I thought we could use a more recent, updated informational sticky topic for the Compete forum. Here you can find info about competing in teams, Points2shop lottery and sweepstakes, and the honor levels.

Teams, Team Competitions, and Merits
  • What merits are used for - Merits are used in team competitions, held monthly and weekly. Winning teams at the end of the competition will win a cash reward depending on their ending position. For current running contest, visit the Contests page.
  • Gaining Merits - Merits can be obtained by completing quests, winning them from the Spin2win after marking an offer as completed, and logging in daily. To view your quests completion, visit the Quests page: Quests
  • Joining teams - To join a team, visit the Teams page for the full list of teams available. Look for an unlocked team with less than 5 members, and request to join. A message will be sent to the leader regarding the request. You might have better luck finding a team here in the Compete forum, either by creating a thread or replying to a topic asking to join.
  • Starting your own team - To start your own team instead, visit the same "Teams" link directly above and click Create a Team. There's a limit of 5 members per team, choose wisely. You can disable team requests on the Team Overview page.
:light: Note team leaders: Each member added into the team deducts 50 merits from the team total.
  • Donating merits to a team - To donate merits, visit the Teams Competition page located under the Compete tab. Click on the "Your Team" link, and you will be able to donate your merits on that page. For a guide walkthrough on donating merits, be sure to check out this guide: How to donate merits
Donating merits is irreversible, and you cannot get donated merits back if you leave your team. When you donate, they only count for current open contests. This means you'll want to make sure you have a chance at winning the competitions BEFORE donating or they would go to waste! A good amount to gain would be a few thousand merits per teammate.
  • Team competition winnings - Team competition winnings are split among teammates, with the leader of the team getting a slightly bigger reward. Payouts are made manually by the admin team, which can be a few days after the closing contest date.
For additional information, visit our wiki pages for Team Competitions and Quest Merits .


Lottery and Tickets / Sweepstakes and Entries

• Read the Weekly Lottery sticky for more information on the Lottery.

Tickets gained throughout the week is automatically entered into the drawing held. Since the lottery is run manually, there is no set time when during that day it will be drawn - Be patient! Additional information can be found on our wiki page: P2S Lottery
  • Lottery ticket history - You can view your history here: Tickets History . If you have tickets deducted for a freebie topic marked as spam, you can find out which one here. Usually an explanation why your topic was removed will be posted in your topic by a forum mod or moderator.
  • Sweepstakes -The Sweepstakes is only available for US, which is held monthly. Entries are gained only from Spin2win after completing an offer, which are entered automatically. For this months sweepstakes reward, your current amount of entries, and more information can be found on the sweepstakes page: Sweepstakes


Honor Levels

Honor levels represent achievements you've made on the site and reward you for completing the requirements specified for each. Rewards like a new username color, a points bonus, new help tools, and even more offers to complete. To view your progress towards honor levels and rewards for each, check the Honor Levels page. Visit our wiki page for Honor levels and unlocking new features for more.


Good luck competing. =)
