The core of running & marathon point-earning is "route consumable-shoe and high-ticket gadget online purchases, and route race-trip lodging/transport too." Shoes are a consumable replaced by mileage, so routing each purchase builds up over the year. Race-trip lodging/transport is high-ticket, so booking routing pays. But choosing shoes that fit your feet and stride comes first — don't choose ill-fitting ones for points.
Cautions
- Prioritize shoes that fit your feet/stride: choosing ill-fitting shoes for points can cause injury. Put fit and purpose first.
- Mind forgetting to route (online purchases/bookings): gear shops and race-trip bookings earn zero unless routed. Route before buying/booking. Pointnavi.
- Enter races via official/authorized channels: enter via official sites/authorized routes. Resold entries cause trouble.
- Don't let points expire or scatter: consolidate each shop's grants into your main economy and use them up within the expiry. Expiry-prevention guide.
