Here are the details:

• There's no need to sign up or keep track of everything - you'll be added to the list when you register for your first class and we'll add up your points for you and let you know when you've got 100!
• You can use your $10 reward at any paid class except for those where beer and wine are served. (You will earn points by attending beer and wine pairing events, but we are unable to offer any discount on the price for these events).
