Kudos Points on GMATClub Forum

Even though i have shared some of the posts on my twitter account, i have still not received the kudos?

What are Kudos? Kudos are a reflection of quality of contributions at GMATClub as perceived by GMATClub members.

How to get more Kudos?

• You can add schools and fill out your GMAT Club profile and that will net you 5 Kudos right away.
• You can be helpful in the forums and respond to people's questions (any forum works but Math Forum and Verbal Forum seem to get the most)
• You can create really helpful/cool/unique posts that will benefit others e.g.:
  Guide to AWA - 1500+ Kudos
  GMAT Study Plan - 900+ Kudos
  From 550 to 750 Debrief - 650+ Kudos
  PS/DS Question Collection - 550+ Kudos
  And other posts - see here

If you have suggestions or comments about the Kudos system, please do not hesitate to PM me. Thank you.

Hello bb,

I would like to create a post (in which I upload my thoroughly detailed manhattan book notes) and share it with the whole GmatClub community. My goal is to help people that will take their GMAT soon and that do not have time to go through all 5 manhattan maths books, and hopefully get 17 more kudos to redeem the 3 months subscription. Can you direct me through the steps to create a new post?

Thanks,
Moulay

Need 17 Kudos

Hi. That would be great. Please navigate to any forum(for your post, I would suggest General GMAT Questions and Strategies) and in the upper left hand side, click "New Topic" - big orange button. Can't miss it.

Thank you for your question. Give it a bit of time. PM me please if you don't get any within 24 hrs and the post you have shared on Twitter. Thank you!

What can I use Kudos for?

• You can use Kudos to find the best posts on GMAT Club - we publish lists of the posts with most Kudos here: Top Forum Posts.

• You can also give Kudos to others - when you click a +1 button to award Kudos, the receiver gets a notification about your award. It works much better than posting a short line saying "Thanks"
• You can use Kudos to get access to the GMAT Club tests. If you have 25 kudos, you can get full access to the gmat club tests for 3 months. Once you hit this milestone milestones, please visit this page: https://gmatclub.com/tests-beta/redeem-kudos.html

- Kudos are collected when somebody clicks +1 button. If you benefit from somebody's post, do click +1, which will increase that score, both for the user and for the post.
- Only positive Kudos can be given.
- You can give only one Kudos point to a single post. After you give that point, there is no way to withdraw it or award another one. The +1 button will be removed from the posts you have awarded Kudos.
- Kudos given are usually displayed with a delay of approximately 10 minutes due to caching.
- Kudos inflation and cheating is punished by banning
- One user can only give 5 Kudos to another user
- You get free 5 Kudos by filling out your school/applicant profile and information
- We have started giving Kudos for sharing posts on FB and Twitter

Hi bb,
Hope you're well brother. I've used my promo code, and it works perfectly. But, I can't upgrade the 18,000+ question. I've sent you (PM) screen shot, which is shown when I tried to upgrade my toolkit. Many many thanks for your kind help.

Please try again. Your GMAT Toolkit should work now.

Hi bb

I saw somewhere on the forum that by adding the schools in his/her profile a user can get +5 kudos.
Is it still valid?

Regards
SR

I was checking out the 'Redeem Rewards' section and by mistake clicked on the 'Trade for 1 Kudos' option and lost 10 points.

I was hoping to use my points to redeem a different reward. May i know if the 10 points i just lost can be gotten back in anyway or if i could use these points to access a different reward?
