Debits an arbitrary amount from a participant’s AVAILABLE balance for a given asset. This is a raw redemption, meaning it is not tied to any catalog item. You must provide program_id, asset_id, amount, and a description explaining the redemption. The call fails if the participant’s AVAILABLE balance is insufficient to cover the requested amount. On success, the debited amount is credited to the program’s configured redemption target account (default: SYSTEM_REDEMPTION). Use this endpoint for custom redemption flows that fall outside the reward catalog, such as pay-with-points at checkout or ad-hoc deductions.
For usage patterns and examples, see the Redemptions guide.
