Clarification on Points Accumulation for Champion Milestone

[devileyes]

I wanted to clarify how points accumulation works for milestones. If I start earning points in January (e.g., 10 points in January, 15 in February, and so on), and I accumulate 78 points by May without redeeming any, will I be able to use all these points together in May to claim the Champion Milestone?

Additionally, will the points I earned in earlier months (e.g., January and February) still be valid in May if I haven’t redeemed them yet?

Milestones are tied to the Arcade seasons: This means that the points you earn towards milestones are likely reset at the start of each new Arcade season, just like Arcade points. 

Applying this to your example:

If you start earning points in January and accumulate 78 points by May, whether you can use all those points for a "Champion Milestone" in May depends on the Arcade season:

• If the Arcade season ends before May: You will not be able to use all 78 points. The points earned before the season ends will be reset, and you'll start accumulating points for the new season from scratch.
• If the Arcade season continues through May: You will likely be able to use all 78 points towards the Champion Milestone, as long as you meet the other requirements for that milestone.

Key takeaway: The timing of the Arcade seasons is crucial. You need to know when a season starts and ends to understand how your milestone points accumulate and when they might be reset.

The Arcade campaign runs twice a year, with two cohorts:

1. January to June
2. July to December

You have a 6-month period in each cohort to earn as many points as possible. All the points collected during a cohort can only be redeemed when the Prize Counter opens:

• July for the first cohort
• December for the second cohort

This means that if you’ve earned 75+ points between July 22, 2024, and December 25, 2024, you can redeem the Champions Milestone swags this season.

Once the Prize Counter closes, your points will reset to 0, as they are only valid until the counter's closing.

Hello @devileyes 

The shortest reply would be: 'Arcade points earned in a particular time period gets accumulated and together can be used at the prize counter at the end of that same season if and only if the said time period falls in the same season of the Arcade games'; the closing of the prize counter is like a reset switch to your accumulated points, after which it's all zero.

E.g.: For January-June season of 2024, all points earned from January 2024 till June 2024 (neither before the start nor after the end of the season) will be counted for prize counter of June/July 2024, but not of December/January 2024 or any later season, it gets 'expired' as soon as the June/July prize counter closes.
