Do you have trouble staying off of your cell phone during class time? Interested in earning prizes by just attending class and staying off of your phone? Well, guess what? Now there is an application that exists that can give you the incentive to stay of your phone. Thanks to Dr. Thompson who contacted the app company in Charlotte, we are able to use Pocket Points at Catawba. She requested that Catawba College be one of the launch colleges, so Catawba is one of just a few in the state to currently have Pocket Points.

An application called Pocket Points, accessible through download in the App Store makes this really exciting for students. All you have to do is download the app and create an account. Part of signing up on Pocket Points consists of selecting your college or university. You then check in when you are in class and start gaining points. Once you begin to receive a lot points you can win prizes.

You must remember that you have to be in an academic building on campus for the app to work; you are not allowed to just be in your dorm room.

The participating locations as of right now to win prizes in Salisbury are Domino’s Pizza, Jersey Mikes, and DJ’s Restaurant.

Pocket Points emphasizes how you can earn more for doing less!

This is such a great tool for students and even professors you have trouble having students stay off of their cell phones. So stop wasting time, download the app, and start earning points to win prizes!
