    Power User Status

    **Ways to become a Power User**

    There are 3 different ways to gain Power User status,

    1- You can rack up your points on the site, there is a post above that explains the point's system. Once you earn 100,000 points you automatically gain Power User Status. The time it takes to gain this amount of points depends entirely on how you personally use the site.

    2- Buy an annual pass for only £20. Go to: http://www.ukbride.co.uk/supermarket/product/ukbride-power-users/power-user-virtual-loyalty-card

    3- Buy the pass monthly for £2.50. Go to: http://www.ukbride.co.uk/supermarket/product/ukbride-power-users/ukbride-power-user-membership-monthly



    **What do I get when I become a Power User?**

    Currently the Power User tools are a work-in-progress, with the IT team working flat out to ensure they have different tools up and running asap. Here is a current list of what Power User Status includes (this list will expand once more tools are added to be sure to check back often):

    *An extra 100 entries into the annual Win A Wedding competition
    *Instant entry into the monthly prize draws, open only to Power Users
    *A countdown ticker on the forum, which you can customise
    *A signature area for you to customise, this will show under every post you make and can contain a photo
    *The ability to post smilies on the forum
    * Add images to your posts
