The core transaction

Membership is a $1.00 USD one-time activation with one full-send message credit. That included credit is closed-loop, nontransferable, and nonwithdrawable. Each message costs $1.20 USD per message: a $1.00 message stake plus a $0.20 nonrefundable handling fee. If the recipient replies within 72 hours, they earn the dollar. If they pass or time runs out, the dollar returns to the sender as nonwithdrawable Buckd message credit.
