What are ActiveCaptain Points?
As you make updates, add markers, and enter reviews, you gain points. Whenever you see a review,
the current number of points of the captain who wrote the review will be displayed. This gives
you an indication of the experience the captain has and how much they contribute to
the site.
Points are earned as follows:
Each update accepted - 1 point
Each new marker accepted - 10 points
Writing a review - 10 points
The quickest way to obtain points is to write reviews. You can only write one review for each
marker. If you re-review a marker, you'll be able to edit your previous review but no extra
points are awarded.
ActiveCaptain Point Levels - Total Points
As you reach different point levels, you become eligible for awards.
You can receive only one item or free sample for each point level and some items and samples
may have restrictions such as "while supply lasts" or "for a limited time period."
When you reach one of the levels you will receive an email asking
for your mailing information, and, in the case of third party products, permission to pass
your information along to the third party.
You can check how many total points you have by logging in and going to
My Account. Your total points are also displayed on every page
in the top right next to your captain name when you are logged in.
