SpotAngels Ambassador Program

Welcome to the SpotAngels Ambassador Program! This doc will have everything you need to know about the program, from qualification details to inspiration on how to complete challenges, and more.

If you or someone you know would like to become a SpotAngels Ambassador, let us know!

Program Overview

Each month, we ask of you:

• Completion of ONE of the following:
  • 50 challenges (default - we’ll assume you’re doing this unless you indicate otherwise), OR
  • Other local outreach, with the goal of 10 signups and 1 challenge completion from each signup
• Occasional call with our founder (won’t happen every month, just every once in a while - we’ll let you know when)

Each month, we give you in return:

• 2,500 Spotcoins (SPTC)

  • Redeemable for a Plus membership, cash, and/or garage parking
  • This is in addition to the regular Spotcoins you will earn for completing challenges

• Leaderboard

  • Completing challenges will land you on the leaderboard, unlock avatars, and earn you bragging rights

• Streak

  • If you participate in more than 3 consecutive months, you’ll receive incrementally higher amounts of Spotcoins

    • Months 3-6: 3,000 Spotcoins
    • Months 6-9: 3,500 Spotcoins
    • Months 9-12: 4,000 Spotcoins

Here are some FAQs about the program:

• Is this opt-in? What happens if I don’t complete a month?

  • This program is fully opt-in, meaning each month you can choose to participate or not -- once you become an ambassador it will always be on, and any challenges you complete will go towards your 50 challenge tally, but nothing happens if you don’t complete 50 challenges in any given month
  • However, if you DO participate in consecutive months, you’ll unlock even more Spotcoins from the Streak program, laid out above

• How do I know if I’m on a streak? When does it reset?

  • Every time you unlock your ambassador bonus, you will receive an email confirming the bonus and informing you about your current Streak.
  • Streaks reset every month, e.g. let’s say you participate for four months in a row. For the first three months, you’ll get the standard 2,500 SPTC bonus for challenge completion. After the fourth month, you’ll receive 3,000 SPTC instead of 2,500. If you complete a fifth month, you’ll get 3,000 again, but if you don’t complete a 5th month, your streak resets and the next month you do complete you’ll be back at the baseline 2,500 SPTC and considered in “month 1”

• How do I know how many challenges I’ve completed each month?

  • Open your app, and click on the “Account” tab at the bottom right of your screen. Then click “Profile,” then scroll down and you’ll see “Challenges Completed.” That number will reset on the first of every month
  • Make sure your app is updated to the most recent version!

• What do I do when I complete 50 challenges?

  • Nothing! The system is automatically tracking your challenges and you’ll receive the bonus of 2,500 Spotcoins (or more if you’re in a streak) at the end of the month.

• How hard is it to complete 50 challenges? Is there any guidance on how I should do this?

  • 50 challenges can sound like a lot, but it’s actually quite doable. A challenge is just adding one piece of parking info, like taking a photo of a sign. It should be very doable to complete 50 challenges in 1-2 long walks around your neighborhood or a friend’s neighborhood. Another way to look at it is less than 2 challenges a day - you could do this while you walk to and from your car!
  • There is a section of this doc called “Challenge Inspiration + Tips” where you can find more tips, tricks, and inspiration for completing challenges

  ⚠️ What not to do to complete challenges -In general, any contribution that will not help other members of the community find parking or avoid tickets should not be uploaded to the app. -Google Street View screenshots can be fraudulent. It's important to directly take and upload pictures to the app. -Uploading duplicate pictures neither benefits the community members nor demonstrates the app's effectiveness. The same principle applies to obvious "no parking" areas. -For temporary regulations, please only add the ones that are valid for more than 6 months, other than that, the regulation will be rejected. -Creating multiple accounts after reaching the yearly payout limit is strictly prohibited. Users should use only one account for contributions.

• What if I want to help do local outreach/secure 10 signups instead of challenges that month?

  • For now, you let us know this by replying to the monthly reminder email
  • This doc has a section called “Other Local Outreach” where you can find all the info for completing local outreach
