Yandex Direct bonus program
The Yandex Direct bonus program lets clients from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus get back part of their advertising expenses as bonuses. 1 bonus is equal to RUB 1 (BYN 1 and KZT 1).
Check the bonus program page to find out which promos earn bonuses.
Bonuses can only be used for placing ads in Yandex Direct. Use them to pay for any type of advertising campaign in your account.
How to activate bonuses
You can activate bonuses within three months of getting them. Bonuses earned before March 1, 2023, should be activated by May 31, 2023.
Accumulated bonuses are credited to the account automatically if the balance is positive. This occurs every month before the 10th day.
Bonuses won't be activated when you pay an invoice with a deferred payment option. This must be a prepaid invoice or you can use your line of credit. To activate bonuses, issue and pay an invoice: at least ₽300 (BYN 30 and KZT 5000) without VAT.
The maximum number of bonuses that can be credited to the account automatically is calculated by the formula 9999 × Account balance. For example, if an account has 100 rubles left, no more than 999,900 bonuses can be credited automatically.
However, an account can't be credited more than RUB 3,000,000 (250,000 BYN or 50,000,000 KZT) at once. If you've earned more bonuses, then issue and pay an invoice for the remaining bonus amount, but no more than RUB 3,000,000.
