Have you ever wondered how the Shein Points system really works? Why do you sometimes earn more and other times less? Above all, why does the app sometimes block you or flag you for “risk control”?
(Solución: Palabra clave en el primer párrafo)
At Alixblog, we’ve analyzed Shein’s official policy alongside the internal rule documents for the app’s “Check-in” algorithm.
We’re not guessing. We are going to explain, based on their own rules, how the point-earning machine works and, most importantly, how to avoid being penalized.
The “Check-in Cycle”: This is How You Earn Shein Points
The first thing you need to know is that the daily “Check-in” is not random.
The Official Shein Source:
The Official Shein Bonus Point Program policy confirms you can earn points for “Check-in”. Furthermore, in their Check-In Program Rules, they explain the system is based on a cycle.
The Reality (The Alixblog Analysis):
Your internal document (“APP check-in activities summary”) details how this cycle works:
- Basic Check-in: You earn points just for showing up and checking in.
- Consecutive Check-in: This is the jackpot. If you check in 7 days in a row, the app gives you a “grand prize” (coupons or extra points).
- The “Reset”: If you miss a single day, the counter resets, and you go back to Day 1.

Alt Text Sugerido:
7-day check-in calendar to earn Shein points.
The strategy is simple: Consistency wins. It’s better to check in 7 days in a row (even for 1 second) than 20 days sporadically.
How to Earn MORE Points: The “Hidden” Task List
Checking in is just the beginning. The system is designed to reward you for interacting.
The Official Shein Source:
The same Bonus Point Program policy confirms you can earn up to 2,000 points for comments, 500 for events (SHEIN Live), and 200 for surveys.
The Reality (The Alixblog Analysis):
Your internal document calls this the “Task List”. If you only check in, you are leaving money on the table. Here are the tasks the algorithm rewards:
- Participate in contests: Simply signing up for a “GIVEAWAY” gives you points.
- Visit the “Style Gallery”: The system rewards you just for viewing other users’ looks.
- Complete app tasks: Such as “Complete your reference” or sharing products.
- Add products to cart: (This is the easiest one). The system rewards you just for adding items to your cart, even if you don’t buy them!
Risk Control”: Why Shein Takes Your Points or Blocks You
This is the most critical information in the document, the part no one tells you, and the reason many users lose their rewards.
Shein has an “anti-cheat” system called the Risk Control Mechanism.
Basically, if the algorithm thinks you are a bot or are cheating, it penalizes you.
💡 The Alixblog Insider View (E-E-A-T):
As a former Support Manager (for Shein US, among others), I can confirm this is 100% real. This is an automated system designed to catch users who, for example, use multiple accounts on the same phone or automated software to check in.
The 3 Red Flags that Trigger “Risk Control”
According to the internal document, the algorithm punishes you if it detects:
- Account Anomalies: (e.g., signing up with fake emails).
- Device Anomalies: (e.g., using an emulator, a “rooted” phone).
- Behavioral Anomalies: (e.g., checking in 100 times in 1 minute with a script).

Risk control error warning when claiming Shein points.
The Punishment: The 3-Strike System (The Internal Rule)
The document is clear. If the algorithm catches you, this is what happens:
- First Strike: Your account is blocked from rewards for 24 hours.
- Second Strike: You are blocked for 72 hours (3 days).
- Third Strike: You are permanently banned from earning more points.
(H2) Conclusion: Play Fair and Earn More
Now you know how the Shein Points algorithm truly works.
- Be Consistent: Check in 7 days a week.
- Be Active: Complete the “Task List” (visit the gallery, add to cart) to earn extra points, as confirmed by the official policy.
- Be Human: Don’t try to cheat, because the “Risk Control” system will catch you, just as they warn in their rules.
