Clarification on Points and Milestones in Cloud Skills Boost

[DataDrivenAlex]

Hi everyone,

I currently have 24 points in my Cloud Skills Boost profile, but I can’t earn any more points now. Does this mean I’ll only qualify for the Standard Milestone (15 points), and the remaining points won’t count toward the Advanced Milestone (30 points)?

I wasn’t aware that the deadline for earning points was December 25th, and unfortunately, I’ve been quite busy lately and dealing with various challenges.

What's the best thing for me to do? Could I not take the award now, but collect the missing points in the next round? Although it probably won't work because the expiry date is 6 months. And awards can be taken every 6 months too.

Here’s my profile for reference: Cloud Skills Boost Profile.

I’d appreciate any clarification or advice. Thank you!
Happy New Year 🙂

You should go for standard milestone as your whole 24 points would be wasted if you don't redeem swags when counter opens, you can join again next year in 2025 for other milestone but your remaining points won't be carried forward i.e you have to start from 0 in next cohort.

Hello @DataDrivenAlex 

As per rule you are eligible for standard milestone only and no points would be carried forward so all points will be expired in dec itself

You will get the standard Milestone as you have earned 24 points and also subscribed to Arcade. If you don't order them then it will be wasted and reset to 0 with the closing of Prize counter.
