redemptions
Acts of saving
Redemptions is the plural of redemption, the act of recovering or regaining something through payment or effort.
In finance, redemptions are conversions of investments back to cash: The fund saw heavy redemptions after the scandal.
In retail, redemptions are exchanges of coupons, points, or vouchers for goods: Coupon redemptions exceeded expectations.
The word carries its broader sense of deliverance or salvation when describing multiple instances of rescue from sin, error, or hardship.
