You just earn them for doing stuff, like browsing, and posting on the the forum. If you go to "Bank" on the eStore pull down menu, on the right, then you can deposit your points and they will earn interest.
So far they have entertained me by trying to figure out how many points are earned by specific tasks... but then again I'm easily amused!
You can give points to anyone by clicking on the word "points" under their name. If you need practice you can try it on me!
