# Award points for account sign-up

Award customers loyalty points when their loyalty account is enabled, using the Account Signup way to earn.

**Account Signup** awards a one-time bonus when a customer's loyalty account is enabled. It gives new members a points balance from day one.

#### How it works

Points are awarded when customers meet your membership criteria. This happens when their email is captured or when they create a store account, depending on **Member Participant Criteria**.

Customers do not need to reach a membership tier first.

#### Settings

* **Points awarded on signup** sets the one-time bonus.
* **Display name** and **Description** appear in storefront loyalty widgets.
* Set **Status** to **Active** and **Storefront widget display** to **Visible** for a launch.

{% hint style="info" %}
With store-account-only participation, guests do not receive this award until they create a store account.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.roadmap.so/loyalty-and-rewards/points-and-ways-to-earn/award-points-for-account-sign-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
