do u get stuff when u earn points for answering questions on yahoo??

You have 150 points, actually. And, no, not really.

Points simply promote participation. They allow you to ask, answer, vote even more! To be able to brag some. December of 2006, we did get stuff if we signed up, depending on our levels, like coffee mugs, sweaters, hats. But most of the promotions are to EVERYONE in the US at Level 2 or above.

which is the blue HELP link at the top right of this page has a lot of answers and instructions for you.

To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

Levels are another way to keep track of how active you (and others) have been. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's!

And finally, as you attain higher levels, you'll also be able to contribute more to Yahoo! Answers - you can ask, answer, vote and rate more frequently.

When I reached level 2, I was asked do I want a reward.

I received a big refrigerator magnet with the Yahoo Answers logo. Saying: "I am making the world a smarter place."
