Readers may earn credits for reading articles and watching videos everyday from any part or section of ST published on any of the ST Apps when they are logged in. Each time the reader finishes reading an article, he will be automatically credited with one point. On the accumulation of at least three credits a day, a Spinning Wheel will pop up for a one-time opportunity to redeem prizes. Once a prize is determined, the reader shall have to start accumulating credits by reading more articles the next day for more opportunities to win more rewards. Any decision on the validity of the credits or rewards submitted is at SPH’s sole discretion, and any such decision by SPH shall be considered final, conclusive and binding on the reader. Each reader is limited to a number of times to redeem each of the listed prizes, one time for books and tablets and X number of times such that the total free subscription is not more than 31 days in a month and not more than 3 times for other prizes unless stated otherwise. Credits are earned as per Rewards Programme Rules. Notwithstanding the publication of the ending date of the Rewards Programme, SPH reserves the right to terminate the Rewards Programme if all rewards are fully redeemed before the end date. Collection of the rewards must be done within three (3) months from the date of redemption of the credits, failing which the credits shall be deemed to have expired and the reward will be forfeited.
