Erth Points are digital reward points. Erth is a ticker code, like the currency codes seen on foreign exchanges, such as $AUD, £GBP and $USD. You can earn them by shopping at any participating business.
What are Erth Points?
Erth Points are earned by customers from participating businesses. Supply and demand establish the price at which they are gifted or spent.
When a customer earns Erth Points, their nominated ECO and the Rewards4Earth Foundation earn the same number of Erth Points, effectively gifting triple the points.
Once a person, or organisation, receives Erth Points they wholly own them. Erth Points are not linked to the business that gave them, they can be spent at any participating business in the world.

How do I earn Erth Points?
You earn Erth Points by downloading the Rewards4Earth App, securely registering the card you use to pay with, nominating a ECO to support and simply making purchases from participating businesses. After each qualifying transaction, your Erth balance is updated and can be viewed in the App.
Receiving Erth Points is easy:
1. Download the free Rewards4Earth App
2. Enter your details to create an account
3. Securely register your payment card information
4. Select the ECO cause you wish to support
5. Make purchases from participating businesses.
The businesses decide what percentage of the purchase price they will reward as a success fee for receiving the sale. The supporter, the ECO and the Rewards4Earth Foundation all receive Erth Points. Please be aware that supporters cannot purchase Erth Points.

How does it work?
Every time you buy from a participating business, you, your nominated ECO and the planet, all receive Erth Points.
There are three different ways you can pay for goods and services from a participating business and earn Erth Points. The Rewards4Earth technology works in the background to securely track and manage the payment to the merchant and the transfer of the Erth Point.
Pay with your registered payment card. Securely register your payment card and every time you purchase using our Rewards4Earth App at a participating business, Erth Points are automatically sent to your App wallet.
For each option, the value of the transaction and reward offered by the merchant is calculated and the correct value of Erth Points is allocated between the supporter, their nominated ECO and the Rewards4Earth Foundation based on the market price of Erth™ points at that time. The number of Erth Points gifted to you will be different every time as the market value of Erth Points increases or decreases due to supply and demand.
How do I use my Erth Points?
Erth Points can be used as payment, were accepted or gifted to friends and family.
Erth Points can be used to pay at any organisation that accepts them. They are exchanged for goods or services based on exchange or market price at the time of the transaction. You can also gift them to another Rewards4Earth user.
You can collect Erth Points from any participating business worldwide, thereby enabling you to potentially collect them faster. You can spend them at any business that accepts them worldwide.
It is important to note that they do fluctuate in value at all times and as such you may buy the same item and receive a different number of Erth Points as the number of Erth Points gifted is based on the percentage of the sale price paid by the business and the market price at the time of the transaction.
The difference between Erth & traditional loyalty schemes
The Customer benefits, the ECO benefits, the business benefits and planet Erth benefits, there’s nothing else like it.
Rewards4Earth is not a “traditional” loyalty system. The loyalty is to the Planet and the ECO and the businesses benefit from that loyalty, and the system is based only on PAY-per-SALE, not PAY-per-CLICK.
The Erth Point system’s primary functions are:
1. To provide ECO supporters with access to fantastic deals and;
2. To reward the supporters, their favourite ECO, and the Rewards4Earth Foundation with Erth Points.
3. To help businesses make more sales and save on marketing, as they only PAY-per-SALE and not PAY-per-CLICK (which may not lead to a sale).
4. To provide the ECO with ongoing support and residual income from their supporters’ spending.
5. To enable all of us to HELP save PLANET EARTH by enabling a small part of every transaction in the world to go towards environmental projects.
Erth Points don’t expire. They can’t be devalued by any rewarding businesses, even if the gifting business goes bankrupt. They are owned by the holder, not the gifting business.
How might the value of any points I earn change?
Erth Points have a market-derived value, determined by supply and demand. As a result, the value will fluctuate and move up or down relative to your local currency.
Anything traded on a free market will fluctuate in value, and Erth Points are no exception. Erth Points are designed to work as a scalable, self-perpetuating ecosystem in which Erth Points move freely between businesses, supporters, ECO’s and the Foundation.
The expected gradual growth in organisations and individuals using the system across the world may help smooth out these fluctuations, however, Rewards4Earth cannot be responsible, nor liable, for any such fluctuations and makes no warranties, guarantees, opinions and/or suggestions as to the past, present or future value of Erth Points or how their value may behave on the free market.
How does the blockchain factor work?
Erth Points use blockchain encryption technology, which enables secure transactions that can’t be accessed or tampered with.
In its simplest terms, blockchain is blocks of data created at the moment the transaction was enacted and then linked together (the chain) in a way no one can access or tamper with.
This makes it a much more secure form of transaction recording than, for example, a conventional bank transfer process where it is possible (although highly unlikely) to alter the records. It is a distributed ledger, meaning a copy of the transaction record (ledger) is sent to numerous trusted parties, making it impossible to change a party’s records without all other parties seeing the change. Tampering is therefore illogical as no one can really get away with it.

Where can I spend Erth Points, once I’ve earned them?
Erth Points can be spent at any business that chooses to accept them as a payment option anywhere in the world.
Any organisation can choose to accept Erth Points as a payment option. This includes businesses that are rewarding customers with them or ECO’s that want to give their supporters more options or unique deals. This facility will be down to the discretion of each organisation and the number of businesses that transact Erth Points is expected to grow as time passes.
Please be aware that it is possible to earn Erth Points from a business and that business may choose not to accept them as a payment option. This is the businesses decision and not Rewards4Earth’s.
How may businesses communicate with me?
Rewards4Earth enables consumers to choose which, if any, businesses contact them by opting to become a “VIP” member.
The Erth Point system has been designed to give supporters power, not businesses. All data protection and privacy laws are strictly adhered to, and the App gives each user the option of being a “VIP” customer to any business. The customer can also decide the frequency they hear from businesses, the maximum is once a week, but this can be shifted to fortnightly, monthly or yearly.
This is the only way a business can communicate directly with a supporter. The supporter decides the frequency and not the business (this cuts down on the opt-out numbers). The business search and geo-listing functions are designed to keep consumers in control of what they search for when they need it and wherever they are.
