Horsepower Reward Points are the virtual currency of the Rides.com Social Network. Members earn Horsepower reward points by participating in the online community and can be redeemed in a variety of ways from online upgrades, to prizes, and tickets to live events! As members earn Horsepower they will also achieve higher ranks and badges which will build status and credibility within the community. From time to time we may also award cash or prizes to users who earn the most Horsepower Points over a specified period of time (i.e. Top Horsepower earner of the month). The chart below outlines the various ways you can earn Horsepower:
