Flow of earning points
First, “Miles” are earned in two main ways. Next, exchange “miles” for “points”.
How to earn miles
You move around with your smartphone. That’s all you need to do to earn miles.
There are two ways to earn miles
1、Measuring the distance of travel
The first method is to earn miles by the distance traveled. In this method, you can use any means of transportation. It can be by car, train, or plane, etc.
Use the start page for this.
In this case, for every 10 km traveled, one tank is filled. Initially, you have three empty tanks. Thus, you can fill up a maximum of three tanks in one day. You can earn miles for the three tanks a day at maximum.
If the tanks do not accumulate even after you move, it is possible that the location measurement has failed.
When you fill your tank to 100%, you earn miles. How to do this is described below.
