You’re very welcome.(:

wat is the points for

You can cash them out for US money.

“Points are a way of indicating that you are a valid and trusted member of FunAdvice. You gain points by giving great answers, which are rated by other members, and posting videos, How To’s, and Tips. Members who have earned the most points within a 48 hour time period can be seen on the Leaderboard which is at the right side of the Question page.

Points can also be redeemed for U.S. dollars. The amount you can redeem depends on how many points you have - you must have 100 points remaining on your account to keep all your privileges that you’ve earned, so you won’t be able to redeem the entire amount (example; if you have 3000 points, which equals $300, you can only redeem $290/ 2900 points). You must have at least 250 points to redeem, and every 10 points is worth $1 US.

You can set up your point cash out by going to your profile page, then clicking on “My settings”. You can either use your PayPal email address or your home mailing address to receive a cheque. When requesting a cheque, please ensure that your full and legal name is submitted so that you can cash/deposit your money at your bank. Your account must be in good standing and active to qualify for cash for points.

Note: Cheques can only be issued to locations within the United States - to receive cash internationally, you will require a PayPal account.

We apologize, but at this time, members from India do not qualify to receive cash for points.“ - http://www.funadvice.com/doc/faq
