Building your SimplyCodes profile: Badges, levels, and community recognition

Want to make the most of your SimplyCodes experience while helping others save money? Building your SimplyCodes profile is a fun way to track your savings contributions, earn recognition, and potentially receive rewards for helping the community find working promo codes.

This guide explains everything you need to know about the SimplyCodes profile system—from earning badges and leveling up to increasing your savings impact score and getting rewarded for your contributions.

Your SimplyCodes profile: More than just a username

Your SimplyCodes profile showcases your journey as a savings contributor and reflects your involvement in the community. Here's what makes up your profile:

• Level and IP: Shows your experience and activity on the platform

• Badges (Stickers): Visual representations of your specific achievements

• Savings impact score: Measures how much you've helped others save

• Contribution history: Tracks your code submissions, tests, and savings tips

By building your profile, you not only gain recognition but also increase your chances of earning rewards through helpfulness grants and other community benefits.

How to level up your SimplyCodes profile

SimplyCodes uses an impact points (IP) system to track your progression through different levels. Each level represents greater experience and trust within the community.

How to earn IP

Level progression thresholds

Your level appears on your profile and is visible whenever you contribute codes or savings tips, giving you recognition within the community for your expertise and involvement.

Collecting badges (stickers) on your profile

Stickers are achievement badges that showcase your expertise and contributions in different areas. They're displayed on your profile and add a fun element of accomplishment to your SimplyCodes journey.

Here's how to earn each sticker:

Understanding your savings impact score

The savings impact score is a key metric that measures how much your contributions help other users save money. It's calculated using a formula that combines:

• Deal quality (how good the discounts are)

• Deal popularity (how many people use the codes you've added)

• Verification activity (how often you test and verify codes)

You can view your savings impact score by clicking your profile icon in the dashboard tab.

Viewing and tracking your progress

You can monitor your progress in building your profile in several places:

In the mobile app

• Profile tab: View your level, badges, and overall stats

• Contribute tab: See your savings impact score and contribution history

• Tokens tab: Track tokens earned

On the website

• My Account section: Access your profile information

• Token History: View tokens earned and redeemed
