How do we earn points & what do we get with them?

Member Points: Chess.com keeps track of all of your contributions to the site such as comments, blog posts, forum participation, articles, etc. Each contribution counts for points. This helps members know how involved each other are in Chess.com

Thanks a lot for clearing that up for me.

 Thanks for the information

Ah ok, i discover that too. So, i will have one point more now!

If i have well understand...

Let's just say some of us earn them more than others... 

Don't you get a key to the (chess.com) city for every 10000? 

Yeah, I hear blackfirestorm has retired to a villa in France!

Of course you would have just received your complimentary Eric and Kohai action figures...
