How does the point we get on viewpoints work, do we redeem at a certain time or what?

I can see that we accrue points. What can we do with them?

I'm not sure Toluwa but I'd like to trade them for some coffee-flavored ice cream after the summer we've had...ugh.   I'd trade all mine in for a 75-degree day ;)

the points you earn are towards badges.

Points are currently only used to gain badges and status on the site.  There is currently no compensation associated with points.  Earning points is mostly just for ego-boost right now.

Wouldn't it be nice if we can use points for sweepstakes or perhaps for things like donated homemade crafts???? Just a thought!

The points can't be used for anything other than to earn a higher status on the site. They aren't redeemable for gift cards, cash, samples, or anything else.

I think it would be nice to get a $5 gift card or something similar when one reaches VIP status. It isn't much but it's a little pat on the back - aside from having the badge which is also a fun thing to have. 

Or maybe a Viewpoints T-Shirt. One that says Viewpoints VIP and the site address on the back. Free advertising and a nice little gift. (Can you tell I used to work for an ad agency for a year? We brainstormed ways to get the word out without people realizing they were being advertised to. lol.)

Actually, I think Viewpoints has been pretty kind to me and probably many others. I'm not saying that we're showered with gifts, but I've received free items to review, discounts at restaurants, Amazon gift cards, a terrific sweepstakes award and some other nice things. If you're one of the higher-producing members on the site, you will be recognized by Viewpoints in more ways than just points. And all you have to do to get there is write good reviews and be a valuable member of the community.

Although your points might not directly get you cash, showing Viewpoints that you are a valuable member will be acknowledged in more ways than just points and badges. Hang on and keep plugging away!
