hey, I wanted to answer your question but if I posted it on the discussion i made it would be hard to find the comment. so if you enter an event or giveaway -1000 is the entry fee and it is taken away. however if you are trying to earn a β star by your name (like mine) you just need to earn 10,000 lifetime points it doesn't matter if you use these points in an event because it matters how many points you have earned in TOTAL. Along with making 3 reviews. So, 10,000 (you don't have to have that all at once) + 3 reviews to apply for β. picky doesn't notify you that you earned a star it just appears one day. I waited 1 1/2 month for mine.
Picky has a blog called
blog.gopicky.com and it has different blog explaining rules to help get you familiar with everything (a lot of people on this app are confused here and there so don't worry you'll get the hang of it!ππΈ
