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.

Watch the video to earn 1 more point

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)

The "Best" Bonus Code For Checkpoints

A number of people spend a lot of time searching for the best bonus code - that which will reward the user with the most points. It's as if they expect there to be a new code for 2013, or some secret to game the system. You'll find codes that the posters claim reward you with 10,000, even 15,000, points - don't do it. Truth be told you'll get some bonus out of it, the same 300 100 you'll find with any code out there. But why reward those that are lying and trying to game the system? (The bonus was 300 until recently when it was lowered to 100 and then lowered again to 50).

YouTube videos also abound with claims of codes worth up to $500. Yet, when the users show their screen they maybe have a few hundred points, not the tens of thousands they claim. Take a second and think about it. Would Checkpoints really spend hundreds of dollars just to get one new user? Of course not. .

I've created this site to help spread the word about Checkpoints. I try to keep up with the latest changes (new rewards or partners being added) and help others find with tips about how to maximize their earnings. And yes, if you've somehow missed it my bonus code is 'BonusCode2013.' You get the maximum bonus points out of it and I get a bonus for referring you. It's a win-win scenario. Is it the "best code?" I'd like to think so because it's owner tries to share good information with the Checkpoints community, but the point value is the same as every single code out there.
