Three rules
- One-time actions never pay twice. Unfollow and follow again, or rerank, and nothing more is paid.
- Points arrive within minutes. A verified visit can take up to 10 minutes while the payment is confirmed.
- Challenges and badges pay when you tap Claim on the Rewards screen, not before.
Toward your level
Points from verified visits count in full toward your level. Points from everything else count at 25%, so activity helps you climb but visits reach the top. See Levels.
