How to maximise rewards in Klink
Adam Purcell on 15 January 2025
Listen, some of us live for the coins. There, I said it. When using Klink there are so many great features that help you get on the property ladder sooner, understand your finances and have some fun. We know that our Klinkers get a lot out of the app, including those who gobble up as many coins and diamonds as possible! These magpies of digital world are experts at maximising the rewards for app usage and can rack up some serious numbers and prizes over time.
But how do they do it?
Now, as I work at Klink I’m not allowed to take part in the competitions or win prizes, but I do study the Klinker tinker data closely to see what it is that people do to have fun and make the most of the rewards system.
So here’s my guide on where all the treasure is buried. Just keep it a secret!
Are coins just coins? What do they do?
So it’s worth starting with a quick look at why we want these little round klinky things in the first place. Why do they matter? Well, it’s quite simple. There are two benefits of earning coins:
- 1,000 coins earns you 1 diamond. To be clear, you don’t trade in 1,000 coins for 1 diamond, you get to keep both. And diamonds…well diamonds mean a lot, but we’ll talk about that in a minute.
- Your coin total is what determines your place in the daily cash competition!
Ok, big deal, coins mean diamonds and leaderboard rankings. But why should I care about either of those? You can probably guess what’s coming next…
Leaderboards. Be the bestest!
Your leaderboard position is very important. It’s what determines the prize you get at the end of that period. So for example, if you come 1st, 2nd or 3rd, we pay you a cash prize! If you narrowly miss out and come 4th (listen to this as there may be tactics involved), you get a huge coins reward that is credited to you for the next day. Did you hear that? The next day! This means that at the start of next day you might be in 1st place and the winners from the day before get no coin rewards as we gave them real cash money!
Following?
Narrowly missing out on a cash prize, or even coming 10th doesn’t mean it was a pointless effort the day before, it means you’ll probably start the next day some places higher than you finished. It’s then up to you to keep pushing to keep it there or go for the next place up. The same is true in weekly diamond competitions. Winners get cash, ‘losers’ get coins on the following Monday morning and fly up the daily rankings.
The lower you finish on the leaderboard the lower your reward. Just in case that’s not obvious already.
Diamonds. Diamonds. Diamonds.
Now we’re talking. What are these glinting klinking things then? I’ve already explained that 1,000 coins leads to earning diamonds (along with many other ways to earn which I’ll talk about soon), but I haven’t explained what the point in earning diamonds is, have I?
This is the best part.
Here’s what you can do with diamonds:
- Our weekly leaderboard competition is judged on diamonds. It’s basically identical to the daily coin competition, but with bigger prizes. Come 1st in the weekly competition and you could win £150! Come 4th and we’ll give you 1,250 coins.
- You can trade your diamonds in for cash. That’s right Klinkers, you could exchange your hard-earned diamonds for guaranteed cash money! Just head to the ‘Redeem Diamonds’ section and press the buttons until you’re flush with cash. The rewards are constantly changing as they get redeemed. But for example, you could redeem 200 diamonds for £20!!!
So, quick formula to recap….
Get coins = move up the leaderboards = get cash or more coins = get diamonds = get cash = buy a home sooner.
Right, we know why we play now. So I’m going to ask the burning question on all your minds. How do I optimise what I earn for coins and diamonds?
