  • Points have no cash, monetary, or other value, and cannot be converted into any currency. They count towards merchandise and other Rewards that would be made available from time to time.  They also can count towards MyTrustScore considerations which are found later in this document.
  • You may use our Answerable Platform to use points for the Rewards that are made available from time to time through brands who are also on the platform.
  • We may restrict the Rewards available upon the use of points from any particular Member Account.
