As part of engaging with our AFOL communities, the VIP team want to share release notes for recent updates that we make to the VIP Program from a technological, rewards and program basis. This process will enable us in the VIP team a opportunity to share some of the changes taking place with the VIP program overall. This information is more in-depth than a usual marketing communication and will be relating more specifically towards the operations of the program. 

We will provide updates when the changes has taken place that week or are due to be launched onto our site within a few days, as a result we will provide information when it’s ready to be shared, often we will roll several updates into batches that get released on a 2 weekly basis, Some changes will be applied as additional hotfixes to the site between these batch releases as and when required. Some of these will be to fix stability or minor changes that have no significant impact to VIP members. 

Rewards being added, removed or altered on the site, and activities where you can earn additional points can be added to the site at any point so will share these at regular intervals.These new regular posts will also provide us in the VIP team an opportunity to answer any questions about changes taking place the program overall. Answer questions about future updates to the program as a whole, or any feature requests you would like to see made to the program in the future.We will do our best to then provide you with answers to your questions where possible. 

We hope that you find value in these updates that we share, your feedback will be invaluable to tailoring the not only these release notes in the future but also helping prioritising improvements to the program.Below is a compiled list of Hotfixes we have made to the VIP Reward Center since we launched on our new platform.
