So confused

I don't know what it is but I've searched and searched and can not find the tab to find out about the points system...How to earn them, or how many it takes it cash in on them...What the options are, etc...I hate to seem like a dummy but I find Gather to be so very confusing in many ways..

 

Thanks in advance

Barbara

When you click on your points, that should take you to the page where you can see how to earn points and what to do with them after you earn them.

never mind about points-- they're not worth fussing about and far better minds who have been here longer have serious doubts about gather points


and that is not meant as an insult to you, but some very tech-savvy peole have had doubts and many longstanding memebrs have even gerater questions


and i can't be bothered becayse it is a farce.

Go up to the help button on the top right of your screen. The points are worth knowing about, however, don't make your Gather experience about the points, they add up slowly or less you are here all the time.

Try these links, Barbara.
It isn't your fault. This site is far from as user friendly as it could be.

Thank you every body for your help..I found the page I needed...Funny thing when I'm on the site I can't see those settings/help/ sign out tags, unless I scroll my page all the way over to the left...Still confused though about the points and or waiting for the cash thing..am I wrong but do you have an option to wait and earn $50, but how do you know if you get to that point?

Barbara, I don't know the exact amount. You have to have approximately 3,000 points in a month. I think that is a calender month. If you go to cash rewards you cannot to back to the other. I don't know much more than that.

Barbara . . . You only become a cash earner when you have earned $50 in one month (3125 points) - check out my article (it is a bit old now - from right before point spending became active, but still good info) - Gather Points Explained: How Can They Add Up?. Once you are a cash earner, you remain a cash earner.

Thanks again... I will read it...

Mary, don't you think you should contact someone about that..I know I would not be a happy camper is that was my account..

Mary C. Legg - doubts about what exactly?

Mary Hanna - how long has it been? Some people have reported that they did get their cards.
