benefits of earning chess.com points.

Is there any benefit of earning chess.com points, or its simply waste of time.

Does these points anyhow help in getting account upgraded?

Nope, not really, just a way of checking how social you are.
You can pay for an upgrade, or sometimes win one in tournaments.
Hope that helps

Rafael is a writer and coach at chess.com.

Don't listen to him. They're the ticket to the good life!

I hear that they give out Confederate money to those who have the highest points. 

Good! I'm going to New Orleans next year!

isn't dere a staff member  to post here......

I hear they give out a Chess.com Tshirt after you get1000 points. Thats what Im shooting for.

Would Really be Nice if they r of some use ...

Wish that was true. I collect the stuff!

Well, you can quit shootin.

but he definitely need a t-shirt.

Darn! Do you know if they sell them? If not I guess Im getting another Tatoo!

They don't seem to be too swift at merchandising.

(hint...hint)

If you go  $outh they'll give you lip service about the Confederacy but they still want cold, hard US dollars .

Ok then. Maybe they will upgrade my membership for free after I get chess.com Tatooed across my back.

The ultimate tramp stamp!

None at all= each time you answer a question on a forum you receive one point= it helps Chess.com with your activity on the webb site

Sorry but I think the more you people waste time  on forums, they (Chess.com) get more money from google.
and they are paying us back only lol (points...of no use)  

Just ordered my Chess.com Tshirt it easier then posting 1000 times and cheaper than a tatoo! $12.99
