Some time ago, a certain platform launched an XPL airdrop campaign for cardholders. I heard this was the first in the industry, so I couldn’t resist giving it a try. To my surprise, I ended up with an unexpected reward.

My account accumulated 300 points, which were directly converted into 240 XPL tokens according to the exchange rules. Based on the current market price, this amounts to roughly $60. I have to say, the feeling of getting something for free is really satisfying—like having extra pocket money out of nowhere.

Since I experienced the benefits firsthand, I want to share the entire process and some common pitfalls to watch out for. First, make sure your wallet has a small amount of XPL tokens stored. The most critical step is to switch your wallet network to Plasma. The gas fees on this network are ridiculously low, almost negligible, which is definitely worth praising.

Regarding the operational details, I initially tried several times on the web version, but each time I got stuck at an error message. I thought, “Why is this so difficult to use?” Later, I had a flash of inspiration and switched to a mainstream wallet app to resubmit the application. Surprisingly, it went smoothly—less than 2 minutes from submission to funds arriving. That comparison really left a deep impression on me.

So my advice is, if you encounter issues on the web, don’t get stuck; just switch to your mobile wallet app and try again. The success rate will be much higher. Users holding U cards still have a chance to participate. If you miss this round of the airdrop, there might not be such a good opportunity again.
