Held, not banked. Finish after finish, while their points are still valid.
Keep your next finish in sight.
Each race’s points count until a date Dryland sets, usually around the time it runs again. When it passes, they come off every member’s total at once, and your tier can drop.
Do I need to sign up for Dryland Rewards?
Yes. Sign up and register your profile in the Dryland Rewards app, or on the web, to receive your unique DL member number. Joining is free.
Which ID do I sign up with?
Your South African ID number. If you ride from outside South Africa, you can sign up with your passport number instead. Your results are matched to you by that number.
Do my past finishes count?
Yes. Recent Dryland results under your ID or passport number are linked to you when you join, and they count for as long as their points are valid.
Does this apply to a team or only solo entries?
It does not matter. Rewards apply to the person and are linked to your SA ID number.
How do I earn points?
Your tier is based on all the points you hold. As soon as you are recognised as an official finisher you are allocated that race’s points. If you do not complete an event within the race rules, no points are on offer.
Are new events added to the programme?
New events are not added automatically. It can take up to 12 months to bring an event into the programme.
How long do my points last?
Each race’s points count until an expiry date Dryland sets for that race, usually around the time it runs again the following year. When that date passes, those points come off every member’s total at the same time.
Is there a limit to how many points I can hold?
No. There is no seasonal limit: every finish whose points are still valid counts toward your tier, all the way to Legendary at 310 points and 70% off.
How do I get my discount?
Enter on EntryNinja, Dryland’s entry platform, and sign in with your ID number. Your tier’s percentage, from 5% at Gritty to 70% at Legendary, comes off the standard entry fee at checkout, excluding any extras or upgrades.
Do I spend my points when I use my discount?
No. Your points stay on your total until their race’s expiry date, however many entries you use your discount on.
May I transfer my discount to someone else?
No. Discounts and any other benefit of the programme may not be transferred, and cannot be exchanged for cash.
What happens if I sell my entry or do a substitution?
This has no bearing on your status. Your tier is determined by your results, not your entry.
If I receive a discounted or complimentary entry, do I still receive points?
Yes. You receive points as for any other entry: the points are based on a successful result, not on the entry.
What if I enter late?
The late entry fee still applies as usual, and you receive your discount on the increased amount. The points you earn stay the same.
Do I receive points for the shorter versions of an event?
No. Points are only awarded for the races in the programme, so a shorter version such as the Attakwas Half does not earn points.
Can I combine my discount with other Dryland promotions?
No. Rewards members may not claim other discounts or promotions Dryland offers from time to time, other than the Rewards discount.
