📅 How long does the programme run?
It's a 3 month trial, running from September to November 2026. Some things may change as we learn, and we'll always let you know if they do.
🎯 How many points do I need each month?
You need 50 points a month to earn that month's reward. Mix and match whatever activities suit you from the menu.
📝 When and how do I submit my activities?
Pop everything into this Typeform once the month ends. You've got 30 days to submit the previous month's activities. For example, you'll have until 30 November to submit your activities for October. Once we've checked them, your reward is on its way.
📸 What counts as evidence?
For social activities: a screenshot and a link to the post. For platforms like Snapchat and Instagram stories, a screenshot is enough, since there's no way to link it.
For Olio activities: a screenshot of your listings, messages and collections, plus photos of the posters you've put up.
🔁 Can I do the same activity over and over?
Some activities are capped each month, because we'd love you to try a variety rather than repeating one thing. The menu shows the cap next to each one.
🎁 What rewards can I earn?
A £20 Tesco voucher each month you hit 50 points (up to 3 across the trial),
A one-off £50 voucher if you refer 100 friends to Olio with your referral link
An end-of-trial bonus of £50 voucher if across the trial you’ve accumulated 300+ points
Everyone also gets an Olio welcome pack and a reference for their CV 🎉
🔗 Where do I find my referral link?
Tap "Share Olio with friends" in the app for a ready made message with your link.
Or add your Olio user ID (found on your public profile) to the end of this link: share.olioex.com/referral/USERID
❓ Is my referral link the same as my normal Olio one?
Yes, it's your regular Olio referral link, so anyone who signs up through it counts towards your total.
🎥 Do I have to make videos or be on camera?
Not at all. Videos earn more points, but you choose what suits you: posting, adding listings, putting up posters or commenting all count.
🖨️ What if I run out of posters?
If you've run out of posters and would like more, you can print extra at your own cost from your Ambassador resources.
⏸️ What if I can't take part one month?
That's completely fine, just let us know. We'd only pass your spot to another student if we hadn't heard from you for a couple of weeks.
💬 Who do I ask if I'm stuck?
Drop a message in the WhatsApp community any time. The Olio team and your fellow Ambassadors are there to help.
