I think you get a 100 points for $1 cover price. When they had the sale back in October I spent like $11 something but got points for the cover price of the books (so that was like 8800 points).
Also, if you log in every week you get points for voting in little mini polls about covers, etc, so that's usually 2 things at 100 points each. And if you click the Facebook link, they have a spot the difference in covers, so that's usually worth 200 points. And you don't have to be on Facebook as I'm not, you just click on the "Check our Facebook page to earn more points" link. So you can get 400 points per week on average without buying anything.
I think you can also post reviews and stuff on their message board and get points, but I haven't done that. They also have specials every month where if you buy specific books you get 5000 points instead of 100 points per $1 spent.
When you first join now you get 2000 points just for completing your profile, so that's currently enough for a free book redemption code. The codes normally cost 5000 points, so 2000 points is less than half price. You can only redeem one per day though.
I have a lot of points as I do the activities every week, plus I always email them my Kobo receipts when I buy Carina Press books. And I like a lot of Harlequin and Carina authors, so they just add up.
