What it does
Many points systems reward single actions such as posting or commenting, which leaves no reason for members to come back on a schedule. This addon adds rewards tied to time intervals. You define how long a user must wait, how often the reward recurs and what it pays out. Once the interval passes, the user can claim the reward, which gives regular visitors something to look forward to each time they return.
Rewards are presented through customizable pop-up messages, with a label field showing the time reward and a countdown counter showing how long until the next one. You can set minimum and maximum reward limits to keep things balanced, and use the Must Include option to control eligibility. Guests can see messages inviting them to sign up. The plugin lists BuddyPress as a requirement and runs on single sites or multisite networks.
Best for
- BuddyPress communities already using myCred points
- Membership sites that reward regular return visits
- Multisite networks running a shared points program
