Tux Rewards points are not accumulated for purchases made with an invoice or when using a redemption code.
How long do I have to redeem my coupon?
Once you earn your Tux Rewards 50% coupon by making a purchase of $500 or more, you have one year from your last eligible purchase to generate and use/redeem the code towards another purchase. If you do not use/redeem the coupon within one year of your last purchase, your 500 points and your Tux Reward coupon will expire.
If my purchase totals more than $500 will I receive more than one 50% coupon?
You earn 1 point for every $1 spent with us, with a max of 500 points earned per day. (If your purchase for 1 day exceeds $500, you will earn 500 points and the amount over $500 will not rollover to another day.)
When you reach 500 points, you will receive a 50% discount coupon that you may use on any new eligible purchase from training.linuxfoundation.org.

Once you make a purchase that qualifies for Tux Rewards points, it may take up to 72 hours for the points to show up in your portal account.
Are my Tux Rewards points transferable?
