What are SpotMe® Boosts?

Boosts are a way for Chime members to help each other by temporarily increasing their SpotMe limits. When you send a Boost to another Chime member, you add $5 to their SpotMe limit, which expires at 11:59 pm on the last day of that month. Boosts are short-term, expire monthly, and reset at the beginning of each new month.

How Boosts work for Chime+ status:

    • You can give and get up to four (4) Boosts every month (each Boost adds $5 to SpotMe, for a total of up to $20 in extra coverage).
    • You can only send one Boost to the same friend in a month. 
    • Your Boost count resets to four on the first of every month.

How Boosts work for Chime members:

    • You can send or receive one (1) Boost per month ($5 of SpotMe coverage).
    • You must receive a Boost from another Chime member first and then enroll to activate SpotMe.
    • When your Boosts expire at the end of the month, you’ll need to re-enroll in SpotMe each month to keep using SpotMe Boosts.
