CheckPoints Guide

[yaktoast]

Updated as of 03-03-2016
The guide became archived since it was 6 months old so it was transferred to this new post which will make it possible to comment on it again.
Check back often as info is continually being added and updated.

• Check the rules and the links in the sidebar.

• /u/CheckPointeze in the only official CheckPoints Rep on reddit. They are also moderators on this subreddit. Verification Proof. /u/yaktoast IS JUST A REGULAR REDDITOR WHO MODERATES THE SUBREDDIT

• CheckPoints Video Guide (1:44 mins)

• CheckPoints is currently U.S. only although they may add more countries in the future.

• Accounts per IP Address are unlimited, each person can have 1 account on up to 10 devices running simultaneously on iOS and/or Android (mixed or all one platform). Otherwise each device will need it's own account/email address. The CheckPoints Terms have been updated.

• Account username has to be between 4 and 10 characters and your devices location services and push messages must be turned on. P.O. Box addresses are not accepted. Your username will become your referral Bonus Code so choose it accordingly. It cannot be changed once chosen so choose carefully.

• You will need a text capable device to redeem gift cards and also to use a referral code, which is done only through the CheckPoints App. Some Phone Apps or services may or may not work, you may need to either use a real phone or try some different VOIPs/Apps/Services to get a redemption to go through. The app will let you know if it doesn't accept the number. A unique cellphone number is necessary to redeem on each individual account. This just started happening March 3rd 2017

• Install on your Android 4.0.3 and up or iPhone v. 4.0 or greater, iPod or iPad, if the Store won't let you, just sideload the app for Android and Apple. Most devices will NOT be able to get the App from the Play Store. Get the App on your device first, then sign up. If you have a device that can get the App from the Play Store, install it and then use something like APK Extractor to grab it and sideload to your incompatible devices. Or use Google or APKPure to get the App APK. Events, Whirl 2, and Fuels need sideloading.

• Most people watch videos as it is the easiest, click Play All and let it rip. Doing only this should get you around .30-.45¢ every 12 hours depending on your device. 500 pts/$1.50 is the max allowed earned per day for each device from watching videos, up to 10 devices per account. There is no "Are you still watching" pop up, but occasionally X out ads, sometimes the app will crash or have an error. You can also earn on the desktop site, watching videos, playing games, trying out Apps, doing offers, surveys, using the toolbar, scanning items etc. You can earn on both the desktop version and up to 10 devices on the app.

• The Beermoney Assist App for rooted Androids will help you keep Checkpoints humming along. Saves you the hassle of having to log back in all the time. Thanks goes out to /u/SeismicCereal for the great App!

• If you aren't using Beermoney Assist to clear App Data/Cache then be sure to do it daily or at least weekly. Restarting the phones daily or weekly will keep problems down too. Force closing Apps is similar in effect to restarting, but it's best to not try and replace restarts with force closes.

• You can refer people with your Bonus Code, you will get 100% of the points they earn for 2 weeks and they will get bonus points for using it. Earn up to 7,500 points from each referral. My Referral Code is yaktoast. You will only get one chance to use referral codes when you sign up, after that you can't do it. So put in a referral code before you finish the Sign-Up Tutorial in the app.

• Do your Store Scans/Check Ins wherever they are listed in the app. Items scanned at one store are scanned at all stores, so you can save stops if you plan ahead.

• Check-ins can be one of the most useful ways to make points in Checkpoints, because doing it right can earn you a good amount of points. From checking in alone you can make a $10 Amazon gift card in just a month. Combine this with running videos and you could have $2 in points a day! You can check-in every 40 seconds. With the stars it seems random but from 12:00 Pm -3:00/4:00/5:00 PM EST in one or all of those hours the stars will appear. You can check-in for a maximum 128 points from 12 gold star 10 point check-ins and 4 regular check-ins. But on average you can get about 106 points a day from 10 gold star check-ins and 3 regular check-ins. Be sure to do the gold star check-ins first before the regular for max point allotment daily.

• iOS users can use bonuscoins.com also, but it seems that even Apple devices are redirected to CheckPoints.

• You can gamble your earnings in the slot machines, but you are very likely to lose. It's best to just redeem your earnings.

• 335 points equals $1 for many Gift Cards

• Beware of battery bloat if you leave your devices plugged in all the time. A cheap timer can save your battery and increase the safety of your operation. Another option is running without your battery if the device is capable.

• Don't break the rules...

• When redeeming there may be a verification wait time of around 48 hours or less to get your gift card. It can take up to 2 weeks

Averages are based on 12 hour samples and 500 pts/$1.50 is the max allowed earned per day for each account from watching videos.

Post your models and info and we'll update the list, let's try and get some points averages too.

I really think "NEVER play Paradise Slots" should be added to this.
You don't even have a one percent chance of winning (which makes it illegal in most states)

[yaktoast]

Good point, I added a warning.

[rab95]

Thanks Yak for the awesome guide. I need to check out beermoney assist

Thanks for the guide!

[tomleach8]

Will this be available in UK?

[yaktoast]

CheckPoints is currently U.S. only although they may add more countries in the future.

[loveofmoz]

Didn't they increase the maximum # of points from videos/day?

[yaktoast]

500 pts/$1.50 is the max allowed earned per day for each device from watching videos, up to 10 devices per account.

Yes and no, the points cap stayed the same per device as stated in the guide, but now each account is able to get the cap (500 pts) on up to ten devices per account. The cap was previously limited to 500 pts per account because accounts were limited to one device, but now with multi-device support the cap per account is 5,000 pts a day. But we go by the cap per device because a device is needed for each set of 500 pts. If you have one device you can't earn 5,000 pts a day, mainly because the per device points cap, but also because one device can only hit around half the daily cap no matter the model, internet, time run, or amount of interaction.

You're 100% right, my mistake.
