What can users do with their points? A user s bank (point bucket) can decrease after long idle periods. (Example: After three weeks, 5 points is deducted from back. After five weeks 10 points and so on.) Users can lose two point if goal is not completed prior or on deadline set. In the future, points can be redeemed for online gift cards.
