1. Points
1.1. What are "points"?
Users of the Cape Wine Farms mobile app can win
badges when checking in at wine farms.
If you win a badge, you gain a certain amount of points. These points are added
to your total score and can be used to get discounts on the
Cape Wine Farms online shop.
1.2. How do I accumulate more points?
Currently there is only one way to gain more points and that is by winning badges.
Download the Cape Wine Farms mobile app and
check in at wine farms. If you check in enough times, you will win badges.
Each badge you win will score you some points!
1.3. How many points do I get for every badge I win?
The harder it is to win a badge, the more points you are likely to get.
For example, when you check in at a wine farm for the first time
you will win the "First Wine Farm Check-in" badge:
But as this is an easy badge to win, it only gives you 250 points.
1.4. Are points worth money?
Yes! For every 100 points you gain, you will be able to deduct R1 from
selected products on the Cape Wine Farms online shop.
1.5. Is there any limit to point purchases?
No, but it is likely that in the near future we might add certain limitations
that will give more users a chance to buy items using points.
For example, we will most likely limit users to only 1 purchase using points
per month. However, this limit has not been added as yet.
1.6. What is the difference between the "Top 100" and "Friends" scoreboards?
Top 100: Lists the top 100 users with the highest scores on
the Cape Wine Farms mobile app.
Friends: Lists the rankings of you and your friends only.
Friends: Lists the rankings of you and your friends only.
1.7. How do I check in at a wine farm?
1.8. What can I do with points?
Points have two purposes on the Cape Wine Farms platform:
- Bragging rights: People with the highest scores appear on our Top 100 scoreboard.
- Currency: Your points can be used to buy really cool things from the Cape Wine Farms online store.
1.9. Do my points become less after I use them to buy something?
If you have 10 000 points, and you purchase something for 5 000 points, your score
will remain as 10 000 on the scoreboard, but the amount allowed to be used
for "point purchases" will decrease by 5000, leaving you with only 5 000 "cash points".
2. Badges
2.1. What are "badges"?
Badges are the rewards given to users who frequently check in at wine farms and wine farm events.
Each badge entitles you to a certain amount of points.
2.2. What are some the different conditions to winning a badge?
Badges can be won for various reasons including:
- Checking in at a Wine Farm on a specific day (e.g Holloween, Valentine's Day, etc)
- Checking in at a large number of different wine farms
- Checking in at events
2.3. How many badges are there to win?
You can see the full list of badges here.
If a badge has been won, it will be shown here. If no one has won a specfic badge, it
will show a question mark.
This list is constanly changing as we add more badges.
3. Friends
