To start earning points you must log in to your Hobbylinc.com account. If you do not have a account you must create one.

• Current Exchange Rate : 1,000 Points => $1.00 (subject to change at any time)

Points are awarded in several ways. You can earn by purchasing items and providing quality content that will help others. You can earn points by:

• Creating an Account will earn you points. (plus you need an account to earn points)

• Purchasing Items - almost every item purchased will earn points. The amount of points earned are listed on each products page. The total points for your order will be displayed during order check out. The more you purchase the more points you earn. Reward Points are earned when your order ships.

• Reviewing a Product - Share your opinion of a product with others. Your insightful review might help someone decide which product to choose. All reviews must be approved by Hobbylinc.com before points are awarded. Most reviews will be eligible for points. The points can vary depending on the quality of the review. Quality of the review is subject to Hobbylinc.com and is not negotiable. We are looking for quality content that will add to the users understanding of that product. (I.E. A two word review of "Good Product" will not earn points)

• Uploading a Picture - Share your pictures of an item. Manufacturer pictures are nice, but it's great to see what individuals have built. This gives you a better understanding how the item will actually look. Reward Points are given for up to five pictures uploaded for each product. You will earn more points for the first picture of each product uploaded. Each additional picture uploaded for the same product will earn a reduced amount of points up to five. Identical pictures will be declined and will not earn points. Most pictures will earn points. However, the picture has to be of good quality so it is easy to determine the focus / contents of the picture. Pictures are subject to Hobbylinc.com approval and decisions on quality are not negotiable.

• Rating a Product - Simply rate a product. 1 to 5 stars, 5 stars being the best. Products rated need to be items you have personal experience with. There is a limit to the amount of products rated that will be eligible for points. (I.E it does no good to click a rating on 1000 items just to receive points)

• Commenting on a Product - Making a useful comment on a product such as providing information that is not listed. (dimensions, product material, information about usage, etc...) You can also earn points by answering a comment question left by other users. Hobbylinc.com has to approve all comments. Reward Points are subject to Hobbylinc.com approval and are not negotiable.

• Other methods Occasionally we will offer bonus Reward Points. These will be solely at the discretion of Hobbylinc.com. Any bonus point offers will be communicated through the Hobbylinc.com Email list. If you are interested we suggest you make sure you are on the email list. You can join the email list by going to the area of your choice ( I.E. Plastic Models ) and clicking on the email list graphic located on the right side of the page.
