Do I have more chances of winning a prize if I belong to a higher level?
Yes. According to the instant winner moment, if you belong to a high level, you will have more daily opportunities to participate and, therefore, your chances of winning a prize will increase.
Below are the daily opportunities to participate depending on the level reached:
- Level 1: 2 daily opportunities.
- Level 2: 4 daily opportunities.
- Level 3: 6 daily opportunities.
- Level 4: 8 daily opportunities.
Can points be deducted from my points history?
Yes. There are some actions that carry points, such as eliminating your favourite metro and bus routes, stops and stations or deactivating service alerts among other interactions. Another situation in which points will be subtracted is when their validity has expired.
Do the points I have earned have an expiry date?
Depending on the type of action you undertake, the programme establishes how long your points are valid for in different ways: either they last forever (if you keep your JoTMBé user account) or else there is a time limit on them and they expire. In this latter case, if the period they are valid for expires, the points earned for that particular action will be deducted.
You can find out about point validity periods in the full list of actions shown in the section How to obtain points.
Why have I gone down a level?
You can go down a level when there is a reduction in the points you have earned and your overall total dips below the minimum number of points required for the level you are on.
Is my points total updated immediately when I carry out an action?
Not in every case. According to the action you carry out, the calculation of your points total is either immediate (there might be a few minutes delay while the update is processed) or on a monthly basis (on the first of every month). Check how points are updated on the list of actions that appears in How to obtain points.
What can I do if I am not credited with the points I am entitled to?
If your points status has not been updated in line with the terms established in the table of actions shown in How to obtain points, send us a request for information using our form and putting “JoTMBé Points Programme” as the subject. You will receive a reply sent to the email address you provide us with.
