Hi Alex
"Bonus credits" can be earned by Kiva lenders for stuff like referring friends, and can be allocated toward different loans at the discretion of the lender. The funding for bonus credits comes from partnerships with individuals and organizations who want to lend large amounts through Kiva and rely on individual lenders to select which loans to distribute the funds to. To limit risk for the partners who fund bonus credits, some loans are not eligible for funding via bonus credits. I think the ineligible ones are those with very long loan terms or distributed by field partners with higher risk ratings.
