'''Favorite points''' is something implemented by [[Geocaching HQ]] to let [[Geocacher]]s reward [[Cache owners]] if they have created something extraordinary. When a [[Geocacher]] likes a [[Geocache]] he/she can choose to place a favorite point on that [[Geocache]]. The total number of favorite points is shown on the cache page. [[Geocache]]s can also be filtered on favorite points, and [[Project-GC]] creates statistics around this data.

To avoid cheating and the creation of fake accounts it's only [[Premium member]]s of [[Geocaching.com]] that can place favorite points. Also a [[Geocacher]] doesn't have endless of them, for every 10th [[Geocache]] they log they get one favorite point to give away. Favorite points doesn't have to be given right away, they can be saved up as a buffer for future use. Favorite points can be given to old finds, to new finds and also be redrawn for [[Geocache]]s, by the one who placed it.

Favorite points placed belong to the [[Geocache]] they are placed on, not the [[Cache owner]] itself. If the [[Geocache]] is adopted by someone else, the favorite point will follow the [[Geocache]]. Also the [[Cache owner]] can't withdraw that favorite point and give someone else.

Favorite points aren't automatically withdrawn when a [[Geocache]] gets archived either. It's free to withdraw a favorite point at any time you like, but [[Project-GC]] does not recommend withdrawing it just because a [[Geocache]] got archived. [[Project-GC]] prefers to see it as a part of history of the [[Geocache]].
