Do you get rewards with each level you gain on Yahoo Answers?

I know for level two you get to rate "Thumbs up" or "Thumbs down"

is there any other rewards that you can get?

    There are less restrictions i.e. you can answer/vote/comment more each day.

    To find out more about the points system (and the restrictions) and more you can click on the "About Yahoo! Answers" link under "Related Links" under the Category list and then click on “Points and Levels” or you can click the number of points you have to go to the same page.

    If you can't find the page click the link: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=...

    Also if you get a lot of best answers in a certain category, you earn a "Top Contributor" badge. You can earn up to 3.I'm not sure on the amount as I still haven't got one.

    You become more "powerful" as you move up the Levels

    You get to vote on unresolved answers.

    You are allowed to answer more questions per day, you don't have to signing in, you are given more "responsibility" for example - had I given someone a thumbs down on Level 2, it would show as just another thumbs down in the total tally. On Level 7, I know that my one thumbs down will result in the near wipe out of a "low rating"; frustrating sometimes when all you want to do is say to someone is "that was an uncalled for remark, or your statements are incorrect" but leave the answer for other people to read and to vote upon.

    You can check out the "rewards" for progression through the Levels.

    With each higher level there are fewer restrictions and you gain a few extra privileges such as being able to ask and answer more questions before you reach your daily limits.

    What you don't get is any prizes. Even when you reach level 7 all you get is an automated congratulation message with a humerous comment to the effect that "Perhaps we should create a level 8 just for you.".

    I n the past I`ve gotten a water bottle & a car magnet, but I think they stopped that, no free gifts in a long time. So no, No rewards

    I heard they send Omaha Steaks when you reach level 7.

    Hehehehe......just a silly joke.

    Not sure, good question though.

    How about the satisfaction you get when you know that you've helped someone you've never met?

    That's why I do it.
