help with planning

[MattG]

I'm not sure of the best way to do this:

I have a points system which allows people to earn free stuff once they reach a certain amount of points. Items can be added at any time even if the user cannot 'afford' the item with their current point total.

What I want to do is automatically add the item to the users incoming items when they do reach the right points total without the user needing to do anything.

Not sure exactly how to go about it and if this message makes any sense I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give.

I'm not sure how often points are aquired, but you could possibly check the total number of points every time the earn them and see if they can earn new items.

Another way would be to do this only when a user checks to see what items are available to them.

Let me know if what I said wasn't clear 🙂
