How do I earn points?
Every month there are new challenges added to the DVLUP program. Each challenge earns you points. When I registered today, here are two of the challenges that were listed.
The LockScreen challenge (1300 points)
This challenge is to create an app that allows the user to add their own information to the lock screen of their Lumia, so that it’s available to anyone who finds the phone. The user can decide what information they want to display, such as medical information, contact details, or even just a personal note in the event they lose their phone.
Register for the NEXT APP STAR challenge (100 points)
Microsoft has launched a new contest with a very special top prize – featured placement of the winner’s app in a Windows Phone primetime TV ad in the U.S. You’ll get 100 points just for registering with at least one eligible app and you can earn up to 10,000 points if you move forward and win the whole thing!
What rewards can I get?
When I registered, these were some of the rewards listed. When you register you can see the full list of rewards.
