FAQ
Quick answers.
Do points expire?
Yes. Every Gem Point expires 12 months from the date it was earned. Redemption is first-in-first-out so older points get spent before newer ones, keeping your balance fresh automatically. Expiry-warning email reminders will land in a follow-up update.
When do points clear into my balance?
Buyer points credit when the order completes: when the buyer confirms receipt, or when the 14-day dispute window closes. Seller points credit on the same trigger. Bonus points credit instantly for daily-login / collection-add type triggers, and within 24 hours for first-time milestones.
What happens to my points if I get a refund?
If a refund is issued, any Gem Points earned from that order are reversed via a refund_reversal ledger entry.
Can I gift or transfer points to another user?
No. Points are tied to your account.
Where do I see my activity?
Your Gem Points Vault on your profile shows your current balance, lifetime earned, an activity feed of recent transactions, and expiry warnings for upcoming batches.
