Hi Folks,In the top right of my Origin screen, under my Monika and next to my avatar, appears 500. When I click on it I get my achievements in ME3 and my Origin Points collected. Firstly, what am I supposed to do with these points? Secondly, I think there may have been a glitch with my points as I ran all 6 character types all the way through ME2, imported them all into ME3 and went some way before the first of 2 copies of ME3 I had been allotted, dissapeared, taking 5 of my hard earned characters with it! Guess how happy I was? I'm kind of resigned to not being able to sort out my missing characters, as I don't seem able to contact actual REAL people at EA or Origin, just dumb computers.So, given that I've been granted 500 of these blessed points, what can I do with them?

Those points are just a score. There's nothing you can do with it. Can't help you with the second question because I'm not sure what you're asking.

I feel like they should be used to buy in game items or maybe games like sim points they could each be worth 1 cent and let's say you have 500 you get like $5 dollars off any purchase on origin or like get a discount

I wondered the same. I decided one day to get most of the achievements, I wanted to buy Mass Effect 3 Citadel Dlc... I was sooo happy when I got 1200 that was needed, and went to get it. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I realized I needed Bioware and NOT Origin points... Whats the point of Origin points, if it is only decorative.. I guess some people like to decorate..

At first I think the same. Without checking first that it is not the same thing, bioware points and origin points....😠
Hope they will do something about it soon.

2016 and still nothing. Big fat useless nothing. It would be nice to use those point. Or have ability to trade them. Say like 5 Origin points for 1 BioWare point, I would love some ME2 and 3 DLCs, or something like that. Otherwise it's just useless. Sure I can pat myself on the back that I have so many points, but what of it? Nothing. And I have a feeling, that there is nothing going to be done about it. Shame. A real shame.

Uplay at least has some cool in game stuff you can get with points. Hopefully Origin plans on the same kind of thing.

Hello @BrianLEDET

Interesting ideas you have there! Care to share any more of them with us? We have this new Origin community going here, discussing all things Origin-related.

Cheers,

That link did not work anymore.

I found a new one: [https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/origin-faq#tracking] A QUICKSTART GUIDE TO ORIGIN - Tracking achivements and points.

So it seems that these Origin point may not be activated at this time?
