There are no prizes for earning points. However, it is a way of seeing how often you answer and get a best answer response as you help people with their problems. Also you learn a great deal from both the Q's and A's and the points are just a way of making the whole process fun. I know I enjoy it a lot!!
Cheers!!

my friend earned a whole bunch of points, and he didn't report them on his income tax, and the goverment put him in jail for not reporting them, and now that he is out he has to give ten points a week to the goverment for the next five years.

it has no real value,its just used to get you to the next level,this whole point system is just a type of game to keep you interested.i guess you can say microsoft has its solitaire and yahoo has yahoo answers.

It simply shows how much knowledge you have and how freely you distribute this knowledge to others. It also shows about your helping nature. Much points means you're very helping to those who need.

No, but you are a Level 1 and I am a Level 4, which means I am three times cooler than you.

hahaha. welcome to ways to motivate ppl. dangle the carrot yahoo.
i don't think people would be on here answering questions if they didn't have a goal or ranking. yahoo is smart for implementing this point system.
