Achievements & Challenges

Achievements are permanent badges for milestones. They come in four rarity tiers — Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary — and unlock automatically the moment you qualify, with a celebration notification. Each achievement also pays out its point value into your balance when you unlock it — a one-time payout, so a badge is worth both bragging rights and spendable points.

A taste of what's out there:

• Welcome Aboard — update your profile for the first time; Getting Started — complete onboarding
• Review Writer — write 5 reviews; Community Critic — 25 reviews
• Business Builder — add 3 businesses to the directory
• Daily Visitor — a 7-day streak; Dedication Master — 100 days; WABA Legend — a full year
• Point Master — earn 5,000 lifetime points; WABA Champion — 25,000
• Growth Ambassador — refer 5 friends

The Achievements page shows everything you've unlocked, what's still locked, your progress toward each, and your rarest badge.

Challenges are short-term goals that pay bonus points on completion. Three kinds rotate:

• Daily — refresh every day. Examples: write a review today (+25), send 5 messages (+20), visit 3 businesses (+30).
• Weekly — refresh every Monday. Examples: 20 community interactions (+100), create 5 pieces of content (+150), a 10-review marathon (+200).
• Special — longer limited-time events, like a new-member welcome bonus (+100) or big community pushes worth up to 1,000 points.

Open Rewards → Challenges to see what's active, your live progress bars, and time remaining. Your rewards dashboard highlights the challenge you're closest to finishing under "Next up".

There's nothing to claim — it's all automatic. Do the activity, and the moment you cross the finish line the challenge completes itself: bonus points hit your balance and a "Challenge Completed!" notification confirms it. Same with achievements — badges unlock on their own as you hit milestones.

• Check daily challenges each morning — they're usually things you'd do anyway.
• Challenges and base points stack: a review during a review challenge earns the review points and challenge progress at once.
• Streak achievements reward consistency more than volume — a small daily habit beats a weekend binge.
