the more points you have, the higher ranking you get. points add up really fast, so you will have a ton in no time! their are four rankings.... newbie, insider, all star, and elite. right now, i dont think anyone is an elite. the top rankings are all star and elite. these offer more samples [free], and you get notified sooner when their is a prize up for grabs!  you get points for writing reviews on products, commenting on videos and pictures that others have posted, signing in, and when you join the site you get 200 points. hope that cleared up some stuff! and be sure to comment on my profile [by clicking on the eye i have for my picture] if you have more questions!
