How about you makey-makey a giveaway yourself? Apart from the points, it would also generate some +karma for you. Just a thought.

Points generate for every game put up for giveaway, you get 5% of the value of each game.

The max points you can get is 300, so best to use them up every day or else you loose all the points you would have gotten otherwise (while your total sits at the max of 300).

You can have more than 300 points, at least indirectly, but I think it is better if I just leave it at that.

You should enter on giveaways for games you want... dont enter on random giveaways to win games you will never play...

Yep, it seems I have 300 points problem too... looks like it starts to be a massive epidemy... We should do something about it or people will die!

Welcome to how it normally is when there's no major Steam Sale and no new Indie Bundle release.

+1 This. Besides sales and bundle releases, there are also occasionally incidents of exploitation that make the points generate super fast (sometimes they even generate faster than I'm even able to spend them. I'm looking especially at you, Metro 2033 -flood :P)

Don't worry. Not wanting to enter giveaways to win completely free stuff is a common problem. A first world problem, that is. I find myself stuck with it sometimes too. I usually only enter giveaways that are open for a short period of time for generally better chance to win, but if I have a bunch of excessive points, I'll just start spending them on giveaways that end much later. That usually solves my problem :)

No, it's still pretty much stuck at 300 all the time.

As I mentioned above, the maximum amount of points you can get is 300.

I know, that's why the counter is stuck at 300 points 99% of the time. Whenever I enter a giveaway, it just goes back there within minutes. So it's not any slower than usual for me, still at the same number. :P

I say it again, you're doing it wrong... If you don't want to lose points that is...

Think about it like this- if there aren't giveaways for any games you're interested going on, then you have no reason to spend your points on anything. In fact, if you enter a giveaway for a game you're not interested in and happen to win, then you're taking it away from someone who actually wanted it. So, yeah, I suggest you reconsider that mentality.

OK, I don't want to get too much in to this but, here is my reasoning..
Perhaps that will turn on the light bulb over your head.

His light bulb is on, but he understands the difference between being absolutely, 100% selfish and being only slightly selfish.

I have heard of cases where people forgot to retrieve those points and ended up winning a game they did not want. Unhappy situation all around.

What's the point?
I enter giveaways that finish in many weeks. My points quickly go back to 300. I now have even more useless points. When I get out of those giveaways before they end (since I don't want the game) I end up over 300 and won't get new points until I spend those. If I'm always sitting at 300, there is no reason to store points is it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, those who always run out of points are the ones doing it wrong. If you enter every single giveaway, you're bound to win something. But will it be something you actually want? Or will you just have prevented someone else from getting the game?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, nothing like that, maybe there were less giveaways for a while (though that is never the case with SG)

All members except the giveaway creator will receive the points.
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't realize since I almost always have my points capped.
If only you could give the points away too..

Is it me or the Points for you to enter on giveaways are generating slower?
