Upgrading Our Rewards: Introducing a Sleeker, Faster Loyalty Program!

Hey everyone!
As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize our store's performance, streamline operations, and give you a cleaner, more reliable experience, we are officially migrating our rewards system to a brand-new, lightweight framework.
If you’ve noticed the site loading a bit snappier lately, this upgrade is a major reason why! We’ve stripped away heavy background database clutter to focus entirely on what matters most: keeping your rewards accurate, lightning-fast, and natively built right into your account dashboard.
Here is the full breakdown of how this new system works, the advantages it brings to you, and how your current points are moving over.
🚀 The Advantages: What’s Changing & Why It’s Better
Zero Points Expiration: We are completely removing points expiration. Moving forward, your active points are yours to keep indefinitely—no ticking clocks, sudden resets, or pressure to spend before you are ready.
Earn Points Even on Reward Orders: Under the old system, if you used a coupon on an order, you couldn't earn any new points on that checkout. With our new system, even if you redeem a reward coupon, you will still earn points on the remaining cash balance of your order, helping you climb back up the ranks faster!
A Clean, Native Interface: The old, distracting floating launcher widget is gone. Instead, you'll find a clean, beautifully integrated Rewards tab embedded directly into your native My Account profile menu.
📐 Streamlining to our New 2-Tier System
To keep our database lean and fast, we are condensing our previous four-level setup into two highly focused, tech-branded tiers. Just like before, your level is determined strictly by your current, remaining active wallet points.
Our baseline conversion rate remains exactly the same: 100 Points = ₱1. Here is how our previous point ranges map onto the new system:
Level 1: The Circuit Artisan (0 to 9,999 Points)
How it maps: This tier covers everyone who was previously in The Breadboarder (0–8,000 points), as well as the lower half of our previous The Circuit Weaver tier.
The Perks: Everyone here receives a solid baseline earning rate of ₱1 spent = 1 Point (a clean 1% cashback equivalent).
Level 2: The System Architect (10,000+ Points)
How it maps: We are significantly lowering the barrier to entry for our top tier! Previously, you needed 80,000 points to be an Architect, and 22,001 to 79,999 points to be an Integrator. Now, you unlock our ultimate milestone title, The System Architect, at just 10,000 points!
The Perks: Architects earn points at an accelerated 1.5× multiplier (₱1 spent = 1.5 Points) for a generous 1.5% cashback equivalent on your bench supplies!
💡 Managing Your Ranks (The Familiar "Buffer" Rule)
Since our tiering system still looks at your live active wallet balance rather than lifetime earnings, the exact same strategy you used in the past applies here:
If you are a System Architect sitting at 12,000 points and you decide to redeem a ₱50 coupon (which costs 5,000 points), your balance will drop to 7,000 points. This will temporarily return you to a Circuit Artisan until your balance crosses the 10,000-point line again.
To keep your 1.5× earning multiplier active, remember to build up a safe point "buffer" before cashing in your rewards! Because you now earn points on the remaining cash balance of a reward order, rebuilding that buffer is faster and easier than ever before.
🔍 Head's Up on Past History Logs
We have safely migrated your live active point balances directly into the new system, so your current "wallet" total is fully intact.
However, because the old plugin stored past transaction records in a completely different database layout, your past itemized historical log timeline will start fresh today. Rest assured, your Current Available Points are completely accurate.
We actually have exactly 7 power users whose active balances have already cleared the new 10,000-point mark and are launching directly into the System Architect tier today—congratulations to our inaugural Architects!
For everyone else, head over to your new dashboard profile tab to see exactly how close you are to grabbing that 1.5× multiplier on your next workshop haul.
Thanks for building with us, and happy making! Let us know if you have any questions below.

🚀 Follow-Up Post: Level Up Your Workshop! Introducing Our New Tier Ranks, Engagement Rewards & The MakerPH Space
Hey everyone!
Following our recent transition to the new, lightning-fast MakerPH rewards framework, we’ve been listening closely to your feedback. We wanted to make sure our ranking system reflects the true spirit of engineering and maker culture, while giving you more ways to earn points beyond just checking out.
Today, we are thrilled to roll out a major update featuring brand-new engineering tier ranks, community rewards.
Here is a full breakdown of what’s new, how the tiers work, and how you can start racking up points:
1. ⚙️ Meet Your New Maker Ranks & Tier Levels
We’ve revamped our progression tiers with a fresh, tech-inspired identity that tracks your journey from a hobbyist bench worker to a master builder. Your rank is dynamically determined by your live, unspent Available Balance (Reward Points):
Level 1: Novice Maker (0+ Points)
The Vibe: Your journey starts here on the workbench.
The Perks: Solid baseline earning rate of 1.0× multiplier on all store purchases.
Level 2: Circuit Tinkerer (2,500+ Points)
The Vibe: You’re soldering wires, tweaking modules, and building custom electronics.
The Perks: Unlocks an accelerated 1.1× points multiplier plus an automatic 1% storewide discount on your orders!
Level 3: Robotics Engineer 5,000+ Points)
The Vibe: Designing chassis, programming microcontrollers, and wiring motors.
The Perks: Steps up your earnings with a 1.2× points multiplier and a generous 2% storewide discount.
Level 4: Dohyo Legend (10,000+ Points)
The Vibe: The ultimate arena champion. Your builds dominate the ring.
The Perks: Maximum prestige with a 1.3× points multiplier and an elite 3% storewide discount on all future supplies!
💡 Quick Strategy Reminder: Because ranks are tied to your Reward Points (Ready to spend), redeeming points for a cart discount will lower your balance and may temporarily adjust your active tier until you earn your way back up. Build a safe point "buffer" to keep those top-tier discounts and multipliers permanently active!
2. ⚡ New Ways to Earn Points in The MakerPH Space & Beyond
Building cool robots and electronics shouldn't just happen at checkout. We’ve automated a series of reward triggers to give back to those who contribute to our community:
The MakerPH Space: Got a custom project build guide, a troubleshooting question, or a killer schematic to share? Whenever you start a new discussion topic in The MakerPH Space, our community forum, the system automatically drops bonus points straight into your wallet!
1st Purchase Bonus: Placing your very first order with us? You’ll automatically receive a special introductory bonus to help fund your next build.
Milestone 5th Order Bonus: Consistency is key! Every 5th completed order (5th, 10th, 15th, etc.) triggers an automatic milestone bonus celebration.
Write a Product Review: Tested out a motor driver, sensor module, or wheel kit? Once your product review is approved on the store, you'll earn instant points for sharing your honest feedback.
3. Inside Your New "My Maker Rank" Hub
Head over to your WooCommerce account and click on the new ⭐ My Maker Rank tab. You'll find a sleek, modern dashboard featuring:
Live Progress Bar: Instantly see how many points you need to level up to the next engineering tier.
Dual Stat Tracking: Clear visibility of your spendable Reward Points vs. your lifetime Total Earned achievement score.
Full Tier Roadmap Table: A complete breakdown of all four tiers, multipliers, and discounts so you always have a clear target in sight.
Itemized Activity Log: A transparent timeline showing every single point earned or spent, complete with dates, reasons, and updated balances.
Log In and Check It Out!
Your points, history logs, and tiers are fully active and synced. Head over to your dashboard profile tab to see where you stand, and join the conversation over in The MakerPH Space to start earning points for your next topic post.
Thanks for building with us, and happy making, everyone!
