Earning More Referral Points At Checkpoints!

Checkpoints made an announcement yesterday on their Facebook page:

When you refer somebody to the Checkpoints app, and they sign up and include your username as a referral, you'll earn 10 points first, then you'll earn all the points they earn for the next two weeks (excluding game points, their referral points, or registration points).

(My Checkpoints username is cheekyang.)

To update my earlier post on earning points at Checkpoints:


  • Scan At Home is no longer available.
  • You can do any of the "cheats" I listed, but when you try to cash in your points for a reward, you'll get a warning that you violated their terms of service. If it's a repeat offense, you may be banned from the app.
  • You can't post your Checkpoints username on app stores - it'll get you banned. 
  • You can post your Checkpoints username everywhere else though - social media, blogs, email, etc.
  • You can still do surveys to earn points - honestly, though, I found them more cumbersome than they're worth. Many of them ask pre-qualifying questions, and some of the pre-qualifying questions are as long as the surveys themselves. If you don't qualify for the survey, you aren't eligible for points. 
  • You can still earn points via the Checkpoints toolbar. It's currently only available on IE6 and Firefox.
