The Free Rewards Method for Pokémon GO Players
In Pokémon GO, items such as Incubators and Remote Raid Passes play a crucial role in facilitating the capture of new creatures. Unfortunately, many of these items are scarce and often require real-world currency for procurement. A recent post by Reddit user u/samfun has introduced a potential solution that allows players to earn these valuable items for free.
How to Get Extra Items: A Detailed Guide
According to the original post, the process involves completing 50 Wayspot reviews, a feature that assesses the viability of Pokéstops. The total time commitment for this task is roughly 30 minutes, and players can expect to receive impressive rewards upon reaching the Max Tier:
- 6 Super Incubators
- 3 Remote Raid Passes
- 6 Incenses
- 5 Star Pieces
- 2 Lucky Eggs
Important Process Changes
Several noteworthy updates streamline the review process:
- Players no longer need to pass a test to participate in Pokéstop reviews; simply reading the tutorial page suffices.
- The review system has shifted from a 1 to 5 rating scale to a straightforward series of yes/no questions regarding the appropriateness of a location.
- Editing existing reviews has been expedited, allowing players to choose from two preset descriptions for a given Pokéstop.

Community Reactions and Challenges
The feedback from the community regarding this method has been mixed. Some players expressed difficulties, particularly with server errors hindering their ability to complete reviews. Player u/OhMyGoth1 reported encountering continuous server errors, ultimately leading to a 24-hour lockout:
“I got error messages every time I tried to review (seemed like server errors, not mistakes on my end) and then they locked me out for 24 hours… Oh well.”
In response, u/samfun suggested that the issue might stem from a lack of official submissions from the player’s country. They recommended changing the bonus location to a major city where the local language is understood:
“Some people on the official forum think that it has to do with a lack of submissions from your country. Try to set your bonus location to a major city you understand the local language.”
Other players echoed similar frustrations. User u/avankaam expressed concern over the protracted nature of the review process:
“After reviewing one Wayspot, a message appeared to come back tomorrow for the next one. This way, it’s going to take me 50 days. I don’t think so.”
Meanwhile, u/ggmonasty opted not to pursue this method due to the perceived risks, remarking on the potential consequences of being banned:
“I refuse to touch Wayfarer solely off the premise they can permaban your account without warning if you screw up. No three strikes, wayfarer is 1 and done. All set. 6 incubators is chump change in the grand scene; you can buy the 15 pack (with 10 regular) off the web store for $20.”
This discussion highlights the mixed feelings within the community about the new method and the trade-offs of earning free items.
