Taobao coin is the point accumulation system on Taobao.com, whereby through each transaction you can earn Taobao coins. V1-V3 Taobao members can collect up to 20 Taobao coins each day, V4-V5 members up to 30 coins, and V6 members 40 coins. These Taobao coins can be redeemed for cash rebate at certain Taobao stores.

  1. Hi Eric,

    Can you go in to a little more detail about how to earn Taobao coins? I am very interested in it, but don’t understand some things. Such as, do we earn coins after transactions, or only by logging in every day and clicking on the “earn coins” button? Are there other ways to earn coins?
