A friend told me that with $1,000 during the Alpha points campaign, you could earn 18 points per day, stack up 270 points in 15 days, and claim 8 airdrops.
Sounds nice, but is it actually possible? Let’s break it down.
How the points are earned:
With $1,000 (actual balance slightly higher), using limit orders on BSC (trading volume counts x4), you’d need to complete 16.4 full trades daily (buy+sell = 1 trade, so 32 operations in total).
This costs around $3.2 in fees per day, giving you 16 trading points plus 2 balance points = 18 points/day. Over 15 days, that’s exactly 270 points.
The airdrop claim threshold:
Each claim costs 15 points. 8 claims would require 120 points, leaving you with 150 points.
However, in the past 20 days, the minimum threshold to be eligible for an airdrop has been 200 points (e.g., #Game event: Phase 1 = 237 pts, Phase 2 = 200 pts).
It only dropped once to 185 points—and that was claimed almost instantly. In other words, if your points drop below 200, you typically can’t claim more.
If we calculate claim progress:
270 → claim 1 = 255 → claim 2 = 240 → claim 3 = 225 → claim 4 = 210 → claim 5 = 195 → claim 6 = 180 → claim 7 = 165 → claim 8 = 150.
Clearly, after the 5th claim, you’d fall under the 200-point threshold and be locked out.
The only possible “loophole”:
Binance updates points daily from 8:00 to 14:00 UTC.
If you time your claims before the update (when points aren’t deducted in real time), you might sneak in multiple claims in one day.
This would require “4 claims in a single day.” The problem? Since July, the highest recorded is “3 claims in one day”—never 4.
If a 4-claim day happens only once every 2–3 months, then the “270 points = 8 airdrops” pitch could easily mislead newcomers.
Has anyone actually seen 4 airdrop claims in a single day? How often does it happen? Let’s discuss.
