Currency and Rewards Queue

XP earning actions

The XP Actions table lists six activities. Each row shows an activity, its Base XP (the XP a member earns), and a Daily cap.

• Daily Login: 10 XP.
• Microlearning (2-5 min): 25 XP.
• Skill Builder (10-15 min): 50 XP.
• Real-World Application: 75 XP.
• Post a Forum Thread: 25 XP.
• Reply to a Thread: 10 XP.
• Base XP and Daily cap are whole numbers from 0 to 100,000.
• A daily cap applies only to Post a Forum Thread and Reply to a Thread. By default a member earns XP for at most 3 threads and 5 replies per day, counted per UTC day, and a number you enter replaces the default. A cap of 0 stops those awards.
• Daily Login pays out at most once every 24 hours, whatever its cap shows. A cap of 0 turns it off.
• On the other rows, a Daily cap you enter is saved but not applied yet.
• Microlearning, Skill Builder, and Real-World Application are marked Challenge tiers only. They set the XP for beginner, intermediate, and advanced challenges that award by difficulty. They do not set the XP for Trainings or Micro-learnings on the Learn page.
• The Streak bonus and Prestige bonus add to Daily Login and challenge XP when they are turned on.
• A quest completion bonus is not set here. Each quest has its own bonus fields under Content > Quests.

Point rewards

Point Rewards sets the points, shown to members as BUX, that members earn for milestone achievements. Members spend them in Rewards.

• Tier 1 Challenge Complete: 10 points.
• Tier 2 Challenge Complete: 25 points.
• Tier 3 Challenge Complete: 50 points.
• Mentor Session: 40 points.
• Each value is a whole number from 0 to 100,000.

Leveling speed

Leveling speed sets how much XP each level needs for everyone in your organization. Choose Much faster, Faster, Standard, Slower, or Much slower. Standard uses the platform's XP table below, and the other speeds scale every level up or down.

Changes how much XP each level needs. It doesn't change how much XP or BUX any activity gives, so reports and comparisons with other orgs stay fair.

• Much faster needs half the XP for each level (0.5x), Faster needs three quarters (0.75x), Standard needs the table's XP (1x), Slower needs one and a half times (1.5x), and Much slower needs twice as much (2x). Fractions round up.
• Level 1 is always 0 XP, and level 20 unlocks Prestige. At Standard, level 20 needs 5,000 XP.
• Members never lose a level when you change the speed. The new numbers only apply to each member's next level-up.
• Leaderboards rank members by XP, so the speed never changes anyone's rank.

Budget and bonuses

• Monthly reward budget (points): default 10,000. This is the total your organization can fulfill in reward redemptions each month. When a redemption would go over it, the redemption waits in the Rewards Queue for your decision.
• Per-user monthly cap (points): default 500. This is the most points one person can redeem in a month. A redemption that would go over it is declined.
• Both amounts are whole numbers of 0 or more.
• Streak bonus: on by default. A streak of 7 or more days earns 10 percent more XP, and 30 or more days earns 25 percent more.
• Prestige bonus: on by default. It adds a permanent 10 percent XP bonus for each prestige level.

Decide redemptions in the Rewards Queue

Rewards Queue lists redemptions that would take your organization over its monthly reward budget. While a redemption waits, the member's points are held and the reward's inventory is reserved. A number next to Rewards Queue in the sidebar shows how many are waiting.

• When nothing is waiting, the page says No pending redemptions.

1. Open Rewards Queue in the Admin sidebar.
2. Read the reward and the person who asked for it.
3. Choose Approve to fulfill it. Stride issues the redemption code.
4. Or choose Reject, optionally enter a reason, and choose Reject and refund. The member gets their points back, the reward's inventory is restored, and the reason shows in their redemption history.
