Using the Rewards Tab

  • Updated

The Rewards feature is part of Calendar Plus. You must be subscribed to Calendar Plus to assign stars to chores or create Rewards.

Rewards is a feature that helps motivate family members by making their progress toward goals visible and trackable. Parents can assign values to chores, allowing both them and their kids to see how each completed task contributes toward earned rewards.

Every reward must be assigned to a Profile. Rewards are assigned to individual profiles so that each individual can track their progress to their assigned reward goal. When creating rewards, you can assign to multiple profiles, but the progress made toward those rewards will be separated by individual Profile.

Unredeemed rewards will be visible on the Skylight Calendar under the rewards tab unless deleted in the Skylight App. 

Rewards and stars can only be created, edited, and managed via the Skylight App. On the Calendar device, the rewards tab displays progress toward Reward goals and allows rewards to be redeemed once enough stars have been earned.

Tap the Rewards icon in the navigation bar.

If a Profile has enough stars to claim a reward, the reward will be shown with a Redeem button, showing how many stars will be redeemed for that reward.

If the Profile does not have enough stars to claim a reward, the button for that reward will show the user’s progress to the reward. 

Redeem a Reward

Redeem saved stars for a reward:

  1. Tap Rewards in the Navigation bar on the Calendar.
  2. Find your Profile.
    You may need to swipe depending on the number of profiles and the orientation of the Calendar.
  3. Tap the Redeem button associated with the Reward you want.
    Calendar will only show the Redeem button on Rewards you have enough stars for.

When a family member spends stars to redeem a reward, these stars are removed from that person’s Profile and cannot be used for another reward.
