			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>To kick start the new rewards program, we offered a few super-charged incentives to get the community excited (and earning lots of points) for answering questions asked by other people researching products online.<br />
<br />
This incentive will move to its standard rate in soon. <br />
<br />
Beginning Monday, November 2nd you will have the opportunity to earn rewards for up to 20 questions and will earn 25 points per question that you answer. Not to worry though, because we will double the number of questions you can earn points for answering. <br />
 <br />
We’ve been thrilled with all the information sharing going on within the community and thank you for helping others make smart buying decisions.  Keep up the good work!<br />
 <br />
Thanks,<br />
The EXPO Team</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
We've made a change to the way you will see your point earnings displayed in your profile. <br />
<br />
Points now have two different statuses: <b>Pending</b>, and <b>Available for Redemption</b>. Points will be held in Pending status for 72 hours after they are earned. This allows us adequate time to screen your video uploads and other point-earning activities to make sure that our community standards are being met. <br />
<br />
Once the 72 hours have passed, your Pending points will become available for redemption so that you can exchange them for cool stuff in the Expo Store.<br />
<br />
If you have any specific questions about your point earnings, please fill out our <a href="http://www.expotv.com/about/contact" target="_blank">Contact Us</a> form.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
-Sarah</div>
