4

add_filter( 'mycred_add_finished', 'check_for_role_change', 99, 3 );
function check_for_role_change( $reply, $request, $mycred ) {
  // Make sure that if any other filter has declined this we also decline
  if ( $reply === false ) return $reply;   // Exclude admins
  if ( user_can( $request['user_id'], 'manage_options' ) ) return $reply;   extract( $request );   // Minimum balance requirement for each role
  $thresholds = array(
  'contributor'   => 100,
  'author'        => 1000,
  'editor'        => 10000,
  'administrator' => 100000
  );
  // Get users current balance
  $current_balance = $mycred->get_users_balance( $user_id, $type );
  $current_balance = $current_balance + $amount;   // Check if the users current balance awards a new role
  $new_role = false;
  foreach ( $thresholds as $role => $min ) {
  if ( $current_balance > $min )
      $new_role = $role;
  }   // Change users role if we have one
  if ( $new_role !== false )
  wp_update_user( array(
      'ID'   => $user_id,
      'role' => $new_role
  ) );
  return $reply;
}
