Rank & Rewards Program
We want to reward and thank you, our community members, for your incredible contributions to the XM 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 XM 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 reach Level 1, you'll receive a survey that gives you access to your Linkedin Profile Badge. When you achieve levels 2 - 8, you'll earn swag and receive an email including a survey that requests your sizing, shipping, contact information, and / or certification preferences and provides your Linkedin Profile Badge.
Earn Points:
- Provide an answer | 15 Points
- Post a reply | 5 Points
- Create a discussion or question | 10 Points
Rules:
- You can only earn the swag for each level once.
- No cheating! Administrators retain all rights to determine if someone has gamed their way to a reward.
- If you've participated in the old version of the Rank & Rewards Program, your rank from the old program will transfer over to the new program. Your new level will be assigned based on the number of points you currently have, as shown in the diagram above. Please note that you will not receive swag for any levels for which you have already received rewards. If you have an outstanding swag shipment, you will receive the new program swag for the equivalent, new program level.
- Qualtrics employees and SAP employees are not eligible for rewards.
- We utilize a third-party vendor to fulfill all swag shipments. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any specific timeline for your order and there may be a time gap between order, fulfillment, and delivery. On average, we expect shipments to be fulfilled and delivered within 90 days.
- 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. XM Community Admins will assist when able and to a reasonable degree.
- When asked, please provide us with an address that UPS can easily deliver to - we highly recommend a work address, as we will only send your swag shipment once. If you reside in India, please see the Address Guidelines PDF attached to this post to ensure deliverability.
- At this time, the following geographic regions are not eligible for participation in Rank and Rewards: India (with the exception of members who are part of the official Qualtrics Partner Network).
