Hi everybody ! 

I was just wondering... can you trade member points for things ? Like if you have 2000 points, you should make like 1 week free membership. It makes more people more active !

When I get to 6000, erik said he'll pay for me to have a week in space. Obviously, being an astute businessman, he insists that I wear a Chess.com baseball cap for all TV work.

I've been saving up for the scooter, but I fear blackfirestorm666 may nab it first.

So far all I can get is the giant novelty comb.

The_Chess_Ninja

As far as I can tell, nobody has gone for the chess.com fanny pack.  It is as good a prize as any.

I call dibs on the birdfeeder though.  Hopefully one like this...

No - but you can trade T-shirts for member points.

You sense inactivity in the forums? It follows then that you can misunderstand the concept of points and rewards. Here is how it might work. You pay a penny for each post you make. After 10,000 posts ($100) you exchange your 10,000 points for a reward worth $5.

Please allow me to make a point:

Post #16: "There"

Post #17: "There will"

Post #18: "There will be"

Post #19: "There will be no"

Post #20: "There will be no trades"

Post #21: "There will be no trades for"

Post #22: "There will be no trades for member"

Post #23: "There will be no trades for member points!"

(How many more do I need for that t-shirt?...)

If you ever reach MINUS 1000 member points, you have to give chess.com a T-shirt. (SOURCE: is-there-any-table-that-shows-relation-between-action-and-player-points)

 And your fur coat looks marvelous, g-dog! No more tangles!


I would save up for the giant novelty brush but they don't have one. Now that would be sweet.
