Hi Roshanak, it means you get praise to someone for something you have done. For example, "I got some credit for being part of the project team." Another example: "He got credit for doing a good job."

To "get credit for" usually refers to someone, or something, being recognized, praised, or awarded for something they did. Some examples: "The best player usually gets credit for their team's victory" <- This expresses that the best player on the team usually is recognized and given praise whenever their team wins "I didn't get credit for my answer on the test" <- This expresses that the person did not get awarded any points on the test for an answer they gave.
