You can manually redeem available rewards on behalf of an Advocate participant, or cancel unredeemed rewards.
Rewards are stored at the account level. This means that if there are multiple participants in the same account, they will share a pool of rewards. Redeeming or canceling a reward from one participant in a shared account's profile will apply to the balance for everyone in the account.
Rewards in a participant's account can be marked as redeemed through the impact.com platform, through Bulk Reward Redemption, and through the REST API. Marking a reward as redeemed indicates to impact.com that the reward has been fulfilled and should no longer be part of the account's available reward balance.

Rewards are usually shown as pending only when a pending period was set up during reward configuration. Rewards subject to a pending period automatically become available when the pending period is over.
For clients using our W-9 Compliance feature, rewards may also be put in a pending state due to their tax implications. Rewards that are pending because of W-9 compliance are only made available after the participant is marked as having submitted a W-9 tax form.
