The Atlassian Community Forums are currently in read-only mode. We will be relaunching on a new platform on September 22 (read more here). We apologize for the extended downtime. For concerns or questions, please email communitymanagers@atlassian.com. See you on the other side, on the new Atlassian Community Forums! :)
I assume you are referring to the Kudos Points in this community. They are primarily a recognition system for your contributions to the community. You can't use them to "buy" swag, but in some cases swag will be awarded.
