Svoi Plyusy: Gifts and Tasks Bot

There are so many loyalty programs around that it is easy to get lost: points here, cashback there, gifts for reasons nobody remembers. "Svoi Plyusy" gathers it all in one place, and the Telegram bot works as a shortcut to the program's tasks, gifts and promo codes. 🎁

Here is what the program is, how levels and seasons work, and what the bot does in this scheme.

What the bot collects

The bot description is short: gifts and tasks from Svoi Plyusy, the loyalty program of Yandex. The only command is /start, which restarts the bot.

That means the bot does not try to be a separate service. It opens the entrance to the program right from the chat, and the main actions happen inside the program.

How the Svoi Plyusy program works

• Tasks. A participant completes personal tasks and gets rewards for them.
• Gifts and promo codes. Rewards include promo codes, entries into weekly draws and bonuses tied to the Plus subscription.
• Levels. The higher the level, the more benefits: extra cashback, tasks and promo codes.
• Seasons. Activity is recalculated every three months, levels are refreshed and the set of benefits changes.

Points do not turn into money and do not carry over to the next season. Keep that in mind when deciding whether the tasks are worth your effort.

Who can take part

It used to be that only Plus subscribers could do tasks and collect points. Now any user can join. Participation is free, and you need a Yandex account to sign in.

The bot helps with sign-in in this scheme: on launch it links Telegram to your account. Enter login data only on pages that opened from the bot.

Getting the most with little effort

1. Visit the program regularly: tasks refresh, and the season is time-limited.
2. Read the terms of each task before you start.
3. Use promo codes before they expire.
4. Watch your level, since it affects the cashback size.

Who it is really useful for

If you already use the services of this ecosystem, the program gives a bonus for familiar actions. Tasks usually fit what you do anyway.

If you barely use its services, changing your habits for points is hardly worth it. The gain will be small while the time spent grows.

Where the catch is

A loyalty program nudges you to use the company's services. That is normal, but the benefit must be real: work out what you would have spent without it.

Do not buy unneeded things for points. Cashback returns part of the amount; it does not make a purchase free.

Staying safe at sign-in

The bot and the authorization page belong to one ecosystem, but fakes still turn up. Make sure you open the official bot, and never send passwords or SMS codes in a chat.

If someone asks you to pay "to receive a prize" or to follow a link with an unfamiliar address, close the conversation. Genuine program rewards do not require money. 🔒
