While there is nothing native that would support this, you could easily have an article that lays out a program of thresholds and reward items based on those thresholds versus a model where people exchange points for rewards as a short-term option.

I love the approach Reddit has for this where points are used towards things that level up your community capabilities and have also seen implementations of third-party rewards tools and platforms to manage things like this.

Hi @Scott Baldwin 

Thanks for the response! That sounds like a great idea. Would you consider then a pinned topic that has an outline of all reward tiers and items that can be achieved per point total? Is there a way for users to view how many points they have in their account?

I would love to hear more about these things that level up your community capabilities as well as can you tell me some of these implementations of third-party rewards tools and platforms to manage things like this.

Thanks!

Either a pinned topic or you could feature that in the sidebar using the featured_side moderator tag or even make it a featured topic on your homepage. The leaderboard does show a list of points stack ranked but the profile does not display how many points they have.

As for tools that have been used in communities for rewards:

• I know Atlassian uses https://www.biworldwide.com/about-us/about-bunchball/ to manage rewards for their Ambassador program - maybe something like that could be used standalone and you could use the API to grab the number of points earned
• There are lots of rewards tools in market as well like https://www.rybbon.net/ and https://www.tremendous.com/ that also have API endpoints and ways to build and manage rewards programs.

I actually spoke to a Community Manager earlier this week who is planning to use this service for incentives on his community: https://www.tangocard.com/

Thanks for the ideas and responses @Scott Baldwin and @Julian !

Would love to know your thoughts on implementing something like this native to Insided and the benefits it could have. Currently have been looking into Sendoso as a reward system as well.

Having trouble exporting total data of our community and their members’ points onto a spreadsheet and viewing all users as opposed to top 1000 in leaderboard and manual input. Would love some assistance on that. Thanks!

I’d suggest adding it as an idea @alex.hong -- that’s the path to getting it on the community’s and product’s radar at inSided. I’m sure some others would have similar needs.
