    Good day!!

    I'm new to the community. I hope the question is in the right place :-)

    Where can I find out what the points accumulated in my profile are for?

    Any files or web links with information?

    Thank you very much :-)

    In links I found it is not mentioned if it is for some kind of exchange (products, exams, etc) or it is just to give some badge :-(

    Thanks for any information :-)

    The welcome link does not mention how the accumulated points are used:

    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/participate/welcome-corner

    I think it's not a relevant question so I'll stop asking :-)

    Time will tell me what they are for :-)

    Hello Saul,

    This Points & Badges page appears to provide useful information.   (Thanks to @Sarah-Jane Cogley for creating the page.  (Ms. Cogley, please forgive the name-check, but I understand that I might earn valuable points by doing this.)).  Points appear to be awarded based on ones level of activity within the IBM Community.

    Points are gained by your Actions within The Community

    It really depends on which IBM profile you're referring to. Often, IBM uses a points or rewards system within its partner or developer communities to recognize activities like contributing content, participating in training, or engaging in community events. These points might be used for:

    • Unlocking additional resources or premium content
    • Gaining access to special training, certification discounts, or events
    • Qualifying for recognition in IBM's community or partner programs

    To find specific details about your points and what they're for, check the dashboard or rewards section in your IBM profile. There's usually documentation or a FAQ in that area, or you could reach out to IBM
