How to earn BLOCS
All the different ways you can earn BLOCS on Bloc
BLOCS can be earned inside the BLOC app and there are various ways of earning them.
Checking in
Earn 3 BLOCS every day by checking in to a venue & physically attending it. You can earn 6 BLOCS if you visit an advertising venue.
When you check-in on Bloc you will create a check-in newsflash on your newsfeed. You will see a button ‘I’M HERE”. When you’re physically in the venue tap this button & we will do a location check. We actually do two checks, one check when you first tap ‘I’M HERE’ & a second one when the 2 minute timer goes down to 0.
If we track you’re in the venue and have been there for at least two minutes, we will give you 3 BLOCS.
Favourited
If another Bloc user favourites you, will you will receive 1 BLOC & they will lose 1 BLOC.
A favourite is the icon next to someones name. It’s a way of telling that person you really want to connect with them.
Favouriting someone can increase your chances of connecting, but remember it will cost you 1 BLOC each time.
Creating a Moment
A Moment is a photo or video you can create when you’re in the venue. If we successfully track you to a venue you can tap the ‘+’ and find the Moment feature.
If you successfully create a Moment you will receive 3 BLOCS.
It’s a fun way of sharing what you’re up to with friends.
Uploading a Bite
A Bite on Bloc is a short-form video you can upload to share your life’s best experiences & content.
You can upload a Bite for free if you link it to a venue you’ve recently visited and checked into on Bloc.
When you upload a Bite you will receive 3 BLOCS.
Inviting friends to Bloc
Bloc is better with friends, so give 5 BLOCS to every successful invite.
This is an excellent way of racking up BLOCS really quickly. 10 friends invited to Bloc = 50 BLOCS.
