A big congrats to the 4 Community members who earned the Top 1% Reward. The daily work of these awesome folks is truly amazing!

And a big shout out as well to the 13 members who earned the Top 5% Reward and the 16 members who were in the Top 10%! Their contributions to the Community should not go unnoticed.

Together, the Community members in the top 1%, 5% and 10% had a total of 428 accepted solutions in April. Thank you all for your amazing work!

I'm at 20+ hours per week at this point.

What do you foresee for May rewards at this rate?

@Eliza5, it isn't just about time in the community.  So far you have made 13 posts and I would say 3 are offering help.  The others are talking about rewards/badges and how to get solutions.  I think if you stop worrying about rewards and just posted help when you know the answer you will enjoy the forum a lot more and not feel pressured to "spend time" in here.

Just being here for a certain period of times does not earn rewards. Rewards are about helping others and the quality of the information that is provided. If I were to go ahead and log in and stay logged in for 1000 hours but don't actually post anything to help out, I wouldn't earn any reward.

@CFPartDeux 

  I thought I'd leave the shiny medals to the military man. I'm not nearly as colourful with my posts as you.

@Eliza5 

         Keep hitting that search bar to find solutions to issues that are being posted so you will be able to acquire the knowledge to answer the questions being asked. If you continue with your current participation level you can be assured of a top 25% badge but the top 10% level is a reasonable goal to achieve without having to pitch a tent and move in. Keep up your contributions they are appreciated!

[brettster99]

@Eliza5 

I would guess somewhere between a $5 or $10 reward if the participation is similar to last month. As I am around similarish and got $5 last month. If not then $2 to $5

Awwwww, aren't you sweet! Except you forgot the gold, silver, & bronze. 😉

[Naepalm]

No that was for the whole month @brettster99

[brettster99]

@darlicious 

I tried calculating it. 

53 / 8 (days)  = 6.6 hours 

6.6 x 30 days = 198 hours a month 

6.6 x 8 = 52.8 hours a week lol 

6.6 x 7 = 46.2 

6.6 x 21 = 138. 6 

Either way a lot of hours 

I honestly did not think I was spending that much time on here lol. Went way faster then the actual time amount spenr

[darlicious]

@Naepalm 

Sadly that's about the average time and pay for the top 1% and top 5% levels. I actually have spent a little less time in the last month or so but im still averaged out to 140 hours logged in making $0.065 an hour.

@brettster99  That's 53 hours in 8 days..... your on track for over 200 hours a month or is that for 3 weeks? But it's a labour of love around here.

[brettster99]

@Naepalm 

Actually if you think about It you would break even at a 1 year and 8 months in (12 + 8 Laughing out loud at $1 is $20)  Anything after is really a bonus / savings.

@Anonymous  I would say the recurring is best if the person actually stays on for like 4 years LOL otherwise the person being referred gets a better deal with a lump sum immediately. Hypothetically they could quit the next month then re-sign up...lol

There are people here that rake in the dough on those RAF promos. It had been $25 but the most recent one was $20. Even the current one is just once if you don't have any.

So that's 20 terms. Who jumps around carriers frequently? Once in, the recurring rewards add up.

[Pawprints1986]

Yep koodo had the one time referral reward where I referred my brother and we both got I think $20 in credits but no recurring rewards at all. I'm guessing other second tiers would be similar ?

@Anonymous  doesnt koodo have something as well? like 20.00 per friend or something?

That's one that I was recalling. But no one else has the recurring referrer reward. Just the one time. Which isn't bad. But taken with all the other rewards here...piffle.

I just realized I misread my badge the other day! Even better than I thought, somehow? I'll take it! 😁 I checked self serve today and thought a mistake had been made rewards wise, but then I double checked my badge again. I was going to ask about it until I realized... I'm too honest not to. lol

I wonder why the higher tiers don't have any sort of rewards plans like Public does? I would have taken part or tried to if they did. They don't even have auto pay/pre auth pay rewards as far as I know, at least who I was with didn't on post paid. I did with the credit card I used there but from my bank not from the carrier. 🤔

Chatr and Lucky both have autopay rewards. Some others have refer a friend rewards. But no one has loyalty and community. (I only looked at Chatr and Lucky and seem to recall seeing refer a friend elsewhere)

(that I know of 🙂 )

[Naepalm]

@gpixel ??? what do you mean?

Wow, must have been early in the morning didn't notice the spoiler. Great job on hunting all that info down.

Oh nevermind, i found it. 🙂

[esjliv]

Where is the private tab?

[brettster99]

@Naepalm 

JESUS 53.5 hours? I can’t do math so I don’t know what that equates to ($5.00 reward) but surely it’s somewhere around the same as you

[Naepalm]

@brettster99 in your account under private tab it says how many minutes you are on, just divide it by 60. To get the hours 🙂

[brettster99]

@Naepalm 

How did you check that?

[Naepalm]

@darlicious logged 146 hours last month, now some of that might just because it was up on my second screen as I work throughout the day. 

But that comes to 5% contribution 10.00/146 = 0.06 cents per hour LOL
