RB Rewards

RB Rewards (RepeaterBook Rewards) is a loyalty and rewards program for RepeaterBook friends encouraging accurate, frequent, and consistent reporting of repeater information. Friends can receive awards, endorsements, and other prizes.

Friends can receive points within different categories. This can be fun and rewarding.

Some actions work towards awards. Some go towards a leaderboard standing. Some go towards both. How the points are used are explained under each section.

For points earners, a leaderboard displays point earners in varying categories. Friends can use the dashboard to see their points and all awards.
