How are my reward points calculated?

Submitted by sebastien.paqu… on

Appi reward points are calculated for each trip based on your driving score. The calculation looks at a number of dynamic factors, such as the weekly average scores of all Appi users. But, unlike the mileage reported on your car insurance policy, Appi doesn’t consider your distance travelled.

How do I claim my rewards?

To claim Appi rewards in the form of e-gift cards for many businesses, you must first sign up for the Appi program.

Once your account is activated in the Appi app, you can start earning reward points on your trips. And once you’ve racked up enough, you can choose from a selection of gift cards.

Will emergency braking or turning affect my score?

Submitted by sebastien.paqu… on

No.

Appi primarily considers your overall driving habits, i.e., how frequently you behave a certain way on the road. A single instance of emergency braking or turning will not affect your overall score. Only the score for the trip in question will be affected.

At Promutuel Insurance, we know that emergency braking and turning is sometimes necessary to avoid an accident. We just hope you never have to perform such manoeuvres. Stay alert!

What is “distracted driving”?

Submitted by sebastien.paqu… on

For Appi, “distracted driving” means using your cellphone while driving. 

Appi analyzes different distracted driving events and how long they last:

  • Phone calls using the cellphone speaker
  • Phone calls using the vehicle speaker or a Bluetooth device
  • Handling the phone, such as sending texts or actively using an app

Appi also considers these behaviours to be distracted driving even when you’re stopped, but penalizes you less than when you’re moving. 

What is “hard braking”?

Submitted by sebastien.paqu… on

For Appi, “hard braking” is rapid vehicle deceleration where the speed decreases at least 8.1 km/h in a second.

The driving score calculation also takes into account how intense the recorded braking is, as well as the number of instances of hard braking in relation to the distance travelled.

Did you know? Hard braking is a very common cause of accidents. That’s why we encourage soft braking. Safe braking will also increase your score—and your Appi reward points. Think about it!
