Points

Points are the currency of Yaalu Rewards. Earn them by scanning Flash Drop QR codes and spend them on exclusive deals from local businesses.

How to Earn Points

Flash Drop QR Codes

Flash Drops are QR codes placed at partner businesses and community events. Each Flash Drop is a race — the faster you scan, the more you earn!

To scan a Flash Drop:

  1. Open the Yaalu app and tap the QR scanner button.
  2. Point your camera at a Flash Drop QR code.
  3. The app will process your scan and show your result.

Ranked Rewards

Each Flash Drop awards points based on how quickly you scan:

RankReward
1st scanner500 points (Jackpot!)
2nd–5th scanner50 points each
6th+ scannerNo points — the drop is exhausted

Once 5 people have claimed a Flash Drop, it's done. Keep an eye out for new ones!

Location Requirement

You need to be near the business where the Flash Drop is located to claim it. Make sure you're at the venue when you scan — remote scanning won't work.

Daily Scan Limit

You can scan up to 3 Flash Drops per day. Your remaining scans are shown in the Rewards Hub and on the Wallet page. The limit resets at midnight each day.

Monthly Leaderboard

Your points earned each month are tracked separately as Monthly Points. These are displayed on the community leaderboard where you can see how you rank against other Yaalu users.

  • Monthly points reset on the 1st of each month.
  • Your total (lifetime) points balance is unaffected by the monthly reset — you keep all your points for redeeming deals.

Checking Your Balance

Your current points balance is displayed at the top of the Rewards Hub and in your Wallet. You can see:

  • Points — Your total points available to spend on deals.
  • Monthly Points — Points earned this month (used for the leaderboard).
  • Scans Remaining — How many Flash Drop scans you have left today.

Transaction History

Every point you earn or spend is recorded in your Wallet under Recent Activity. Each transaction shows:

  • The source of the transaction (e.g., Flash Drop or Deal Redemption).
  • The number of points.
  • A description of the transaction.
  • The date and time.

To view your full transaction history, tap the Wallet icon in the Rewards Hub.
