StudyBlue.com's Fall 2009 Reward Program

StudyBlue's Royal Blue Program

Royal Blue Program gives users that use quality files to give crowns to the student that uploaded the file. Everyone can see the number of crowns you have earned and will show your royal status. There is also a leaderboard for your school and the entire StudyBlue.com network. The crowns are different for the number of users that find the quality files valuable. The student earns 1 crown for every 3 users that find the quality file valuable [3 or 4 stars] . Crown chart shows different crowns for 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, and 500. The top 3 students in each school earn $100 at the end of the semester.

Fall 2009 Jump Start Rewards Program

Incentive for students to share study material and invite friends to the site. The limit for each student this semester is 300 dollars.

For every 3 classmates giving positive rating [3 or 4 stars] or earning 1 crown gives $0.50. An online that has auto-generated flashcard decks earns double bonus. There is a limit to the number of bonus per note or deck, which is 2 Bonuses. No content limit. Referrals for classmates earn you $1.00, but an extra $1.00 is also given if the classmate converts to Premium Services within 48 hours. Invite friends using your code through flyers and email.
