How to Request a Lead Credit

Understanding credit request guidelines and the steps to request a credit.

Written by Angi

Homeowners create service requests at different stages of their decision-making process. Some are ready to hire, some are comparing multiple pros, and some ultimately decide not to move forward with their project. This is a normal part of the homeowner journey and doesn’t, by itself, make a lead ineligible. However, on rare occasions, a lead doesn’t meet our standards. In those cases, eligible pros can request a credit.

Credits issued to an account are automatically applied toward future lead charges. Please note that credits will expire if not used within six months from the date issued. Angi also may offer credits for exceptional circumstances not listed below.

Note: If you have an annual subscription, you can report leads, but credits are not offered for those leads.


Lead credit request guidelines

After an investigation, Angi may offer a credit for reporting leads for the following reasons:

  • Invalid contact info: The phone number is disconnected, not in service, or does not belong to the homeowner listed.

  • Wrong location: The project location is outside the ZIP codes you have set in your profile.

  • Service mismatch: The project type does not match the specific services or tasks in your profile.

  • Duplicate lead: You were charged twice for the same lead/homeowner within 45 days.

  • Paused leads: You were charged for a lead while your lead flow was paused.


Requirements

The following conditions must be met for Angi to consider whether to issue a credit.

  1. The lead must be less than 45 days old.

  2. You should have attempted to call the homeowner within 24 hours of being sent the lead.

  3. Your account remains in good standing without overdue balances.

  4. You do not have an annual subscription.


For pros with a subscription

While our annual subscriptions do not offer credits for leads, you can contact Customer Care at (877) 947-3639 if you have a concern about a lead and want to speak with our team.


We recognize that not every lead results in a job. We account for these situations while striving to offer competitive lead pricing. The following situations are accounted for in our lead pricing, so they are not eligible for credits:

  1. The homeowner does not answer your calls or return your messages.

  2. The homeowner hired another pro before you reached them.

  3. The homeowner decided not to move forward with the project at this time.

  4. The homeowner is gathering multiple quotes or is in the “shopping phase.”

  5. You provided a quote but did not win the job.
