Neighbor Pts & Tiers
OneRoof’s new point-based system recognizes and rewards neighbors who engage in positive interactions, lead productive conversations, organize real life gatherings, invite more members, and add value to their neighbor community.
You will earn Neighbor Points based on your participation, contribution, and engagement in your neighbor community. You can see your total Neighbor Points on your profile page in OneRoof. You will reach a Tier by collecting enough Neighbor Points required to unlock that Tier. You can also see on your profile page how many Neighbor Points you are away from unlocking the next Tier!
Neighbor Points will appear on your profile within 24-48 hours. For example, if you invited a neighbor to join your OneRoof community using the in-app invite link, the Neighbor Points for inviting a new member will appear on your profile within 24-48 hours after your invitee joins. There is one exception- Neighbor Points that you collect for creating an event (through the Events feature) will only appear after the event is complete and if you had a min of 1 RSVP.
If your Neighbor Points still do not appear after 48 hours or after you host your event with at least 1 RSVP, please quit and re-open the app. I
f you think some points are still missing, please reach out to support@oneroofapp.com
Yes if you move your account directly on the app! If you’re moving into a new building, go to Settings (in OneRoof app) and scroll to ‘Join new community’. You can move your account to your new neighbor community from there. Once you move your account, your Neighbors Points and Tier will directly transfer as well!
Important: If you sign up again using another email, we are NOT able to transfer your old Neighbor Points and Tier to your new account.
You may have lost points if you deleted your account, created a new account using a different email, deleted your event before it occurred, or had content posted removed due to community guidelines.
If you believe there was a mistake please email support@oneroofapp.com
No, they are yours forever!
As a contributor of your neighbor community, you earn Neighbor Points when you start or participate in conversations, invite new neighbors to join (via app), welcome new members by waving, create an IRL event, engage with neighbors and more. Neighbor Points that you collect lead to you moving up Tiers the unlock special badges and rewards. Your badges and Tier will be visible to other neighbors so you can get wider acknowledgement! If the Tier you unlocked has special rewards, you will be alerted via email, so please make sure that you are subscribed and that the emails don't end up in your spam folder.
To determine how many points you have accumulated to redeem, please email support@oneroofapp.com. We will build this into the platform shortly to provide a more seamless experience.
At the moment, rewards are exclusively available to OneRoof neighbors who reside in the United States and are adhering to our Community Guidelines. If we discover that you have violated these guidelines, we reserve the right to decline your request for redemption.
