It uses the Virtuemart Reward Points as user points manager. Credit points extension builds a professional credit points system in joomla 1.7/2.5 and VM2.x. It is compatible with alpha user points (and so with jomSocial points).
The extension lets you to buy credits points with Virtuemart regolar payment methods (paypal, credit cards, neteller, autorize.net...) and pay with points the products sold in your store - hiding other payment methods expect for credit points when purchasing "regular" products. Think to fotolia, or istockphoto!
You have only to publish a "buy credit points" regular virtuemart products - that uses "credit points" custom field of Virtuemart Reward Points extension. All regular products without this custom fields will be purchasing only with credits, while the "credit produt" is purchasing only with the other "regular" payment methods you builded.
Customers can earn other credits by using rules set on the Virtuemart Reward Points (or Alpha User Points, optional) so the credits can also earn reward points!
Just one ecommerce manager (Virtuemart). Just one cart (the Virtuemart one) to purchase both, credits and products, and an intelligent "auto-switching" payment methods.
Being a part of VIrtuemart Reward Points Extension, it is compatible with AlphaUserPoints and alpha points.

This is my second extension from anteprimasas. I purchased their reward points for virtuemart, then I asked them how to setup a credit system like fotolia and they developed this one! It is different from a pay with points payment, it splits the webstore in two parts: 'special' products to buy credits and products to be purchased with credits - using the same virtuemart cart and the same virtuemart payment system. I sell social music libraries, users upload their music and customers purchase with credits - and they can purchase credits from stocks of 50 credits each time. This is quite usual when you sell services, images, mp3s, videos, even coupons. This extension seems to be perfect for that.
I am the first to review? Well, five stars for this extension. I just didn't believe! Being a customer of them and having a chip of 3 to buy, I purchased, installed and ..when I see just my payment methods except for points available to buy credits and just credits to purchase the images of my store I realize I have the same system of istock photo: just some settings to do and it's ready. They are the master of points!!!!
