Setting Up Your Account

On a mobile device and haven't installed the App yet? Simply click Here then download the app and your bonus points will automatically be added! If you're not on a mobile device follow the link link and choose which app, iOS or Android, you want to download.

Alert: Some users have reported a problem when downloading Checkpoints with that link. I've been in touch with Checkpoints and am working on correcting the problem. You can download the app from the app store and then follow the steps below to earn bonus points. Or, scroll down to the last image and make note of the bonus referral code - bonuscode2013 - use that code when setting up your account to earn the bonus points.

If you don't use the code during the initial setup you will not have a chance to go back and input it later. 

Once you download the Checkpoints app you'll be greeted by this screen. Choose the yellow Get Started button to set up your account.  

Click one of the options to start the tutorial process and earn 2 points.

Scan an item (literally anything around you with a bar code, to earn an additional 12 points.

Pick your "favorite" reward option to earn an additional points. It doesn't matter which reward you  pick, you'll be able to redeem for whichever you want later. 

I suggest registering with an email address. You don't need to worry about using your main email address, I've been part of Checkpoints for years and have never received any spam emails from them. Fill in your contact information and choose a password. 

Be sure to enter "bonuscode2013" in the bonus code box when you create your account. You won't have a chance to go back later and use a referral code to earn bonus points. 

(The maximum bonus you can receive from a promotion code/bonus code when signing up was recently lowered to 50 from 300)

Bonus code for free points - BonusCode2013

When you register you'll be given an option to apply a promotion code, sometimes referred to as a promo code but also seen as a 'bonus code' in the checkpoints app. Enter 'pointslou' here to receive 300 50* free checkpoints points - enough to already redeem for a few rewards.

(The maximum bonus you can receive from a promotion code/bonus code when signing up was recently lowered to 100, then 50, from 300)

Adding Other Reward Accounts

You can connect a few of your other loyalty programs to your Checkpoints to receive bonuses. If you add your British Airline frequent flyer code you'll get 1000 Avios points for example. I've also read that if you connect your SwagBucks account you'll get 6 Swagucks (another site that lets you win free Amazon gift cards and other cool stuff) every month that you scan at least one item. Gotta love double dipping!

To add your loyalty programs go to settings (gear symbol on the top right. And click "My Loyalty Programs."
















From there simply pick which loyalty program(s) you wish to connect and enter your code.
