Create and Redeem 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 family to see how each completed task contributes toward earned rewards.

This feature is only available with Calendar Plus subscription. If you wish to upgrade to Skylight Plus, please see https://myskylight.com/products/calendar-skylight-plus/

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 removed via the Skylight App. 

Select the Rewards icon to view and manage your rewards:

View Rewards

1. Open the Skylight Mobile App.
2. Tap Rewards.
3. Select the appropriate Profile.

The number of stars available for each Profile to redeem is listed under each Profile picture. The selected Profile will also show the available stars for that Profile under the Profile's name.

Rewards assigned to the Profile will appear on cards. If the profile has many rewards available, swipe to see more cards.

If you create a reward that renews after redeeming, it will be available again immediately as long as the Profile has enough stars to redeem it.
