Beyond Pacific is live – submit your claims now! (Years 10-12)
Have you been wondering when you can submit a request for Beyond Pacific points? You can do it anytime! Just go to the Beyond Pacific NAV page, and submit your claim. If you’re still not sure how Beyond Pacific works, there is information there to help you. Please note, you can only claim for Beyond Pacific points in the current year, so you can only submit claims for your activities this year. And if you are involved in an activity that runs for a long time, you should wait until the end to apply for points, because the more time and commitment you give to an activity, the more points you can get.
