⚪️ Rank & Rewards Program | Program Overview, Badges, & Merch Store | XM Community
Skip to main content

Note: Our Rank & Rewards merch program was updated Jan 28, 2025. This post reflects the most up-to-date changes.

 

We want to reward and thank you, our community members, for your incredible contributions to the Experience Community through the updated Rank & Rewards Program. Please read this entire post to familiarize yourself with the program and policies.

You can achieve different levels / ranks within the community, depending on the number of points that you've accumulated. Every Experience Community member will reach Level 1 once they earn 50 points. Your ranking will display on your profile and next to your name whenever you post or comment. You'll earn a new badge, which will be displayed on your profile, and an email congratulating you for each level you reach! When you unlock a new level, you'll receive a DM with your downloadable badge!

Everyone earning points on the Experience Community is eligible to “spend” the points for exclusive Community merch on our merch store.

Earn Points:

 

Provide an answer ➡️ 15 Points | Post a reply ➡️ 5 Points | Create a discussion or question ➡️ 10 Points | Receiving a like or a vote ➡️ 1 Point | Give a like or a vote ➡️ 1 Point

 

Rules:

 

  1. No cheating! Administrators retain all rights to determine if someone has gamed their way up into higher levels (eg., posting AI-generated content). 
  2. Qualtrics employees and SAP employees are not eligible for rewards
  3. Merch acquired from the merch store with Experience Community points must be for your own personal, individual use
  4. We utilize a third-party vendor and store to fulfill all merch shipments. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any specific timeline for your order and there may be a time gap between order, fulfillment, and delivery
  5. Please note, each country has its own customs processes and regulations. In some situations, you may be contacted by UPS to verify customs and delivery information. In that case, you are responsible for those communications. Failing to respond to those communications could result in a failed delivery and the disposal of your package
  6. When asked, please provide us with an address that large, international carriers (UPS, DHL, FedEx) can easily deliver to -- if you are located in India, we highly recommend a work address, as we will only send your swag shipment once
  7. Read the *full* Merch Store FAQ post carefully, including the fine print at the bottom of the post

 

 

Each time you reach a new level in the Rank & Rewards Program, you will receive a direct message that gives you access to your badge for the level you reached.

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/49644#Comment_49644Hi Betsy, I don't think my team was aware the replacement shirt never arrived. We're very sorry this goodwill gesture did not end up working out. I can investigate some other options for the shirt that was stained. Stay tuned! We're super pleased to read you're such a Qualtrics fan and would love to see a pic of your collection in your office!


Thanks Michael_Cooksey . I'll start making a list of questions for the AMA!


Hello,
Do we get all the swags listed once we reach the level or choose one of them ?

I really loved the new program this is so amazing 😀


https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50070#Comment_50070Hi there! Great question! You get all of the rewards associated with the level you earned. For example, once you reach Level 2 you will earn a Level 2 Badge, a Level 2 Linkedin Badge, an XM Community T-shirt, a keychain, a device locator, and a hat 🤩


WhatsApp Image 2022-10-20 at 1.09.18 PM.jpeg😍This is amazing!! thank you Qualtrics Community😍


ohh wow. This is awesome. Yesterday I got level 2 badge and waiting for my tees. Now my target is level 8. I have been using Qualtrics tool since last 7 years. I know I can achieve this. Thank you for this inspirational program.


Hi Admin,
I have received level 2 & 3 LinkedIn badge but no update yet on other rewards.
Please help.


This is a great way to learn more about the platform.


https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/55708#Comment_55708Thanks! We are looking forward to seeing you rank up here on the XM Community! Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you with your experience on our Community 🤓


New pointing system is better and engaging. Received level one swag and now I always have my keys with cool Qualtrics key chain.

I am so happy to hear you are loving the new point system! You’ve earned your ranks so quickly - it is simply incredible! Keep up the great work 🤗


Two Questions about the Points System 🏆 Still trying to figure out what’s new, what’s different and what’s no more following the recent overhaul of the Community*.

  1. Am I to understand the many different ways (badges with points) one earned in the past is no more and has been replaced by only the 4 following ways?
  • 50 points for providing an answer to a question
  • 15 points for posting a reply to a discussion
  • 5 points for receiving a “like” or a “vote”
  • 15 points for creating a topic
  1. Following the launch of the refreshed XM Community, everyone’s profile still lists their (impressive) badge collection. In the past these had an embedded hyperlink that when clicked would catapult one to the details about that particular badge (along with an explanation on how to earn it). These embedded links no longer seem to work nor can I find the page which lists them. Is that because of the new points system or did this ‘survive’ the refresh to live another day?

Hi @SteveBelgraver -- yes, this is an accurate summary of how our simplified and streamlined point system works now. Regarding the badges, there is no page listing all badges, but you can hover over a badge, and a tooltip should pop up telling you what the badge is. Hope this helps! 

 


Such a cool program - looking forward to contributing more to our community!


Hi @AmaraW @Michael_Cooksey ,

 

Curious to know on what after Level 8. :)


This is such a neat program! I am very excited to interact more with this community + learn additional helpful information about XM. Qualtrics has so many cool resources (like this program) that there are times it is hard to know about all of them and find time to utilize them all. 

 

I have been our company’s Qualtrics SME for almost a year but there is definitely more I can + want to learn! What are some of the Qualtrics resources you utilize often that I should look into?


WhatsApp Image 2022-10-20 at 1.09.18 PM.jpeg😍This is amazing!! thank you Qualtrics Community😍

Holy smokes!! Congrats on the accomplishment, Isabel :)

Hello @Lauren_Graftaas, I’m very glad that you’re excited to join the community and learn more! 🙂

I recommend taking a look at XM Basecamp, you can find courses and certifications that will increase your overall XM knowledge.

 

If you’re looking for tips and best practices, we have weekly programs right here on the community that highlight Qualtrics features and help provide some guidance for new users. These programs include Getting Started Mondays & 2-Minute Tips

Let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with. 😄

Thank you for providing your advice, @JoseS! I appreciate your support + connection. 

 

I have spent a decent chunk of time in XM BaseCamp, but have not yet checked out those programs, like Getting Started Mondays + 2 Minute Tips. I will ensure I block off time to check them out 😃


I'm very excited because I've just received a delivery notice to pick up my swag !! 🎉


However, it seems that I have to pay customs on my parcel… Is this something common?

My colleague has received several parcels of swag without ever having to pay any, so I'd rather check with you 👀


@Sophieroy Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out. Please, do not pay any customs! I will contact our fulfillment vendor immediately to get this issue resolved for you 😀

@Sophieroy Yes, I just sent you a private message reviewing your options 😁
