MeetMe does not call them coins. Its virtual currency is called Credits, and you buy them inside the app. The MeetMe listing in the Apple App Store sells Credits as in-app purchases in packs of different sizes, and MeetMe's terms say you can purchase or otherwise obtain Credits from MeetMe. Buy them only in the official app, never from a stranger who offers a cheaper deal. The terms describe Credits as a limited, non-transferable right to use in-app features. On a dating app, a man who wants matches and replies to his messages will find that Credits do little for either.

What MeetMe calls them

If you searched for coins, the word you want is Credits. MeetMe's help center describes them as used to buy gifts for streamers in MeetMe Live, or to send gifts in chats to increase your visibility in another user's messages.

That second use is the one that matters if you are there to date, so it is worth reading slowly. A gift in a chat is meant to raise your visibility in her messages. It is a paid attempt to be noticed, and it shows up in a woman's inbox next to men who sent a plain, well-written line for free.

Where to buy

Credits are an in-app purchase. In the App Store listing, they come in packs of different sizes. MeetMe's terms say you can purchase or otherwise obtain Credits from MeetMe, and that word "otherwise" matters: it means the app is the source, whether you pay or earn them some other way MeetMe offers.

Prices and pack sizes change, so look at the screen in your own app at the moment you buy. An article cannot tell you a price you can rely on, and none is given here.

What the terms say about Credits

MeetMe's terms describe Credits as a limited, non-transferable right to activate in-app features such as virtual gifts. In plain English, they are not money. You cannot hand them to a friend, you cannot cash them out, and they only work inside MeetMe.

A virtual gift, in the terms, is a live animation that you can trigger in a streamer's stream within the Live network using Credits. So the main home of Credits is the video side of the app.

If something goes wrong

For problems with Credits, MeetMe's help center says to email support@meetme.com. For a refund of unspent Credits, MeetMe says to contact the same address with the date of purchase, your payment method and receipt, and the transaction ID.

Keep the receipt the moment you buy. A man who has the date, the receipt and the transaction ID in one email gets a faster answer than one who writes "I was charged and want my money back."

Should a man who wants dates buy them

Mostly no, and the reason is about results, not about money. a dating coach's rule for any app is to treat it as a test and count what comes back: conversations started, replies, plans made. A gift does not appear on any of those lines.

What makes a woman answer a message is something specific she can respond to. A first line that names one thing on her page and asks an easy question does more than an animation. My own view of online dating is that photos and the first message decide most outcomes, and neither of those costs Credits.

There is a safety angle too. If someone you have only chatted with asks you to send gifts or buy Credits, stop. A woman who wants to meet you does not need you to spend first. Treat the request as the end of that conversation and use the report and block tools.

The one case where it makes sense

If you enjoy MeetMe Live and want to tip a streamer you like, buying a small pack is a harmless hobby. Set the amount before you open the store, buy once, and do not top up because a stream made it feel urgent.

If you are there to meet women, keep your card out of it until you have run the free version for a couple of weeks and can say what you are paying to change. Use that time to fix the page women see first, send better opening lines, and move good chats toward a call. If you would rather have someone build all of that for you, a service can set up and run your online dating, with hand-checked photos and messages written for you.
