How to Fix Instagram Bonuses Not Showing
Does the Instagram Bonuses section of your settings not appear to be working?
You are able to make money on Instagram by participating in Instagram Bonuses, more specifically the Reels Play bonus programme.
If you are eligible to receive a bonus, you will receive a notification on the app.
In order to participate in the programme, you will need to fulfil a number of prerequisites and acknowledge that you will abide by its guidelines.
Users are left uncertain as to whether or not they meet the prerequisites for the programme because Instagram does not state these requirements in a clear and concise manner.
In this tutorial, you’ll find out why the Instagram bonuses you’ve earned aren’t working or showing (the Reels Play bonus), as well as how to fix the problem.
Why are Instagram bonuses not working?
Your Instagram account is not qualified to receive bonuses either because they are not yet available in your country or because you have not upgraded to a professional account.
In the meantime, the Reels Play bonus programme is being evaluated in both the United States and India. You won’t be able to sign up for it if you are currently residing in a country other than the United States or India.
On the other hand, if you are a resident of either the United States or India and you still do not have access to Instagram bonuses, this indicates that you have not yet fulfilled all of the necessary requirements.
Instagram, unfortunately, does not make the requirements for participating in the programme very clear. However, they did say that it is a programme that can only be accessed through invitation, and that users must have fewer than one million followers in order to be eligible for it.
If you are unable to access the Reels Play bonus programme despite the fact that a large number of people have viewed your Reels, this indicates that you have not yet been invited to participate in it.
How to fix Instagram bonuses not showing
You will need to upgrade to a business or creator account in order for Instagram bonuses to display properly again.
In any other case, you will have to keep posting Reels until you are invited to participate in the Reels Play bonus programme or wait until it is made available in your country.
Fix 1: Switch to a business or creator account
- Open Instagram and go to your profile.
- Tap on the menu icon.
- Select Settings > Account.
- Select “Switch to professional account”.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to switch to a business/creator account.
Fix 2: Post more Reels until you get invited
- The Reels Play bonus program is an invite-only program that’s being tested in the US and India.
- Instagram did not specify the requirements for the program except for having less than 1 million followers.
- Keep posting Reels every day until you get invited.
- If you get invited, you’ll be notified on the app to onboard and enable bonus payouts.
- You need to complete the onboarding process before it expires.
Fix 3: Wait until the Reels Play bonus is available in your country
- The Reels Play bonus program is currently being tested in the US and India.
- If you’re living outside of the US and India, you need to wait until the program is available in your country.
- If you have questions or issues regarding Instagram bonuses, you can request support on the app (profile > menu > settings > help)
