# Adding a Point Redemption Entry

In order to use this feature, be sure to enable [**points and rewards**](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/account-settings#points-rewards) for your account.

When a learner redeems points that they've earned, you can manually track the points that they've redeemed.

To add a point redemption entry:

1. From the Admin menu, select **Account Admin**.
2. Select **Points & Rewards**. The [Points & Rewards Dashboard](/v1/docs/points-and-rewards-dashboard) displays.
3. Click **Redemption**.

A tab displays the existing points earned and redeemed.

| **User** | Select the user to whom you would like to enter points redeemed. |
| **Point Tracker** | Select the [point tracker](/v1/docs/point-trackers) to which you would like to enter points redeemed. |
| **Type** | Select the action on the points: - Earned - Points are being added to the user's point tracker. - Redeemed - Points are being subtracted from the user's point tracker. |
| **Points** | The number of points being added to or removed from the user's point tracker. If points are being redeemed, enter a negative number to indicate how many points the learner redeemed. For example, if the learner is redeeming 10 points, enter -10. |

If you would like to override the point tracker's calculated expiration date, select the date that the points will expire. |
