Section 1: General
Q1: What are Watts?
Watts are loyalty points you earn when you shop at Baofeng Radio UK, complete certain actions, or refer friends. You can redeem Watts for discount codes to save money on future orders. All earning and redemption is managed through the Baofeng Rewards Panel — the purple button at the bottom-left corner of our website.
Q2: Is there a membership fee to join the Watts programme?
No — the Watts programme is completely free. You start earning Watts as soon as you create an account and make qualifying purchases. There are no tiers, no hidden fees, and no annual charges.
Q3: Do I need to create an account to earn Watts?
Yes. You must have a registered account at baofengradio.co.uk to earn and redeem Watts. Guest checkout orders do not earn Watts. The good news? Creating an account earns you 100 bonus Watts instantly!
Q4: Where is the Baofeng Rewards Panel?
Look for the purple button at the bottom-left corner of any page on our website. Click it to open the Rewards Panel, where you can:
- View your current Watts balance
- Complete earning actions (e.g. Follow on Facebook)
- Redeem Watts for discount codes
- Access your referral link
Q5: Do my Watts expire?
No — your Watts do not expire. They remain in your account until you choose to redeem them. Take your time and redeem when you're ready.
Section 2: Earning Watts
Q6: How do I earn Watts?
There are several ways to earn Watts:
| Action | Watts Earned | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Place an order | 2W per £1 spent | Min. order £10 |
| Create an account | 100W | One-time only |
| Follow us on Facebook | 100W | One-time only |
| Leave a Trustpilot review (4–5 stars) | 50W per review | Processed on the 1st & 15th of each month |
| Refer a friend | 100W | Unlimited |
All earning actions are completed inside the Baofeng Rewards Panel on our website.
Q7: I'm a new customer. What's the fastest way to unlock my first reward?
Here's the fastest route to your first £2 discount:
Both the account registration and Facebook follow are completed inside the Baofeng Rewards Panel (purple button, bottom-left of our website). No need to spend big — a £10 minimum order gets you over the line!
Q8: When will Watts from my purchase appear in my account?
Watts from purchases are credited once your order status is marked as Completed (i.e. dispatched and fulfilled). This typically happens within 1–3 business days after your order ships. Pending or cancelled orders do not earn Watts.
Q9: I placed an order but didn't receive any Watts. Why?
The most common reasons are:
- You checked out as a guest — Watts are only awarded to registered accounts. Please ensure you are logged in before placing your order.
- Your order hasn't been completed yet — Watts are credited only when the order status is "Completed" (shipped/fulfilled), not at the time of payment.
- Your order was below £10 — The minimum qualifying order is £10.
If none of these apply, please contact us and we'll investigate.
Q10: Do I earn Watts on shipping costs?
No — Watts are earned on the product subtotal only, excluding shipping fees, taxes, and any discounts applied.
Q11: Do I earn Watts when I use a discount code?
Yes — you still earn Watts when using a discount code. However, the Watts earned are calculated on the final amount paid after the discount, not the original price.
Section 3: Trustpilot Reviews
Q12: How do I earn Watts from a Trustpilot review?
Leave a 4–5 star review on our Trustpilot page at trustpilot.com/evaluate/baofengradio.co.uk. Each qualifying review earns you 50 Watts.
Q13: I left a Trustpilot review but haven't received my 50 Watts yet. Why?
Trustpilot review Watts are not awarded automatically. We manually verify and process review points on the 1st and 15th of each month. Please allow up to 15 days after leaving your review for the Watts to appear in your account. If your balance hasn't updated after the next processing date, please contact us.
Q14: Can I earn Watts from multiple Trustpilot reviews?
Yes — you can earn 50 Watts for each qualifying review, provided you have placed a corresponding order. For example, if you've placed 3 separate orders, you may leave up to 3 reviews and earn up to 150 Watts.
Section 4: Redeeming Watts
Q15: How do I redeem my Watts?
Follow these 3 steps:
- Visit baofengradio.co.uk and click the purple Baofeng Rewards Panel button (bottom-left)
- Choose your reward tier and click "Redeem" to generate a unique discount code
- Add items to your cart and apply the code at checkout
Q16: What rewards can I redeem?
| Watts Required | Discount | Min. Order |
|---|---|---|
| 220W | £2 off | £30 |
| 300W POPULAR | £5 off | £55 |
| 500W | £10 off | £100 |
| 900W | £20 off | £200 |
| 500–1,800W (Flex) | £5–£18 off (slider) | £55 |
The Flex Discount lets you choose exactly how many Watts to spend (between 500W and 1,800W) at a rate of 100W = £1.
Q17: I have between 220–299 Watts. Can I upgrade from £2 off to £5 off?
Yes — and it's easier than you think! Instead of redeeming £2 off now, leave a quick 4–5 star Trustpilot review (+50W) and upgrade your reward to £5 off — that's 2.5x the saving for one simple action!
A few things to keep in mind:
- Review points are processed on the 1st and 15th of each month
- Use the same email for Trustpilot and your Baofeng account
- If you have 220–249W, a review (+50W) gets you close — a small additional purchase will cover the rest
Q18: What is the Flex Discount?
The Flex Discount is a flexible redemption option that lets you choose exactly how much to redeem, using a slider:
- Minimum: 500W = £5 off
- Maximum: 1,800W = £18 off
- Rate: 100 Watts = £1
- Min. order: £55
This is ideal if you have an odd number of Watts or want to save a specific amount. You'll find it in the Baofeng Rewards Panel alongside the fixed discount options.
Q19: Can I use a Watts discount code together with another promotion or discount code?
No — only one discount code can be applied per order at checkout. If you have both a Watts discount code and a promotional code, you'll need to choose one. We recommend using whichever gives you the greater saving.
Q20: I redeemed a Watts discount code but forgot to use it. Can I get my Watts back?
Once a discount code is generated, the Watts are deducted from your balance. If your code is unused and unexpired, please contact us and we'll do our best to reverse the redemption and restore your Watts. Please do not generate codes unless you intend to use them soon.
Q21: Can I use my Watts discount code on any product?
Yes — Watts discount codes can be applied to any product in our store, including sale items, as long as the order meets the minimum order value for that reward tier.
Q22: What happens to my Watts if I return an order?
If you return an order (or part of an order) that earned you Watts, the corresponding Watts will be deducted from your balance. If you used a Watts discount code on the returned order, the discount code will not be reinstated — please contact us if you need assistance.
Q23: Why can't I redeem my Watts? The "Redeem" button is greyed out.
This usually means one of the following:
- Insufficient Watts — You need at least 220W to unlock the first reward (£2 off).
- You're not logged in — Make sure you're signed in to your account before opening the Rewards Panel.
- Browser issue — Try clearing your cache, disabling ad-blockers, or using a different browser.
Section 5: Referral Programme
Q24: How does the referral programme work?
- Open the Baofeng Rewards Panel and copy your unique referral link
- Share it with friends, family, or fellow radio enthusiasts
- When someone uses your link and completes their first order, you earn +100 Watts
- There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer
Q25: Does my referred friend get a reward too?
The referral reward is designed for the referrer (you). Your friend benefits by discovering Baofeng Radio UK and can start earning their own Watts by creating an account, following us on Facebook, and placing orders.
Q26: When do I receive my referral Watts?
Referral Watts are credited once your friend's first order status is marked as Completed (shipped/fulfilled). This typically takes 1–3 business days after dispatch.
Q27: Where do I find my referral link?
Open the Baofeng Rewards Panel (purple button, bottom-left of our website) and scroll to the "Refer a Friend" section. Your unique referral link will be displayed there, ready to copy and share.
Section 6: Account & Technical
Q28: I can't see the Rewards Panel on my phone. What should I do?
The Rewards Panel button should appear at the bottom-left of the screen on mobile devices. If you can't see it:
- Try scrolling to the bottom of the page
- Disable any ad-blockers or privacy extensions
- Clear your browser cache and reload the page
- Try using a different mobile browser (e.g. Chrome or Safari)
If the issue persists, please contact us with your device and browser details.
Q29: Can I transfer my Watts to another account?
No — Watts are non-transferable and are tied to your individual account. They cannot be moved to another account, exchanged for cash, or shared with other customers.
Q30: Can I earn Watts on past orders placed before the programme launched?
When we launched the Watts programme, we credited Watts for qualifying past orders to eligible accounts. Going forward, Watts are earned automatically on all new qualifying orders placed while logged in to your account.
