I was wondering the same thing. I met a guy at one of the stations (which was not working properly) who quickly showed me that his app allows him to earn triple and quadruple points, but I cannot figure out how to get them. I was wondering if the app for an android phone is different than the app for an iPhone. And...I mentioned the fact that you have to pay taxes after you earn more than $600, which he apparently had not yet done. He told me that he only earns up to 1000 points per month, which I have exceeded for several months...so I don't think Jess's answer accurately addresses the issue. In fact, the people at the top of the leaderboard are leaps and bounds above the rest, and I cannot believe they could physically amass that many points without having the additional bump no matter how strategic they may be. So...the question is...if we are using an updated app, why are we not seeing the same option? I got a new phone, so I know my phone has had the most current app.
On a side note...I could not even access the bike angels app for a week and a half when my phone crashed, because you cannot log on online without a phone to access the code (which is absolutely ridiculous). If someone battery dies, or text messages are not accessible, they cannot even park a bike (even if they have a laptop with them at the same time).
