Understanding Pinjoy coupons vs. Real Cash
"I earned 10,000 coupons! ...Wait, how much money is that?"
We use a coupons system (sometimes called Points or Gems) to standardize rewards across different countries. Here is how to translate that into real money.
The Conversion Rate
1,000 coupons = $1.00 USD
(Note: This is the standard rate, but check the specific rate in your app as it may vary slightly by region or currency).
Quick Reference Table
| coupons | USD Value |
|---|---|
| 100 | $0.10 |
| 500 | $0.50 |
| 1,000 | $1.00 |
| 5,000 | $5.00 |
| 10,000 | $10.00 |
Why Use coupons?
Why don't we just show dollars?
- Micro-transactions: Some tasks pay $0.005. It looks better as "5 coupons" than "$0.005".
- Global Currency: We have users in Brazil, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, and USA. Coupons provide a universal language. When you cash out, we convert Coupons to your local currency.
Fluctuations
Does the value change?
* coupons are stable. 1,000 coupons is always intended to be ~$1.00.
* Exchange Rates vary. If you cash out in Euros, the amount you receive depends on the USD/EUR exchange rate that day.
Bonus coupons
Look out for "Bonus coupons" events where tasks pay 1.5x or 2x the normal rate. This is the best time to grind!
