Detailed Changes

What It Does: Admins can now create premium reward tiers where users earn XP multipliers on all activities. When a user redeems a VIP reward tier, they receive a configurable multiplier (1.5x, 2x, etc.) that applies to all XP earned during a specific period.How It Works:
  1. Admin creates a new reward tier of type “XP Boost Redemption”
  2. Defines multiplier value (e.g., 2x points) and duration (e.g., 30 days)

  4. Multiplier expires after duration or when user earns configured amount of XP
