Learn about PostPoints

Basics

What is PostPoints and how does it work?

PostPoints is a new reader rewards program brought to you by The Washington Post.

PostPoints is one of the best rewards programs because it’s free and you'll earn Points for things you already do.

You’ll earn Points quickly, and you can redeem your Points right away or save them for something big.

Plus, if you are a Washington Post subscriber you'll get added benefits like access to the Washington Post archives back to 1877, exclusive invitations, savings and more – the best part of these benefits is that you don’t even have to use your Points to get them.

You can become a member because you’re a Washington Post reader. It’s that simple! Get ready to feel rewarded!

 

 

It’s Free

Your PostPoints membership is free!

If you are a seven-day home delivery Washington Post subscriber, you can become a Platinum PostPoints member. If you are a Sunday-only subscriber, you can become a Gold PostPoints member. If you buy single copies of The Washington Post, read washingtonpost.com or Express, you can become a Silver PostPoints member.
