In a points home, kids can ask for one of your custom rewards from their own profile.
A Household Manager then approves or declines it.
Nothing is spent until it's approved.
Ask for a reward (for kids)
- On the Rewards tab, tap the gift icon at the top right.
- Tap the reward.
- Tap Ask for It, then confirm.
The reward now shows Requested until a parent answers.
A kid can ask when they have enough points, counting points they've already asked for in other requests.
They can ask for each reward once at a time.
To stop asking, tap the kid on the Rewards tab, then tap Cancel Request under Reward Requests.
Approve or decline a request
You need to be a Household Manager.
- On the Rewards tab, look for "1 reward request" under a kid's name.
- Tap the kid.
- Under Reward Requests:
- Tap Approve to open Redeem Rewards with the reward picked, then tap Redeem.
If they're short, you can add points under Need More Points?.
- Tap Decline, add a reply if you like, and tap Decline again.
When a kid asks, every phone where a Household Manager profile is selected gets a notification.
The kid gets a notification when the reward is redeemed or declined.
Troubleshooting
- There's no Ask for It button
Your home uses allowance instead of points, or a Household Manager profile is selected.
- "Not enough points yet."
Earn more points first. Points already asked for in other requests count too.
- "Already claimed."
It's a one-time reward that was already redeemed.
- "This request was already answered or cancelled."
Someone else answered it first. Pull down to refresh.
