As part of BlackBerry’s alignment of its developer program with their corporate strategy, BlackBerry has just emailed BlackBerry developers informing them that they are ending the BlackBerry Jam Zone Rewards Program.
Developer Options
Cash in your points
Everyone with outstanding points will have the opportunity to make one final order before August 15, 2014. In order to ensure more options for those with a high number of points, BlackBerry have added a BlackBerry Z30 and BlackBerry PlayBook to the list of items you can order.
Donate your points
BlackBerry have made arrangements to convert unused points into charitable donations. For every 25 unused points they’ll donate $1 USD to local charities promoting coding for kids.
If you take no action by August 15, 2014 all of your outstanding points will be automatically converted to a charitable donation.
