>>--Merits--<<
Merits are used in team competitions. To participate in these competitions you first need to find a team. Go to the Compete tab at the top of the page, and select Team Competitions. When you get there you'll have the option to either join or create a team. If you want to join someone else's team, you'll need to find one with less than 5 members. After you click to join, you're not a part of the team until the leader of that team approves you. If you're not approved just find another team or create one of your own. A lot of the teams have their own requirements for new members so if you're not accepted, ask why and you might just have to get more merits. If you decide to create your own team, you should know that for each member you add, 50 merits will be deducted from your team's tally so if one joins, you'll start out negative 50 merits. Many new members have asked me if merits can be converted to points or cash... no, sorry. That'd be great but it's not allowed.
Merits can be won off of the Spin2Win, while its not a guarantee that's usually all I win. Also merits are given for merit quests. For example, when you reach so many forum posts or complete a hundred offers, things like that. When you reach these milestones you'll receive merits automatically added to your account.
