myCred Time Based Reward

Sites that run on points often struggle to give people a reason to return regularly. myCred Time Based Reward answers this with timed rewards. You set a waiting period, and once it passes, the user can claim a reward. You can also set how often the reward recurs, so the interval fits your community or business model.

The addon connects to your existing myCred setup and lets you pay out either myCred points or badges. Pop-up messages tell users when a reward is ready, and a countdown timer shows how long remains until the next one. It suits membership sites, online communities and other platforms where you want to encourage regular participation. It works on a single site or a multisite installation.
