What Penny Points count, and what they do not
Palate Plus is the rewards screen for The Penny-Wise Palate. Paid membership billing is not open on this page, and the buttons here do not start a Stripe charge. The digital books are a separate $7.99 shop checkout. Points are an on-site counter. They are not cash, not store credit, and not a discount on the books.
The earn table printed on this page is specific. A daily login is listed at 5 points. Viewing a recipe is listed at 2 points. Saving a recipe is listed at 5 points. A review is listed at 15 points. Submitting a recipe is listed at 50 points. A Facebook share is listed at 10 points. A newsletter signup is listed at 25 points. A 7-day streak is listed as a 50-point bonus. The row labeled Palate Plus member says 2 times all points, and that multiplier applies only where an account already has an active membership record. This page will not sell you that record.
The level names are also printed here, with the point bands beside them. Penny Pincher is 0 to 499 points. Budget Boss is 500 to 1,499. Frugal Foodie is 1,500 to 3,999. Savings Sage is 4,000 to 9,999. Palate Legend is 10,000 points and above. Those bands are labels on the counter. They do not unlock a cash balance. The questions on this page say points unlock badges and levels, and that they do not replace a paid book purchase.
What this page will not bill
There is no monthly price and no annual price on this screen, because billing is closed. There is no free trial of a paid membership and no 7-day membership refund to claim, for the same reason. A free meal-plan email, where the site offers one, is a separate signup. It is not billed as Palate Plus. An existing book purchase follows the terms of service, not this rewards table.
If you are signed in, the page can show the point total, the level name, and a streak stored on the account. If you are not signed in, the counter is not available. Sign-in is an account screen and is not linked from this article. Points stay on the account while the rewards feature is available. They are not a balance you can withdraw.
Use the recipe index and the shop if you want a method or a PDF. Use this page only to read how the free point counter is structured. Questions go to hello@thepennywisepalate.com.
