We love our readers. You guys show us love, and we want to give you some sweet sweet lovin' right back. SUMOskinny recognizes that without our loyal peeps we would be just another tumbleweed in the desert. So we felt that it was only fair for us to give somethin' back, and since traveling the globe to give all you guys the big bear hugs you deserve would take too much time, we're giving you cool prizes instead. 

Now, every time you socialize on SUMOskinny, which we are sure you already do, you get points. Read a story? Get some points.  Share a story? Get more points. Invite your friends?  Get even more points. Then take your points to the shop and spend 'em on whatever stuff you want, like SUMOskinny swag, or JetBlue cash, or an iPad, and many other things.

Yup, that's right.  Read the site, get an iPad. Then read the site on the iPad, get more points and get a flight to Japan. Then you can read the site on your iPad in Japan and get even more points so you can get some sweet SUMOskinny shades for your special eyes. It's that simple (because when your dealing with college kids, simple is always the way to go. Trust us we know).

Here's the full run down on how to bank points:

- Liking articles on Facebook 

- Tweeting articles

- Reading articles

- "Thumbs Upping" articles

- Commenting on posts

- Inviting your friends to join SUMO

- Filling in your member profile

- Following your favorite contributors

- Selecting your favorite topics to follow for the My Skinny section

- and we may have forgotten a few, so play around and see what hits

So have at it, go log in and start racking up those points.  Racks on racks on racks kids, rack on racks on racks.
