Understanding the Scoring System

In SnapDosh, there are two balances you should know about. They function differently and have distinct goals.

1. Round XP

This is the XP you earn during the current round. It measures your activity and determines your leaderboard position.

  • Accumulation: Earned by posting deals, receiving likes, and acting as a scout.
  • Status: During the round, your current status does not change immediately. The XP you earn defines the status you will have in the next round.
  • Reset: At the end of each round, Round XP resets to zero so everyone has a chance to compete again.
  • Goal: Climb the Status levels (Shopper -> Deal Hunter -> Master Saver -> Legendary).

How to Earn Points 💰

The amount of XP and Balance you earn on SnapDosh is dynamic. It changes according to the community, the region, and the moment in the round. To see exactly how much you earned for each action, always check your History in the app.

Here are the main ways to accumulate:

ActionPoints Earned
Post a new DealDynamic (Check in the App)
Receive a like on your DealDynamic (Check in the App)
Deal Scout ValidationVaries (bonus for helping)
Refer a friendBonus on friend's 1st post

⚠️ Daily Limit Warning: To prevent spam, only your first 5 posts of the day will generate points. You can continue posting as many deals as you want to help the community, but point earnings are capped at 5 posts per day.

2. Gift Card Balance

This is the balance you use to exchange for Gift Cards.

  • How it appears: Actions can generate gift card balance during the current round. That balance becomes redeemable after the round closes.
  • Validity: It is available during the next active round. If it is not redeemed before that round closes, it expires.
  • Usage: Exchange them in the app's reward store.

Your Points and Level

Status Levels 🏆

Your level is based on your ranking position at the end of the round. When the round closes, SnapDosh calculates your new status and it becomes active in the next round:

LevelXP Range / PositionBenefit
ShopperInitial levelBase app access
Deal HunterTop 25% of users1.05x multiplier on applicable XP/balance
Master SaverTop 5% of users1.10x multiplier on applicable XP/balance
LegendaryTop 1% of users1.15x multiplier on applicable XP/balance

Pro Tip: The higher your status, the faster you can accumulate Round XP in the next round thanks to status multipliers.
