806 Perks: points, levels and Your 806 Week

Points come only from useful local help that a moderator approves. Reviews and helpful votes do not earn points, so nobody is ever rewarded for what they say about a business. Points never expire. Perks from local businesses are coming soon; there is nothing to redeem yet.

What to do

  1. Add an event and a moderator approves it: 10 points.
  2. Send a tip or a listing fix while signed in and a moderator approves it: 10 points.
  3. Add your own photo to a tip and a moderator publishes it: 5 points.
  4. Finish claiming your own business: 15 points.
  5. Up to 30 points a day. Levels: Neighbor (0), Explorer (20), Connector (60), Local Scout (150).
  6. Your 806 Week: 2 approved actions in a week. Miss one and the first missed week each month is a grace week, automatically. No streaks.

Frequently asked questions

Why don’t reviews earn points anymore?

A reward tied to reviews can nudge what people write. We want reviews that are only honest. Review points earned before Sept 30, 2026 stay on your total.

Do points expire?

No. Points never expire and are never taken away.

Do points move instantly?

No. They land when a moderator approves what you sent.

Is there a leaderboard or a streak?

No. There is no all-time leaderboard and no daily streak. Your 806 Week is a small weekly goal with a grace week every month.

Can I redeem points?

Not yet. Perks from local businesses are coming soon. When they arrive, you will see them on your dashboard first.
