Bonuses and Loyalty Program
In the Hub section, you have access to a new and advanced rewards system, where you earn points for every trade you make, whether opening or closing a position. This system is designed not only to encourage you to be more active in the market but also to allow you to convert your earned points into real, withdrawable cash rewards.
How Do You Receive Rewards?
With every trade, you earn two types of points:
- Tier Points:
- These points are used to upgrade your rank within the loyalty program.
- Reward Points:
- These points can be converted into cash and deposited into your trading account.
The number of points you earn depends on your loyalty level. The higher your level, the more points you earn for the same trade volume.
Viewing Points for Each Instrument
To view the number of reward points assigned to each instrument in the user area:
- Go to the Rewards section, and in the first level, opposite Tier Points, you will find a link titled “Earn Tier Points.”
- By clicking this link, you will see the details of points earned for each instrument.
- Each instrument has its own category, and for every trade (opening and closing a position), a specific number of points is granted.
These points are calculated in real time—meaning for every opened or closed position, points are immediately added to your account.
Real Example of Reward Calculation
Suppose you are a trader with VIP level and you open a 1-lot trade on oil. Normally, this trade generates 520 Tier Points. But in the VIP level, the reward multiplier is ×2. Therefore:
520 × 2 = 1,040 reward points are credited to your account.
Loyalty Program Levels
Alpari’s loyalty program includes 7 levels:
- Entry
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- VIP
- VIP Expert
- VIP Master
The higher your level, the faster you earn points, and the more valuable the rewards become.
Key features of this system:
● You can convert your reward points into cash at any time, without limitations on amount or date.
● Every 500 points equals 1 USD.
● The converted amount is deposited directly into your trading account and is withdrawable or usable in new trades.
With every trade you make, you move one step closer to a higher level and greater rewards. At Alpari, your loyalty is valuable—and now you can convert it into real profit.
