Points Accumulation

Frequently Asked Questions

As long as you are registered with the C2C mobile app, you are automatically a participant of the point accumulation programme.

“Flowers” is our name for points, which are accumulated by you when using the C2C mobile application. You can accumulate these points as long as you use the C2C mobile app, even during non-special event days. Accumulated Flowers can be used to redeem chances to win attractive prizes during C2C Special Events.

Flowers received will be converted to winning chances when you participate in a C2C Special Event. For example, a user can redeem 1 winning chance by converting 1000 Flowers to 1 winning chance during the special event. So, if you have accumulated 2000 Flowers, you can redeem your flowers for 2 chances to win the prizes. The exact number of chances you can redeem with Flowers will be released closer to the event date. Stay tuned!
