Los puntos Shein son dinero — literally. Every 100 points is equivalent to $1 discount applicable to your next purchase. And what's most interesting: you can accumulate points without spending a penny, using the app's free functions.
It won't make you rich, but monthly $1-3 combined points with coupons and the tester program can add up to considerable savings.
All ways to earn points
Shein offers multiple ways to accumulate points:
| Activity | Points per action | Frequency | Esfuerzo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily check-in | 2-5 points | Daily | 5 seconds |
| Review with text | 5 points | By purchase | 5 minutes |
| Review with photos | 10-20 points | By purchase | 10 minutes |
| Buy | 1 point for $1 | By purchase | Variable |
| Mini-games | 1-10 points | Daily | 2-5 minutes |
| Mentioned | 100-500 points | By a friend | Variable |
| Verify email | 100 points | Once | 1 minute |
The daily check-in and reviews with photos are the most efficient ways to earn points without spending money.
How much money do you make without buying anything?
Calculating free activities for a month:
| Source | Points/month | Equivalent in $ |
|---|---|---|
| Daily check-in (30 days × 3 average points) | 90 | $0.90 |
| Reviews with photos (5 × 15 average points) | 75 | $0.75 |
| Mini-games (15 days × 5 points) | 75 | $0.75 |
| **Total monthly without purchase** | **240** | **$2.40** |
In one year, that's approximately $29 in sales generated solo with check-in, reviews and games. It's not a fortune, but it's real money that accumulates silently.
Strategies to maximize points
Consecutive check-in: check-in points increase on consecutive days. Breaking the split resets the counter. Checking in at the same time every day (for example, when you wake up) creates a habit.
Tester product reviews: each product you receive for free from the tester program generates points for publishing the review. It's double benefit: free product + points for the review.
Mini-games with time limit: Dedicate 2-3 minutes a day to games on the app. Don't try to win everyone — the goal is to accumulate basic points quickly.
Expiration Rules
Points won't last forever:
- Points for purchases and reviews: expires 365 days after receipt
- Points per daily check-in: expire in 30 days
- Points for special events: variable expiration date (review in “Mis Puntos”)
Check-in points are the most urgent — if you don't use them within 30 days, they are lost. The recommendation is to review the balance monthly and use the points that are about to expire on the next purchase.
Combining points with coupons
The best way to use points is to combine them with coupons in the same purchase:
1. Accumulate points over 2-3 months 2. Wait for a high-value coupon (special event, first purchase of the month) 3. Apply coupon + points on the same order 4. Discount order is: base price → VIP discount → coupon → points
A real example: product of $25 → coupon of -$5 → 300 points (-$3) = you pay $17 instead of $25. And if this product is also on flash offer, the total savings are even greater.
